Durability is proportional to his strength otherwise he would fail to lift something. I mainly referring to one's body being able to support weight. The stronger one is then the more they can support weight (which is durability). It is also proven in comics that Hulk's skin gets harder when he gets madder (or stronger-same thing). They are all tied together.And how can I be wrong when you are saying the same thing as me. His durability and strength are tied to his rage right? That implies the madder he gets the stronger he gets. That implies that madder he gets the more durable he gets. Thus by the transitive property of logic the stronger he gets the more durable he gets.
Hulk strength is not potentially infinite because it is impossible for it to reach infinity in the first place. Hulk could gain a gazillion tons of strength every nanosecond and still not reach infinity even if he will live forever. Thus his strength is not potentially infinite.
His powers are all proportionate to his rage, but still individually effected and in no way related to his other powers. They merely have a common source. His powers basically work the same as how Iron Man has to adjust his power output to support different systems on his suit, except Hulk's are auto-amp and are subject to predefined energy distribution. And as for lifting things; if you press a mountain over your head, it's not durability that keeps you from being squished. It's the strength of your muscles. If you stop holding it up, it will squish you. Muscle tissue supports itself with pushing, pulling, and pressing, but what clearly separates it from durability is tensile strength. Meaning, Hulk can hold a 150 billion ton mountain right over his head, and because he's so damn strong he won't get squished. However, can he lift it from the side and hold both ends evenly off the ground? Or will his muscles and bones stretch, tear, and break? Durability like Juggernaut's all but makes Juggernaut completely impervious to damage. Juggernaut can probably lift long heavy objects from a single side, without pressing it, because his durability probably affords him much greater tensile strength. So, really, the durability strength grants is really only for lifting, pressing, and pulling, and not necessarily what keeps Hulk on his feet when he get clocked by mjolnir. After all, there's not much muscle between the skin, the skull, and the brain. On the other hand, Hulk has had his hand injured by punching mjolnir.
As for "infinite". Stop being f*cking picky. It's clearly used in the sense that the word means Hulk's strength will grow continuously, without ever stopping, to unimaginable peaks, and then some. In comic terms, that means that Hulk could theoretically get strong enough to one-shot Thor, Thanos, Darkseid, Superman, Superboy Prime, Trion Juggernaut, fully-fed Galactus, all the Celestials, LT, and the writer of the comic. Now I know how that sounds, and I know very well it's unlikely he'll ever be allowed to reach such fun-crushing peaks, but by the definition of "infinite", Hulk can theoretically reach the level of strength to do this sh*t. Often enough, Hulk only ever gets just noticeably stronger than his enemies, as they obviously wouldn't want Hulk one-shotting everyone, but Hulk has to prove his catchphrase has some merit, or the character himself loses all merit.
