WWH5 was awesome. Hulk > Sentry and every hero on Earth at that power level.

He still got stalemated by a repowered Juggernaut, when he went after Xavier & the X-Men.
His feats in WWH are just the example of power fluctuations characters go through. His every step opening cracks in the Earth's crust is insane level. Like when 8th day Juggernaut was so powerful he was crashing through dimensional walls, or when Rune King Thor was approaching Spectre-levels of reality warping, or House Of M Scarlet Witch. It's temporary and won't last for Hulk.

I think the gamma nullifier was brand new tech. The Hulk's space ship had tech that disabled the Gamma Nullifier. Stark was able to access it when
Spoiler:
Sentry took out the ship.

Edit: The Warbound and 616 heroes were keeping Sentry's energy from bleeding out into the entire city.

see what Cho said about Hulk never killing, Hulk always retains control of his powers and the only being to have even remotely approached Hulk's power level was a Zom-channelling Strange, and he quickly realised that he couldn't ever hope to control such powers - and those powers, that level of power wasn't even the 'upper limit' of what Hulk has in reserve.
basically all this proves is that Hulk's infinite strength/energies are just that, for all intents and purposes, infinite.
no earthbound superhero, has anything approaching his powers.
he could have buried juggernaut, if juggernaut even minutely posed a threat or an inconvenience...

It reminds me of that time when Superman started overloading with power and how his "slightest touch" could level a city block.
Anyway, I'm kind of looking forward to that Son of Hulk thing.

The energy he displayed towards the end of issue 5 was exponentially more power than when he briefly tussled with Juggernaut. He didn't really consider Juggernaut a true target at the time, only an interference.
It was an example though as you say of fluctuating power level. Many times has the Hulk's strength and power been described as limitless, but this is the first time he's really shown power level so high that his mere existence threatened the planet.
Will try to pick up WWH 2-5 soon so I can see what all the fuss is about too.
And as for Marvels "Big 3", we have yet to see how powerful this reawakened Thor is, if he is Rune+Odinpower Thor he would be way over those two (as roughrider said he would be Spectre level more or less). On a side note, has Thor 4 been release din the states yet?

This comment proves that Hulk's power has never fluctuated. It has either been displayed or it hasn't, but the idea of him having limitless strength has always been there, it's always been his gimmick. It's not like Ice-Man being some random curtain jerker and then Chris Shitmont all of a sudden deciding the man can freeze blood, rather than writing a decent story. Hulk has always been Hulk, regarding his strength. They gave themselves a genius way out when they said "It's limitless.". That way, no matter how far his feats go, they are always plausible, because his strength is limitless.
With Hulk, he does not fluctuate, the fan reaction does, or the writers do. They choose, not what his power is, but how much to show. Fans are idiots like that.
Hulk has always been one of Marvel's big anything. He was always promoted, from the very beginning, as "The strongest there is.". Nothing has changed. Hulk has always been one of the strongest and most fearsome characters in comic book history, that does not go away because certain idiots feel that he isn't.
That is exactly why the series is called World War Hulk. You would never see a World War Juggernaut, Wolverine or Spidey. It's Hulk because he is the only character who could do it.

I wouldn't place him at Spectre level, but it would be pretty sweet if he was skyfather level now.

Well... Juggernaut at the energy level he was during the end of the 8th day saga, where he was 80 feet tall and ripping through reality using his hands (after nearly killing Thor, with Thor being totally helpless against him), would be more than ample threat for most of Marvel Earth (with the exception of Dr. Strange).
