Respect The Immortal Hulk
-The Challenger, Avengers #693
This is an idea I had once Hulk came back in Secret Empire, and can finally get around to doing since the feats are flooding in. Essentially, my aim is to make this the most up to date Hulk respect thread available. I will only be including feats of Hulk after his death during Civil War II and will be updating it regularly whenever Bruce does anything noteworthy in his solo or any other canon comic he appears in. If anyone wants to help contribute or notices something that I haven't, feel free to PM me the feat and issue number and I'll do my best to get it here asap. Currently, Hulk doesn't have an abundance of feats, but I figured I'd start early and update it gradually. Anyway, without further ado, let's get to the smashing.
Update 1: this update is to make everything nicer to look at and more streamlined, I've taken out the differing text for me and Battleaxe as well as added more feats.

This, taken from a PM post, basically explains what Immortal Hulk is:
Brief intro to Immortal Hulk
Section 1: Strength
Disclaimer: Feats taken from Uncanny Avengers are his first resurrection after his death, The Hand 'resurrected' him, but simply just gave him a prod. It's important to note that for this specific resurrection, because of the Hand's influence, he was more susceptible to all that was thrown at him, not that it really mattered.
Disclaimer 2: Feats taken from Secret Empire are also not neccasarily Immortal Hulk, but they're after Bruce's death so I'm including them anyway.
Uncanny Avengers II #16:
Throws a statue at deadpool
Uncanny Avengers II #17:
Hulk couldn't be so much as moved by the combined efforts of Rogue with Wonder Mans strength and Cable's TK, even going as far as to overpower Rogue with one arm:
Avengers #684:
Tears apart Enigma pretty effortlessly who can make her density as hard as diamonds, later confirmed that Hulk killed Pod here...
Here's the script for this:
Avengers #685:
Crushes General Maverick Red Hulk's hand despite him also wearing an Iron Man suit to better contend with Hulk:
here's the script:
Avengers #686:
Easily restrains Wonder Man (who appears to be far more powerful than classic days) and seemingly could have torn his head off if he wasn't toying with him:
here's the script:
Later in the same issue Hulk repeatedly shrugs off the efforts of Jane Thor and friggin Hercules, at one point literally ignoring their attempts to restrain him and can shake them off by flexing...
here's the script:
It's worth noting that this is easily a planetary given the strength of the characters involved.
Immortal Hulk #5
Chokes and holds back possessed sasquatch:
It's worth noting that Sasquatch was 'amped' here by the One Below All to become on par with Hulk.
Immortal Hulk #7
Oneshots Ghostrider (Robbie Reyes) by throwing him:
Tears the arms off of Tony's latest Hulkbuster effortlessly and a thunderclap ragdolls Cap and Thor despite both of them being behind Tony:
Casually catches current She Hulk's punch with one arm and matches her without much effort:
Infinity Wars #5
Manhandles Gamora with 5 infinity stones whilst Hulk only has the space stone. Worth mentioning that the only ability listed as being new is defying gravity and the space stone has never amplified physical stats as far as I'm aware.
Section 2: Striking
Uncanny Avengers II #16:
Stomped and KO'ed Deadpool:
Secret Empire #6:
Oneshots a barrier that not even Thor wielding Jarbjorn could break...
Thor's turn:
Hulk's turn:
Later in the same issue Hulk proceeds to two shot The Thing:
This is the Avengers 684's prelude's look at one of the punches:
Avengers #684:
Crushes Captain Glory's spine in one smash:
Captain Glory had previously been able to fight on par with Proxima Midnight and defeated Ebony Maw
Later in the same issue, Hulk one-shotted Cannonball with a casual slap that had enough force to break Quicksilvers ribs when attempting to catch Sam:
this is the script:
Also worth noting that Cannonball literally dove headfirst into a charging Mjolnir a few issues earlier and was still conscious so he's very durable when blasting...
Avengers #685:
Completely mangles Maverick's face in three hits:
(by the way the script describes it, it was basically done after 2 punches):
Bodies Vision:
Then proceeds to hit Vision so hard that he literally causes him to start speaking in Binary...
Later confirmed in issue #687 that Vision was more or less rendered 'dead' and needs to be repaired:
Slaps around Wonder Man:
Him just swinging his hands back hurts Jane Thor and Hercules
Avengers #688:
Beats down and draws blood from a freaking Elder of the universe who was taking on and beating an entire Avengers team.
script:
Immortal Hulk #5:
Draws blood from and hurts Sasquatch, who was under Spoiler's possession has unlocked his full power, rivalling that of Bruce's:
When he gets bloodlusted, he really puts the hurt on Sasquatch, beating him down and kind of reverting to a savage hulk kinda speech as well. Interesting. Though, from here, there are pretty major spoilers, so don't read this if you haven't read the issue:
Immortal Hulk #7:
Oneshots Thor with Captain America claiming that he's "never seen Thor get hit so hard before"...
It's worth noting that this hit completely took Thor out of the fight and was revealed to have fractured his skull:
Oneshots current She Hulk by hitting her at least two miles away:
Overloads Black Panther's Vibranium Armor with a single hit...
Fantastic Four #3 (2018):
Breached Griever's ship and stomped a small army of Endlings:
For reference, the FF's extended family couldn't breach the ship.
Section 3: Durability
Uncanny Avengers II #16:
Cable's best only ticks him off:
neither does Rogue (with WM'S powers):
Uncanny Avengers II #17:
Still Nope:
Avengers #684:
Enigma fails to hurt him:
script:
Avengers #685:
Maverick as Red Hulk propels himself forward and hits Hulk hard enough to shatter his own armour... Hulk basically no sells it:
script:
Vision also fails to hurt him:
script:
Uncanny Avengers II #16:
The Uncanny Avengers fail at damaging him
Uncanny Avengers II #17:
The Torch's FULL NOVA flame does about nothing but piss him off, even though in this specific resurrection, he's weak to fire
Earlier in the issue Synapse barely affected his optic nerves and it took everything out of her to barely affect his nervous system:
Avengers #684:
Lightning exhausts himself doing nothing to hurt him, a month before him doing the same produced hundreds of thousands of gigawatts to power a machine:
Avengers #685:
Maverick's repulsors do nothing:
script:
Vision's heat blasts don't do much either:
In fact, Neither do Thor (lightning amped) or Hercules with Rogue, with Hercules hitting him so hard that he hurts himself, WITH A SUCKER PUNCH.
script:
In fact, the only thing to actually hurt him was A freaking Elder of the universe who completely dissolved WM with a blast and was taking on a team of avengers punching him clear into space, far enough that he reached other planets, and even still, he was laughing all the way.
In fact, the script describes it as equal punch, equal energy attack
Immortal Hulk #5:
Tanks possesed Sasquatch slamming him through a wall:
Immortal Hulk #7:
Blocks Tony's repulsors with his palms:
Proceeds to no sell a beating from current She Hulk:
Immortal Hulk #8
An Adamantium scalpel mounted on a multi-million dollar machine that can bend titanium like paper whines dangerously just by cutting into Hulk's heart.
Section 4: Resistance
Avengers #684:
Mentacle, an above Professor X level telepath, was terrified looking into The Hulk's brain:
Avengers #686
Rogue can't affect him with her draining:
Him grabbing on to the Pyramoid, which transported and encased everyone else who touched them in crystal, doesn't effect him. In fact, he shatters the Pyramoid.
Section 5: Regen/Immortality
Immortal Hulk #1:
once the night comes, turns and heals from banner being shot in the head and dying:
Immortal Hulk #2:
Instantly Turns to Hulk and heals from his neck being snapped:
Immortal Hulk #3:
Instantly heals a huge hole in his chest created by Hotshot:
Immortal Hulk #5:
Heals instantly from having Banner's neck cut. Banner died from this:
Takes and heals almost instantly from multiple slashes and stabs possessed Sasquatch gives him. (I included the next pages so you could get a good look at his body to see that he did, in fact, heal).
Heals from being slashed, having his eyes gouged out, and then being stabbed. Though you could take it with a grain of salt, this being after he absorbed sasquatch's gamma
Immortal Hulk #8
Heals from his body being completely seperated including limbs and organs (some of which are disected themselves) within a single page:
Other
Avengers #685:
Is fast and uses this speed to dodge vision's attacks:
script:
Can smell lies (Al Ewing confirmed this as an ability):
Immortal Hulk #2:
Directs Banner and is smarter than he currently is:
He can now absorb Gamma energy in a similar vein to Red Hulk:
Immortal Hulk #8
Can control his limbs without them being attached to his body.
Infinity Wars #5
Said to be the most powerful member of a group that includes Kang and Loki.
Weaknesses

Immortal Hulk #7:
Sunlight as a weakness was confirmed on Twitter by Al Ewing:
