K, thanks. Sounds like a substantial push, though it also sounds like it didn't add any new powers. What gave him this power?
Basically it was revealed in the comic that already he had the power (at least since the beginning of WWH) and he never used it because he always held back out of fear of killing innocents.
What made him decide to release the power was a wishing well.
He wished that he can relive the same moment over and over in the dark dimension. This allowed him to release himself willingly and 100% and become World Breaker and kill without remorse (since everyone will be brought back to life again).
Betty wished to become as powerful as Hulk. So when they collided in the air they were physical equals.
Now most here say that it was 100% of the kinetic energy of them colliding that disintegrated (yes) Wendigo, Bi-Beast, Fing Fang Foom, and a bunch of mindless ones while destroying the planet they were on. If this is the case then that makes WBH astronomically stronger than Savage Hulk. That is because him and Betty disintegrated MANY near equals from hundreds of yards away without even touching them while using only pure strength.
I (and maybe a few others) say that Hulk had some help with the gamma energies that was protruding from him and Betty in the disintegration of the others and the destruction of the planet. In other scene, before the final scene, it was shown that WBH was doing great damage to his surrounding just by him standing there and allowing the energies coming from him (mostly from his eyes) to do the damage. So when Betty and him collided not only did it convert great kinetic energy to both heat and shockwave energy but it released more of the gamma energies that was pouring from them right before they collided.
Now I can be wrong (only Pak knows the answer whether the gamma energies did a substantial part of the work). But if I'm not then either way WBH is still astronomically more powerful than your average Savage Hulk. From afar, he thunderclaped Fing Fang Foom (weighs several tons) a good distance away into Umar's indestructible barrier, cracking it. Umar is Dormannu's sister and equal, which they are seemingly omnipotent in their own realms.
To be honest, I'm super surprised you didn't close this thread due to spite. Not only did physical equals of average Savage Hulk couldn't phase him when they hit him in the face multiple times (we was seemingly invincible to ALL) but him and Betty freaking disintegrated them WITHOUT even touching them from hundreds of yards away.
