It was stated on panel that Hercules was not quite as powerful as the Hulk, and that was before he shifted gears. Hercules was defeated soundly by the Masters of Evil, and when I say soundly, I mean put in a coma. The Hulk stood there and was blasted, slashed, and punched by a trio that would beat the hell out of the guys that put Herc in a coma, and he was not even budged by the attack.
In a setting that allows the Hulk the leeway to operate optimally without the chance of harming innocent lives, he would destroy these two without breaking a sweat. That's not being a fanboy but more to leaning towards on panel evidence.
