SUPERMAN no question about it

" Hulk couldn't hope to lift as much at the start. It would take a long time, but eventually if something was making him mad enough he could lift as much as Superman and perhaps surpass him in that category.  Short answer: Superman  Long answer: Superman, but with a "but" "

Only in Hulk fanboys wet dreams.

Superman starts off stronger but Hulk as a limitless factor that the madder he gets the stronger he becomes. In practical use Superman is stronger but theoretically Hulk can surpass him.

The answer to that question is like the answer to how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop...the world may never know.

" The answer to that question is like the answer to how many licks it takes to get to the center of the world. "

Superman is stronger.  
If Hulk ever got stronger then Superman through anger. 
Superman could either A) Sundip and become even stronger than the Hulk.  B.) Throw Hulk's big green butt out of orbit.  

  
 
Almost everyone is using this in a context of a fight, but since strength is never the only factor of who wins it's pointless. They should arm-wrestle or do a strong man competition to find out. The planet-pull, mountain tossing, Tug of War... that sort of thing. Drop a few two ton weights on Hulk's toes a few minutes before to make it even.

you people seem to be forgetting hulks regeneration is far far far above supermans..and superman has been killed by doomsday...even if he's stronger now it's not as clear cut as you think.
 
That said overall I think Superman has the advantage..but it depends on which superman we're talking about..his power levels have fluctuated worse then Hulks over the years.
 
Fact is an all-out brawl between Superman and Hulk would DESTROY PLANETS.
 
Frankly it would probably end up in space...and I doubt Hulks regeneration..as great as it is...is enough to keep him alive for long when Superman transplants him in a sun or blackhole.

" Nope.   No matter how angry he gets the Hulk will never match, let alone surpass, Superman's strength.   It's just no possible to become angry enough. "

i think super would win that one, i mean the hulk only as a chance if he is totally mad but super would try to make the fight last as little as possible!

No, not even close....it would take 100 Hulks to get anywhere near Superman at full potential...

Thank you! People often state that Hulk has limitless strength, but there is a limit to how angry you can get. So many people seem to overlook that. "

but how can you prove the ratio of Anger to Power. it's a fictional character with a fictional powerset. so how is anyone saying definite things like this? "

 
How someone can say something definite like this is because they/we/I believe what we state based on what we've seen, read and experienced.   
This site is about fictional characters.  Those of us who come here and post are fans of and passionate about these characters.   
We've often spent years reading/watching the stories they're in, so we feel know them.  In the end most of what is discussed here comes down to a matter of opinion.   
 
So I guess since nothing can ever be proven as definite regarding these characters and their ever changing/developing/redefined/retconned powers and abilities, nobody should ever 
make any assessment whatsoever.

Nope

if he gets angry he gets more powerful

Superman would smash puny green man

the madder he gets the stronger he gets so its a yes an no. superman and hulk have gone 1on1 twice each winning one. its the same for lifting things. hulk took on all of marvel and he beat the living hell out of almost everyone.

Superman could easily defeat Hulk

I might need to remind you that Hulk isnt the one who showed strength as the madder he get the stronger he gets this has been happening long ago in superman comics as well. First off if superman is Angry or blood lust hulk is not winning in strength before or after he get blood lust. Second when things need to down superman get more powerful.. We all know by now superman doesnt only draw energy from the yellow sun. its is his primary source of power but he draws energy from many things around him. The general Zod and superman fight alone should prove that Strength wise he has been holding back yes he is still stronger than HULK any day.

Superman, Supergirl, Power Girl and Super Boy all can beat Hulk. It helps that they have the Sun to keep them energized for hours and hours without slowing down. Also note that Superman often holds back in he's fights because he's too strong and could easily kill he's opponent.

now this a funny post

" now this a funny post "

hulk of course his the strongest there is!!!!!!!!!!!!

super man will die easly.

I don't know if either character has strength that can be measured in our terms. That is a question that can't be really answered fairly. It should be a question of can Superman defeat the Hulk? I can see that being more reasonable.

Superman

Like I've posted on previous threads like this before, potentially the Hulk is stronger than Superman as his strength increases with rage. WWH showed the Hulk's strength level at an unfathamoble level than ever seen before in superheroes. Superman starts off stronger but if the fight were to drag on, Hulk would get stronger and maybe overpower Supes. However, if you're talking about overall power then Supes has superspeed, heat vision, super breath, flight among other sensory powers so he would win in a fight between the 2 as he brings more than equal strength to the table.

If you compare what they've done with strength in their entire existence, it's clear that Superman is stronger. 

Nope.
BB

Unfortunately yes. =( 
 
Hulk is the strongest there is, poor Superman. 

All an All, Superman 1000000 is the strongest superhero i have ever read about. 
The strongest Hulk that i know of is the one at the end of WWH. 
 
In a regular state without all the boosts they both got, I think Sup' will be the winner.

PreFlashpoint Supes

PostFlashpoint Hulk

Even though Superman #1 Superman is stronger then Action Comics #1Superman he still isn't as strong as PreFlashpoint Superman.

hell no

With what Hulk is showing as of late (tearing aplanet with brute force.. WTF!), I wouldn't mind saying he's stronger than Pre-Flashpoint Supes. But I'm certain any Hulk is stronger than AC1 Supes (both in the 1938  and the 2011 versions.. :D)
