I see your way of thinking, and I would be content with your answer if we were talking about a character like Hyperion, or Beta Ray Bill, who clearly has a cap on how powerful they are, but it's not as simple when dealing with characters whose MO are to climb in power, as a power set. The Hulk gets stronger as he becomes excited, Betty becomes more powerful, as her opponents yield in terms of energy grows.
My interpretation of the events that occurred in The Incredible Hulks 634, are valid ones, and they at least explain Betty's ability to grow as powerful as she did without over heating.
Hey Stoic it really wasn't in reference to you AT ALL. I think you brought up a legit question and explained your reasoning. While I disagree that the writer would want the target audience to have to look THAT deep into things.. I see where your coming from. My comment was about the fact that gammatards have been wanking the crap out of that feat and forgetting the context surrounding it. Shit, it has made some believe he would beat Galactus among others.... So that is where my commnet came from was this damn feat being brought up or wanked.. not about your question/theory
It's a ****ing wishing well did you see all the shit that it make possible though-out that arc.
1.Bring some of Hulk greatest enemies to Las Vegas
2.Made two of them Giant and ridiculously amped.
3.Caused the destroyed planet in the dark dimension to restore itself and the inhabitants
4.Gave Foom the power to take over the world.
5.Trapped everyone in the dark dimension
6.Hulk even used a wished to restore both himself and the giant Betty to normal in the final issue.
All of that shit and you have a problem thinking that the well would not be able to give Betty what ever is necessary to make her Hulks equal
Edit: Sorry if I come off harsh but man it's a wishing well seriously.

But it still did not rewrite the way that their powers worked. You see what I mean? Again in the example that I brought up neither Wendigo or Bi-Beasts powers works like the Hulk's and Bettys.
It's the same thing Betty does not have the ability to amp Wendigo does not have the ability to grow yet the well made it possible for both of these things to happened.Hell I dont even know if it gave her tha ability to amp it could have just let her match him however strong he became it is a well that gives your watch you wish for you dont have to explain that shit it sound like a coop out but it's magic.
It does not matter if they powers were changed in a different way or not what matters was that they were changed.
I don't know why your trying to make this so hard your talking about a well than can make anything happen ANYTHING it does not have to adhered to any limitations that Betty may have or not have it just gives you results.
It rediculous nothing that well did before adhered to any rules or limitations it just gave you results but here you are not picking this particular event and saying that it has to.
Edit: anyway I am done I said all I have to on the matter.

Not to be facetious, but you're getting into fan wank territory (fan wank meaning wanting every detail to be laid out in intricate detail) with all of that brah. Fans of particular characters tend to obsess over every bit of minutia, but in all honestly Pak prolly never bothered to think about any of that.

Her powers growing dramatically where due to the accumulative negative wishes against Hulk which ultimately gave him what he desired and that was to not be able to hurt Betty no matter how angry he got which explain her constant growth in power to match his.
