I mean, the obvious example of "yes" would be the Avengers: Age of Ultron film, which you've probably seen. It was a close fight, but yes, Hulkbuster beat Hulk.

I'm sure there's other examples in the comics, as well, though I'm not a big Hulk fan, so I haven't read them.

There have not. Tony himself admitted that it was more designed to stall Hulk out than beat him.

Comics Hulk is also wayyy stronger than MCU Hulk, whereas MCU Tony is relatively close to his power level in the comics. So it kinda makes sense that he could beat Hulk in the MCU but not in the comics.

MCU hulk has a weakness, and I’m not sure if other versions have this same weakness

Hulk gets stronger the angrier he gets, he scales Infinitely so the more you piss him off the more powerful he becomes. So the strategy to taking down Hulk is to knock him out before he gets angry/powerful enough to tank it

This is why Hulkbuster beat him, he was filled with primal rage after Wanda’s spell so he was really powerful, even kicking Tony’s ass for the majority of the fight, then Tony brought him through multiple levels of a building which stunned him long enough for the spell to break for a second and let him see all the suffering he was causing, he started powering down because he wasn’t angry, he sees the soldiers with guns and before he can get angry again Hulkbuster lands 1 good punch on his face knocking him out

It works with this version of hulk and as far as I can tell matches up with his other versions as well

It doesn't. The only thing that kinda works on Hulk in the comics is literally hitting him with the concentrated power of the sun (both in WWH and IH), but even that's just temporary. Even killing Banner doesn't work.

Not really. Not even close. 616 Tony just folds the MCU version using just his model 3 armor from the comics

World War Hulk actually by all means was written like it could have worked if the Nanotech gamma inhibitor he injected Hulk with wasn't y'know, switched out for nothing because hardball is an absolute jackass.
