There's a very serious flaw in this line of reasoning. Especially since most elite bricks haven't shown real concrete limits to their strength and have overcome past levels in times of stress. There's Hulk and then there's Superman. Hulk has legitimate potential for nigh limitless strength, true dynamic power, it's a different animal then Superman, Thor and most other beings.
As a matter of fact, Clark has shown actual limitations to his physical strength in situations where Hulk has historically and would most likely triumph.
Also, are you assuming that the book Clark and Billy lifted had infinite weight because it had infinite pages? Not only did it not truly have infinite pages (Ultraman read to the end of the book IIRC), trying to apply the more basic laws of physics to something that so clearly defies them is pretty suspect. I get that it was ridiculously heavy, but saying it had infinite in mass or weight needs to be substantiated. Especially since in that same comic, Clark also showed a very real and more quantifiable limit to his strength:

I mean, it's a cool feat, but arguing that this is evidence Superman has the same type of strength as Hulk is ridiculous:

Doesn't help that the book has some kind of self propelled flotation bubble. Not sure why no one brings that up. 😬
Anyways, sick to death of discussing feats in greater detail and I'm not going to pretend I know for certain what Morrison's true intentions were (Dude's probably on shrooms when writing half his work). I just wanted to say my piece.
