The Official Hulk Thread...

[Kirk Langstrom]

I can see where Bendis thinks this, and while I would even be inclined to agree to a certain point that when huge catastrophic events have occured on Earth in Marvel's history, there might have been some civilian casualties; ie when Namor sends a tsunami at New York, Doom lifts the Baxter buliding into space (twice)... fallen debris may have hurt or killed someone, random strat bullets and bombs aimed at Spider-Man, DareDevil, or any other hero, miscellaneous Hulk rampages near cities, etc...

Logically, after 10 years of Marvel time where all these events have occured and more, it's within the realm of possibility that civilian casualties have occured. Heck, maybe they should have sent Namor into space as well thereby preventing further attacks from Atlantis...

The point being is that all these Marvel heroes/characters are not killers... none of them have killed innocents. So the Illuminati's logic of sending the Hulk into space is somewhat flawed. If people left him alone, he'd live out his life peacefully in some remote place.

However, they needed a reason to get him on "Planet Hulk", so I'm not complaining.... at the moment.

Just my two cents...

Well sure, casualities COULD have happened, but the fact is that in regards to the Hulk, in past continuity, casualities did NOT in fact happen. And that's my beef. However logically, or illogically one wants to look at it, the Hulk's rampages never resulted in anyone dying.

Im hoping Greg Pak will have the balls to stand up to Bendis on this one, and when the Hulk inevitabley returns, establish that it was just a frame up being used to discredit him and have him removed from Earth.


Incidentally; If that Namor/tsunami incident you are referring to was from the Golden Age Human Torch vs Namor book, then no, there were no casualties then either....the people of NYC hid in the subways and sealed themselves in, iirc. (keep in mind this was written around 1940 or so, lol)

I mean come on, NO ONE gets hurt when a building falls or is demolished in all of 10 years while all of this is happening? Really...even for a comic, that's illogical.

No more illogical than a man getting caught in a nuclear blast and turning into a green skinned monster instead of being completely vaporized, i'd say, lol.

 

[THEBIGBAD]

I hope it's She-Hulk. Didn't she question the whereabouts of Bruce Banner to begin with?
Or shouldn't someone have done that a long time ago, considering Hulk causes alot of damage to public property and some casualties too. People should be saying "Stark, why aren't you going after Banner?"

what did she-hulk say about banner being gone?I don't read she-hulk so can someone tell me thx.

 

[Darthphere]

Well the leader of the Green Cross was at her wedding and told her that things have cooled down since Hulk hasnt been seen in months and Jen seems to wonder for a few seconds about that. Seemed like set-up.

Well, I did say "...even for a comic".

Yeah, it was tocuhed upon in She-Hulk.

How so Darth?

It wasn't a nuclear device in the conventional sense. It was a gamma bomb designed by Banner. It apparently emitted only gamma radiation not a blast. It seems to be the neutron bomb idea.

Couple of posts up.

The neutron bomb theoretically vaporizes the populace, but leaves the buildings standing, iirc.

 

[Silicon Surfer]

No, the neutron bomb kills everyone with radiation poisoning and leaves the buildings standing...and the cockroaches.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Isn't all this just mincing words? Bruce still didn't wind up with radiation poisoning. He wound up turning into a green, 7-foot behemoth.

While I'd usually defend continuity and the Hulk (favorite hero), this is just faulty logic. Any story sets a few ground rules. We are asked to believe that the Hulk exists because of the gamma rays, and that's fine. That's the story. However we're also asked to believe that this happened in a reality not much different than ours. A reality where if a rampaging monster destroyed a city like Las Vegas, quite a few people would die. Any story, as fantastic and far-fetched as it is, must stick to some rules.

It has to work like that. What if The Joker started flying one day? Couldn't you say the same thing? "Well this a world where Superman exists, it's not that far-fetched?"
