War of the Realms Strikeforce: The War Avengers #1

As if he wasn't OP enough, after being drained of his gamma he discovered he can shift his gamma frequency to become other hulks, going from a grey hulk and then briefly depowered to a flying harpy with talons:

he can also shift back and forth freely while in this form:

No Caption Provided

Savage Avengers #2 - Time is the Sharpest Edge

he can shift into a pure red hulk form with energy absorption

Savage Avengers #3 - The Devil's Gauntlet

A leader form with super-genius, telepathy, and telekenisis

Savage Avengers #4 - Chapter Four: Stress Test

When he gets his stolen gamma back, he becomes a composite hulk form with all those powers, with "incalculable" strength, enough to fight the Elder God set for half an issue

while still competent enough to use his military training in-fight

Savage Avengers #5 - We Are Legend

also he has an abomination (or I guess a-bomb) form that can turn invisible, because why not

Savage Avengers #7 - Shock to the System

One weakness I guess is his nanobots can be controlled by a sufficiently powerful techno path. Sufficiently powerful being A hyper advanced time lord Ultron:

Conclusion

Despite not having a whole lot of quantifiable feats or even feats in general, Clay is a ridiculously powerful High tier threat. He has physicals that can go at it Immortal hulk and Grendel Symbiote Carnage, speed that makes people like Sabertooth and Lady deathstrike look slow and can tag a luck manipulator, a healing factor that rivals the best, combat skill that can give wolverine pause even out of his hulk form, and for the kicker has several feet long adamantium claws and an adamantium skeleton, able to be manipulated in a doomsday-like fashion (due to adamantium nanobots).

As of savage avengers, he's gone from an unstoppable physical threat and gotten even more powerful and versatile, as he now can fly, absorb energy, become telepathic, telekinetic and hyperintelligent, and turn invisible at will, as well as having gamma energy projection like eye beams and gamma bursts. All in all, I legit have no idea how someone who doesn't eclipse herald tier would beat him in a straight up fight, as he's already physically unstoppable and now has hax that shores up any weakness of being a hulk as well as gives him more ways to end people.

The only minor weakness he has is a weakness to ridiculously powerful technopathy, but that's not viable to 99.999% of fictional techno paths considering he's straight up resisted it before at a high level.
