How strong is the hulk?
Let's compare things according to 3.5
A Human at Peak Strength ECL 1 Can -
Move while wearing a 100 pound backpack without serious difficulty, whether visible or not.
Can Curl almost 150 pounds
Can Military Press 300 pounds.
Can Bench 600 pounds.
Can Drag Three Quarters of a Short Ton
Has a minor chance of winning in an arm wrestle against a typical ogre.
If he/she is a barbarian and flies into a rage, they could probably lift a 500 pound boulder over their head and then hurl it a very short distance.
Mind you, most imperial human legionnaires in roman times could not approach this level of physical achievement.
An Orc at Peak Strength ECL 1 Can -
Bench over 1000 pounds
Easily Drag Over a Metric Ton
Curl a 200 pound weight; the kind that probably doesn't exist in any gyms I know of.
Likely Trump a North American Strong Man Competition (fatties with biceps!)
An Ogre at Peak Strength ECL 5 (minimum) Can -
Military Press Over 1000 pounds on a Whim
Carry a Saddle containing Two Humans in Full Plate Without too Much Difficulty
Twin Curl 500 pound Barbells (the kind that would kill the toughest man if brushed over the head with)
Easily Bench Over a Metric Ton
Cammy From Street Fighter (ECL Uknown; plenty of iterations, I'm sure) Can -
Wield Her Red Metal Gauntlets, Each Weighing 800 pounds Without Any Difficulty Whatsoever
Military Press Three Short Tons, or Two While Wearing the Gauntlets
Bench Five Short Tons While Wearing the Gauntlets
Smash through thin concrete floors on a swift action or perhaps a move action
Bust up a large muscle car in less than a minute if the player controlling her is 'good enough'. And then squish it into a crumple as if it were a piece of paper (although she would be using both hands to speed up the process).
A Halo Universe Spartan With Peak Strength in Armor (ECL 1 Without Mjolnir Powered Armor) Can -
Lift a warthog over his/her head with incredible ease and then throw it a short distance. Or tip it right side up as an immediate action during a round of combat.
Bench a scorpion (that is, if it weighs close to an M1 Abrams)
Drag a freight of over 1200 tons.
Leap up to eight vertical feet at any time, or ten at the most - if untrained in jumping.
Kill a typical ogre with a good ol' slam attack
The Hulk (plenty of iterations, again) Can
Wield the barrel of an M1 Abram's main cannon like an improvised war club to bash said tank to ribbons after tearing the barrel off of the very same tank.
Leap incalculable distances.
Hold up the weight of a mountain (or a decent sized vertical slab of sheer rock formation many times his own size), as seen on the front of a comic issue; not necessarily hurtle aforementioned weight.

So... how strong is the hulk???
