Themanofbat said: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)
