WWH loses.
World Breaker Hulk wins ( RedHulk's power is World Breaker's power)

it would make some sense if a large slice of Hulk's psyche/powers did end up separated from him, after all how else to explain the return of Savage Hulk?
As I said on a previous thread, Rulk is basically Marvel Ltd trying to ape the Emoprime storyline.
A 'super' version of a super character (in this case Hulk, in that case Superman) comes and just goes through everything like a hot knife through butter.
The major difference is that Emoprime (even with all his crying) was actually very well written, and his power sets logically allow him to do the feats he was doing (he was basically operating a pre-Crisis lite levels). Rulk, on the other hand, is supposed to be a super-Hulk who we are supposed to accept can pound on even characters like Uatu and Thor.
One was a well written comic showing what would happen if a crazed freak that happens to have more powers than most heroes combined ran amok. Also, the power set possessed by Emoprime would allow him to LOGICALLY be able to do most (not all, but most) of the feats he did ....add the guardian amp and that takes care of most of the outliers.
The other is a thoroughly ridiculous comic that shows what would happen if a character that already has a mass of fanboys was given the wetdream treatment by the parent company, and in the process we end up with the Red Hulk. Simply a way of Marvel to amp sales, although in the process of increasing short-term sales they are actually diluting the long-term brand equity of the comic. Unless a really GREAT explanation is given of the Rulk, you can rest assured that Marvel just messed up the Hulk series (think of how many characters have been discredited .....and not just in sales, even in KMC battles. For instance, anyone who brings up Wonderwoman vs Wendigo ...all I need to do is show a scan of a Wendigo being beheaded! Someone brings up Flash vs the Hulk, all I need to do is show how the Hulk was in jeopardy of getting SHOT WITH A GUN, and then asking how he could survive an IMP. Someone brings up Thor vs .....well, you catch my drift).
Marvel better have a SUPER explanation for Rulk, otherwise they just messed up a character (similar to what they did to Wolverine, whereby currently only rabid fanboys are for the character).
I used to blame Loeb for this, as recently as yesterday. However, I now think the blame is Marvel Ltd's. After all, they hold the final veto on their characters, and it is not as if Loeb can just go and write anything. A writer's job in ANY comic book company is very perilous, and they are always in fear of getting cut out. Thus Loeb cannot have come up with Rulk without the blessing of the parent company.
Thus, it is not fair to blame Loeb (even though I did) ....the real villain here is Marvel Ltd.
In a bid to make a quick buck they have began to dilute brand equity left right and center!
Anyways, Loeb has done a lot of bad stuff (as well as a lot of great stuff ....the work he has done on Batman for example is pure genius), but I think the real villain here is Marvel Ltd. After all, Loeb is 'just' a writer .....he cannot go and do something without approval for the big guns.
Anyways, Rulk wins ......a the rate things are going, the Rulk is the real TOAA in Marvel.
Better hope the infection does not pass to DC and Image.
I like that Rulk is physically so powerful that can beat characters that are more versatile, but of course are not that powerful, none of their powers are up there with his physical strength. With all the powers they have, they cannot hurt him. He is so strong.
Next I would like to see him crush Silver Surfer. To see how Silver Surfer would want to use his versatility to defeat him. Of course would fail because any of his powers are not enough to defeat Rulk (except if he could drain him like Hulk, but I think Rulk has too much power for that, for Silver Surfer or would avoid him with his speed. Wow, I like saying that Earth character is clearly more powerful than Silver Surfer, because I don't like to count such ridiculous level as SW, MJJ, JB, FR or WPOTC) and then how Rulk would destroy him.
But I wouldn't like to see him at a level of such as FP Tyrant and so on... because they are already ridiculous level and in my opinion far above upper skyfather level.

Beyonder said he had unlimited Power and coming from somebody of his feats and abilities should hold some kind of merit. He's the Gamma God the Jade/Crimson Giant the strongest one their is and nobody can beat him.
