So Colossus or Wolverine can do it?
Note that they wouldn't actually require the same strength as Hulk.

though he fared far better than superman did, and hulk was at his weakest hulk stateall the tech did was simulate escape velocity, something hulk can do on his own now (for at least a decade) even red hulk can do it with ease as he did with thor, and then current hulk mopped the floor with him
when?
Originally posted by Existerereally? I find it unlikely. doenst the hulk weight only a few tons? and his durabilty aint that absurd either, it's HF that takes his damage soak to 11. I can accept that feat not be used as the writer didnt think all things through, but to me he seemed to desire it as a feat of strengh.

would an adamantium missile have the same effect if fired at it at the same speed?

I hope your not being serious here. I thought it was quite obvious that the feat was intended to be one of strength but due of the nature of it, it was also by extension a feat of durability.
Flying through Stars and such are almost always feats of durability and/or speed as far as I've seen. But because of their nature, they are to a lesser extent a feat of strength.
Comparing Superman moving a planet -which is quite clear a feat of power/strength by the writer- to flying through a Star in regards to strength is quite amusing.

Originally posted by MindsetIf someone gets the actual scans, we could answer that for sure- as I recall (and it was a while ago that I looked at those), he just had his arms out in front of him, Superman-flight style, and shot right through the asteroid.

It's classic, I don't mind golden-silver age comic coloring.
Either Hulk is super far away from the rubble (which would make no sense considering he just wrecked it and is moving through it) or those chunks are the size of houses.
That really is just a matter of perspective, as we don't know how long the harness actually was. In Hulk's case though, he is supposed to be surrounded by the chunks of rock he had just destroyed, and close to none of them seem to be bigger than mountain size. (many of them are closer to us than Hulk is, so we can somewhat accurately interpret their size)
Iirc, the only thing that makes that asteroid twice the size of earth is a scientist at the beginning of the issue saying he has "made the calculations" after watching it through a telescope - but at no point was it depicted as being that size, either before or after Hulk hit it.
It's not a pure strength feat, either way, so there's not much to it.
Originally posted by Omega Visionit's in the scan before that one, the asteroid is at least 1.5X the size of the earth (and apparently solid)
I hate bad art.Edit: Where's the part where it says the asteroid was 2x Earth? Because from that scan with the perspective there it looks to be the size of a small mountain.
Probably just bad art but I'd like some clarification 😛
