How does that make any sense when the Hulk continued to grow in power? The Hulk does not have a static level. Did you forget that? If Betty was placed at his level, she would have stayed at a particular level on the power grid, but as we all saw, she continued to grow more powerful to match the Hulks power output.

Nah, Betty was amped to Hulk's exact equal by a wishing well.

I wouldn't put too much thought into it as it was a magic wish. I doubt the intent of the wish was to have the readers scrutinize it with "well, she was wished to be his equal, BUT she doesn't amp like Hulk, so no, she wasn't his equal not really, even though Hulk wished for her to be his exact equal."Makes more sense to believe they were equal through and through than to think the wish made her kinda only equal to Hulk until Hulk got more mad or anything like that.
I see your way of thinking, and I would be content with your answer if we were talking about a character like Hyperion, or Beta Ray Bill, who clearly has a cap on how powerful they are, but it's not as simple when dealing with characters whose MO are to climb in power, as a power set. The Hulk gets stronger as he becomes excited, Betty becomes more powerful, as her opponents yield in terms of energy grows.
My interpretation of the events that occurred in The Incredible Hulks 634, are valid ones, and they at least explain Betty's ability to grow as powerful as she did without over heating.
Some readers weren't too happy with the Hulk getting beaten up by Zeus. Any comments about that battle?I think it’s important for every character to have a limit. That was a story about the Hulk going too far. No matter how strong you are, even if you’re the strongest mortal on the planet, you can’t force the hand of God.On another level, that story was all about the Hulk going for a shortcut. He wanted

Explain why you would say something as ridiculous as this.
I gave a perfectly good reason for my beliefs, and explained how the characters powers worked in general.
Who believes that The Wishing Well gave Betty the exact same Gamma powers as the Hulk? We all know how the Red Hulks powers operate.
Hey Stoic it really wasn't in reference to you AT ALL. I think you brought up a legit question and explained your reasoning. While I disagree that the writer would want the target audience to have to look THAT deep into things.. I see where your coming from. My comment was about the fact that gammatards have been wanking the crap out of that feat and forgetting the context surrounding it. Shit, it has made some believe he would beat Galactus among others.... So that is where my commnet came from was this damn feat being brought up or wanked.. not about your question/theory

It's a ****ing wishing well did you see all the shit that it make possible though-out that arc.
1.Bring some of Hulk greatest enemies to Las Vegas
2.Made two of them Giant and ridiculously amped.
3.Caused the destroyed planet in the dark dimension to restore itself and the inhabitants
4.Gave Foom the power to take over the world.
5.Trapped everyone in the dark dimension
6.Hulk even used a wished to restore both himself and the giant Betty to normal in the final issue.
All of that shit and you have a problem thinking that the well would not be able to give Betty what ever is necessary to make her Hulks equal
Edit: Sorry if I come off harsh but man it's a wishing well seriously.

But it did not rewrite their powers.

But it still did not rewrite the way that their powers worked. You see what I mean? Again in the example that I brought up neither Wendigo or Bi-Beasts powers works like the Hulk's and Bettys.

It's the same thing Betty does not have the ability to amp Wendigo does not have the ability to grow yet the well made it possible for both of these things to happened.Hell I dont even know if it gave her tha ability to amp it could have just let her match him however strong he became it is a well that gives your watch you wish for you dont have to explain that shit it sound like a coop out but it's magic.
It does not matter if they powers were changed in a different way or not what matters was that they were changed.
I don't know why your trying to make this so hard your talking about a well than can make anything happen ANYTHING it does not have to adhered to any limitations that Betty may have or not have it just gives you results.
It rediculous nothing that well did before adhered to any rules or limitations it just gave you results but here you are not picking this particular event and saying that it has to.
Edit: anyway I am done I said all I have to on the matter.
@stoic,
Not to be facetious, but you're getting into fan wank territory (fan wank meaning wanting every detail to be laid out in intricate detail) with all of that brah. Fans of particular characters tend to obsess over every bit of minutia, but in all honestly Pak prolly never bothered to think about any of that.
