superman spent most his life under a yellow sun, zod spent two days or so. I would say that zod would probably lose as hulk would scare the crap out of him, picture yourself as movie zod, and you see some guy falling from the sky and hitting the street. followed by a big crack boom, followed by a monstrous roar, Zod would probably think to himself WTF WAS THAT??BLAH BLAH BLAH....... HULK SMASH hulk wins

I don't recall Zod flying that fast during the movie or his heat vision doing all that much damage.
He flew from the moon to Earth, from Metropolis to the North Pole within hours at the very most. It would have to be super sonic speed at the very least.
And What are you saying regarding his indestructability and firepower? That all the World's military just got scared and surrendered to him for no reason??!
The US President says in that movie, "Its no use. These people are so powerful NOTHING can stop them" (except Superman who he later cryed out for help to)

BTW, the Superman that he grappled with is the same one that had trouble with a city bus.
The Bus was thrown by 2 Kryptonians. Just more proof these Kryptonians were all at least 70% of Supes in strength.
Yes thats a PIS reason for him to have trouble with it. But we're not talking about the quality of the script here, and that was the reason.

That said, it taking two Kryptonians to throw a bus(which didn't move very fast or far) isn't impressing me in regards to their strength.
There was nothing suggesting they needed both Kryptonians to lift the Bus.. Both of them threw it at Supes just to get double power into the throw (Superman had already proven he was more powerful than any one of the Kryptonians individually)..
As for the speed of the bus, it was just limited to the special effects of the day and getting the film made within a certain budget (back in the early 80's). Of course it would look different if remade today.

Limited special effects or not, that is how fast the bus was shown, therefore that it how fast they threw it. which means it taking two Kryptonians makes their strength seem less than impressive.

I guess Superman punching Non many miles away with swinging his fists with only human speed means that Superman isn't really strong either. 🙄
It was clear that the makers of the film wasn't using real physics in ANY way. They were more focused on the story. Superman got koed by a gas station in comics (after surviving Nuclear blasts before that incident).
Lastly, Zod is magnitudes more durable than anything the class 10 Norton's Hulk could diss out. I mean no military weapon could do anything to him but make noise. He couldn't even feel the weapons for crying out loud. The tank shells, aircraft bombs and artillery shells either bounced off him with ease or they disintegrated to dust when striking him. A more powerful Hulk (the first movie) almost got killed by getting struck with a tank's shell. Luckily he used the hatch door as a shield to blunt most of the blow of the shell. Norton's Hulk which is weaker, got ripped up by a lightning strike and wasn't able to heal. Norton's Hulk didn't even have much of a healing factor (if any).
Just wanted to point out that the bus incident was PIS. Supes wanted to give Zod and crew the impression that he was defeated for the sake of not harming the innocent people. The whole time Supes was fighting, he had to look out for the people at the same time.
What better way to defeat this team than to get out of the city and let Luthor lead them to the FOS where he had some key tricks up his sleeve.

Laugh all you want, we know how much a bus weighs and we can see how fast it was thrown, that it took two Kryptonians says a lot about their stregnth level.

You can rip 80's filmmaking all you want, but you've yet to mention how Hulk's incredibly low movie feats will hurt Zod.
