As a subject matter expert in comic book lore, I can tell you that Spider-Man and the Hulk have different power sets and are not directly comparable in terms of strength. Spider-Man, created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, possesses the proportionate strength of a spider, which allows him to lift and carry hundreds of pounds. His strength is impressive for a human but is not on the same scale as the Hulk's.

The Hulk, on the other hand, is a character whose strength is directly proportional to his level of emotion, particularly anger. This means that the more angry the Hulk gets, the stronger he becomes. There is virtually no upper limit to the Hulk's strength, making him one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe.

In their standard states, Spider-Man is not as strong as the Hulk. However, both characters have had various power fluctuations and different versions throughout the years, which can sometimes alter their comparative strengths. But generally speaking, the Hulk's strength is considered to be much greater than that of Spider-Man.
