Hulk has the strength to rip the armor off. And I wouldn't even be surprised, if he survived what followed.
I feel like the Monarch explosion often gets taken out of context... People talk about a universal explosion, and while that explosion certainly was impressive and caused a lot of damage, it didn't eradicate the entire universe in an instant. That would be a whole another level of power. Instead that explosion set off a chain reaction. A wave of destructive energy, which expanded and destroyed everything in its path.
So the only argument you can make is that Hulk wouldn't survive the ground zero of that explosion. Which I somewhat doubt considering the cosmic damage weaker versions of the Hulk have tanked in the past. During the fight between Monarch and Prime, Monarch set off an explosion, which was referred to as a nuke. Certainly powerful, but not something, which would put down this Hulk for good.
I can now make the argument that Monarch exploding would set off the same nuke again, but that over and over again in an expanding way. And you can make the argument that Monarchs true explosion ended up being much, much, much, much, much more powerful than the explosion he attacked Prime with the first time. I still feel like both cases involve speculation, which can't be backed up by stuff in the comics.
If you think that the starting explosion, which set off the chain reaction, is on the same level as the explosion, which Prime survived at the beginning and said that it hurt him... then Hulk survives that, and everything else that follows, because it will be expanding past him. If you think that the starting explosion was much more powerful than that, then you have to explain how powerful it was and why World Breaker Hulk wouldn't have been able to tank it.
Originally posted by EnzeruNo, The comic explicitly stated Monarch power is like The Big Bang itself which is corresponding to the later scans, We clearly see Monarch's energies erasing entire universe
