An evil Sorcerer Supreme? Controlled, no less, by one of the previous Sorcerer Supreme's worst enemies? That's got story potential in the hands of someone other than Bendis.
 
That's...odd.

Why did they go for the
weird, obscure option when they have a character with way more storytelling potential - Wiccan - available and primed for the role?

Wiccan is/was nowhere near ready for that title. Kid can't even cast non-verbal spells yet :whatever:

Which is why it might've been interesting to see. Wiccan's just getting the hang of his innate magic powers, and then all of a sudden, he's called on to fight Shuma Gorath in the 18th dimension of Quirm or whatever. That's the essence of an underdog--taking on things they're not ready for and persevering.
 
I know very little about the new SS so it could surprise me and be handled really well but I'd imagine a certain level of experience would be a requirement for the title lol.
 
Magic hasn't exactly been prominent lately, so maybe their options were limited. Whoever "they" are. I don't know who Bendis has deciding on the next SS since I'm not reading NA.
 
[blackout]Loki and Doom[/blackout] would have been interesting, but VERY obvious picks.
 
I don't think [blackout]Loki[/blackout] needs it, to be honest. Dude's powerful enough.
 
yeah Loki would have been too much and i dont want[BLACKOUT]the hood either since he just plains sucks[/BLACKOUT] .... hmmm you know maybe the Red Hulk should've got it. then he could have taken on Galactus cause he read the files on him.Haha i love how that guy just reads files and can defeat people.... oops went off on a tangent carry on about you SS discussion
 
Rulk got his ass handed to him by Galactus, but I'll admit; I was worried for a second. He did have the power cosmic AND Terrax's axe :o
 
yeah i read that book and it was full of &^%$#, but then with powers of the SS nobody could defeat him. since like he is now he killed the Grandmaster that even people like the Beyonder couldnt wax.That Red hulk is &^%$#@ big time. Plus he didnt read the files on Galactus but just wait till next time. Hahaha

So you're the demographic the Hulk comic appeals to. I'd started to think you were just a myth and Marvel was somehow faking the sales numbers.

have they exposed who Rulk really is? I lost interest around the time he fought the lady legion(or whomever they are,... most of them were just invulerable superrstrong types.)
I'm waiting for it to change a little.

awww now come on Corp just the other day i was saying how much i *&^%*&^%$#@(*&^%$#@*&^%$#(*&^%$#@#*&^% hate that red hulk book!
see that's why i have to put disclaimers on my messages. that was a totally joke about that dude being the SS( don't you guys know me by now??). and no. Varient they havent gave away his ID yet. i think you have to wait to issue#600 to see( i could care less at this moment)..... or maybe another year cause that seems to be what sells books now.Him and Black panther
 
Rulk would have been cool if Loeb didn't have him kicking everyone's ass every single time. Hulk, Thor, Dr. Strange, Silver Surfer, Terrax, the Grandmaster, the Watcher, etc. It's freaking overkill.

Nope, just more clues. Apparently, Hulk caused Rulk some heartbreak in the past(probably killed or stole his woman) :huh:
 
I haven't been keeping up with Hulk at all. Is General Ross a possibility?
 
Why would Samson hate everybody so much as Rulk, though? He's always been a decent guy.
