The first thing one will notice about the beast is his incredible strength level. It is easy to classify Hulk as a 100-ton blockbuster based purely on what humanity normally considers the strongest metahumans to be. However, to limit Hulk to this is to invite disaster.
If the muscles within Hulk's body were considered a mineral, it would be one of the densest substances in the known universe. The gravitational pull alone would destroy everything in Hulk's path. The only reason he is able to stand on Earth's surface is because of the enormous amount of radiation counterbalancing the gravitons in a swirling mesh of molecular warfare. Because of this, even glancing blows from Hulk are considered to be just as powerful as if his entire fist had collided with his target.
Considering how dense Hulk's muscles are, his weight would be enough to make him sink right through the Earth's core. Again, this is negated because of the radioactive particles swarming around him. Though he is still heavy, relative to Earth's gravity he is roughly only about half a ton in weight. This protective "shield" of radiation is also part of one of Hulk's deadliest weapons. When he leaps through the air and lands on a target, the radiation takes about an attosecond to readjust. This means that his target is liable to feel as though they were just hit with a skyscraper rather than a mere 12-foot-tall monster. This truly monolithic shift in weight is temporary, allowing Hulk to leap from building to building and leaving only pockmarks in his wake; although the debris can carry for quite a distance.
Hulk is not only strong for carrying around his densely-packed frame, but also because of it. The beast is able to use his fists as either counterweights or a centrifuge, throwing his foes and hitting them for increasingly powerful amounts. The same can be applied to when he lifts something, as he can use his feet as counterweights and apply an equal force with his upper body, therefore lifting conceivably any amount possible.
(Still working on this; might make it a series instead of editing one blog constantly :P)
