On average the Hulk punches harder as he doesn't hold back as much. But in the history of comics, Superman has shown much greater feats in striking power.
Although the Hulk is the strongest there is in the Marvel Universe, Superman is by far the strongest in the DC Universe while also being aided by all his other abilities. Bruce Banner would have to contend with Kal-El's speed, flight, heat vision, freeze breath, and general invulnerability beyond his super-strength.
Since they both possess superhuman strength and speed, their fight might go on for days. However, according to Greg Pak — Marvel's writer, who worked on several comics featuring the Hulk, Superman would win their fight because of his virtues: “Superman, being who he is, will not just make his enemy angry.
The Flash's command of his powers allows him to perform what's come to be known as the 'Infinite Mass Punch' - a move that could take down Superman.
So out of DCEU Superman, MCU Hulk and MCU Thor who hits harder? The answer is Superman, nearly all of his hits create shockwaves while the others don't. And you can't just say it's a “design choice" like lots of people do. Because both Hulk and Thor have made shockwaves in the past but only then there going all out.
Zod, though, is even stronger than Superman because he has absorbed less of Earth's sun than Kal-El. Zod overpowers Superman from the first time that the two opponents face off. Superman's sheer grit is the only thing that ultimately allows him to emerge victorious.
Shazam is just one of many DC heroes the Hulk could defeat. Hulk hits hard and gets mad when he gets hit. That means he gets stronger. Shazam can take some shots, but even if he tries to get some separation or use his superspeed or flight, the Hulk is still extremely hard to hurt.
Once contact is made with whatever the Hulk is chasing, the force levels almost everything nearby. In one instance, the Hulk ran head first into a Trillion ton punch with the weight of several worlds behind it, and it only slowed him down for a single moment before he was back on the move.
While the Hulk's “baseline” level of strength only allows him to lift about 70 tons – a meager amount compared to Superman's lifting power – that level can quickly change as he gets angry… and he's usually furious.
Superman is not someone who is durable enough to boast such a feat. The Infinite Mass Punch uses the Flash's extreme velocity, barraging the opponents with punches so potent they could disintegrate on impact. And here's the thing – only one of those punches was able to knock Superman out.
There have been other heroes who have gotten ahead of him just with their smarts and careful planning. Obviously, big hitters like Sentry, Galactus, and even Superman have been able to withstand the emerald giant's assault.
The Hulk may be one of Marvel's strongest superheroes, but one of the most underrated members of the X-Men, Havok, can defeat him in one simple move. Cyclops' brother, Havok, is one of the few Marvel superheroes who can defeat the Hulk in a fair fight.
The amazing thing about the Hulk is that unlike nearly every other superhero ever created, the Hulk's strength has absolutely no upper limit. He can lift a commercial airplane – which weighs around 100 tons – when he is at his calmest; that's no problem for him.
Yes it could but you have to keep in mind that hulk is no longer just empowered with real gamma energy.
Fans know Spider-Man is strong, but Marvel confirms Peter Parker has the strength to not only survive a Hulk attack, but take him down too.
Warning: contains spoilers for Devil's Reign: Spider-Man #1! Marvel fans know that Spider-Man is a strong superhero, but the company has just confirmed that Peter Parker is strong enough to defeat the Incredible Hulk in a one-on-one brawl.
Weakness: ADAMANTIUM AND VIBRANIUM
Swords, knives, and more have been used against Hulk and almost none of them even leave a scratch or mark on him. However, with that said, there are two bladed weapons that can cut into Hulk's skin. Adamantium is something that can cause damage to Hulk.
His strength increased as more and more energy from an alternate universe was channeled into him, giving the Hulk greater power that could destroy the universe.
Well, it turns out Bruce has his cousin Jennifer “Jen” Walters to thank for helping to heal his arm back to its full strength following its injury during the final battle with Thanos.
The Incredible Hulk was for several times described as one of the physically most powerful beings in the entire Marvel Universe, with the potential for limitless levels of strength and durability (which scales directly with his strength).
In this story (by Stan Lee, Dick Ayers and Paul Reinman), the Hulk finally explains why he gets stronger as the fight goes on, because his strength is tied to his anger... And it's been that way ever since (well, I mean, you know, lots and lots of exceptions to that idea, but for the MOST part it still holds true).
While the MCU Hulk was not able to defeat Thanos, his comic book counterparts pose a better chance to make an even fight particularly if Thanos does not wield the Infinity Gauntlet. These two titans in the Marvel Universe seem destined to do battle in some form or another.
Both in comics and on the big screen, Hulk fans have seen the green Goliath face off against various gods on many, many occasions. The dozen-plus fights he's had with Thor in the comics almost inevitably end in some sort of a stalemate.
