In human form Bruce Banner possesses the normal human strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in no regular exercise.
from marvel directory, those are the facts.
Glads WONT STAY CONFIDENT, and he WONT win!!!, Supes has CRUSHED the Hulk and he will CRUSH Glads, monday,tuesday,wednesday,thursday,friday,saturday, and sunday after CHURCH!!!
Ahem...in case you haven't realised it yet, the whole 100 ton line at Marvel is a canard, a red herring. Its a way for writers not to get boxed in by the true potential of characters; characters under the line like Spider-Man, are not expected perform feats like lifting ocean liners etc. Characters above the line, the writers can be vague about their limits by simply saying " they can lift in excess of 100 tons" and never truly have to show outer limits, until you get into cosmic scale like Galactus.
So Thor, Hercules, Hulk, Gladiator, Colossus etc. can get away with so many amazing feats of strength and never get called on it, because of this vagueness. Don't take the Marvel Directory so literally. 🙄
