    Hulk shakes the ground with his sheer physical strength. And he creates an earthquake in Sakaar,

    Not a really big earthquake but probably thousands of tons to be shaking what looks to be at least a city block

    I am pretty sure if someone throws a 100 ton tank to the ground, it wouldn't even create a vibration, let alone a powerful earthquake that can knock people down.

    Well since an M1A1 Abrams weighs only 57 tons... drop a couple of them in the middle of a street from even 100 ft, the nearby earth will shake. Js.

    @erkan12:

    Hundreds of thousands of tons.

    ——-

    There are a few ways to show this.

    ——-

    Just the intersection is about 40 ft by 40 ft, and Hulk burrowed down to a depth of about his own hight, call it 8ft.

    That’s 12800 cubic feet of earth and concrete Hulk was moving with each punch(lowball)

    ——-

    Then account for the buildings, they are 50,000 tons a piece minimum(lowball)

    ——-

    And this is all without taking into account that this force has to travel through stone and soil(not the best energy transfer materials) and the fact that he moved this mass with enough deflection and velocity to bounce cars 6 inches.

    ——-

    In the hundreds of thousands of tons range.

    ——-

    I challenge anyone to show me a real life video of any impact (be it a building falling down, or something else) that can cause localized earth displacement that can bounce cars six inches up that are 40+ feet away.

    This is a pretty sick underrated feat as well.

    MCU Hulk and Steppenwolf are probably the most underrated on this site.

    I agree. I thought it was at least thousands of tons, but considering the power of that vibrations, which knocked down hundreds of people, it requires an insane power. It should be hundreds of thousands of tons.

    @dannyphantom: Hulk holds back when he wants. He chose a perfect place to fall after destroying that aircraft. It was a completely isolated location. As the security guy said;

    Security: You fell out of the sky.

    Banner: - Did I hurt anybody?

    Security: - There's nobody around here to get hurt. You did scare the hell out of some pigeons though. - Banner: Lucky.

    Security: - Or just good aim. You were awake when you fell.

    I honestly don’t see this as being inimitable from other guys like Diana, Steppenwold, Iron Man, Worthy Cap, etc. But maybe that’s just me.

    But looking at it objectively, he shook the ground enough to create what looks like a roughly magnitude 4.0-4.9 earthquake, which is equivalent to 15-337 tons of TNT, or a 282 lightning strikes. And it really isn’t that better than Steppenwolf breaking apart ground, Iron Man slamming a gigantic structure into Thanos, etc.

    Without the Earthquke comparison, I’m seeing Hulk shaking cars dozens of feet away on accident. That’s worse than what Thor did on accident in one hit against Malekith.

    I doubt.

    I don't think anything less than 7.0 magnitude earthquake would knock people down, though that's only the core. The entire city would feel it like 3.0 - 4.0 magnitude.

    @erkan12: where would you put his striking strength in terms of other characters such as Thor, Stepponwolf, DCEU Doomsday?

    @daywalker98: Stronger than Steppenwolf and Thor without lightning obviously. Doomsday is kind of inconsistent so it's hard to judge.

    Sorry to bump an old thread but Hulk has something similar to this in his solo movie vs Abomination..

    Also the Raganrok scene is actually the Arena floor dropping down to give it the metal walls not actually anything to do with Hulk.

    Causing an earthquake takes a lot more force than some people think.

    In real life, country level earthquakes are caused by two tectonic plates rubbing against each other, and tectonic plates can weigh quintillion tons.

    To cause a cityblock level earthquake would need something like two city wide landmass rubbing against each other, which means you need to be strong enough to slowly move a city to cause a cityblock level earthquake.

    A city probably weighs at least a few million tons or more, so Hulk should be a million tonner like Thor.
