Hulk can go from calm to enraged in seconds.
This whole thing about it taking a whole day for him to reach Supermans level, and thus DD's isn't supported by comics.
Him matching Thor, and not climbing higher quickly is simply the editorials way of keeping the fans of both happy.
Same way Superman is constantly touted as the biggest weapon DC Earth has, yet whenever he faces Cap or Wonderwoman, his dominance isn't showcased.....
So as not to alienate either group of fans.
DD, doesn't dwarf Hulk in strength at the onset. He might have the edge, but it can be lost in seconds.
Lastly, DD has been killed by the same means twice.
Radiant killed him in a blast of pure energy, and Imperiex vaped him with a blast of energy.
The forumlore of DD has gotten out of control.
And he doesn't consistently speedblitz, if thats even what it can be called.
Hulk can win some, as can DD.
I'll call it down the middle.
And to whoever said Hulk is a Grundy rip off.........True enough, but Whirly, Superman is clearly based off of Doc Savage.
Superman is based on many mythological and fictonal figures, not only Doc Savage, a small part, but still you are correct, to a very small part. But he is the first real superheroe, a unique creation of imagination, there was no one like him before he appeared. SO he was the first.
Read and enjoy.

"People often bring up Doc Savage as being a Superman prototype, but really it was Mort Weisinger that started stealing Doc riffs for Superman in the fifties and sixties. I think it was Weisinger’s co-opting of Doc’s arctic Fortress of Solitude, especially, that gets people making the direct connection."
BTW it is common knowledge that Superman was created 1933 😉 he appeared just 1938 and started it all.
