Hulk.

Hulk angry. Hulk smash. Hulk like his purple pants.

I'm not saying that the Hulk is Bruce Banners angry, homosexual alter ego but it is funny to notice that the Hulk's always wearing purple pants, even when Banner hasn't been. It could be that, or it's just the fact that purple compliments big and green quite well. Or that Stan Lee (Hulks creator) stated that purple was the colour of anger and rage, and that it seemed an appropriate colour for a big, angry, green monster.

The Hulk has always been a favourite among comic book readers, and superhero-movie-watchers. The fact that he's unpredictable, and can completely destroy a city, is a fun aspect that hadn't been explored before his creation. His human half, Bruce Banner, is quite the opposite. This calm mannered, socially withdrawn, and emotionally reserved physicist transforms into the Hulk whenever he gets angry or succumbs to emotional stress.

Banner has always struggled to control the Hulk, but has, on occasion, managed to stop the Hulk and calm himself down; thus returning to Bruce Banner.

Stan Lee said that the Hulk's creation was inspired by a combination of Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.


Supervillains

General Thaddeus Ross made his first appearance in the comic book Incredible Hulk #1 in 1962, as a United States military officer. He is also Bruce Banners father in-law. If it wasn't enough to have his father in-law in the military, Ross was also head of the Gamma Bomb Project that turned Banner into the Hulk. And I thought my family was awkward.

Ross, not knowing that his son in-law was a big, green monster, created an obsession with the Hulk. Pursuing him for years. He eventually finds out that Banner and the Hulk are one and the same, and begins to hunt Banner as well. In 2008, Ross appears as the Red Hulk. He had transformed himself in order to better combat his nemesis. How he was able to do this is not entirely clear. Maybe he decided to expose himself to gamma radiation too; because that's entirely reliable to turn yourself into a big, angry creature of some sought.

Why doesn't Red Hulk have a mustache too?

Flaws and Attributes

Hulks obvious flaw is his anger, and whether or not Banner can control him or not.
Banner has also had serious mental problems even before he became the Hulk. To put it crudely, Bruce Banner is Hulks major flaw. It's easy to a kill a normal human, but try killing a creature that can lift 100 tons and destroy whole cities.

The Hulk possess monster like strength, durability, and has no need for oxygen. So, yes, he can fight in space.


Fun Facts

- The Hulks hobbies include smashing things, beating people up, and fighting the military.
- Bruce Banner's cousin became She-Hulk after receiving a blood transfusion from Bruce.
- Metal-clawed bad boy, Wolverine got his first full story in The Incredible Hulk #181 as a cocky Canadian in yellow tights.


Possibility of the Hulk Existing

The level of gamma radiation Banner was exposed to at the initial blast of the Gamma Bomb, would cause severe radiation sickness and kill him. A short lived superhero indeed. If it didn't kill him, it would create a great cancer risk for Banner. And a superhero on chemotherapy would be interesting, but he still wouldn't be able to do much.

An alternative origin, is that the Hulk could have been created through biological experimentation with adrenal glands and GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein). The adrenal glands would explain the Hulks immense strength as he gets angrier or when Banner becomes emotionally stressed out. The GFP would explain his green colouring.

The two giants going at each other.

Hulk existing? Possible. But not from the origin story that Stan Lee created.
