i've had this discussion too many times to go into it. it is a COMIC. lots of things get said and done for the sake of a story, or for the sake of a 'shock value' to make a point, but that doesn't mean common sense needs to be tossed out because some reference is made that MAKES no sense. this is really simple--you want to believe what was said in the text unquestionably, that is your choice. but don't expect me to leap to conclusions that invariably lead to even more nonsensical conclusions. i can see the forest without over-analyzing every tree while not losing any respect at all for the tree itself..... i'm not saying you're not free to believe what you'd like, i'm saying i can come to my own conclusions based on history, intent and the medium itself.
No they were plucked out of time. The ones that he fought were the ones that he saw as being a threat to him at one time. We did not see a nerfed down Bi-Beast, Wendigo, or Arm'Cheddon.
Now as for things being non sense to you, the feat was canon. The Hulk was also able to amplify his stats on a whim at that point in time. Hope was measured by technological means, and they weren't taken from opinion. There is a difference between hyperbolic statements made in awe, and statements made by technological means. You not believing it, or buying into it is on you, but your opinion on the matter does not somehow render the feat invalid. The Bi-Beast may be the class clown now, but the one that was placed in conflict with the Hulk once again was the one that he knew to be a threat. You even arguing about this leads me to believe that you are attempting to place the Hulk at this level on some basic top tiers level, while leaving out the fact that throughout the entire story line, he was stated to be more powerful than he has ever been. There are some very ridiculous feats attached to his previous incarnations alone for us to realize that the Green Scar was well above Hercules. 133.45 Herc's to be exact according to on panel proof.
