@theacidskull: I get that. My disagreement isn't that the hulk is stronger then thor under regular circumstances. If hulk is going to win a hand to hand brawl in this scenario he has to be more then twice as strong as thor. i don't think hulk has the showings or the feats to back up being that much stronger then thor. I have always felt hulks strength advantage on thor is noticeable but that they are comparable under regular circumstances (unless you want to talk about potential but I don't really think potential strength should hold that much weight). What has hulk done to say he is more then twice as strong as thor?
As for the effects of the time stream I would have to go back and read because I don't remember the details fully, but I don't really know how impressive that feat would be? How much force would the time stream be applying and how do we know thor couldn't do the same thing (I know hulk was chosen specifically for the mission but that could be just a statement)
To address your first point, there was an instance where hulk destroyed an android with double of thors power, but we can't really use that instance now can we? I remember a few instances where Hulk had proven to be thors superior in power at least. There was the Let the battles begin fight where Hulk managed to overpower thor, and then there was one fight where thor was forced to drop the hammer and fight hulk in H2H, which wasn't really concluded but thor was bruised up while hulk was absolutely fine. Look my point isn't that hulk will grap thor, slap him around and tie him into a nut or anything, it'll be a good fight as usual but a slug fest is Hulks area, his healing factor and durability is much more suited for blunt force. Not to mention recently hulk managed to stand toe to toe with Hyperion, who managed to hold two planets apart AS well as survive their explosion.
The details were as I remember that The time stream had been damaged, and hulk was called in to bet the Job done. The other hulks(such as red she Hulk) as mentioned was non-existent at the time, and banner himself has stated that sending hulk into a damaged time stream would be equivalent to using a chain-saw in a precise operation, long story short, sending anyone else, such as thor or hyperion would have been much more beneficial because unlike Hulk they wouldn't have to worry about shifting through personalities. So basically it was like sending a wild card into a sh*t storm.
And if That's not enough hulk had a better durability showing a few arcs back as I remember, Thor was thrown into ederdrum , a magical substance of absolute zero and was unable to come out on his own, then hulk jumped in and saved him. So here's a contrast.
I have the scans through, if you want. :)
