Thanos vs Hulk

Well the first one destroyed not only the planet but a moon of it, which requires exponentially more power due to the inverse-square law.

The second was a gas giant planet, which are considerably larger and more massive than earth-like planets

yeah well, hulk shattered a planet through shockwaves generating from kinetic impact, and not with the planet itself mind you but against another character above the surface. this means that the initial impact that triggered it (slamming into she-hulk) makes hulk (and betty) more durable than a planet lol. they didn't seem bothered by it, heck, they seemingly did it again the next issue.

the thanos instance was awesome, too awesome for drax apparently, and if you add all of what betty and hulk did to each other it overshadows what drax couldn't withstand easily. the punches alone were incinerating characters (in 634 and in 635) as well as throwing their corpses back.

fallen one ignited the planet's core, so it's a little different

I would say anyone with herald level durability would be more durable than a planet.

Planets take a lot of oomph to destroy because they're so massive, not because of innate resiliency of their constituent materials.

when i mean more durable than a planet i meant the sum total of a planet's ability to take impact damage was exceeded by the hulk (and betty with hulk's power)

earth withstood the hypothesized impact that spawned the moon, the chicxulub ELE, and the largest explosion in recorded history: krakatoa and survived. the dark dimension planet seemingly has the same gravity as earth (steven strange and tyrannus moved about just fine) and was completely destroyed from an air blast.

each hulk/betty collision is greater than an earth sized planet-killing blow by unknown magnitudes, just like each step he takes in diet world-breaker mode threatens techtonic faults

NO! It was the gamma energy released from both Hulks that caused the destruction and not some silly air blast. The events leading up to the main event showed the energy pouring from Hulk, even damaging other beings and his surrounding. Right before Hulk collided, energy was pouring out even more so. So when they collided the energy in them came forth and destroyed everything. Even Betty disintegrated from the energy that was released from her.

Surfer has shown the amount of energy inside of himself to destroy a planet without touching it. He can direct that energy (Hulk can't) as a blast.

So Hulk's feat was equivalent to an uncontrolled AOE energy blast with some added kinetic energy from the collision. Since Betty did half the feat it is safe to say that Hulk didn't have to power to destroy a planet by his lonesome. Surfer does.

^ Betty didn't disintegrate.

Hulk can direct his gamma projection.

That's retarded.

[B]First of all, Gargoyle's transmutation abilities are totally superficial next to people like Surfer and Thanos. Resisting Gargoyle means absolutely nothing here.

I'm not sure that you can have "superficial transmutation". When you are turned to stone...you are made of stone. Thanos is hardly known as the king of transmutation either. Its a pretty big stretch to say that Hulk returning from what GG did to him is nothing compared to what "the king of matter manipulation" could do to him. It seems like he is getting a bit of a free ride in this department to me.

^ Huge free ride. Thanos' nearly non-existent matter manipulation would mean less than Thor's in a fight against Hulk, i.e., less than nothing.

And Hulk has other transmutation resistance feats anyway.

Hulk wins.

a barrier designed to withstand them collectively beating on it for who knows how long was broken by accident by non-super sayajin hulk 😉

Goom rocks! (even when it's just a duplicate)

I read that issue

Hulk has a chance to beat Thanos with his new incarnation the World Breaker.

Show me Thanos staying away in a fight.

You mean like when Surfer blasted him in two seperate occasions and he teleported out of the way both times and appeared some place else?

Thanos respects the Hulks power, based on him saying so in Thanos Quest book 1. As of issues 634 & 635, I'm sure many readers can see why.

Destroying a planet in a joint feat whats so great about that?

A joint feat? Well the feat is up for debate, because I believe that the Wishing Well gave Betty the ability to absorb whatever power the Hulk expelled, which kept them on or at the same level. The madder he got the stronger he became, and the more power that she was able to absorb in order to remain his equal. The Wishing Well did not re-write their respective powers, it merely allowed for her power to be as unlimited as his own.

In essence she used his power to do what we saw on panel.
