So slapping someone means that you can somehow replicate their lifting feats? Because like, it always takes someone AT LEAST as strong as you to do that, right? Not to mention how Professor Hulk could not grow in strength at all.

Their really the same guy, most writers mess up totally when taking on the Hulk, Peter David had a great run on the Hulk but ignored some history (most writers do) I think it's just an arms race to keep the Hulk at or above the up and coming bricks.
You see the Hulk's powers are really based on his personae, as no other Hulk gets stronger with rage, (not sure about Skaar and Rulk) due to the abuse that he received as a child. (Loeb is another writer that ignored the characters history).
Maestro and the Prof. Hulk in fact are the same guy, as is King Hulk, and the Hulk that braced the mountain. The only difference between them were their starting level of strength, but as the Beyonder's experiment revealed... all of these Hulk's are an infinite power.
Wait wait wait... Which Hulk held up the Mountain Range? IIRC it was Professor Hulk, so which hulk are people saying it was? Question Kris... If slapping around high heralds with lifting feats or smashing guys heads together and mocking their strength.. doesn't qualify as a strenghth feat.. then why did you mention Despero smashing Supes and Marvel together?

Slapping someone is not a way of showing physical superiority. Smashing the heads together however is much more impressive. Hulk from Secret Wars could grow in strength, unlike Professor Hulk. Professor Hulk stood still at 100 tons and was the weakest one since Savage Banner.
Come on buddy. So, your saying when Thanos slaps away drax, Hulk, Thing, Thor, Hercules etc etc like they are flies and beneath him, that doesn't show physical superiority? Show me anybody slapping away Thanos like a fly.. it doesn't happen. It seems very clear to me that when you show some using a mere slap (not amp punches) and it tosses people away, they are above said person. Especially when you have Thanos being shown to be above said people in other ways numerous times even sans the slapping. So, I'm unclear how you don't call that a sign of physical superiority when a mere slap is all he needs to do. When you see that in the movies or tv or wherever that is the writer clearly trying to illustrate the point that this person is well above the other.

She was referring to the end when she cleanly hit him with what shouldve been a deathblow. Yes, he was faking that. Essentially he was trying to trick her into lowering her guard so he could "clean her clock". Dont be so quick to takes things out of context. Also you are forgetting HIS own words when he said he couldnt lay a hand on her. OR the actual fight where she tagged him left and right.
