So has Hulk really killed anyone in your opinion?

[Willowhugger]

My take on the question is that the Hulk has probably killed just as many people as Tony Stark suggests but it was during periods he was mind controlled, on a rampage caused by external forces (like the gamma explosion)
, or events like when Bruce Banner was removed from the Hulk.

It preserves some of the Hulk's heroic nature but also leaves his terrible danger.

Hey, the real question is, "How many people did Tony Stark kill during the last CW battle? And how many does he take responsibility for?"

 

[Willowhugger]

To be fair, I imagine that all those 50 people got killed by supervillains/Clor/Insane superheroes from their time in the Negative Zone.

So I'd say they're all Evil Tony's fault.

Thankfully, I'm sure that it'll all be revealed to be a LMD Tony's fault.

well the hulk killed that alien nazie in the ultimates if that counts and he also killed abomination in the ultimates too...you know maybe the ultimate hulk is a bit...more murderess than most other versions.

The Ultimate is practically a straight-up villain. He's cool when he wants to be, like owning aliens and foreign invaders. Good in a pinch I'd say

The 616 Hulk...I really don't like him killing civilians, even if it's the mindless one without banner's persona. But I'll accept it, sorta. Just as long as they keep the killings specific to when Banner is not there to give Hulk a conscience.

I still don't like the Vegas one. It seemed pretty light and short compared to some of the Hulk's most vicious rampages (like Jericho for instance), yet it all of a sudden yielded 20+ deaths? Meh, seems like marvel has some retconning to do.

No, the Hulk has never killed anyone, despite what writers like Bendis think.

Going back to the original character as envisioned by Lee, Kirby, and even Ditko, the Hulk was always a mis-understood monster. Mis-understood in the sense that while he was a huge, fearsome, powerful creature, we the readers knew that in reality, he was a gentle giant with a basically good heart, wrongly hunted and hounded by General Ross and his "Hulkbusters"...

Turn him The Hulk into a murderer, and guess what? The fans were wrong, and General Ross was right to try and capture/kill him...

Having the Hulk kill goes against the basic struture and continuity set up by Marvel's original visionaries, so no; i'll never support that way of thinking.

No, although the Hulk may not have consciously set out to kill anybody, people(such as Colonel Glenn Talbot in #HULK 260) occasionally died in his pursuit or severely injured opponents such as the Crimson Dynamo in #HULK 258- but as his widow Betty sadly told Rick Jones in the next issue, the real tragedy was that the Hulk was only dangerous when attacked or provoked-most of the time he just wants to be left alone(which makes the proposed "World War Hulk" storyline all the more disturbing- it's almost as if the Hulk has suddenly decided, albeit provoked by the death of his wife and unborn child, that "if they think I'm a danger to humanity before-look at me now!" All in all, it would be fair to assume that strictly speaking the Hulk has killed fewer times- IN COLD BLOOD- than say Wolverine or Captain America!
