I don't think anyone can draw any sure conclusions about Norrin's strength. We know he's a class 100, but we don't have a clue as to how much he can amp etc. As is the case with most of these cosmic space based characters (Surfer, Nova, etc) he doesn't have the traditional lifting/strength feats of the booger eater crowd favs like Thor, Hulk, Supes etc.
Presumably he should be able to amp well past any of them since he draws his power from a superior source. But its all conjecture really.

IDK, Surfer was doing a great job in the gladiator arena during Planet Hulk. 😄 Until Hulk broke his control disk he was schooling Hulk and his Warbound simultaneously.
Surfer minus CIS is badass. He can amp himself and his durability is better than Hulk's. This Surfer KOs Hulk via left hook. The reserved, pacifist Surfer we're used to seeing gets his ass kicked.
I keep saying that, but for some reason people can't get past panels. The same shyte that led people to think current Hulk could physically overpower Skyfathers in h2h because Skyfathers don't have strength feats. As if for some reason they couldn't simply use their power to amp their strength lol.
I had hoped that the Hulk vs Zeus fight would put an end to this nonsense, but apparently it hasn't. Norrin simply outclasses Banner in every conceivable fashion. The same energy that he used to casually produce a blast that triggered a black hole is the same energy that he can convert into raw strength if he so chooses.
Best case scenario, the writer treats his invulnerability as something that the Hulk cannot overcome unless extremely angry. I doubt that would be the case today however.
Whatever, we'll see how the Surfer/Thor fight will pan out in March/April.

Let's not forget that Hulk was severely depowered as well.
As a matter of fact, Hulk went through the wormhole after Surfer, so he had less time to recover. On top of that, Hulk actually stayed conscious through the ordeal while Surfer was knocked out. Handled the wormhole better.
