Pick a Hulk

[thomasallencummins]

The Hulk character has a certain appeal that is unmistakable. There is something primal about the Hulk’s personality that must strike a chord with fans. I was never much of a fan of the Hulk (except during the tv series run in the 70’s). The “Hulk Smash! Hulk hate puny humans! Hulk strongest one there is!” Hulk is the one I was introduced to first and seems to linger in my mind but that Hulk was never a Hulk I could really get into. There is a Hulk that I do like. Peter David’s run on Hulk introduced us to the “Professor Hulk”. A Hulk character with all of the Hulk’s enormous strength and Bruce Banners vast intellect combined. The Professor Hulk didn’t last nearly long enough for my tastes but he managed to lure me in as a fan. (Gary Frank’s art didn’t hurt either.)

Pick a Hulk......there's so many to choose from: Bruce Banner alone is several different Hulks; The original Grey Hulk, the child-like Green Hulk, the aforementioned Professor Hulk, Maestro, the Scientist Hulk who predated Professor Hulk by about 100 issues, and about 100 other Hulks, as appeared in the early John Byrne issues of the late-90's reboot series.

Then there are the other Hulks: She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters), Red She-Hulk (Betty Ross/Banner), Red Hulk (Thunderbolt Ross), Skaar (Bruce's son), Green Hulk (Rick Jones)during Bruce's 2nd stint as Grey Hulk, And Nul, who's an obsidian Hulk, from what I can tell.

Way too many Hulks but I guess when a character lasts as long as The Hulk has many different writers and artists have their way with his story and you end up with quite a few iterations indeed. I personally don't have much use for any Hulk but banner. The rest I pretty much ignore and I guess, truth be told, the Hulk I like the best is probably whatever version I happen to be reading at any given time.
