[b]XXVII. HULK ABILITIESADAPTIVE EVOLUTION
Last but not least, the Hulk developed a variety of superpower abilities separate and distinct from his super strength. Having emerged from underwater, Banner discovers that his body can develop glands which produce an oxygenated perfluorocarbon emulsion that fills his lungs, equalizes pressure, permits him to breathe fluid, and avoids decompression and nitrogen narcosis. From Incredible Hulk vol.2 #77:

Hulk's body not only feeds on gamma radiation, it emits it. And Hulk's used it in defensive and offensive ways. Here, he "expends his almost limitless energy and power, [and] his temperature rises to an unimaginable degree," melting his icy prison in Incredible Hulk #5:

The amount of radiation he projects is so lethal, it instantly kills a handler who exposes his suit and even melts a containment unit that would smother a nuclear warhead:

He can even direct it as a powerful blast and decimate city-sized spaceships. From World War Hulk #5 and Incredible Hulks #632:

http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo326/OneDumbG0/Hulk%20Powers/HulkGammaProjection07.jpgSUPERNATURAL SENSES
One of the more bizarre powers Hulk has manifested is an ability to see supernatural forms. Dr. Strange notes, "Something in the Hulk's warped nature enables him to see and hear my astral self." From Marvel Feature #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo326/OneDumbG0/Hulk%20Powers/HulkSense02MarvelFeature1.jpgThese supernatural senses are revisited in Incredible Hulk #166 and 370:

http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo326/OneDumbG0/Hulk%20Powers/HulkSense06370.jpgIn fact, the Hulk is able to concentrate and communicate on the supernatural plane. This astounds Dr. Strange, "I've long known the giant's brutish brain was somehow strangely attuned to my mystic vibrations -- but, now for the first time, the Hulk's mind has called out to me," from Defenders #12:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo326/OneDumbG0/Hulk%20Powers/HulkSense04Defenders12.jpgThis ability may or may not be related to an apparently supernatural sense of direction. When separated from Banner, the Hulk is able to track him down no matter how far away he is. From Incredible Hulk #130:

Some almost mystical link." From Incredible Hulk #314 and revisited in Incredible Hulk #451 and 460:

In a comic Hulk would probably win. If Quasar fights smart, the way he did quite often in his own series, he should take a comfortable majority.
BFR to deep space, the middle of the sun, a black hole, or the QZ should be the easiest option. Gamma drain might work, or something along the lines of anti-gamma like the U-Foes used to defeat Hulk. Or use anti-gravitons to make Hulk float in the air. Or blind Hulk and make him cry.

Its already been stated. Hulk can jump. Quasar has no chance.
Depends. By "Extremely fast" what is meant is that Hulk does jump (with accuracy), fast enough to catch JoH, Surfer and any other herald, whilst they're in motion/attempting to evade him.
Also, if you want an idea of a lower bound, to his leaping speeds as Green Scar, just read Planet Hulk. He jumped from Sakaar to its moon, unaided.
That means he was faster than escape velocity on a planet where he was weakened. A planet that was twice the size of Earth and presumably had an increased gravitational force as a result.
His standing jumps are fast enough to catch out heralds, always have been. And his reaction speed, on-panel, is good enough to tag FTL attacks.
EDIT.
It makes perfect sense for Hulk to be a speedster, just that it's never been explicitly stated on-panel.
With the kinds of strength feats he has and the amount of energy he outputs, he should be able to propel himself, via leaps and jumps, at speeds approaching (and maybe exceeding) light.

Im just saying. Going "Hulk can jump" is kind of a lazy explanation.
He's much more than strength and he's versatile enough to counter most heralds without trouble.
Also, his durability, strength and hf are being grossly underrated when people put forward the notion that he would get overloaded by Quasar's attacks or that his ThunderClaps wouldn't affect Quasar etc ... It's much simpler just to leave it at "Hulk can jump".

The energy release is dope. But if its so powerful why was reed just laying there next to him. I don't see him winning fights with it unless they expand on its capabilities.
