A labor of love dedicated to all the fanboys of this legendary match up!!!
Enjoy!!!
Character » Thor appears in 8598 issues.
What an awesome piece of research. An obvious labor of love.
I, too, think Thor is overall the most powerful Marvel superhero and should, with his weapon and elemental powers combined with his own Hulk-level strength, always be able to defeat the Hulk. In strength alone, however, I rank Thor lower than the Hulk, Sentry, Hercules, Gladiator and the Juggernaut. If and/or when Thor battles these or any other characters of comparative strength, he often gives up his overall power advantage and chooses instead to battle using only strength, stamina, durability and skill to keep the battle fair as a manner of honor.

Thanks!!
I just signed up, found this, and can't believe it. It is sooo awesome.
I am a Marvel comics collector of over twenty years, I can put some sense to the debate between these two behemoths and through the eyes of not just a fan but also a thinker.... Mego_Stretch_Hulk!

I didn't read the whole thing, I just read the Ultimates Part, and there is a couple of mistakes there =P...
Dude, stop trolling. When you read an artie, to give a true account, you have to read it from start to end.
Also, if you are going to state errors, you have to cite them, or again, you are furthering your troll form. Being Ulik in real life is not cool...
@TheLeader: Trolling? Read the damn part!!!
If you have you read the Ultimates Volume 1 you would know what is wrong there, but if you insist
THE ULTIMATES #5 (2002)
After injecting the Super-Soldier serum into his veins, Bruce Banner turned into the Hulk, but not like the original Hulk. This Hulk is angrier, hungrier, and hornier then ever before. Now The Ultimates set out to find and stop this crazed beast. As The Hulk searches for his ex-girlfriend, Betty, The Ultimates attack! They have a huge battle all over the city with no hope of stopping this Hulk. Then comes the cavalry as a lighting storm pours down that throws The Hulk blocks away. The beast starts to gets up as Thor smashes into him, but it still doesn't stop the monster. The Hulk will then throw Thor down a few streets, only leading to Cap's next plan, which is to use Betty as bait that eventually works in calming down The Hulk and changes him back into Banner who Cap will kick in the face and knock him out cold.
That NEVER happened in the issue, Wasp was the one defeated Hulk, she went to Hulk's frontal lobes and turned him into Banner, then the Cap kicked him in the face, that was an important mistake, but that proves that the dude never read the issue, if he has a mistake like this in just a paragraph, maybe this guy need to read the issue intead copy and pasting something that he gor from a random webpage (I said random because he didn't posted the source).
If you ever call me TROLL again without proves I will flag you.
Wow. Very well thought out and very objectively written. Nice job!!
Very insightful for anyone who wants the real history of endless controversy over who is stronger (or more powerful). Stan did create Thor to be the strongest and most powerful. As mentioned, popularity and different writers/editors perspectives changed all that over time.
Sad. Thor WAS intented to be Stan's definitive answer to Superman (and one up to the Hulk).
have you considered writing up anything about the exchange they had in the Ultimate Comics: Ultimates #12? it was short and not a one on one fight, but it's still an encounter between the two
Thor's greatest feat of strength (from one of the weakest lifting positions according to body mechanics); lifting a constricted Midgard Serpent off of earth, requiring a total force of over 105.4 sextillion tons!
Hulk's greatest feat of strength, holding up (not lifting) a mountain weighing 150 billion tons.
Contest? Hardly.
Thor should win this easy,
