    If Hulk was standing on the surface of the sun and there was an indestructible chain connected to his hand to Earth.... Can Hulk pull the Earth towards the sun?

    P.S: Juggernaut and Rulk are capping jokes at Hulk while he is pulling.

    Neither Jugg or Rulk are capable or trolling Hulk into getting enough strength for that.

    Deadpool on the other hand...

    Slapping him over and over, given enough time he could possibly pull the Earth.

    If you assume he could take the Sun's temperature. I don't know how long he'll last on the surface, but he has endured the temperature equals to the core of the Sun before.

    Well the sun does give out alot of Gamma Radiation.

    It does not. Though it does produce it, the gamma rays do not reach the Sun's surface.

    He'll sink toward the Sun and get obliterated anyway as the Sun is not solid.

    Making an walkway through the space for him to walk on is better setting.

    He's thinking of pulsars or novas and blah blah ... But anyway let's say he's standing on Galactus's ship since even if Hulk did become strong enough to pull the Earth to the sun or another planet it would take him like millions of years. And we were worried about the temp,huh.. Yes he could pull the Earth given the right amount of motivation. His entire gimmick is that he just keeps getting stronger and I see him being able to do anything Superman has done.

    Read this:

    Hulk can and has survived space and even heat much hotter than the sun. Nuclear explosions are hotter then the surface of the sun and despite that there is gamma radiation on the Sun's surfac, keep in mind that Hulk's body itself is a transcontinental antenna directly linked to a demension of unlimited gamma radiation.

    Well, most people probably don't know how the Hulk's powers actually work, so just lets get this straight
    He gets his power from some unknown dimension. From it he gets mass, bones, tissues, energy, all what makes hima Hulk. It is in his official bio

    Notice how it is said "presumably extra-dimensional".
    We all know that in Secret Wars #8 Beyonder said that Hulk's power was infinite, had no finite element and resembled himself actually.
    This is not a glorify Hulk thread or anything but seriously, I'm very interested what is such a dimension that allows Hulk to
    - punch through timestorms, dimensions, destroy cosmoses
    - break the "unbreakables" like Adamantium, Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, Flame of Life which was created by Deviants to fight Gods and Celestials, forcefields of Doom, Collector, Onslaught's armor and others
    - performing ridiculous feats of strength like resisting anti-matter attraction, punching asteroids, lifting mountains
    - being able to see astral projections, grasping pure energy, being unaffected by intangibility, magic, etc..
    There are other ridiculous feats of Hulk that I have in my collection, I can support scans for any if you ask
    But there is one thing here

    Surfer says its inter-dimensional. So extra or inter ?
    There is another interesting scan here

    Notice the last part about "walking nexus of reality".
    It's pretty interesting, you see, whenever Hulk transforms back to Banner the energy and mass returns to that dimension. Gamma rays and anger seem to somewhat transfer the flow of energy from that source.
    So could that dimension be the ultimate source of unlimited power seeing how even beings from beyond found no limit to it ?

    K.. Like I said ignoring the science issues and the possibility of Hulk being damaged by the sun. Yes with enough build up he should be able to . That whole where his power comes from stuff annoys me since his classic story was about anger. The dimension stuff is just there to explain how it could be limitless but I hate the concept because it doesn't fit the character.

    If Superman sun dipped he could do it easily... We are talking about an extra string version of Hulk so don't start crying about Superman's feats. Hulk has a near unlimited amour of power that he can draw from gamma radiation and that extra dimension stuff, so it's perfectly reasonable that he could do it if given enough of a boost in power.

    According to the feat Hulk never move anything even quarter of a Earth's weight yet. Though I can't argue that in theory, Hulk was meant to have unlimited strength.

    So assuming Hulk can survive in the Sun by continuing absorbing gamma radiation from the Sun to boost his durability, he won't have a place to walk to. Sun's surface is not solid, and he will not be able to walk on. However, if there's cosmic highway in the space, he probably could do it assuming there's enough gamma radiation and plenty of anger.

    Im gonna say no. He might be able to destroy a planet but it would take many times more force to pull it away from its gravitational field. A planet technically weighs nothing in space it just gravitational fields.

    Hulk's already overcome enough energy to move a planet from it's orbit, so I don't see why he couldn't do this.

    i didn't knew sun emitted gamma rays, if thats the case its only presumable that he would grow stronger, if superman can grow stronger with solar energy, i don't see why HULK could not , it would not be an exaggeratted hypothesis, but then again their would have to be some solid surface to put his foot onto, provided if their is then it could be done. But i like the other way around, HULK pulling the Sun towards Earth, now he could that if their were some real motive behind that.

    The Sun emits radiation across all parts of the Spectrum. We just associate it most with visible light, UV light, and infrared light because we can see those and the effects of those most easily, that and they're the spectra the sun emits the most of. Other spectra the sun emits such as Gamma and X-rays are deflected by the Earth's magnetosphere or are absorbed by the Ozone layer, so we don't really feel their effects. However, due to the wonkiness of things in the core of the sun, the gamma rays emitted there take a very long time to leave the sun as in longer than your life time long, but there's always a constant stream of gamma radiation coming out of the sun.

    Were everything but the Gamma and X-ray output of the sun to be removed, it'd still be more than enough energy to wipe out all life on Earth with just a second's worth of output if the entirety of the energy were to be focused on Earth. The ionizing effects of the radiation would be enough to cause massive cell death and radiation related health problems if the heat didn't fry you at the Corona. So yes, in addition to constantly boiling as the sun's heat hits him and it's light burns his corneas, Hulk would soak up a lot of ionizing radiation.

    Of course, the amount of ionizing radiation the sun gives off is peanuts compared to other places in the universe. If you really want a colossal amount of radiation, forget stars, heck, forget gamma ray bursts. Go Quasar or go home.

    A gamma ray burst or GRB is the generic term that astronomers describe any object in the sky that's emits a very powerful but short-lived burst of gamma rays (hours to days only). Typically GRB's are caused by a very special binary star system that consists of a neutron star and a neighboring star that's in close orbit such that stellar material from the neighboring star is being gravitationally pulled into the neutron star. Because the neutron star is spinning very fast, the stellar material spins into an accretion disk and when the amount of stellar material reaches critical mass, you get a gamma ray burst.

    Of course, there are many other possible sources of gamma rays, such a blackholes, but they tend to be a more stable source of gamma rays as oppose to just a short burst of gamma rays. Now quasars are galaxies at the edge of our visible Universe that are emitting gamma rays from the supermassive blackholes at its core, and they are fairly long lived gamma ray sources.

    @gou10t:

    And on a total energy output level, more powerful than GRBs. Maybe not as intense pound for pound, but a Quasar's emission ray dwarfs that of a GRB's by orders of magnitude.

    @imnemothegemini: Not really. At the very best he lifted an 250 billion mountain and was completely exhausted afterwards

    @leonkarlen123: It was 150 billion and that was his weaker version in a weakened state, not to mention it happened 40 years ago, at his very best he has resisted the weight of a star.

    It was never specified but the smallest known star right now is OGLE-TR-122b, a red dwarf star that’s part of a binary stellar system. This red dwarf the smallest star to ever have its radius accurately measured; 0.12 solar radii. This works out to be 167,000 km. That’s only 20% larger than Jupiter. You might be surprised to know that OGLE-TR-122b has 100 times the mass of Jupiter, but it’s only a little larger.

    So i guess it's safe to say Hulk can pull a weight of the planet.
