Rulk FTW, imo.at his highest, he knocked Uatu on his arse with a single punch, knocked out Grandmaster and was too fast for IronMan to even think about tagging.

he suddenly was way weaker (after he turned good) and then he was officially depowered.

Savage Hulk taught him that the angrier he got, the hotter he got, Savage Hulk exploited that, Ross didn't even know. Ross thought he could absorb current Hulk (Banner Hulk?) too, like he did with Savage, didn't workout at all. He thought he was stronger, that failed too. Ross beat Thor to a pulp so fast it's beyond saving. that kind of thing doesn't happen to Thor much, last instance I can recall is Trion Juggernaut.
current Hulk is, in my opinion, where Pak said WWH was, around Skyfather level, in terms of power. makes sense that he would have been sufficient to empower Rulk in the first place.

I think that reasonably trumps beating up Superman, Orion and the rest.

different Hulk, much more in control, much much stronger. can't really base it off of that.
Is it true that Rulk was officially depowered?
I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the comics. the only on-panel de-powering that I know of is when Galactus stripped the Power Cosmic from him. he only had that for a brief moment.
other than that, he's just been up and down, up when faced with powerful foes, down when dealing with street levellers and such. like Hulk is with Thor and Thing.

Mmmh... I think he mentions something in the issue where he fights Thing, he said he was weakened so even Thing was kicking his ast. It must have happened just before Fall of the Hulks, at some point where I stopped reading the Hulk comic book.

it's a bit confusing in that he states he was made from energy siphoned from WWH, but then on top of that, he siphoned energy from Uatu, Surfer, Thor and Savage Hulk (though he lost the Surfer energies) as he beat them...
by the time he faced off against Hulk again, Banner had all of the energies of the Hulked out Heroes as well as some of his own (returning him to WWH levels) and Rulk had whatever he'd originally gotten from WWH when the Intelligencia used the Cathexis ray to make him.
