@guttridgeb: @D3athstroke: Can someone tell me how much powerful is this version of Red Hulk ?
We dont really know how powerful he is because he only has 1 good feat, i.e. fighting Black Heart in his own realm (and beating him with a huge plot device, the mirror) , however if you are interested here's his only real feat in question
Venom 14 from the story arc, Circle of four

hes just not using it if i remember correctly
While his ability to absorb bio energy has been removed by Banner during Scorched Earth story arc (Hulk 25, 2010), he still retains the ability to absorb Gamma energy as it was later revealed during Hulk 41, i have uploaded the scan below, why he hasnt used it is well no clue.
Red Hulk with his energy sucking ability which he is not using because of cis now beats Hulk easily
This Red Hulk with Power of GR and Simbiote destroys WWH
Rulks energy sucking ability was taken away.

No, Banner took it away because it would have killed him.
Partial scan: in that same story a few pages later, on some island during an attack by a flame throwing monster, Hulk reveals that Banner lied to Ross and that the syphoning power is still there.

Fair enough. My friend gave me those scans, I didn't think to check the comic to validate them.
Logically, yes Circle Four Red Hulk should manhandle WWH. But by feats? He's only appeared once, but hanging with Blackheart at all is quite impressive, we can only hope he has further appearances down the line, because the concept is so over the top it's awesome.

Quite the contrary, him not being able to absorb bio energy has been re-iterated 2 other times after this instance. Once in the story immediately next to the story arc (i for one dont remember anything being stated about Banner lying on Hulk 25 but maybe i missed it, the issue from which you posted the scan).
It was also re-iterated on Hulk 41.
so as such i am more inclined to believe his ability to absorb bio energy is actually gone. I mean it would be odd if Banner managed to fool Red Hulk, Thor and Zero so easily.
@Killemall: I think Rulk can no longer absorb energy from anyone (like Thor) and is now limited to just Gamma energy absorbtion.
Yeah that what i mentioned on my first post :)
@TheAcidSkull: I remember this instance its from Omegex saga, and the bird was actually emitting gamma energy. His ability to absorb it is not yet taken away, although he might be stuck as Red Hulk forever and only applies to gamma energy. Also this isnt from the same issue the scans were posted but from 5 issues later.
@The Red Menace: but how the hell was that even possible?
The circle four removed the symbiont from Flash thompson and Zarathos from it's current host and gave them to Ross to fulfill their plans, making one of the most awesome fusions to have ever happened in comics. I honestly hope that Circle four rulk becomes a regular thing
I unfortunately have no scan machine, but I swear Rulk kept his energy absorption power. I can not say to which energies it applies exactly though. It was after the hulk and Rulk had to intervene in order to save the Abomination from some sort of strange parasite.
Red Hulk lost to hulk only because 99% of his energy was sucked to hulk out armies
World war hulk stomps rulk any day of the week, they fough in hulk 24, and hulk was mopping the floor with him, rulk was fine in their battle due to the fact that he consumed cosmic energy in hulk 23#

True. But didn't he say in the issue that if he did use it, he stay as either Rulk or Ross. So if he's in character he wouldn't use it.
If it is a blood lusted WWH then he wins quickly. He would just become worldbreaker and EASILY curbstomp Rulk (This is because if he is blood lusted that must mean he is already incredibly angry so it would only be a matter of time before he turns into worldbreaker). Even if he doesn't though Hulk still wins. Didn't he already beat Rulk in his savage form before?
