iconic and literally the OG version here Dr Robert Bruce Banner a brilliant American theoretical physicist renowned for his groundbreaking work in nuclear physics and gamma radiation holds a unique position in the annals of Marvel Comics recruited by General Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross and the U.S army Banner was tasked with developing the first gamma-ball an experiment that would forever alter the course of his life during a fateful live test an unforeseen event transformed him into a living personification of Rage The Incredible Hulk bathed in a massive dose of gamma rays while saving a young boy named Rick Jones from the test site Banner's existence underwent a radical metamorphosis the once mild-mannered physicist became an uncontrollable near-mindless green Behemoth driven by raw physical strength in the early days of the Hulk there was a brief attempt to make him gray but green quickly became his iconic color this change was later explained as a result of Bruce Banner's frequent use of gamma projectors which empowered The Savage green Hulk over the personas like Joe fix it while many storylines revolve around Banner's struggle to control this transformation The Hulk's fundamental desire is to be left alone contrary to the popular misconception of him being a Mindless destructive force in most portrayals banner and the Hulk have distinct personalities with the Hulk often referring to Banner as weak the Hulk's Incredible strength is directly tied to his anger making him more powerful as his temper flares and interestingly it is revealed time and again that Banner's subconscious exerts some control over the Hulk limiting his potential the evolution of the green Hulk's appearance has been notable over the years initially depicted with a straightforward flat green reflecting the characters Surly and aggressive nature as the Hulk's personality evolved into that of a petulant child throwing a tantrum his green color became more vibrant and eye-catching aligning with the comic's target audience as storytelling became more sophisticated the Hulk's coloring became nuanced featuring subtle tonal changes with the Advent of computer coloring in the 90s the hawk skin tone underwent further Transformations incorporating dark and light greens as well as Dynamic lighting effects that enhance the visual impact of the character while the green Hulk is the most well-known and frequently appearing version there have been other green incarnations such as dot green and Professor Hulk even in the immortal Hawk series the character is consistently portrayed as green additionally alternate future versions like the Maestro also sport the signature green Hue of of the Hulk Blackhawk AKA claw claw is the much more malevolent Alter Ego of Bruce Banner who embodies the raw power anger and hatred that the Hulk typically represses we are basically saying that this Hawk takes over only when the Hulk actually hulks out thus turning him completely black Claw is characterized by his glowing red scars charcoal black skin spiky white hair clawed hands and menacing red eyes setting him apart from other Hulk alter egos Klaus emergence took place during the axis comic book event where a reversal of morality affected heroes and villains alike the Hulk's loss of control over his inner rage allowed claw to seize dominance transforming him into a sadistic merciless and purely destructive entity unlike the heroic Tendencies of the Hulk when unprovoked Claw is driven solely by a desire for senseless destruction and harm to the innocent his dark and violent nature makes him a frightening adversary even for the inverted Avengers in the axis storyline alongside sharing most of the Hulk's traits claw also Wheels telekinesis further enhancing his powers in the same story arc claw effortlessly defeated a powerful lineup of Avengers showcasing his overwhelming might claws monstrous Behavior even extends to Tendencies toward cannibalism as he once nearly consumed Nova's arm without remorse or hesitation this cruelty blood thirstiness and aggression established claw as one of the most Sinister alter egos of the Hulk ultimately he was defeated through the combined efforts of the inverted Red Skull Scarlet Witch Doctor Doom Captain Steve Rogers and brother Voodoo who successfully restored the Hulk to his normal Persona the Scarlet Witch's spell ended club's Rampage and restored order among superheroes and villains it is worth noting that a version of claw also made an appearance in The Avengers Assemble TV series triggered when Hulk Unleashed his rage to the fullest orange Hulk from Earth 295 like his green counterpart the orange Hulk shares a strikingly similar appearance and immense brute strength in Uncanny X-Force issue number 19.1 the plot took a dramatic turn as the black Legion led by the orange Hulk launched a ruthless assault on the ex-terminated crew a group of Freedom Fighters led by William Striker what distinguishes this version of the Hulk is the unique origin of his powers unlike the mainstream Hulk and other gamma mutants the solar Hawks abilities stem from prolonged exposure to or bombardment with solar radiation this makes the solar Hawk strength dependent on daylight a stark contrast to the traditional narrative where the Hulk's transformation is triggered by rage however it appears unlikely that this transformation occurred by mere chance given the calculated actions at play in The Age of Apocalypse in this chaotic World Sinister forces like the dark Beast and the Sugar Man were notorious for their malevolent scientific experiments and genetic manipulation the Bruce Banner of this universe was actually known as the thing and had already met his demise years before the emergence of the solar Hulk indicating that the transformation may not have been voluntary or fully understood by the individual involved unfortunately the orange Hawk has had limited appearances in the Marvel Universe primarily focused on defending apocalypse's ship and launching an assault on Earth 295's last human settlement the Age of Apocalypse reality is complex filled with untold stories and unanswered questions further constrained by its isolation from the broader Marvel Multiverse which has made opportunities for further exploration of the solar Hawk's character and backstory rather Bleak Blue Hulk AKA Captain Universe Hulk Captain Universe is the embodiment of the unipower a cosmic Force originating from the micro versus subatomic Dimension it chooses individuals with Noble Spirits during times of Crisis granting them the powers of Captain Universe among its temporary hosts was Bruce Banner in Captain Universe number one Hulk Captain Universe intervenes preventing banners transformation into the Hulk reducing him to a voice in Banner's head and guiding him towards Dr Gilbert Wiles an authority on the unipower when wiles's assistant David Barnes attempts to steal the unipower from Banner a blast of Delta radiation surfaces alter entering banner and the Hawks positions relative to the unipower this resulted in a bright blue hawk with torn white pants who briefly emerged as one of the most potent Hulk incarnations the unipower bonds with Banner initially while he remains green turning him blue in response to attacks in providing a cosmic boost the Captain Universe Hulk or the blue Hulk is a short-lived but immensely powerful version of the character despite its potential the unipower is temporarily driven from the Hulk by aim agents but later rebonds with him turning him blue again the blue Hulk gains vast Cosmic abilities including flight telepathy energy manipulation time travel reality warping and Universal matter manipulation however the unipower eventually leaves the Hulk offering only a brief glimpse of this immensely powerful Incarnation and illustrating the incredible potential of a cosmic-powered Hulk anyways so the blue Hulk overwhelms his adversaries declaring himself the strongest one there is before departing when the unipower transfers to Daredevil purple Hulk the purple Hulk ties with the devil Hulk when standing out as one of the Hulk's most menacing incarnations introduced in 2012's Avengers issue number 24. the purple Hulk was none other than Norman Osborne the infamous Spider-Man villain known as the Green Goblin after the secret Invasion by the Scrolls shattered trust in existing institutions Osborne cunningly replaced Nick Fury's shield with his own Hammer organization exposed during the siege of Asgard as a maniacal despot Osborne was forced into hiding but retain considerable support he re-emerged with the backing of terrorist groups like a Hydra in the hand along with disgrace Shield agent Carolina Washington who had gathered genetic information on key Avengers Washington's work allowed Osborne to create super-powered soldiers including spider hulks an invisible giant men however Osborne possessed the most potent abilities equipped with super adaptoid technology he could absorb and replicate Powers through touch after absorbing the abilities of his dark Avengers and division Osborne absorb the powers of the Red Hulk leading to his transformation into the purple Hulk The Avengers aim to overload Osborne's Powers by granting him too many abilities although Spider Woman and the protector attempted this it was the new Avengers who finally caused the purple Hulk's body to crumble intriguingly Osborne's appearance resembled the Fantastic Four's thing during this final confrontation potentially due to Cosmic radiation imbalance rather than just power overload it should be noted that in the 1996 adaptation of the Incredible Hulk animated series The Dark Hulk took on more of a purple Hue when possessed by an extraterrestrial being named hybrid greyhawk AKA Joe Fixit the Hulk's original appearance featured him in his intended color of gray however due to the limitations of printing technology at the time the precise shade of gray couldn't be consistently reproduced this led to the decision to change the Hulk's color to Green in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Incredible Hulk issue number two nevertheless the gray Hulk made a return in 1984's The Incredible Hulk issue number 324 eventually becoming the regular form of the Hawks Joe Fix It Persona in the evolution of the Hulk's character Joe fix it played a notable role during the 80s and 90s under the guidance of writer Peter David this Incarnation deviated significantly from the traditional Hulk archetype Joe Fixit a Las Vegas Gambler and MOB enforcer embodied a unique facet of Bruce Banner's personality tied to the childhood trauma he endured unlike the green Hulk he exhibited traits of trickery manipulation and a lack of concern for others reflecting his morally ambiguous nature the gray Hulk's transformation initially occurred subconsciously at night when Bruce Banner felt shame for the darker thoughts and actions represented by Joe Fixit over time Banner gained more control over the transformation allowing it to be triggered by willpower or stress while physically weaker Joe Fix It compensated with his resourcefulness intelligence and Firepower his distinctive appearance reminiscent of Boris karloff's Frankenstein's monster and behavior akin to a
