Who is the hardest puncher in comics (on average)?
Only characters who have punched over 10 opponents on-panel are eligible.

Am I the only one that thinks a punch at maybe x10 the speed of light from someone like Surfer would be > a Hulk punch, regardless of his strength? Velocity is an important component of total force.
Standing still, I agree that it's probably Hulk. Maybe someone like Thanos, Mangog, Despero, SBP, etc. Excluding the abstracts, of course.

yuck, i hate that word.
how does it even work exactly? objects at 99% lightspeed gain "infinite mass", but since the speed force allows that, shouldn't the "for every action, there is an opposite and equal re-action" law come into play?
i mean, he makes contact with the object he intends to hit but only the object receives the kinetic energy transfer? wtf?
way to cherry pick dc

dood, you know better than to expect actual physics to be applied in comics

There would be different degrees of punching power, and a whole lot would do with the speed of the punch (like Digi mentioned above) the solidity of the punch would also have to be factored in as well.
Superman, and Juggernaut would have a similar punch, if measured in pounds per square foot, because of how tough their body armor is, as compared to someone with less body armor like let's say the Hulk.
Where Superman trumps Juggernaut is in the velocity department Jugernaut's mystic nature should make up for his lack of speed though but this is arguable.
The Hulks thing, is that rarely does he deliver the same strength punch, because he is never the same strength level.
I'm going with guys like, Superman, Sentry, Gladiator for this one, because although the Hulk has surpassed them and can surpass them on any given day, we have to go with the median (average) as this thread asked.
Superman ftw.

I am not sure why people are saying Superman when we have a Kryptonian running around who is everything he is and more...
Superman Prime and Trion Juggernaut I guess

Juggernaut would rank up there. At classic levels he collapsed a mountain from punching a guy in the face. (8th Day) and the aforementioned Trion Juggernaut punching through dimensional barriers.

On average it's likely Hulk or Superman.
Best individual hits probably are from someone like Surfer or Flash.

Speedforce compensates for all those little problems.
