How much weight can the Hulk lift?

In terms of weightlifting, how much do you think he can bench press and deadlift? Who can lift more than him?

Less than Superman.

*popcorn gif*

I feel with chracters like hulk,superman,thor ect their strength is infinite beacuse if they need to do it for the plot they will, i dont think writers bother putting them in a class range

Characters like Hulk, Superman, Sentry, Thor, Gladiator, Juggernaut are pretty much as strong as they need to be for what the need to lift or be able to hit for the plot. They don't have a set strength on how much they can lift or how hard they can hit. Kind of like Batman, Batman is pretty much as prepared and ready with certain weapons as he needs to be for the foe he faces through the story.

@chillxpill:

A lot.

He did lift a 150 billion ton mountain, so...

As much as he needs to. He doesn't have a set limit.

@ariesxmasters: This.. is truth.

its infinite and no one is stronger

The Hulk could definitely bench press and deadlift a lot of weight but, due to his reliance on anger to enhance his strength, he would not be able to bench press, deadlift or squat as much weight as many other vastly super-humanly strong characters who are able to use correct power lifting competition form because they can use their full strength while maintaining their temper.

To out-bench many other top tier strongman of fiction, the Hulk would have to become quite enraged and in that state of rage his form would definitely breakdown causing his lifts to be disqualified.

A dimension up to this point

150 BILLION TONS TO BE PRECISE.

@lj_rkt: Note that he did it when he wasn't even that angry. He can lift far more than that

A lot

We all know the hulk is unlimited in strength so.. U should know dat any supervillan dat has unlimited strength can lift even the very planet he is standing on... When u talk about superman or thor their strength is limited... That tells not really much they can lift. ☺

hulk once held the planets tectonic plates together

I can 100% say his deadlift will be higher than his bench press.

The heaviest thing he can lift is your mom.

Hasn't he held a planets tectonic plates together or something like that?

Well, a dimension at this point, soo. . .

he's supported the weight of a star on his hands and knees and rose up....

@battle123axe: Isn't that like, extremely high end feat? I mean I like it and it is badass but you are going from planetary to star level from nowhere?

As for who can lift more than the Hulk, I can only think of All Star Superman and Kyle Rayner with the use of constructs. Superboy Prime as well.

@krleavenger: it did ask how much he could lift, so I brough the best feat possible to outline his limits without being rediculously angry.

why do you say all-star superman?

@battle123axe: I mentioned All Star Superman because he could lift like 200 quintillion tons which is multi planetary feat.

200 quintillion tons is not p;anetary. Earth weights 6000 quintillion tons.

@apex_pretador: Since when?

Since always

@apex_pretador: Not really, based on what I have found. I'm gonna check out other sources just to make sure.

Earth weights 6 x 10^24 kg

200 quintillion tons is 2 x 10^23 kg

@apex_pretador: I see. I think I confused it with tectonic plates (or something else).

@battle123axe: Why did you quote him? We already talked about this above ^^^^^^^^^^^^

@krleavenger: didn't see, skipped it. apologies.

@battle123axe: Don't worry about it.

150 billion tons

@adaptablekiller777: wouldnt that depend on how mad he is?

At least 100 pounds.

More than Superman

In Infinity (2013) Issue #6 when Proxima threw her sun-made spear (having the weight of a star) onto Hulk, he seemed to be sitting up fine until Corvus Glaive came along cutting him bringing him down to his knees:

Since Midnight says it was forged from a sun, giving it the weight of the Sun seems like a fair assumption. That being said the Sun weighs 1.9885×10³⁰ kg, and Hulk was able to hold that weight up rather comfortably as if it was his own bodyweight. Hulk's bodyweight is between 1,040 and 1,400 lbs, we can assume an average of 1,210 lbs; if the weight of a star plus his own bodyweight is like 1,210 lbs for him, and he can lift 10.6 (I'm assuming the highest strength-weight ratio for him as he's in the best shape possible) times his own weight relative to himself then his max strength (in that state of anger) would be...

(1.9885×10³⁰ kg + 1,210 lbs) ÷ 1210 lbs(10.6 × 1,210 lbs) = 2.10781 × 10³¹ kg or 10.6 solar masses.

The star feat is a ridiculous high-end feat for Hulk, tbh, regardless of his other PIS feats. Pulling up this feat for Hulk is like me using the back hole feat for Superman. It's a high-end feat that doesn't really gauge their consistent strenght levels.

Planetary to multi-planetary would at least set the ballpark for Hulk.

I don't think its a high end/outlier personally.

But I also don't think the hulk was holding it comfortably, because corvus just gave him a shallow nick to demonstrate the sharpness of his blade.

If Hulk has star-level strength due to that one feat, then Thor has star level strength due to 2 or 3 different feats. But neither of them are consistently above planetary strength. Now, MCU Thor on the other hand...

In the somewhat recent issues of avengers, hercules needed help to lift the planet earth, and it was stated on panel that he needed either jane or immortal hulks help to lift it. Sunspot ended up helping him lift it but what this feat does tell us is every one of these characters maximum weight they can lift on their own is half the weight of the planet earth. I think characters with flight and superspeed can probably lift more weight if they use those things to enhance their strength since holding a planet while standing grounded is different than pushing a planet while flying and using superspeed. that could explain why hyperion had a strength feat that appears much above planetary at first glance even though he is meant to be similar in strength to these guys. with superman and dc comics obviously they are more concerned with feats relative to marvel hence why those guys have measurable feats of strength well above planet level.
