When people talk about Pre-Crisis Superman they’re usually referring to the Silver Age version. The Silver Age Superman is the Superman that was ridiculously powerful, it was him as Superboy that was moving an entire Solar System worth of planets, not the Kal-L. Kal-L used to struggle with skyscrapers while Kal-El even as a boy could move planets without any difficulty.

and somehow people found thoes overpowerd feats to be good writing

Everyone knows that The Hulk is stronger than Superman (even pre-crisis); all the hulk needs to do is getting angrier and stronger than his opponent.

BTW:He was the gravage hulk, and nothing can change the fact that he smashed and proved to be stronger than Pre Crisis Superman.

The hulk beat foes more powerful than the kryptonian as Onslaught(in the slugfest i mean), The Galaxy Master, Thor (most times), Gladiator...

at normal strenght hulk can be beaten but if really enraged no one can take him down

Peter David said the hulk can beat Mangog

i asked him on alvaro's comic book

"Sure. Why not."

The fact of the matter is that is isn't proven that Hulk's strength can exceed pre-crisis superman. This is because it isn't proven that he can get angry enough.

Many think that Hulk's strength can grow to infinity. But he can't get infinity angry. As far as I know there is a limit to how angry he can get.
Thus how strong he can get. Thus the only way to judge his potential strength is by feats. And pre-crisis superman has him covered here.

And don't forget that superman vs. hulk stuff isn't cannon. There is a logical reason for this. Usually when famous character's of two dimensions of comics face off then it becomes a popularity contest. This is because each comic company don't what to lose face and money by showing that their character is inferior to the other unless it is blatantly obvious.

He is a finite being. There is always a limit

Otherwise proof would be required to show that his rage has no limit.

Whether Hulk truly has a limit or not is debatable. We've nver seen one, but it is widely believed he has one becase one can only get so angry. However, he can also continually get stronger as he fights someone, or just any thing that gets his adrenaline pumping.

Yes, it is possible for him to reach Pre-Crisis Supes's level of strength. If written in a comic similiar to that first crossover, their strength's would be written similiar to each other's in the first place (and no, I am not saying Hulk can beat Pre-Crisis Superman).

he's never topped out though he's been angry to the point of mindless rage and still showed that he could hold more hate it's debateable if he has a limit to his rage

I really doubt that Hulk is getting up into that strength category. Superman did a lot of crazy shit, that Hulk shouldn't be mentioned to be able to do.

Also, wasn't that a non canon crossover anyway?

So, you think that he can be as strong as LT, or Eternity?

Hulk did some crazy-ass stuff himself back in the day. That's the point I'm making here. Both were always written to be as strong as the story required.

I wasn't using it to prove any thing, but even if they were both written by the same company, they would be portrayed beign around the same strength level.

Having no limit doesn't mean one can become as strong as infinite beings. Hulk will never become as strong as beings such as those, but it doesn't mean he can't keep increasing his strength without stopping.

ok ok really anyone can beat anyone in comics. we the fans sit on forums and hype are fav hero's but really darkseid is a jobber, thor will alway lose more times then not to the hulk, batman will always get the better of superman when they fight. so really what we say on these forums don't mean a rats ass it is what it is. its all up to the writers.
