Re: Hulk and banishment, I think you all have missed the point. The problem with the Hulk in comics isn't that he's powerful. There's a bunch of people on the planet that can kick his ass, when the writer isn't jobbing him out.
The problem is that the Hulk is *insane*. Banner suffers from really, really bad MPD, with basically every personality having pathological impulse control issues. Many of the personalities have limited intelligence, whether childlike or animalistic. Some of the personalities have limited or no empathy. Some are compulsively destructive. Some are just plain outright irrational, with actions not correlating to causes in any discernable way.
Worst of all, the Hulk's dominant personality *changes*, in unpredictable ways. One day the Hulk is a simple minded outcast that just wants to be left alone. . . and then, suddenly, he decides to wage war on humanity. One day he's a stable, intelligent, nice guy. . . and then suddenly he decides to just smash everything up and kill everyone. One day, he's selfish but intelligent and rational. . . and then suddenly you have a mindless force of devastation wandering about.
I'm all for the movie version being more heroic, and more stable, than the comic often manages. If the movie version has Banner as more or less in control, with the Hulk being angry and violent, but not malicious, then that's great, and it means there's no need to do ruthless anti-Hulk measures. But the comic version? Banishing him to another planet to live his life away from people is a merciful act, because killing him outright would be totally justified.
