Hulk Smash!
TIH #177: Smashes a military installation that was designed to support an explosion of "several thousand megatons" with one blow! Most nukes are only a dozen or so megatons.
(Contributed by John Cimino)
TIH #242: Hulk's range causes his strength to increase to unseen limits until he is capable of breaking the pit where the Flame of Life is contained.
Additional text contributed by Russell Brisson: The pit is a deviant machine built to defeat the Celestials on thier next visit. Narration states: "He just pulls all the more, straining with every iota of his strength to rip free this infernal object...becmoming madder and madder, his strength BUILDING with his anger, as he tugs against a device built to withstand the power of gods (celestials)! But this is the power of the Hulk! AND ULTIMATLEY, THERE IS NO FORCE STRONGER THAN THE HULK!".
TIH #266: Hulk breaks the seemingly unbreakable armor of the High Evolutionary who wanted to die and let Jade Jaws bang on his armor.

Marvel Universe Onslaught: The fight with Onslaught. Onslaught was generating a psionic storm. None of the heroes had the strength to even get close to Onslaught, including Thor and Ironman who was being aided by Joseph. The Hulk however appeared to be on a totally different powerscale as he could not only advance against the strom, but continue the fight as if the storm had no effect on him.
The Hulk proves to be able to overpower Onslaught and smash him with but a blow, after reaching insane anger levels. Onslaught had previously beat Juggernaut to the point of death. and in between his fights with Juggernaut and the Hulk Onslaught recieved 2 powerups. After one of which he stated "I have become even more powerful than my wildest imaginations". The Onslaught shell Hulk destroyed was far more powerful than the version that nearly killed the Juggernaut. Also Juggernaut has taken Thors godly essence blast without harm. Just to show Juggernauts power. Also in that same comic the Hulk was battling in the face of a psionic storm that was keeping Thor at bay. Thor lacked the strength to even approach the site of the battle. Hulk stood agianst the storm unphazed by its repelling power.

Marvel Comics Presents #52: With the help of some gadgets that enhance his jumping the Gray Hulk is able to leap into space to smash an asteroid greater than twice the mass of the Earth.

Annual #1: The Hulk shatters a force field that can only be penetrated by Black Bolt's sonic scream. (Contributed by John Cimino)
TIH #198: Hulk is trapped by the Elder of the Universe known as the Collector. The collector states : "Your trapped in the most powerful forcefield at my disposal, so if your inclined to smash at something, try smashing THAT!! The Hulk begins to pound away at the shield. Narration then states :"At first the man brutes massive fists prove ineffectual against the shimmering energy sheild--but that does not deter him--for the madder Hulk gets--the stronger Hulk gets-- and as anyone who has ever met the green goliath can tell you--HIs RAGE--And his POWER--ARE BOUNDLESS!!".

The Defenders Vol.2 #8: The Kree employ a technology that repels your own power against you. Each of the Defenders are trapped in a force shield comprised and powerred by this energy. Dr. Strange, Silver Surfer, and Namor all pass out attempting to break free of the force barrier. Hulk with his ever increasing strength is the only one that is able to break the barrier.
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
The Order #4: The Hulk shows sufficient strength to break out of the Silver Surfers force barrier. The Silver surfer has CASUALLY created barriers that can allow normaly humans to withstand black hole level gravity. Surfer was fully concentrating on containing the Hulk and failed due to the Hulks ever increasing anger/strength.

Marvel Fanfare Vol.1 #7: Hulk totally dissipates Unus' forcefield with one punch. (Contributed by John Cimino)
Secret Wars #12: Hulk cracks Ultron (who is made of pure adamantium) with a single punch. Not even Thor's hammer could do this as in Secret Wars #4, Thor #383, Avengers #66, #162, #171, #202. (Contributed by John Cimino)

Hulk's Strength Is Limitless?
Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe 1986: "To date the Hulk has never been provoked to demonstrating the maximum output of his strength. Hench, it may have no upperlimit."
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
Marvel the RPG game (1998): Hulk potential strength is listed at limitless. Guys like Thor, Juggernaut are 19s. Destroyer armor is 24. Drax starts at 20 but can go 25 at max (with powergem). Celestials and Galactus are listed at 30s. Hulk is the only character whose strength can potentially go beyond 30 (he starts at 19).
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
Thor #385: Thor states: "Is there no limit to the beast's strength?". The Thunder God says this while lying beaten and bloody on the ground.
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
Annual 2001: Thor states that the Hulk may well be stronger than any foe he has ever faced (includes Mangog? Destroyer?)And because of his strength he would have to use other methods of attack. This is stated just after the Hulk had beaten Thor motionless in 3 blows.
Thor also, "straining every asgardian muscle" is only able to stalemate Vector, The Hulk has overcome Vectors powers on at least 2 occasions.
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
TIH #205: The Crypto Man incident. Crypto Man started with equal to Thors strength. he and Hulk exchanged blows evenly at length. However when the Crypto Man accidentally kills Jarella, The Hulk goes off the deep end. Crypto Mans creator then poors even more power into the Crypto Man, "enough to devastate a planet if need be" in an attempt to compensate for the Hulks increasing strength. However that utterley proves futile as the Hulk destroys him in 3 blows.

TIH #225: Hulk is fighitng the Leader who is wielding his kenitictronic gloves. They deflect the all kenetic energy used against them back at thier foe. Hulk eventuals grows strong enough to overcome the gloves (or his own power) (3 minutes). Narration states: "Unfortunatley the Leader has forgotten a well kown fact: The madder the Hulk gets, the stronger the Hulk gets! And when it comes to anger the Hulk knows no limits!!".
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
TIH #270: Hulk fights the Abomination who has more than 2 times Hulks initial strength. After initially being overwhelmed the Hulk comes back to soundly defeat him. he beat the Abomination so badly that the Abomination developed a great fear and dread of the Hulk. Hulk also goes on to state "it wouldn't matter if you were 10 times madder, all Hulk would have to do is get 10 times stronger".
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
TIH #308: Hulk vs the Ngarai demon in the crossroads of infinity: The demon was gutting the Hulk, and the narrator stated that the Hulk had to remain enraged just to survive the encounter, much less defeat him. The demon was owning the Hulk severly. HOwever after noticing that his only friend was gone, the Hulk assumes that the demon had killed him. And at that point goes bezerk over the edge. The demon is then beaten unconcious in blows.
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
TIH #322: Doc Samson states: "Usually his rage makes him infinitley strong--But not this time. he hit a limit..maybe even got a bit weaker!" On the surface this may seem to indicate that the Hulk does not have limitless potential for strength. However, if one looks at the context it reveals the opposite. Samson was able to figure out that something was wrong with the Hulk. That he was sick and dying. That he was losing molecular cohesion. How did he know something was wrong with the Hulk? Because he hit a limit. Something that the Hulk should not do.

Superman and Spider-Man Treasury #28: Hulk engages in a fight with the "Pre-Crisis" Superman. A surprise punch stuns the Man of Steel and sends him miles across Metropolis. When Superman returns, he stands his ground while the Hulk unleashes blows on him hoping that the brute will wear himself out while trying to move or hurt Superman. With every blow the Hulk continues to rage and grow stronger. It finally ends when Supes destroys the device that was making the Hulk angry, who eventually calms down. It's still in question if the Hulk would've been able to overpower this version of the Man of Steel.

TTA #68: Hulk leaps his way accross the Pacific, from Asia to America, from island to island, even from plane to plane! Not just an extraordinay display of leg power, but of reflexes and coordination.

Secret Wars #4: The Banner Hulk saves his life and that of several super heroes (Spider-Man, Reed Richards, Iron Man, and Captain America, among others) by supporting on his back and shoulders, the weight of a huge mountain, thrown on top of them by the Molecule Man.
Additional text contributed by Russell Brisson: A calm Hulk catches and supports at least in part, a mountian range that "dwarfs the Andes". Reed Richards attempts to make the banner controlled Hulk angry so that he doesn't tire. The banner controlled Hulk is historically horrible at getting angry.
The Hulk! #13: After stopping a plane, Hulk picks it up and carries it miles up to the top of a mountain.

The Hulk! #18: After actually ripping up an entire island, Hulk holds it afloat, and swims it miles to the shores of Africa.

Practically Impossible Feats
TIH #242: The Hulk is able to grasp an energy bubble that is indicated by narration to be impossible to do. It didn't even have physical mass.... "that something--anything--should be able to grip hold of an energy should be imppossible! But the Hulk grabs hold of it just the same! The field begins to stretch LIKE a physical thing in his grasp--as he pushes and pulls with EVER INCREASING MIGHT, until--The barrier collapses!!".
(Contributed by Russell Brisson)
TIH #450: Rages and breaks free from the Crimson Bands of Cytoraak that Dr.Strange put on him. These bands held the Hulk a few times before (Defenders Vol.1 #13, Vol.2 #6, TIH #207). Note: Talon (a much less powerful mage than Dr.Strange) used these mystical bands to hold a weakened Galactus (Guardians of the Galaxy #25).
(Contributed by John Cimino)
TIH #457: As "War", Hulk stopped the Juggernaut's forward charge. Note: When Apocalypse changed the Hulk into War, it was not specified how much how much enhanced-Celestial might the Hulk received. (Contributed by John Cimino)

Marvel Team-Up Guest Starring Spider-Man: Hulk overcomes the matter antimatter attraction between two bombs. Both the creator of the bomb as well as Bruce Banner agree that overcoming the attraction should be scientifically impossible. As the attraction is a "force of nature". Hulk not only seperates the 2 but goes further by knocking one of them millions of miles away into space.

Marvel Fanfare Vol.1 #7: Sends the Blob flying back (who was rooted to the ground) with a huge punch to his stomach. (Note: The Hulk tried this before and failed in Defenders Vol.1 #15 and later as the Gray Hulk in The Incredible Hulk Vol.2 #369. (Contributed by John Cimino)

Throwing Might
TTA #100: In this classic issue beautifully drawn by Marie Severin, Hulk throws Namor from the southern east point of the USA to the beaches of Miami. That's about 100 miles. The Sub-Mariner uses the wings of his ankles as brakes, otherwise, we would have landed even further (who knows where...)
TIH #248: Hulk throws the soul gem of the Gardener from the surface of planet K'ai, to its core, which means the gem penetrated the planet's very soil until it reached the center.

Victorious over Truly Powerful Foes
TIH #321, #322: Nearly annihilates two Avengers teams (minus Thor), that included Namor, She Hulk, Hercules, Wonder Man, and Iron Man. The Hulk nearly killed Iron Man during the fight, while Wonder Man feared for his life. The reason Hulk falls is that he's slowly weakening and dying for being physically separated from Bruce Banner. (Contributed by Russell Brisson and John Cimino)
TIH #383, #459, and TIH3 #25: Quickly shuts down the Abomination, even shatters his face with a punch (Vol.3 #25).
