Then square that and divide by 5 to determine BL in lbs, divide by 2000 for tons... that's a BL of 4.9 x 10^91 short tons. The mass of the Earth is only about 6 x 10^24 kilos, which translates into only 3 x 10^21 metric tons. Your Hulk could flick planets around like specks of dust. Seems a little high even for the Hulk, methinks.

He probably needs a high basic ST, with only about +20 with Super-Effort.
Unfortunately, Super-Effort is the only thing I could think of to model the fact that he gets stronger as he gets angrier. His base ST is a "calm" Hulk, able to bench-press about 70 tons; his "normal" Angry!Hulk ST is rated about ST 350, or 100 tons, and his top strength is uncharted. (As the entry reads, no one has ever dared to get the Hulk, in any incarnation, supremely angry.

If there's another way to model this, I'd love to hear it.

Edit: Wait a sec. Reading through this, what would be the end result of this: ST 295 base, Lifting ST +35 (Trigger: Anger), Lifting ST +20 (Super-Effort (Trigger: Extremely Angry)), Striking ST +55 (Trigger: Anger)? Might also want to tack on some Extra HP +55 (Trigger: Angry) as well, as he does seem to shrug off even more damage when he gets ****** off.
