As a matter of fact, for all we know, the parts of the Dark Dimension that the Hulk interacted with, may have been of such a nature that the actions taken by Hulk were even more astronomical than Hulk fans are even stating. Maybe that planet was as dense as a brown star and maybe that region of the dd actually drained gamma from the Hulk, in which case, his feats are more incredible than ever.
Show me evidence that the Dark Dimension's durability itself is directly tied to the Mindless Ones' durability.

But, then again, maybe that planet was made out of spongecake and maybe that region of the dd was actually THE focal point of all gamma energy in the multiverse.My point is, we don't know. And, there is no way to nail down the properties of the region of the Dark Dimension that the Hulk fought within.
So you're speculating without any evidence, whatsoever? Presenting absolutely no evidence doesn't serve to produce doubt. It's one thing to make a mountain out of a molehill, but you're trying to make something out of nothing.

It's not one way or another based on absolutely no evidence. Where do you even get that from? You having no evidence other than irrelevant low feats from Mindless Ones doesn't change anything. If you really were trying to be fair, you'd have to equally consider the irrelevant high feats from the Mindless Ones. But you're not even doing that. This is a layer of hypocrisy on top of the unsubstantiated doubt you're trying to cast here.
And Umar was having trouble with an entire race of Mindless Ones in that very same comic.

Also, I have posted before that I am and have been of the opinion that the Hulk's powers are not strictly physical and very often, he is moving outside the realm of strength and into areas of energy and matter manipulation. Possibly even a form of reality warping as well.I don't subscribe to all of his feats being a matter of strength.
This... this doesn't have anything to do with the Mindless Ones somehow being used to downgrade the durability of a planet that was busted.
Why don't you look at the actual story arc and find evidence that the materials in the Dark Dimension were fluffier than in the normal universe? Do you remember Red She-Hulk using a sword she found and giving WWH a huge gash? Or Arm'Chedon, Bi-Beast and Wendigo being restrained by chains in Umar's kingdom? I don't think swords/chains that are made of "Dark Dimension fluff" would do that. Granted, we shouldn't have to prove the negative here, but the notion might be so patently absurd that we're able to do so unequivocally.
