The only Hulk Rulk defeated was Savage Hulk. Savage Hulk and WWH have a different power level. WWH Hulk during his fight with Rulk even admitted he was at a different level of power. Rulk face Savage Hulk and killed him, when he faced WWH , he was nothing but a nuisance...got curbed. His most powerful punch while amped, that nuked the entire area did nothing at all to WWH while less punches killed Savage. You should know this stuff Quan.
Current Hulk is operating on a higher level than WWH which was stated a while back in a previous issue. Sentry temporarily burned him out and Sentry was carried to the hospital while Hulk went world breaker mode.
Thanos prepped against PG Thor and he did nothing physically to him to make me think he can take current Hulk who is crushing top tiers skull.
It might was said that Strange had the power but the sad thing is, he lost the fight with a couple of well placed punches.
You keep bringing up PG Thor and who he beat. Rulk beat Odin Force Thor, Surfer Dormammu, the Collector, and the list goes on but he still got curbed by WWH that was holding back.
WWH only lost is to Zeus and he wasn't operating at the levels that he is operating at now (still think Zeus would beat him though).
It erks me when you scream out stuff but don't think about what you are saying. You know as much as I do that there are different versions of Hulks and some are stronger than others.
If memory serves me to be correct in which it usually does Rulk only started burning out after the Thor fight against the Hulk so he was fully powered against Thor.
Hulk's power levels are always subject to change due to anger and what not. One victory over Rulk doesn't mean he can't beat Rulk and it wasn't a curb either. Hulk prevailed but didn't do so easily by any means. Just because Hulk wins you want to view it as he curbed someone.
If Hulk goes WB yes he does operate on a higher level but even on this higher level has no feats to suggest he's somehow on equal footing with Thanos. Nowhere near it. At best he becomes an elite top tier bordering on trans.
Hulk needed a specific event to channel his anger into WB mode so without that event taking place he would have remained a human. Pak's view of the Sentry is nowhere near as formidable or as powerful as bendis' or jenkins so even despite pak himself loving the hulk and the weaker version of his sentry was up to the task of equaling the ww hulk.
Thanos didn't prep he was teleported into a room with Thanos with no previous knowledge of him whatsoever. Thanos took repeated attacks and only ended up with a bloody nose. Hulk's taken more damage from far less than power gem Thor in less time than Thanos has against someone who crushed Strange who was far more than the ww hulk could ever hope to beat at his best according to pak's writing.
Strange lost because of his friendship and his vulnerability when he turned himself tangible. If Strange wanted to kill the Hulk he'd have done so easily. In a forum fight he doesn't try to talk the hulk down. This is a battleboard not some comic verse where friendships and plots are taken into account.
Rulk was beaten by odinforce Thor and he only had a portion of it and was also beaten by hulk. He went through a lot of noobish characters taken from their timestream not the same as theur personas now with the mountain of experience they have gotten along the way. The watcher didn't fight back and was taken by surprise.
WW Hulk burned himself out against pak's sentry. This is nowhere near Thanos' level.
It irks me when you spell things incorrectly and masquerade as someone who is my superior. You can't name a single Thanos showing to support your viewpoints of the Hulk winning so until that changes it's only a carver fantasy.
