Well "a planet" is pretty vague.
Planets can, and do vary in size.
Infact, if you were comparing the asteroid to lets say Pluto (when it was still considered a planet), then "twice the size of a planet" would only be approx. two fifths the size (or mass) of our moon.
Not quite the same as destroying a planet the size of Earth, if you ask me.

It says right on-panel "twice the size of Earth"

and now double it 🙂.

pluto is officially too small to be a planet. if you want to get technical about what constitutes a 'planet' in size, the reasonable thing to do would be to work out the mean and modal sizes for planets in the solar system. I'm guessing that figure would be significantly greater than the size of Earth.and now double it 🙂.
Yes, if you read my post you would see I put in parenthesis "when it was still considered a planet" 🙂
Actually, it would be a little more complicated than that.
Regardless, it's inconsequential as BruteStrength already stated it was specifically compared to Earth.
However, when did this feat occur, if I may ask? (i.e time period)

Thank you,
So the writer could of very well been comparing the asteroid to Pluto, since at that time Pluto was still considered a planet. It was not until August 2006 that Pluto was classified as a Dwarf planet.
Not that it matters, cuz as I said before it was compared directly to Earth, I'm just saying... 🙄
Yeah Hulk, and it's funny how some people here say that an astroid issn't the same as a planet, yeah of course it's not.
Than we should leave the planet busting comment out of other threads since iff I'm not mistaken every planet is different in size,mass, etc.
So we couldn't even compare the feats.
😉
Hulk wins, just very laughable how a few people keep disputing Hulk's feats, even though they've always been of the "incredible" variety.
the Hulk smashes an asteroid twice the size of Earth, well, it can't be a proper asteroid or earth must be really small for a planet etc etc ...
Hulk survives multiple city and planet levelling nukes, oh well they can't have been directly aimed at him then, 'cos he wouldn't have survived otherwise.
we're talking about a character that can channel a UNIVERSE worth of energies - Heroes Reborn - that makes The Beyonder stand up and take notice.
Hulk wins, this is spite, Ronan has no chance without bfr.
