The outermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere is actually the Exosphere, which starts at the top of this diagram’s column (where it says “exobase”) and extends to about 10,000 km, or over 9 times longer than the diagram as-is.
In the diagram below,*** with Earth’s atmospheric layers to scale, Hulk and Rick would be above the entire picture by more than double its height. As escape velocity is the speed needed to not fall back down to Earth at all, it seems a reasonable limit to the edge of space. The one usually used is the Karman Line (altitude 100 km). This is the approximate altitude where - because the air is so thin - an aircraft would have to fly as fast as escape velocity in order to actually stay aloft using atmospheric lift. As such, there are a few different ‘edges’ of space. There isn’t actually a point where the atmosphere ends and vacuum begins the number of particles just decreases as you keep going up.
The Hulk is jumping over 4 times higher than the ISS, which is, as the name implies, in space. This image of Earth’s atmosphere was taken from the International Space Station, which orbits at an altitude between 330 and 435 km. Hulk’s jump is about 11.5 times higher than the height of our arc, about 1869 km (1161 mi) at the peak.] The radius of the Earth - treating the planet as a perfect sphere - is 6371 km (3959 mi), so the height and width of the arc would be 162.5 km (101 mi) and 2,860 km (1777 mi), respectively. Scaling the height to 1 unit, the width is about 17.6, making the radius 39.2. All we need to know is the arc’s height and width (yellow lines below). [Math break: There’s a formula we can use to find the radius of a circle given an arc. The image in the final panel gives us enough curvature to approximate not only how big the entire earth would be, but how high that jump is. Once his feet leave the ground, after all, he has essentially no control over where he gets to land** (He could technically steer a tiny bit by using his trenchcoat like one of those glider-suit things).
Let’s assume that the Hulk somehow knows the exact distance between each island in order to know how much force to put into his jump. In order to get to the other side of the planet, they decide to fly coach - Hulk borrowing his disguise from some teenaged, mutated, ninja turtles who haven’t been invented, yet. CIA) assistance into the 60′s, which is where we find Banner and his teenage sidekick Rick Jones. Guerrilla warfare in the region continued with minimal American (i.e. Tibet had been incorporated into the People’s Republic of China in 1951 after a failed uprising in 1959 (& the Dalai Lama fleeing into exile), the Tibetan government was dissolved. In this issue, Hulk takes a bit of a break from being hunted by General Ross to go save the not made-up “principality of Llhasa” (in Tibet*) from the invading forces of the very much made-up General Fang (”The most brutal warlord since Ghengis Khan”). Had she read Marvel comics, she would have discovered a much more intimidating Bumble debuting almost 2 years earlier (Jan. ‘63).
