The Strongest Hulk Vs The Marvel Universe! (Planet Hulk/World War Hulk: Full Story)

what's going on guys this is Rob if you guys enjoy my content make sure you hit the subscribe button and make sure you hit that little bell so you never miss out on my sexy voice so by the time you guys are watching this video I'll be in California and I was trying to figure out what kind of content I was going to make this week and so what you'll see down in the description is a temporary schedule for this week and this is gonna serve two purposes the first is just to provide content for you guys a lot of you all really really loved incredible hulks so I figured I'd just do like a lot of incredible hoax stuff specifically we're gonna be covering the entirety of the Planet Hulk event the other half of this is to see whether or not you guys were watching Hulk videos because you just wanted to see him kill the superheroes if you guys are genuinely interested in everything involving the Hulk if you only cared about the origin of a son it's really just a test to see what people are interested in what they're not interested in how many of you guys will watch the entire Planet Hulk versus just one single video it's really just kind of an experiment on my part you guys are my guinea pigs so I'm really just kind of experimenting here but for those of you guys who saw the Planet Hulk animated series or who have looked up the story online or something like that the first volume I'm really like exile it's kind of like the main story like that's the main Planet Hulk thing where he becomes a gladiator and he goes against the Silver Surfer that's the kind of thing we'll be covering here in this video the things that follow after that are all the it's like one giant prologue really that sets the stage for the world war hulk event for him coming back to earth um a lot of the stuff that we'll talk about in the prologue is really what's discussed during the guests during our videos on the origin of the Incredible Hulk son of the origin of scar now to lead into this proper to really get a I guess a firm grasp of what's going on um there was a prelude to this but the prelude is not really necessary the only thing we need to know is that there was a conflict whereby Bruce Banner had transformed into Joe fixa that's his gray form of the Incredible Hulk and he had gone on a rampage in Las Vegas and the result was that he did go against Ben Grimm uh he did go against a few superheroes here and there and where is it you know those individuals had tried to bring him back the problem with this was that after the event was finished the Fantastic Four and really the earth superheroes had come to the realization that the Incredible Hulk was just too impulsive he was just too unpredictable to control now this was a decision that was largely made by the Illuminati now Marvel Comics in terms of chronology the Illuminati or I guess in terms of publication history rather the Illuminati are relatively new they were a creation by Brian michael bendis i think and they were a new introduction but it was a retcon a retroactive continuity meaning that Brian Michael Bendis created the Illuminati and then wrote their stories in a way so that they had been here the entire time they have been in existence since the early days of Marvel Comics and chronologically they date all the way back to the kree-skrull war now we don't need to get into the depths of the kree-skrull war but suffice it to say they're two alien races that have been fighting for millions and millions of years and their conflict had eventually come close to the planet Earth and because it stretched the planet Earth because it almost impacted the earth the decision was made by Reed Richards by dr. strange black hole of the Inhumans Charles Xavier Iron Man Tony Stark to basically form a group among themselves to safeguard the planet Earth and they would basically operate in secret nobody would know that they existed the idea was that they would basically protect the earth from any threat that they found that was either you know from beyond the earth or within the earth itself now the kicker to all this is that in original sin we learn Nick Fury had already been doing this Nick Fury was the man on the wall the way these two things reconcile is that they didn't know about each other at the very least Nick Fury knew about these Illuminati but chose not to do anything but the Illuminati did not know that Nick Fury was the man on the wall so this really shows how secretive Nick Fury was but the idea of the Illuminati was to basically trick I the Incredible Hulk Nick Fury went to him with a scenario saying well in the Cold War there was a satellite that was launched by the Russians it was supposed to be a spy satellite Hydra had basically taken control of it they had installed an artificial intelligence that AI began to evolve over the course of the last you know 50 years or however long it's been and eventually it took over the the satellite the issue with this was that the satellite was designed for the purpose to detonate nuclear missiles and so if this satellites not destroyed a Hydra can use it to detonate on nuclear weapons anywhere in the world and potentially lead to a worldwide crisis and really the extinction of humanity and so what they did is they went to banner and said hey we need you to become the Incredible Hulk we need you to go to the satellite we need you to destroy it and then come back the kicker was that once he got up there while he did fight this artificial intelligence the entire situation turned out to be a ruse the Illuminati tricked him onto the ship with the intention of sending him off to the far side of the galaxy away from the planet Earth now we'll learn a little bit more about what their plan was but what Greg Pak did with us is he just immediately picked up with the conflict he immediately picked up with the incredible survival now and The Incredible Hulk ended up landing on a planet called Sekar now as we know from our story of the origin of the Incredible Hulk son the story of Skaar we learned that these portals were created by an existing inhabitant on Sekar for the purpose of bringing individuals to the planet that could basically cast off the ruling body of the Red King they could cast them off from all their threats and allow the people to live in freedom and so this is why the Incredible Hulk fell through this portal it had already been generated and he just ended up deviating into it just because of the fact that it had a gravitational pull but once he arrives of course the Incredible Hulk does what the Incredible Hulk does he just starts tearing stuff up this is why I love The Incredible Hulk in this story is it's like it's like this it's like you just radiates power you know and it's like this hidden power that no one really seems to grasp I don't know about you guys but I love that concept I love that ideology that feeling when there's like a being present in a story and no one realizes how powerful they are and you're just waiting like heroes you're just waiting for like you're just waiting for [ __ ] to pop off basically for things to just hit the fan and it's like now everybody realizes how powerful he is and people are like oh my god these powerful like like this that's the kind of thing I love in comic books absolutely I adore that idea hopefully you guys do too but when he arrives here of course he ends up going against the indigenous species and there really isn't much of a conflict here between those guys and himself but after he arrives here he's also set upon by the imperial guard of the Red King and like all individuals who crash-landed on this planet he is bound with an obedience disk now we're gonna go ahead and cheat a little bit on under normal circumstances we would wait until that part of the story to get into it but we can go ahead and cheat here and cover this a little bit the obedience disk is a device that's planted on an individual and it quite literally interfaces with their brain not in the sense of mind control but in the sense that they're basically bound to follow the obedience disk by fear of pain and if they if they fight against the obedience disk too long it'll basically fry their brain it'll destroy every ounce of what makes them who they are and it'll just turn them into a mindless walking being we'll actually see what happens with a few heroes or a few characters but when they fought the obedience disk too hard but almost immediately after Hulk is bound with this disk he's taken to this sort of auction house to these gladiatorial games now what pack does here is he basically takes the traditional idea of Roman society and gladiator games and folds them over into this now for those of you guys who don't know and I wouldn't call myself a history buff when it comes to the gladiatorial games in realm but I think I know enough that I can make a convincing explanation who are a reasonable explanation here um the gladiatorial games existed in two forms one as a source of entertainment and two as a way to distract the Roman people from the problems of Roman society but the gladiatorial games were a huge event I mean it was a massive thing it was like it was like if the entire United States became involved in the Super Bowl like everybody went to the Super Bowl like that's what the gladiatorial games were like and it was just some of the best fighters from across all of Rome in all of its different territories but it wasn't like every single fighter just went to the gladiatorial games you had to work your way up you had to start at the bottom at local gladiator competitions and then work your way to the very top to be in a gladiatorial games so again it's much like the Super Bowl in the sense that you've got the regular-season then you've got the postseason and so when it comes to the Incredible Hulk here of course you know when he's initially displayed before the Red King the red King's not really too surprised by what he sees in terms of just the Hulk breaking out of his out of his [ __ ] but what does impress the Red King is the ruthlessness of the Hulk now right now at this moment this is not world break or Hulk I mean you know Bruce Banner is mad you know banners pissed he's very very angry but he's nowhere near the level that he will be with with world war hulk it's insane how powerful he is during world war hulk but the very gist of this is that upon his initial arrival he basically just starts taking - and and ripping up these various foes that go against him now he also encounters meek for the very first time now meek will become a very important character with regards to the Planet Hulk mythos but you know once Banner basically begins to realize what's going on once he you know realizes that he's basically in a gladiatorial game you know once meek basically says hey you know we're fighting for the enjoyment of the Red King and we're fighting for the enjoyment of the people he realizes the Red King is the one that's running the show here and so Hulk's initial reaction is alright let's kill the Red King let's call it a day and then I can find a way to go home but the red Kingsguard Kyra immediately steps in now as we know she's going to be a major figure in the post exile landscape for the Planet Hulk event but in this immediate moment right here she's basically just the guard she's basically like the top guy hard for the Red King himself now there is a lot of history between the two of them but initially the Red King says no no no do not take him out I will fight the Incredible Hulk myself this is cool to me because the Red King had no idea what he was going against he didn't know the savagery of the Hulk he didn't know the strength of the Hulk and this proves itself in the sense that when the two go head-to-head the o Banner takes the sword and just slashes the Red King across the face now this is an offense that would usually guarantee death just because of the fact that whenever you deal with any monarchy in history if anyone ever assaults the ruling person or the ruling family they're almost immediately killed but for the Red King himself he also realizes the benefit that would come with the Incredible Hulk in the sense that if the Hulk is allowed to fight the whole can draw a lot of people in the hoping keep a lot of people distracted from the main war and the main rebellion the Red King has going on here as well as the other plans that he has taking place in the background of course we'll learn more about that but the idea here is that when the Hulk's guard is basically down you know he's suddenly attacked from behind by the Red King his Kyra tries to take him out and the Red King celebration so this is actually really important because what this does is this lays the groundwork for the relationship between Kyra and The Incredible Hulk in the sense that neo and when she says this is not your planet he says well not yet and as a person who's extremely honorable whose honor bound to the Red King himself the Kyra is also a warrior at heart and she realizes it recognizes another warrior as well and so I wouldn't go as far as to say that the two have immediately fallen in love I will say that with gray pack the progress towards the two of them falling in love is basically beginning with this first encounter now from here we sidetrack for a second and we actually pick up with some highborn or at least people who are part of a part of the Imperial race that rules a planet and when it comes to Sekar you have like an imperial race but not everybody is Imperial in the sense that they do not have the same rights and privileges as the existing Red King or any of his immediate surroundings those individuals that are part of his inner circle the reason behind this is because some of these individuals do not believe in the Red King and they basically operate as rebels now with the arrival of the Incredible Hulk they look at him as the sac arson the son of Sekar the man that is supposed to come to the planet and liberate them of their oppression and so the idea here is for them to basically grab the Incredible Hulk heaven on their behalf become part of the rebellion and cast off the Red King now from here we transition to a place called the MA now the MA initially came off as a prison that was my first thought when I saw it but the MA is actually like a proving ground it is a training ground for those individuals who are going to be part of the gladiatorial games and this is what I say the Red King didn't immediately have the Incredible Hulk killed granted and he was hoping the Incredible Hulk would die here at the mall but the idea was that you know if he survives and he'll go on to become part of the gladiatorial games now the guy who's basically running the show here was a former member of the gladiatorial games he was a guy that fought in the gladiatorial games and worked his way to freedom and the way this is done is you basically fight all the way to the top you win three rounds and then you're pardoned by the Red King that's why this exists the way it does because they're literally all fighting for their own individual freedom now while this happens or at least while they're in this mom they're basically pit against one another as well as some various forces that happen to be around there and it's really just thinning the herd I mean that that's that's really all Greg Pak is doing here Greg patch is saying hey there's like this huge population of prisoners in the MOC they're all gonna fight each other and then you know whoever's left whoever's left alive are gonna be the ones that basically become like the gladiator team and this is what happened we basically have like you know this war bound being formed we have the Incredible Hulk we have chord we have meek we have Loa and a few others we have here om we have basically these guys that come together as the last surviving seven now the kicker to this is that they're not technically war bound yet within the realm of a Planet Hulk event war bound is a practice made among warriors those individuals that would fight for one another to the death in order to make sure that you know if they do die they die well they die with honor they would never sacrifice each other they would never give up on one another they they basically hold the closest of allegiances now this again is going to be a very important thing with World War Hulk because a lot of these guys actually traveled back with him toward war Hulk but this is really just you know initially all of them sitting down and saying hey guys let's have this big powwow let's tell our stories and let's you know let's make s'mores and I love s'mores like listen I get so distracted so he's a hashtag a DD so um they're basically always kind of like hanging out there they're telling their own individual stories this is Greg pack basically saying the Hulk does not consider himself to be a regular guy here now is actually really cool for the evolution of his character because for Bruce Banner being on this planet all he's doing is just biding his time until he leaves it's much like you saw with the animated series there are some big differences but this is one of the similarities in the sense that Banner does not see himself as a guy that's gonna be here for the long haul he doesn't see himself as a guy that used to form alliances you know he's just kind of like hey look we'll fight together if we have to but when it comes down to it if you guys die I don't care I just want to get off this planet and so what we do is we basically pick up with day two now day two you gives us the the former allies of pork the crazy thing about this is that Korg is one of several individuals who had basically arrived on the planet forced here by one of those portals well he basically operated as a man of his own individual will so to speak the other people that were alongside him basically fought against their obedience disks and because of this their brains were essentially fried now when we saw in Planet Hulk animated thing this was part of the main gladiatorial games in the story that's not the case they're still in training basically they're still in the MA itself and so you know we're core does not initially want to find his allies the Incredible Hulk says hey man get it together you know either you're going to fight here or you're going to die here you know these guys are mindless they're not your friends anymore as far as you're concerned they're just dudes here that are in the way of you getting your freedom and so because of this Korg is basically able to pull it together and they officially become the 18 they're there basically I guess team a is kind of what they refer to you but they prove themselves in the Maul and so at this point it's really just small-time gladiatorial games it's really just small-time things you know it's it's small bits here and there where they basically prove their worth as capable fighters and they successfully do that you know they're able to prove their worth they're able to show that when it comes down to it they have exactly what it takes to be legitimate gladiators the other half of this is that the Red King is met with a conversation over their communication devices from Kyra she basically says hey look The Incredible Hulk has people talking you know up until this point it's been well maybe somebody will win maybe they'll die there's you know it's really been just more for watching the entertainment of people but the Incredible Hulk is inspiring open rebellion and the reason why is because those rebels who are out out there on the fence those rebels who were plotting you know to overthrow the the Red King we're waiting for their Savior you know corner unquote to come and when he did he came in the form of the Incredible Hulk and so now they're far more brazen than they have been and they're taking a lot more risks than they had been case-in-point maybe we break into the cells of the Incredible Hulk and the other gladiators they say Hulk come fight for us you know come come fight on our behalf help us overthrow the Red King now the funny thing about this is that hook says no he says no no no I don't want to have anything to do with this now hope as we know by this point has a bigger plan he has a more grandiose plan but even then you know despite the fact that this is hope he's not stupid he doesn't have the brain of Bruce Banner but he's still relatively intelligent at this point and in his mind he realizes that if they go with these guys in open rebellion these rebels are not going to make it these rebels are not going to survive they're likely going to be captured or they're gonna be killed possibly even both but the best way for the Incredible Hulk to gain is freedom and to kill the Red King is to work within the system this is really kind of cool here because LOA sides with the rebels and of course she's taken prisoner by the wild BOTS and so the idea is well you know maybe she's gonna be killed maybe she's gonna be cast out no one really knows now switching over to one of the other guys what he basically says is look she's not going to be a survivor and the reason why is because every single time a member of their race is taken by the Red King they disappear they basically just vanished into a black bag somewhere and no one knows where they go to and so this is really just more of a of a scenario where we're essentially learning that the Red King is killing off anybody that could be legitimate competition now from here we have Greg pack basically jumping back to the idea of tire herself and the romantic tension between herself and Bruce Banner this is actually really kind of cool because you know I wouldn't say again that she's very much in love but I would say that she looks at him as something better than he is she looked at him as something great but somebody that could potentially lead into a much better future not only that she basically says hey look if you make it out of here alive I wouldn't mind touching naughty bits a couple times ah that's weird but you know that's that's kind of where her character stands at the moment so what we do is we basically pick up with the Incredible Hulk and his warbound in the Big Time games and the great big huge deal here now again you know for this part this is really just them fighting their way through the ranks and they're proving to be capable but this is really just them fighting their way through the ranks the issue with this is that these wild BOTS they're going against are very very capable in term taking people out a lot of it being because of the fact that they won against the the spikes and the spikes of course will about here in a little bit that's a whole different kettle of beans it's part of this grandiose plan to the Red King had to basically can't sort of put himself in power but from here they actually begin going about telling legitimate stories about themselves they really delve more into who they are once this massive battle is finished and once they go back to their ranks or go back to their position as being gladiators and we learned therefore you know korg for example he had arrived on earth and he had basically been challenged by Thor and Thor had used his hammer and single-handedly taking them all out we know with it with Bruce Banner he actually reveals his backstory to them tells them everything about himself again this is really just them kind of coming together and this is when they officially form themselves as a warbound now again with the warbound what this means is that they are an official alliance now it means that they will never give the other up it means that no matter what happens they will fight alongside each other and either they they succeed either they live together or they die together but they'll never turn each other in and they'll never assassinated or do anything to cut the other now we're gonna find some complications with this but what we also learned here is that essentially this Silver Surfer has been held captive or been been taken by the Red King and is being held as their champion in the gladiatorial ring now the funny thing about this is the Silver Surfer it just more or less been pushed into the situation you're sort of been just fell through that particular portal and arrived here was immediately planted with an obedience disk and so because of this the Silver Surfer is also bound by this disc and forced to do the bidding of the Red King as part of the gladiator games and so this really leads us to this idea that the Incredible Hulk and his warbound are basically at the top they're on the cusp of reaching their freedom all they have to do is defeat the reign champion this silver surfer now when the surfer appears here no one else knows who he is they don't know the significance of the Silver Surfer now this is kind of ironic because for almost every organized civilization where the Silver Surfer appears Galactus is soon to follow Galactus is not far behind that's why whatever a lot of societies see the Silver Surfer they immediately panic and they just bail out they just they just jump in their ships and they vacate the planet because they know this is likely due to the fact that Galactus is coming to consume their planet the fact that these guys don't know this is kind of ironic in addition to this the Silver Surfer if it wasn't planted with disobedience disk would just immediately obliterate all the forces here he would basically annihilate every single last one of them but the Incredible Hulk knows who the Silver Surfer is now actually goes all the way back to the days of dr. Strange's defenders when the Incredible Hulk and the Silver Surfer fought side-by-side as allies and so it's not like the incredible folks like hey I recognize that guy I've seen him before it's I have fought alongside that guy you know I know who that guy is he's a Silver Surfer you know if anybody can give us our freedom it's him now the Silver Surfer of course because he's bound by this obedience disk immediately attached The Incredible Hulk you know and this is kind of funny because Banner says well you're just like all of them now this again shows us the psychotic state of Bruce Banner the fact that he's really more irrational than anything else because remember in his heart of hearts right now he's swearing vengeance against the Illuminati right now he's just mad you know right now he's just angry like they screwed me over they cheated me you know I'll get revenge on them at some point along the line now we'll learn that the plan of Bruce Banner actually changes the Oh after the events that are getting ready to happen here but in his mind he's still angry at the Illuminati because he feels like he's been tricked what's happening right here this small scene with the Silver Surfer attacking The Incredible Hulk this is the story of his life The Incredible Hulk makes friends the friends of Incredible Hulk turn on him and then the Incredible Hulk goes into hiding and refuses to trust those friends again except you replace those friends with humanity and a multitude of heroes and it's the Hulk's life over and over and over again now a lot of times this is due to the fact that the Hulk just didn't understand what was going on didn't grasp the full context of the situation but in his mind right now you know he's like the Silver Surfer is attacking me the silver surfers just like everybody else and so because of this he immediately takes it to the Silver Surfer now this is kind of cool here because what Greg Pak is telling us is that one on one when it comes to sheer strength the unbridled strength to the Incredible Hulk is dominant over the Silver Surfer but the other half of this is we also have to kind of ask the question if the Silver Surfer wanted to could he take out the Incredible Hulk the answer to that question is unequivocally yes now if it's world war hulk that poses a different question because what we're hope is very very capable in terms of his durability his strength but it requires that he gets his hands on the Silver Surfer so the Silver Surfer Gerdes kind of you know stay out of arms reach and just constantly bombard him with cosmic energy and eventually if the incredible hope would probably be killed but at the very least in this in the context of this situation The Incredible Hulk is just lashing I mean just tearing into the Silver Surfer now this is about as close as he gets to world break or Hulk during the planet hooker this is about as close as he gets to being as strong as he was during the World War Hulk event but it's also kind of ironic here because the more he loses it and the more that he pummels the Silver Surfer the more terrified people become because of how powerful he is and the reason why is because the only context that these viewers these these citizens have had with regards to the strength of the Silver Surfer is the fact that he's beaten everybody up to this point and so the Incredible Hulk rising up to this level no one ever had any idea of just how strong he was but the fact that he's able to beat the reigning champion into submission and into the extreme is mind-blowing and so because of the fact that the Silver Surfer is essentially defeated the warbound and the Incredible Hulk say look we've we played your game we won your game give us our freedom but what happens is Kyra basically uses the instance of the Incredible Hulk slash in the face of the Red King to say okay you have one final test and your final test is to kill Loa and the other rebels who tried to stand against the Red King now the kicker to this is that Kyra kind of knows how this is gonna play out to a degree she knows that there are members of the warbound who are not going to kill Loa they don't want to kill one of their own even if Ella way had walked out they still have honor for her as an honorable fighter and so they refuse to kill her in response to this the idea is either you kill her or you're going back and you're gonna be in the gladiatorial games until you do they would literally just keep her around keep her alive until the Incredible Hulk in his warbound were willing to kill her otherwise they would just stay in the gladiatorial games but in response to this because of the fact that the Incredible Hulk had destroyed the obedience disk of the Silver Surfer and no one had noticed the Silver Surfer uses his power cosmic to destroy the obedience discs on the chest of every body in the entire kingdom this is kind of the kicker because what this tells us is this is how the red King's been maintaining his power the Red King has not been maintaining his power through loyalty he's been maintaining his power through force now there there are individuals like higher you know who do not have obedience discs planted on her just because of the fact that she does willingly swear absolute allegiance to him because she's honour bound to do so we'll find out why later on but the gist behind this is with all these people free the question is what do we do now I mean we have freedom like what do we do and the Incredible Hulk says where we do the only thing that makes sense we just start ripping [ __ ] off does you know he alongside the other guys tear down the gladiatorial stadium and they basically say we're free let's go they basically walk away now initially the Silver Surfer says hey man if you want I can take you back to earth and The Incredible Hulk says no I'm staying here I've basically found a place that I can call my own because the Incredible Hulk looks at the world that he's in right now he looks at the situation they said and he says hey look I can basically form a life for myself you know if those guys on earth don't trust me you know then fine I'll just stay here and I'll make this world mine you know I will operate outside of them I have followers I have people who trust me people who were honorbound to me The Incredible Hulk has found more loyalty here on Sekar than he's ever found over the course of his life on earth and so for him there's no reason to go back I am NOT a patient man I've never been a patient man I've never had patients from the time that I was a little kid up until right now when I want something I don't want it now I want it right now like I don't I don't like waiting I hate waiting on things and I've been reading through Planet Hulk and I was like hmm I can't wait to do World War Hulk sounds like you know we're gonna do we're gonna cover like everything in this video on Planet hope we're gonna cover all the rest of the stuff that way we can jump into World War Hulk because World War Hawk is stupidly good it is it's insane how good it is so following the events of our first video really like the first volume the plan hook of end really began - it was really Greg Pak taking this traditional standard on a multi-part series in the sense that um you really had like in the beginning you basically have the stage being set that's usually how the first story arc goes it sets the stage it says hey here's the status quo and then there will be some kind of major conflict and what that conflict will do is it will eliminate the existing status quo and it'll begin a transition to the new status quo and that's exactly what happened in our first video you know to kind of provide a little bit of a refresher there for the first video it was really just the Incredible Hulk being sent away from the planet Earth by the Illuminati because he was deemed too unpredictable he crashed landed on Sekar he was basically press-ganged into the gladiatorial games and then eventually rose up against the Red King alongside the Silver Surfer now the kicker about all this is that following the Incredible Hulk essentially defeating the immediate armies of the red and going out into saqar proper he of course had his warbound cord in Alloway and so on but the idea was that his actions had inspired open rebellion among everybody else like all these slaves from across the planet who were subservient to the Red King had looked to the Incredible Hulk as an example of the fact that they could attain their own freedom whether it was through force or otherwise and so in response to this the Red King did the only thing he knew how to do the Red King used force in order to try to maintain his control now the cool thing about all this was that kyra his shadow a member of the old strong didn't really know the full spectrum of everything that had been going on instead from her mind she was a child being groomed to understand how the old power worked ought to be great being groomed to understand what her place was going to be as a warrior among her own group the issue with this was that at some point along the line was she was a young girl the spikes had suddenly attacked her village and it resulted in the Red King basically you know allowing the conflict to take place and then turning around and finding out who she was and then taking her as his own now what Greg Pak is doing here is Greg Pak is using a really cool instance of something called game theory and it works out really really well with regards to this story so game theory is is literally just using like mathematical probability to determine the logical action that people will take a really good example of this ruckus and this particular instance he's using something as like a leader so um to sidetrack for a second and bear with me here because this may seem kind of out of left field but let's say that like you're the leader of a territory right let's say you're like the leader of the United States of whatever your name is the United States of comics explain let's say you're the leader of the United States of Commerce explain and you learn that another country is going to attack you well you have three options are available to you you can let the attack happen you can stop the attack beforehand or you can attack them before they attack you now the idea here is under normal circumstances to attack them before they attack you or defend against the attack make preparations to keep your people safe but if you did either of those it would alert the enemy to what it is that you're doing and so what you can do is you can let the attack happen and then in turn your people will rally under you it's it's one of the concepts of game theory but the idea here is that the Red King did exactly that the Red King had a motive here the Red King was a child he was an emperor he wasn't really viewed as being someone that could be an effect leader and so what he needed was someone at his side that could basically maintain the level of protection that he needed but could also allow him to a half others look to him as a legitimate leader and by going to one of the oldest races in the entirety of sukar's history and essentially allowing an attack on their group to happen and then turning around and capturing the strongest of them it forged an allegiance by force as opposed to you know diplomacy or something like that but the basis behind this entire revelation who was that Kyra had learned that the spikes were implemented by the Red King himself it was until the spiked system we just arrived in her village and attacked her this has been orchestrated by the Red King now something else to point out here is the Red King did not engineer the spikes instead within the Marvel Universe the spice existed as basically like a sentient organism and they literally just fed on cosmic energy they would just traverse the spaceways and they would feed on energy the problem with this was that during the rule of the red King's father the spikes had landed and then were eventually eliminated or removed from the planet by the red King's father they were essentially sent to the moon the problem with this is that while they stayed in stasis for some time and they ended up turning to cannibalism in order to survive the Red King harnessed the spikes for his own uses and the Red King basically used the spikes to essentially get rid of communities that had worked against him to get rid of communities that were not functioning the way that he wanted them to or not recognizing his rule as being legitimate but in learning about this akai era had effectively turned against the Red King she had turned against him realizing that he was not an ally that he was an enemy now the lights that he was willing to go to to try to defeat those who were standing against him was a such an extreme that he was actually willing to wipe out all life on the planet if it meant that nobody would challenge him and so because of this because of the fact that he was so extreme because he was so dangerous because of the fact that he had basically destroyed her people kierra had turned against the Red King and allied herself with the Incredible Hulk and so what happened is Kyra alongside the Hulk as well as the remnants of the warbound basically went through and cut a swath and I know you guys I know you guys when I say that kind of swath through the entirety of the red King's army eventually leading to his defeat now in this original story the way Greg pack did it was presumed that the Red King had been killed but of course as we learned with regards to the the origin of scar himself as The Incredible Hulk son now the Red King didn't die the Red King and said was basically beaten to the of death and then eventually brought back by his own wild BOTS but what the story does what these have been to do is they effectively pick up with the Incredible Hulk alongside Kiera essentially creating their own way and informing their own Kingdom and the remnants of the Red Kings rule now the funny thing about this is with the Incredible Hulk and Kyra they're almost one in the same in terms of how they view things in a sense that care has been raised to be a warrior and so she's the very definition of a warrior in truth she's really more akin to Thor than anybody else but in the confines of this particular story um she wants peace to a degree but she's also Anil has no qualms killing those that get in her way and The Incredible Hulk is the exact same way but the other half of this coin is that when the Incredible Hulk first showed up on Sekar as part of the Planet Hulk event he wanted to leave he didn't want to have anything to do with these guys here he didn't want to have anything to do with forming a war bound or basically leading the inhabitants to salvation but the way this worked is that he was viewed as essentially being thus a Carson that is to say basically the savior of Sekar whenever he bled it ended up growing plants on the surface and so it really allowed these civilizations that were here to look at him as quite literally their messianic figure a guy that was going to lead them into a much greater tomorrow now eventually the Incredible Hulk actually takes this role on alongside with higher and he basically looks at himself as a king with her as his queen more so than that he's also met with meek now the cool thing about this when it comes to Meeks character is he basically helps some of his people who have been held captive to escape into freedom but in the process had actually undergone this transformation basically making him the king and allowing him to get with their queen and do what they do in order to create offspring um the Queen's not much to look at but it works within the confines of their own race here but the other half of this is that they're very much in the middle of cleaning up here they're very much in the middle of getting everything sorted out now with regards to the conversation between the incredible Hogan Kyra this is why I say it's such an important part of his character is because when he takes her and they go on somewhat of a journey where they go to basically like the steps of Sekar which is this sort of proving ground slash you know peaceful a harmonic place the two of them begin to talk and The Incredible Hulk says that all he was bred for is destruction I mean when when the incredible hole existed on earth all he did was just destroy things now again a lot of this was because the Incredible Hulk wanted to be left alone but it didn't change the fact that the Incredible Hulk always was destructive by nature hits the reason he was sent away by the Illuminati whenever he looks at the entire history of his time on Sekar he looks at the events ads they've unfolded throughout the entire Planet Hulk event all he sees is a continuation of the pattern that he had on earth in that wherever he goes destruction will follow him but kyra looks at him and says this is not the case when you bleed it grows plant life and look at the life that you've created he's basically restore the planet he's in the process of terraforming the planet just because of his blood and so what he's done is he's given all the civilizations on Sekar hope he's given them a future to look forward to and because of this his life while on earth he may very well have been a force of destruction on Sekar he's a savior in every ounce of the word now this is huge for the Incredible Hulk and this is why Greg packs writing a Planet Hulk is so good because we've never really seen an instance like this as one of reasons why I love The Incredible Hulk we'd never seen him written in such a way to where he was more of a savior than a destroyer now a lot of that was because of the fact that you know within the confines of his role on earth he was just kind of a bumbling buffoon that was it was he was a bull in a china shop there's really the best way to describe the Incredible Hulk on earth and it worked in a lot of situations because we have to see him go against some various you know heroes and you know even more so with villains it was kind of like well if things aren't going our way calling the whole kill solve our problem then we'll send him away it was it was really interesting in how it was done but it didn't add a lot of character depth the most stuff we ever really got it was during Peter David's run when it came to the incredible hoax history his abusive father so on and so forth and why the whole persona manifested when banner was blasted with gamma rays but that was about it there was really no huge exploration into his character the cool thing about this though is that we get that in this story we get so much depth with regards to the Incredible Hulk the I guess to such an extreme that he actually changes his tune you know he tells Kyra yeah you're right you know I am a savior here I am a person here that can literally lead all these different races to a much better tomorrow and so he along side higher and everybody else here begins the process of cleaning up begins the process of getting things sorted out now what we also learned is that there is some trouble in paradise you know there are individuals that look at the Incredible Hulk Loa especially and says he's not that different from the Red King the Red King used us as slaves to build his kingdom and it seems like the incredible Hawks doing the same thing now we as the reader know this is not the case all we know is that the Incredible Hulk is just making them apply a little bit of elbow grease and that it's really one of these situations where everybody has to chip in in order to make everything better you know it's not something where the Incredible Hulk can just fix everything more so than that there's a reward to this you know once they finish rebuilding once they finish clearing all this debris out once they finish restructuring and making the kingdom their own they can sit back at their handiwork and say this is ours you know something earned is far more significant than something given and so the idea here is that they're effectively earning their place in this kingdom they're earning the right to say we made this as opposed to well we just topple the red King everything stayed intact and then we just occupied the kingdom it really establishes them as being part and parcel into this entire area itself and so from here we really have this kind of conclusion with regards to the idea of the spikes and it's really just kind of highs and it's really just Greg Pak you know eliminating these last few things in the sense that these various spike ships that have been confined to the moon that hadn't quite been harnessed by the Red King which ultimately led to the Incredible Hulk traveling to the moon and freeing all the spikes and allowing them to go back about their business not traversing the spaceways and so it's literally just kind of him fulfilling these last few packs fulfilling these last few agreements you know solidifying the fact that the Incredible Hulk is a true legitimate and benign leader over the people in in Sekar the problem with this is that as they begin to celebrate once everything begins to get put together you know once everything begins to come back to normal we suddenly find that this is the ship of the shuttle that the Incredible Hulk had been brought in begins to start beeping now the idea was to turn this shuttle into somewhat of a monument to basically make it a testament to the fact that the Incredible Hulk had been sent here as a sacar s'en he had liberated them all and ushered them in the freedom and because of the fact that this thing starts to beeping we basically learned that this is a warp core meltdown that the nuclear core of this ship is beginning to break down is beginning to detonate and so the incredible hope does what he can to try to protect those around him you know especially Kyra who's currently pregnant with her child but the result is that there's really nothing he can do this nuclear powered really bombed for lack of a better word essentially explodes and it destroys everything in the Crown City everything and almost everyone the only people who aren't killed here are those individuals those people who part of his warbound here om korg those people who basically sent away from the crown city in order to begin the process of creating diplomatic ties with other civilizations other tribes around the planet in order to ensure that they you know that they don't really recognize the incredible hulk as their king so much as they see him as the new ruler of crown city and someone with which they can have diplomatic relations with and so because they're not currently present they become aware of what's going on they realize that the crown city has been destroyed in a nuclear blast but for them they don't know why they don't really understand why but the more important thing about this it's greg pak is setting the stage here with the incredible hulk as a character and this this is one of the reasons why i loved the the end of Planet Hulk so much because as this one I say there's so much development with the Incredible Hulk as a character all he's known is disappointment I mean that's the story of his life let down after let down superheroes claim to be his friends and then they betray him villains use him for their own ends humanity's constantly hunting him down the incredible Hawks life was just nothing but a sad tale you know Bruce banners father was an extremely abusive man's you know more so to the point that is believed that bruce banner himself develop multiple personalities and so when he was blasted with the gamma bomb that led to the formation of the incredible hulk the incredible hulk is just the physical manifestation of his anger towards his father his rage against humanity you know his hatred against all things or anything that would try to do harm against banner himself it's really like a physical manifestation of a psychological desire to stay protected from everything in the world that would harm him and so the idea is that leaving earth and being sent on Sekar for the first time gave the Incredible Hulk purpose it gave him a place that he believed he can call his own and the incredible work says this you know he says look when I was here I thought I had a place I I believed this could be something real I believed it could be something true I believed that I could really look out onto the horizon of a Rising Sun and see a better tomorrow but he says I was foolish to believe this I was foolish to believe that I would find anything but death and destruction everywhere I go now as we know with our origin story of scar this was the moment where by kyra had basically sent her unborn son into the planet in order to basically be saved from the presumed destruction of sakaar and he would essentially emerge and so these last few moments of the Incredible Hulk planet or around the time that his son is emerging and beginning to come into his own in terms of encountering these various species and so on that are part of the planet itself part of the indigenous life but then suddenly the Incredible Hulk is also met with the remainder of his warbound with court hero in meek so on and initially the incredible hope wants to be left alone because he's quite literally a grieving guy here but as we know with the stages of grief at first its denial its denial of the fact that those individuals around that we lose are dead it's the idea well don't you know somehow something will happen things will change we can get things back to the way they were before after that it leads to anger and this is the Incredible Hulk angry but this is him about as mad as he's ever going to be and so he alongside with his warbound prepare they prepare for an invasion of Earth they begin the process of forming arms and armament for full-on invasion and destruction of those who did the Incredible Hulk harm and so in effect at the beginning of World War Hulk the end of the Planet Hulk storyline what we have here is Bruce Banner with the wrath of God it is dude I almost want to just like crank out wood we're hope right now like oh like this this is man this is oh can you guys see let's can you feel the excitement like this is this I love this story so much because really Planet Hulk is just like one giant prelude to world war hulk but at the same time like and I was in The Incredible Hulk corner the entire event I mean let's let's have this a little bit of a discussion about what war hold for a second I was in The Incredible Hulk corner with regards to World War Hulk I was in his side because I was like yeah man like humanity's done nothing but dick you over Incredible Hulk let's get some revenge dude let's kill some folks let's go ahead and remind humanity of their place in their bigger picture like let's remind them where they stand because it's not on an even playing field with you man like I was I was like let's do this but uh because I'm so hyped we're gonna go ahead and cover World War Hulk in the next video we'll go ahead and kick off world world but uh but yeah guys like I really hope you all enjoy this Planet Hulk series so far um there are a few things here and there that we didn't really cover I know there's gonna be some people who want some of us we may or may not do that a future point in time but in truth it wasn't really relevant to the story per se um it was really just something we could kind of gloss over and then get to the meat and potatoes of planetfall okay like I don't think the stuff that we ran over in this video was far more significant in terms of the development of the halt because again my aim here was to basically show you guys the evolution of Bruce Banner from being sent to earth residing on Planet Hulk the things he gained and then interned lost and why he's so angry and why he ends up coming back to earth and literally waging a one-man war against the superheroes of the planet members of the Rob core we are here world war hulk now I got to admit I was kind of on the fence about this I was like do I really want to do what where Hulk I mean this is before I even launched the Planet Hulk thing because I've been experimenting with like Red Hulk and that kind of thing and a lot of guys really really seemed to enjoy it so I figured why not just kind of go back from the beginning from basically Planet Hulk and move forward up through the chronology leading us into Red Hook so here's what we're gonna do for the rest of this week really until we finished the world war hulk event which should probably take us about a week or so it should take the rest of this week anyway going into like Saturday what war Hulk is gonna take the place of everything except DC rebirth so we're gonna keep all the DC we worth stuff but like a classic Marvel classic DC well I think we might keep classic DC and do like speeding bullets or something like that where Superman becomes Batman aside from that like you know how to kill superheroes things like that the all-new all-different marvel day that's all that's gonna be World War Hulk because it'll give us a chance to get caught up really really fast and then turn around and go back to doing one whole video a week you know leading up to the launch of Hulk and all-new all-different marvel so anyway ah so what we're Hulk is kind of like this coup de Gras right it's like it's the magnum opus it's the the final event of Greg packs run on the Incredible Hulk and we know that because after World War Hulk was over it was essentially Hercules taking up the mantle of incredible whole boroughs really just like it was like The Incredible Hercules Hercules being put into the wall there would no only be played by the Incredible Hulk and that was done just because of the fact that Hercules just never really had a place in Marvel Comics and so if model is doing the best they could to give him a place to stay the issue is that it didn't last very long a lot of people didn't really like it too much and have some cool stories like chaos war which is insanely awesome but aside from that there wasn't really a whole lot to go with their but what were Hulk initially opens up with the North American Aerospace Defense Command outpost which is actually in Cheyenne and this is really cool because of course when we when we had our our planet Hulk of in our Planet Hulk story at the conclusion of that we had talked about how the Incredible Hulk had taken a ship with his warbound and basically moved or made it's made its way towards the planet Earth and this is them essentially just realizing that the incredible holders coming now initially they don't know if the Incredible Hulk instead they just know that is ship now the issue with this is that it begs a lot of questions with regards to you know how people don't know it's The Incredible Hulk for example and Marvel Comics they have an organization called sword the sentient world observation and response department and this is literally just an organization that monitors other worlds now because of monitors other worlds for potential threats it may not have just it just so we made out of register the fact that the incredible hope was there or they didn't care they just suddenly saw a ship but you would think there was a ship of unknown origins heading towards the planet Earth but somebody would stop to ask you a question and say hey does anybody know what's going on with that ship right there because it's big and it's heading here and we don't know what's on it so you know the fact that that didn't happen begged a few questions but at the very least it was just for the sake of storytelling but the fact remains here that we essentially picked up on the moon the blue area of the moon now this is a big deal because what this does is this ties into the existing chronology of the inhumans back before really back before all-new all-different marvel but with the Inhumans during Paul Jenkins run of the inhuman event which was like you know Inhumans volume 2 or volume 3 I think this was essentially a set of events whereby Black Bolt had orchestrated a massive duping he had basically just duped and the Inhumans and tricked them into leaving Earth and going to the blue area of the moon and that's where the Inhumans have been the entire time now for those of you guys who don't know the blue area of the moon is this oxygen-rich part of the Moon it's literally a section on the moon where you can walk around without any measure of protection and you can breathe just fine it's actually a huge talking point in Marvel like a lot of people have been there apocalypse has been there when he kidnapped a nathan summers who went on to become cable or the exponent visited there a multitude of times it's a huge staging ground like a huge battleground in the history of Marvel's publications they always return there and some form or fashion but the Incredible Hulk coming here is due to the fact that Black Bolt was part of the Illuminati because remember he's waging a war against the Illuminati here now with regards to Black Bolt his voice his quasi sonic scream has varied over time in terms of how strong it is Marvel Comics there's been times where it's been shown capable of destroying planets there's been times when it's only shown capable of destroying like a small satellite like a small planet or a small moon or something like that in this instance his voice is if I recall correctly is kind of in the middle of the ground where it's not strong enough to destroy a planet but it is stronger that's strong enough to destroy a moon now when I say his voice is in the middle ground I mean if you were to just kind of whisper or talk at a normal rate a regardless of what writers do a regardless of where he's been at in his publication history if Black Bolt were to scream as loud as possible he would wipe out a planet I mean it's always been that way like if he screams as loud as he can that planet will be destroyed with the Incredible Hulk being here as soon as he shows up you know when he tells Black Bolt like dude I'm gonna take you out like I'm going to destroy you Black Bolt simply just kind of whispers enough and it's a it does enough to basically damage you know the Incredible Hulk or at the very least it seems like it does enough to damage the Incredible Hulk but didn't we learn and one of the most awesome scenarios possible The Incredible Hulk says I didn't come here to hear you whisper I came here to hear you scream and I was like this is so badass because it's just the way it's done it's just it's insane how cool this looks so from here it's essentially a scenario where the government begins to become aware of the fact that something bad is happening not only that they have literally chunks of the moon just breaking away from orbit and so their question is what in the hell is going on on the moon but there's a conflict so massive that it's sending chunks of the moon into space itself now one other thing to keep in mind here and this is something that we'll touch on a little bit more as we get into this but Tony Stark is currently the director of shield this is after Civil War this this picks up relatively soon after the conclusion of civil war so we still have the initiative the fifty state initiative where we have a superhero team in all 50 states not only that of course we still have the Illuminati as we knew them before and so it's essentially this scenario where the world is coming to the realization that the Incredible Hulk is is a to unleash hell and this happens when the Incredible Hulk broadcasts himself to the world and what he does is he essentially tells the story of what the Illuminati are now keep in mind again the Illuminati always operated behind the scenes no one ever knew who they were no one even knew they existed the only people that were aware of the Illuminati were the Illuminati themselves now this all changed really they came to light during both this world war hulk event and even more so during the events of jonathan Hickman's avengers and new avengers when they were basically public enemy number one in the eyes of Steve Rogers as the director of shield but the idea here is that the Incredible Hulk is essentially saying you call the Illuminati heroes you call mr. fantastic you call Ironman Black Bolt of the Inhumans Doctor Strange you call them humans they shot me into space they didn't give me a trial they didn't give me you know didn't give me a chance to to make any kind of peace for myself instead they duped me onto a satellite and then I got into a ship they sent that ship you know across the galaxy I ended up another you know going through a wormhole ended up on this planet called Sekar that was literally a war world and the result was that you know while I did form a bond with where the hope refers to as his warbound the fact remains that he found a life for himself but then a bomb went off because of the ship as it was designed by the Illuminati which resulted in him losing everything he had and so he gives them an ultimatum and this is really cool because what the Incredible Hulk is gonna do is he's gonna turn New York City into a gladiatorial arena it's badass but he does this he says you have 24 hours to hand over Reed Richards Doctor Strange and Ironman or I'm going to do this to every single person that I find and he literally holds up Black Bolt now the kicker about this this is was kind of ironic is that not everyone knows about blackboard again this really changed during Jonathan Hickman's infinity event when Black Bolt had detonated the Terrigen bomb and basically caused a Terrigen mist to spread across the world waking up in humans everywhere but the fact that one of Earth's super heroes has basically been ripped to shreds by The Incredible Hulk been pummeled to the point where he's been absolutely obliterated is an indication that the Incredible Hulk is not screwing around now again keep in mind here despite the fact that Hulk is talking with a comb voice despite the fact that Hogue is talking with a calm relaxed tone he's pissed I mean he's insanely angry now he's not as angry as he's going to be at the end of the story but at this moment right now The Incredible Hulk is a force to be reckoned with the other half of this equation is with Tony Stark being the director of shield he immediately takes off he says okay fine we've got us we got to find some way to deal with this we got to find some way to cope with the Incredible Hulk because if we don't he is going to tear everybody apart not only that the idea is maybe we can rationalize with them maybe we can talk him down maybe we can figure out what it is that's going on and so what happens is dr. strange initially appears so Tony Sarkis says hey look we need to have a contingency plan in case things go south we need to have someone that can basically fought on our behalf or the very least can go toe-to-toe against the Hulk and so we do is they go and they visit Robert Reynolds now Robert Reynolds historically has his powers have kind of fluctuated his powers have kind of changed you know I have videos on him if you guys want to you're welcome to check those videos out but the underlying theme here is that Robert Reynolds is one of the few characters in the Marvel Universe that can go toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk they can stand against him and so the idea of the Illuminati is to have Robert Reynolds come to their aid come to their side and fight on their behalf the issue with this is that Robert Reynolds is actually not going to do that now from here we pick up with some of the minor whose minor superheroes really not minor but in terms of like overall strength in terms of abilities minor characters we of course have a Spider Man we have a she-hulk stepping into the fray and they're really not fighting here so much as they're helping to orchestrate this mass evacuation of New York City because again you know we need the Incredible Hulk showing back up here terrifies the hell out of everybody not just because it's the Incredible Hulk but again because he has the strength to level the entirety of New York City and so what we do is to basically switch over to to Iron Man Tony Stark now again he's meeting with Luke Cage he's meeting with Doc Sampson she hoped Wonder Man summoned Williams I mean a lot of these heroes that cannot just absolutely cannot go go toe to toe with the Incredible Hulk and he basically says hey look you know he's going to come here you know but when he does I'm not going to let him just walk all over us I'm gonna fight him you know I'm gonna do what I can to hold off the Incredible Hulk now again Tony Stark has his Hulkbuster armor and this is this is really really important because there have been a couple moments and the the Marvel Comics storylines we've seen The Incredible Hulk go against Hulk buster this one and original sin original sin I think did it much much better in the same that the Incredible Hulk was at about the same level as he is right now during his world burger Hawk form and the idea was that he basically mocked Tony Stark you know Tony Stark won against the Incredible Hulk in original sin with his a Hulkbuster armor and whole just kind of laughed at him and said you know his toys you know Tony Stark always has his toys and they're always amusing but they don't stand a chance against you Incredible Hulk and that's exactly what happens here try as he might the hope Buster armor is able to hold things out for a while Tony Stark is able to do reasonably well against the Incredible Hulk the issue with this is that what it all comes down to it Tony Stark just doesn't have it Tony Stark just does not have the ability to hold on to it now the reason for this is because I'm gonna make a really terrible analogy here and and I hope it works for those of you guys who were Dragon Ball Z fans you guys know that in the younger days of the series Gohan was like this character where it's like every once in a while something will happen he'll just lose his [ __ ] and his power will just fly off the charts for a temporary amount of time that's what happens with the Incredible Hulk here his world record form or at least that the super angry you know unstoppable force Incredible Hulk doesn't really come until like the very end of the story but right now he's still like insanely stronger than he's ever been before he's well beyond the limits that he's been at previously in his publication history but as he's fighting Tony Stark he begins to have these flashbacks to the time that he spent with Kai ere he begins to have a flashback to the lot that he felt for her to the fact that he was gonna be a father and to the you know imminent destruction of kyer when the bomb went off and this just sends him right over the edge it really kind of like rejuvenates this anger that he has and he immediately takes it a Tony Stark and starts ripping his his Hulkbuster armor apart now this is why I say the whole the the World War Hulk storyline is so cool because under normal circumstances if Tony Stark would it go against the Incredible Hulk with his hook Buster armor he'd be able to hold out the hook long enough that either Banner would just lose interest and walk away or he would just not really tire out but it would allow other heroes did you come into the fray and talk you know the Incredible Hulk down or it would allow the situation to be resolved without a massive amount of destruction that's not the case here the Hulk just keeps getting angrier and angrier and angrier and Tony Stark just keeps pissing him off more and more and more until it gets to the point that the Incredible Hulk has effectively destroyed Tony Stark's Hulkbuster armor and just kind of left Tony Stark there on his own to figure out in the hell he's gonna do not only that it allows the incredible hope to take Tony Stark prisoner as his first I guess the second victim in his campaign to take out the Illuminati as part of the Earth's superhero roster so continuing our coverage of world war hulk in this video we're gonna focus on the Incredible Hulk fighting all the x-men and when I say all the x-men I mean all the x-men every last one now this is actually a really really really cool set of events so the reason why is because it's just the whole fighting every single X me how does it get cooler than that the issue with this is that this story as far as I've been able to tell is a little ambiguous on where it stands of course we know that it's around the time of the Incredible Hulk shows up on earth but we don't know if it is before he fights Tony Stark if it's after he fights Tony Stark at least I haven't been able to figure that out yet but it happens around the first issue so that's that's really good enough besides it's just the Incredible Hulk beating up x-men we can just kind of guess when it takes place but what this does it just initially picks up with Tony Stark meeting with Charles Xavier prior to his conflict with the Incredible Hulk in the first issue now the kicker to this is that Charles Xavier was not present during the events of the Illuminati kicking Bruce Banner off the face of the planet Earth and sending him off to the events that would lead into Planet Hulk instead this was after the events of house of M and so you know at this point in time Charles Xavier was still missing in action no one really knew where he was and so because it wasn't part of these events he never made a conscious decision now initially Tony Stark acid in this Tony Stark says hey man look like here's what's going on like I'm just gonna brief you because you're part of the Illuminati you need to know what's going on but his other question is if you had to have made a choice if you had to have chosen whether or not to banish the Hulk which choice would you have made now Charles Xavier doesn't initially answer him and said we just basically pick up with the present-day now what this does or at least what what this opening tie-in does initially at least by Christos Gage the way that he doesn't it just focuses largely on Charles Xavier is kind of reminding us where the very least Christos Gage reminding us where things stand in the mutant community now on the surface this wouldn't really seem necessary but a comic book that's the basically centers on the Incredible Hulk fighting the x-men would draw attention no matter where people were in the of their understanding of comics and so the great thing about this is that it almost treats it like a self-contained story to a degree in the sense that it refreshes people with where the x-men are at if they haven't read anything about the x-men up to this point now again after the events of house of M we know that the scarlet witch's actions were on a multiversal level in the sense that she had stripped 98% of the mutant population of their powers across the multiverse not just the main Marvel Universe and so because of this after the events of house of M there were no mutants being born this is the reason why the birth of Hope Summers was such a big deal in the Marvel timeline because we've never seen any new mutants being born after house of M instead there was just a massive reduction and then the number just seemed to stop there and so again you know with with the with the idea of the mutant population being reduced down to 198 in total plus a few who have died here and there over the course of the events between house of M and this and World War Hulk right now this is really just a scenario where they're all being not really held prisoner but they're all being guarded by sentinels within the confines of the Xavier mansion however almost immediately after we pick up with this little bit of a story we suddenly have you know the Incredible Hulk showing up in front of Xavier mansion now the first thing he says is I want Charles Xavier like I want Charles Xavier out here right now you know I want him I want to talk to him now we're actually gonna learn the Incredible Hulk doesn't intend to kill Charles Xavier or even to beat him extremely bad instead like he's showing up here because he asked questions that he wants answered but the kicker is that you know you have the the sub roster like the minor x-men that honestly most people don't really care about you know who were here right now and they're the ones are just kind of hanging out you know with Charles Xavier the beast tells him look man you got to get out of here like we're we cannot bring you Charles Xavier that's not gonna happen now this is actually pretty important because beast has a long-standing history with the Incredible Hulk I wouldn't go as far as to say they're like the best of friends ever but there is a lot of respect between the two of them because Bruce Banner is a scientist beast as a scientist they share a common ground in terms of their overall interests and views and there's been a multitude of times where they've reached out reached across the aisle and talked to one another in order to sort out various problems that they couldn't do on their own the problem with this is that the Incredible Hulk has no interest in past friendships The Incredible Hulk has no interest in past allies instead he says simply sends Ben Hank McCoy flying along his way and almost knocks them out in response to this the ex and essentially jumped in as best they can now somebody else who's kind of sitting on the sidelines here is Joshua Foley now Joshua Foley is an omega-level mutant he's really really powerful within the confines of his abilities the problem is that his abilities are not in the realm of you know telekinesis or telepathy you know he's not an Omega level energy projector or anything like that he's a kid that can basically control the biological structure of other people's bodies but only insofar as how is confined to healing so he can heal from anything and he can heal others from anything he's effectively immortal the issue with this is that the plan of beast is to basically send the healing factor of the Incredible Hulk into overdrive for the reason why I say this is an issue is because the Incredible Hulk is an uncharted levels of power here even for his character the x-men have never faced a foe on the level of Incredible Hulk when it comes to sheer strength and durability they faced wildly powerful beings what we're talking about beings with the ability to warp reality stuff like that but the Incredible Hulk is a tangible threat that cannot be stopped the closest that we ever really got to the x-men associating with someone like this would be like eight day juggernaut but eighth day juggernaut that's something that's someone we'll talk about here in a little bit when the juggernaut shows up but eighth day juggernaut was not on the same level as World Waker Hulk they were close but eighth day juggernaut would probably still be defeated by world breaker Hulk actually creates a pretty cool discussion a pretty cool debate eight day juggernaut I'm curious who do you think would win eighth day juggernaut or The Incredible Hulk I'll run over what an eighth day juggernaut is here in a minute but for right now um it's really just these x-men doing what they can to face off against the Hulk but in truth I mean this is the B roster you know these guys have no chance now the cool thing here is we actually get to see Laura Kenney fight now Lord Kenny of course x-23 I have a character ever videos on her those you guys who don't know x-23 was cloned or designed to be a clone of Wolverine but they had to modify her genes to make her a woman instead of a guy said well because of the fact that the chromosomes used to create her were corrupted to a degree and so they were just kind of stuck with with making her a female but she's every ounce as capable as Wolverine is and in the sense that she has adamantium claws in the sense that she is a prodigious fighter as she was trained to be an assassin she has enhanced healing all the same features as Wolverine it's just a different characteristic of her in terms of who she is and the backstory is different but the idea here that while she does have the same kind of fighting ability as Wolverine she doesn't have the same experience and that's what that's what makes a whole different thing now she is capable because she's assassinated people she's been in a lot of different conflicts but she's never gone toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk Wolverine has Logan has gone against the Incredible Hulk in a multitude of occasions and so he knows how to engage the hoch effectively and this proves itself in the fact the next 23 has no chance here I mean she has adamantium she manages to scrape his face but the incredible hope grabs her and just throws her into a wall and that's that you know that she's she has nothing to offer in this situation and so again from here it's really just the Incredible Hulk turning his attention to everyone he can find until we get to a roster of the x-men showing up and this is Wolverine this is Cyclops Emma Frost Colossus Kitty Pryde Colossus is actually a really cool situation in this fight - it's really really funny what have I mean it's not funny what happens to him but it's it's it's kind of funny it's kind of funny like it's cool but the idea here is that Charles Xavier says okay fine you know look The Incredible Hulk II didn't show up here for no reason alright it's not like he's just on a rampage you know we know he's demanding members of the Illuminati again the x-men don't know about the Illuminati but if the mind of Charles Xavier he's like he's demanding my fellow members of the Illuminati it has something to do with what they made this coming you know combined with what it was that Tony Stark told me indicates the Incredible Hulk has come back here to unleash hell on us all he's come back here to destroy us as the Illuminati and so what we do here is we transition with you know Charles Xavier s he goes through and begin scanning the mind of of the Incredible Hulk now what's funny about this as Charles Xavier tells us that in years past it's never been exhale E difficult to scan the mind of the incredible hope it was always relatively difficult because the hoax line was really more of a primal force more so than inaccessible or something like that but the idea here is that the Incredible Hulk is filled with so much rage right now that it's almost created his own self-sustaining barrier against the powers of Charles Xavier he is able to penetrate but when he does he finds the source of this anger he finds out the Incredible Hulk had effectively been tortured been forced into combat as a gladiator he had found love and then lost love and all of that happened because of the actions of the Illume and so Charles Xavier is kind of an a situation right here where he's like there's nothing we can do to stop him right now like he's not gonna be able to listen the reason more so than that what Charles Xavier saw was projected into the minds of all the other x-men as Charles Xavier was seeing it and so it's not like the x-men don't know why the Hulk is here now they all understand why he's here but the idea is that they've essentially come to the realization that there's no talking sense to the Incredible Hulk right now The Incredible Hulk is in a state of absolute madness he's almost feral in terms of how angry he is and he's in a level of uncharted strength and durability here and so while the other x-men are temporarily incapacitated he asked Charles Xavier the most important question he says you know look I know that you were not part of the Illuminati when I was banished from this world I know that you know from what Blackwell told me you're not here he doesn't know everything about house of M but he knows that Charles Xavier was not here when that happened but he asked the question if you had to make a choice if you had to you know vote who would you a vote it would you have kicked me out or would you have kept me here on the planet Earth now Charles Xavier does provide a definitive answer here he beats around the bush for a little bit you know he kind of toys around for a little bit but he says look I would not have agreed to kicking you out of earth for eternity I would not have forced you to leave what I would have done is I would have said we need to remove you from the earth until we can find a cure the problem with this for the Incredible Hulk is that there's no real difference here whether it was Charles Xavier you know banishing him or exiling him until they could find a cure or exiling him forever it's all the same thing and the reason why we know this is because Charles Xavier says look fine if you want to take me you can take me I will go with you I will effectively give up I will surrender and the Hulk says cool let's go but but you know of course Colossus and the other x-men step in and they say no no no you're not taking Charles Xavier anywhere now we know with the x-men they have a massive amount of respect for Charles Xavier but this is that in-between period this is that period where the line of x-men publications are starting to see Cyclops begin to break away from the teachings of Charles Xavier and start to leave him behind now all of that really came to a head in Avengers vs. x-men but the idea is that this is kind of the the rift being formed this is Cyclops beginning to look away from the idea of Charles Xavier moving away from his teachings and ultimately stepping into his own as the de facto leader of the x-men for the most part now of course with the other x-men stepping in and doing they can I mean they put up one hell of a fight I mean you have Cyclops using the full blast of his optic blast you have a Wolverine who uses this cause as best he can you know of course to try to fight off the Incredible Hulk here but none of them are really able to do anything to hold their own Emma Frost even goes as far as to say hey look I'm joining the fight here you know my my daughter's you know my clones more or less the Stepford cuckoos I'm monitoring the entire fight and so if you try to step in and stop us from fighting we'll shut your mind down and so it's really her saying go in and tend to the wounded do not get in the way now again this is of course you know just the idea that they're breaking away I mean again you know after the events of house of am during the decimation storyline which calls Xavier was absentee it was really left to Emma Frost and to Cyclops to run the x-men team and so in their mind Charles Xavier is now an Una's central part of the x-men roster they've really proven they can run it without him they don't really need him his return is welcomed but his return is also somewhat inconvenient for Emma and Cyclops in the sense that again they don't feel like they need him and this is just really Marvel continuing this trend of the x-men or at least of Emma Frost Cyclops saying look it's cool that you're here but you're just kind of getting in the way at this point because all you can do is use telepathy and you've essentially already given up so you're really more of a hindrance you know it's essentially one of those things where you know it's like if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem and so they basically send Charles Xavier back into the mansion which is really wild to see to sitting you know to see some measure of respect given here but to also see a vast amount of disrespect to the guy that literally laid the groundwork for what the x-men will become in terms of Marvel Comics but at the very least you know because of the story as it goes right now I mean this is really kind of a necessity too because of the Charles Xavier having telepathy there's really not a whole lot he can do I mean Emma Frost wouldn't even be part of this conflict if she didn't have a secondary mutation that allowed her to take on her diamond form but because she has this I mean she can step in and she has you know a reasonable measure of durability against the Incredible Hulk but at the end of the day I mean she's not strong enough to put a little put up a legitimate fight and take the Incredible Hulk out now if we're here we actually pick up with Kitty Pryde and Kitty Pryde is actually really interesting in this situation because normally we wouldn't consider her to be an essential part of the story we would kind of laugh it off and say well I was Kitty Pryde whatever but what she does is she phases the Incredible Hulk into the ground now as we know with the Incredible Hulk his strength you know just increases the angrier he yes and so this is really more of a stopgap measure and in fact even you know beast says yeah this is really cool but this is also a stopgap measure we have to find something that we need to do I mean we got to find something to do with him now they initially tore with the idea of filling him in the prison and the negative zone because remember during the events of civil war Reed Richards and Hank Pym and Tony Stark built prison 42 they built a prison in the negative zone to house those superheroes who refused to register with the superhuman Registration Act and they initially considered throwing the Incredible Hulk in there because if they put him in there and they closed the portal he'll never be able to get back out but he literally just be stuck in the negative zone but the result is that as they're in the middle of having this discussion he suddenly breaks himself free now at this point is really the x-men sending out an SOS I mean you have the younger mutants watching all these events unfold you have you know the Stepford cuckoos who are watching everything happen and the idea here is okay look the x-men can't do this on their own like we've seen the x-men cannot deal with the Incredible Hulk in this level of rage and so what they do is they send out a message to everybody to Jamey mad rocks in the x-factor investigations to siren the daughter I think it is of banshee who has like this screen that can disorient people and allow her to fly they send it out to anybody who's listening anyone you know Excalibur anybody who is listening to this or at the very least is aware or familiar with the x-men the message goes out to them all now Excalibur doesn't initially step in you know Captain Britain Dazzler they kind of stay behind but we end up having the juggernaut who actually takes his crimson gem of cyttorak and communes directly with Sid Iraq himself now again we'll get a little more into what this means in terms of this sort of D you know repowering of the juggernaut in terms of hey Marco you know how we normally functions versus a full amount or at least a strong amount of the power of Sid Iraq but the idea is that while this is happening the Exeter just kind of buying time the actually are doing the best they can now Hulk turns his sights to Emma Frost and he says you're in tough situation here and the reason why is because you can't use your telepathy while you are in your diamond form and in order to use your telepathy you have to leave your diamond form but if you do I have a hold of you which means that if you get out of your diamond form I'm going to destroy you and so it's just this this funny scenario now in truth the Incredible Hulk could probably crush her in her diamond form right now with him being as strong as he is but before he's able to do any one of those things we have losses stepping in now this is why I say things get so cool with Colossus because historically Colossus has never been like eco with The Incredible Hulk in terms of power and the incredible hoax baseline form sure but the Incredible Hulk just keeps getting stronger you know Colossus does not have an infinite level of strength he turns into his organic metal form and he's as strong as he's gonna get you know he doesn't get any you know any stronger than where he is in this form right now he goes against the Incredible Hulk and The Incredible Hulk even goes as far as to say hey man there was probably a time when you were mine equal there was probably a time when for a little while you would have been able to hold your own against me he's like but right now you don't have a chance my friend and he actually breaks the arms of Colossus in his organic metal form now the reason why this is a big deal is because rarely have we ever seen anybody physically harm Colossus in his organic metal form in truth the only people who have been able to do that or who could do that are of course the Incredible Hulk in this situation magneto who can control metal Caloris manga knows his daughter who can control metal and aside from that that's really it you know I mean you know you have like uh you have Wolverines adamantium which could probably cut through Colossus but we've never really had a reason aside from you know some what-if story somewhere where Wolverine kills him our universe we didn't really had a reason to ask the question of whether or not Wolverine cut a puncture Colossus organic metal skin but the idea is that Wolverine effectively jumps back into the fray and begins going against the Incredible Hulk again now here's the other half of this equation when it comes to the Hulk going against Wolverine in almost all of their previous conflicts Wolverine was always the smarter guy you know the Hulk in their previous engagements was just raging he was a guy who was you know he was he was going aggro on on the Wolverine you know he was literally just fighting and fighting and punching and punching but never really thinking about what was going on whereas Wolverine was usually able to outpace him he was able to dance around him he was able to get past him whatever is he needed to do with the Incredible Hulk in this situation right now he's he's a thinking machine I mean he's a guy that's got the full faculties of his normal self he's able to think on you know I'm normal way than he usually is and so because of this he asked the question well if I can't break your you know adamantium skeleton if I can't destroy that inside your adamantium skeleton are the same fluids and the same marrows as a normal person has but he says the adamantium skeleton also houses your brain so here's a question if I start smashing your head against the ground as hard as I can and your brain starts smashing against the side of your skull what's gonna happen and he says let's find out and so we just start smashing his head into the ground and it's cool it's because it's something that we've never really seen the incredible hooks sit down and think about before and this is one of the reasons why the world war hawk story works out so well it's because it's a really intelligent Incredible Hulk at the absolute peak of his strength going against some of the most formidable heroes in the history of Marvel Comics and so it just comes out awesome now from here we pick up with the arrival of juggernaut and this is not a fully powered que Marco not even you know not even by 50% and this is shown in the fact that as soon as he arrives and he tries to go against the Hulk the Hulk just takes him out immediately I mean just like get out of here down for the count and so we basically pick up with whoever's left I mean we had different people like strong guy we have Wolfsbane we have Nightcrawler warpath you know we have Jimmy mad rocks we even have Darwin and this is actually a really cool situation because Darwin isn't omega-level mutant but his mutant power is basically to allow his body to do whatever it needs to do for him to survive a situation so he's like the extreme example of a survivalist now when they arrive here again it's much like before they start going through and they all start trying to take the Incredible Hulk out now the cool thing is that none of them are really able to do it I mean strong guy in warpath are the only ones that have the power to really pull this off Darwin with his ability to you know again alter his body structure his body automatically altering its structure in order to ensure a survival basically redesigns or restructures itself in a way to where you're gonna start absorbing gamma radiation now the idea here is that because the Incredible Hulk himself is powered by gamma radiation is essentially a scenario where he's operating much like a battery under normal circumstances the Incredible Hulk can be exhausted the incredible hulks you know gamma radiation can be siphoned off to a point where he becomes incredibly exhausted and just reverts back to his banner form it's happened in a multitude of times in Marvel Comics the issue with this is that because of the fact that the Incredible Hulk is so angry he's virtually limitless right now there is no end to his reservoir of gamma radiation and so as Darwin siphons it off more just keeps coming and coming and coming and so ultimately there's nothing he can do here in fact his body actually comes to the realization that he can't stop the Incredible Hulk and so instead of taking on some a mutation like you know infinite strength or something like that instead Darwin's body just teleports him outta there and that's it and it's a really funny running funny scenario because he oh nightcrawler comments on this he's like well I mean if Darwin's body allows him to survive any situation and Darwin left his body teleported him away well then it's obvious the only way to survive the situation is to not be here now at this point we switch over to strong guy now strong guy has a long running history in the realm of Marvel Comics he's not new now by any stretch of the imagination he's been in I guess part of the x-factor with the second iteration after Louise Simonson and Walter Simonson left so he's like the nineties x-factor when they were essentially a government-sanctioned superhero team but strong guys powers or almost uh I guess almost identical to the powers of sebastian shaw in the sense that sebastian shaw can absorb kinetic energy and then channel that energy back out in terms of physical strength that's what strong guy does and strong guy literally you know takes the power takes the punches of the Incredible Hulk and turns them on and turns into physical energy and punches him back the problem with this and this is actually kind of the weakness the strong guys have for quite some time is that he cannot absorb an infinite amount of power right I mean he's not like Bishop you know he's not like Bishop we could absorb infinite power as long as he doesn't allow his body to overrun and as long as he just you know allows that energy out as it needs to be let out a strong guy if he's hit with enough power will die his heart will literally shut down or his body will explode and so because of this you know it's it's this situation where they're basically saying hey look man you know strong guy we like you trying to take on the Incredible Hulk but you know if you absorb too much of an impact from The Incredible Hulk it will destroy your heart your heart will literally just shut down and you will die and so again this is really just strong guy being forced out of this situation more so than being successfully to feed it and so at this point we have Nightcrawler jumping in now this is the cool thing because I love Nightcrawler me as a character in terms of character development in terms of how he's grown over the years Nightcrawler is awesome you know Kurt Wagner is one of my favorite characters in all of Marvel Comics and our initial idea would be well surely we can have Nightcrawler just teleport the Incredible Hulk away I mean could you just like teleport him to another dimension or something like that but the issue is that the incredible hooks mass is far too large now that's the way it works with Nightcrawler Nightcrawler can't teleport something like like it's not like Galactus could show up on earth and the Nightcrawler could teleport him away my collar can only teleport things of a certain size or of a certain mass and Incredible Hulk is similar just too big for him now in truth the reason why Nightcrawler has this has this limit to his powers is just for the sake of storytelling if Nightcrawler had an unlimited amount or if he could teleport people of an unlimited size and ability one truth he would be like Exodus but if you were able to do that then anytime anybody should have to fight the x-men fans would ask the question well why does the night ball just teleport I'm away so I don't have to worry about it so we just allows Marvel to create some compelling stories with this character which actually works out I mean in truth this isn't really something that I would look at and say well that's just ridiculous I mean it makes sense you know as far as I go when it when it comes to reading the x-men but we also have a scenario where another member of nightcrawlers team had effectively taken off - we had effectively taken off to grab the the black wing of x-men jet the x-jet and what she does is she actually crashes it into the Incredible Hulk now this was a two-stage plan between Nightcrawler and his teammate I can't member her name for the life of me but it's a - a two-part plan between the two of them and the idea is for Nightcrawler to basically move the Incredible Hulk just slightly just enough that it puts him in the direct path because again he can't teleport him that far away the other half is to crash the x-men's jet directly into him for the purpose of you know allowing the Blackbird to explode and hopefully you know the very least incapacitating the Incredible Hulk this doesn't happen like this this is not what happens in fact the Incredible Hulk basically just emerges from the wreckage now this is when we start getting into the territory of the juggernaut at his absolute strongest well I guess juggernaut at his absolute strong it's just kind of a kind of a misnomer but when he first showed up here he was not fully powered and the reason why is because the amount of energy that juggernaut can use from city rockers siphon from city rock to give him his own durability and strength it's relative to his motives and so what we learned here is that the juggernaut showing up here was to save I guess to protect his his stepbrother to protect Charles Xavier but that was a weak reason at best because it doesn't fit into the nature of Cain Marko it doesn't allow him to give his full self over to the power of the crimson gem of cyttorak and so because of this what he does he basically reveals his true motive he allows himself to fully be handed over and he says well my goal here is to just trash the incredible whole to prove to everybody that the juggernaut is still the strongest being out there and so we basically imbues the full power or at least almost entirely the full power of citta right now the reason why I say it's almost the entire power is because during the history of Marvel Comics there was a storyline called the eighth day which talked about the octet since and I've got videos on that and so on and so forth but juggernaut was chosen to be the avatar of cyttorak a being from the Crimson dimension that provides Doctor Strange with his crimson bands to keep people in prison but also supply juggernaut or I guess was a reason why juggernaut found the Crimson gem of cyttorak during the eighth day storyline juggernaut was imbued with the full strength the full power of CID Iraq which basically made juggernaut as strong as he was ever going to be and so he's referenced as eighth day juggernaut that's where that comes from that version of juggernaut was insanely strong not on the same level as well breaker hawk but insanely strong and so this version of juggernaut basically goes against Hulk as best he can and The Incredible Hulk recognizes you know again because this is gemenon because he's as strong as he is if the juggernaut starts moving no one's gonna be able to stop him not even wall breaker Hulk and so will burger hooks is okay fine then what does use your momentum against you and literally just sends him on his way now at this point you know with the juggernaut running it's really more a matter of momentum and so as long as it takes him to get up to speed it takes him as long if not twice as long to slow down turn back around and then head back to where he was before and so at this point Polk's sits down and and tells Charles Xavier look man like it'll be a while before juggernaut gets back here and while we're waiting on him you're gonna come with me now this is where the incredible hope basically learns about what went on behind the scene this is really him learning about the events of decimation misses him learning about how some of the mutants have been killed since the events of house of M and so the Incredible Hulk essentially is this kind of a lackluster ending to the story really but the Incredible Hulk comes to the realization that Charles Xavier views the entire House of M event as his fault now the reason why Charles Xavier says that or why he views it as his fault is because when the Scarlet Witch created the House of M she had kidnapped Charles Xavier and used his telepathy to read the minds of everybody in the world and give them the life that they desired or at least all the superheroes and given the lives they desired and so even if it was against his will Charles Xavier was complicit in House of M and so because of this you know when everything came back to normal and Charles Xavier returned he looked at the mutant population and said this is my fault or the Scarlet Witch had not used my brain to read the minds of all the superheroes and Anish the house of M the deep howling of mutants never would have happened and so in the Incredible Hulk essentially sits down and says yeah man that sucks for you like you're already living in hell and so as a result he kind of takes pity on Charles Xavier and in the end he effectively just kind of takes off and leaves Charles Xavier to his own suffering in his own misery as a guy who feels responsible for the D powering of a multitude of mutants across the entire face of the earth so continuing our discussion on world war hulk we pick up with the aftermath of both the incredible hulk fighting the x-men as well as absolutely trashing iron man's Hulkbuster armor so of course at this point iron man is like the first prisoner that's been taken by the Incredible Hulk now we'll learn that what the Incredible Hulk is going to do is basically turn Madison Square Garden into a massive gladiatorial arena not unlike the arena from Planet Hulk and he's essentially gonna try to force the Illuminati to fight one another but in this aftermath we actually have the iron fist Danny Rand uh travelling to Doctor Strange now this is a scenario whereby it's basically all the Mystics on earth or at least most of the Mystics on earth that still have their powers outlying themselves with one another but they also looked at Doctor Strange because of the fact that he's so powerful keep in mind Doctor Strange the fight that is despite the fact that his power was reduced a bit during the run of New Avengers it's still this idea that Doctor Strange could effectively eradicate the Incredible Hulk easily and in fact this is a point that's brought up you know this is a point that's brought up by by by Doctor Strange himself when he says yeah I kid I could destroy the Hulk no problem like it'd be super easy to do the problem with this is that we have to find another way if I were to banish him to another planet he would come back and he'd be angrier than he is right now because his anger is limitless but he says not only that mean Incredible Hulk is an ally like he has been a superhero he's just simply pissed off because we really just brought this on ourselves you know and so he says I'm not gonna kill him we have to find a different way and so from this point we basically switched to the ground level of New York City itself and its really just whoever is left behind and this is kind of important because within the realm of Marvel Comics the x-men again as we had talked about have been severely reduced a number but not only that the Incredible Hulk literally tore through all of them and so I mean they're out of the equation right now like the x-men are not going to be part of the situation this is Greg pack effectively just kind of dwindling everything down to the point where only one hero is capable of going toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk we of course know if that's the century but the idea is to also take what's left of the Avengers Carol Danvers doc Samson spider-man a Spider Woman Luke Cage Ares the God of War like is pitting them against the Incredible Hulk and his forces in an effort to try to take them out I mean she hooks here but this is this is crazy because she Hulk is one of the only characters in Marvel Comics that is as familiar with gamma radiation or at least as relatively familiar with gamma radiation is the Incredible Hulk is because she received a blood transfusion from Bruce Banner and so the reason why this matters is that once Banner in and once she takes on the Incredible Hulk as the only person that can really go toe-to-toe with his strengths or at least it's believed that she can he takes her out with the greatest of ease in fact she gives him a blunt force punched to the face and nothing happens and so when he takes her out so quickly you know without ever really breaking a sweat she simply says god help us now on the surface this doesn't really seem relevant but in the greater story it's monumental because this is effectively she-hulk saying we're fighting a losing war like we cannot win like even if we were to defeat his warbound even if we were to beat you know were to be cored and L away and here on the shame even if we were to take all them out it wouldn't matter because then we've got a deal with Big Poppa Hulk and he ain't taking no prisoners well I guess he has taken prisoners but what the idea here is that he could literally just take on the entirety of her superheroes we saw that in the what-if story where he killed them all and so I mean it's it's it's not like they have a legitimate chance this is also kind of funny here because this is also a Greg Pak showing us just how strong the Incredible Hulk is I mean you know doc Samson is strong in terms of his strength I mean he's very vulnerable she hopes formable as well and so are Carol Danvers I mean these are kind of like the powerhouses Ares the God of War these are just some of the strongest people now one thing to keep in mind this is something that I want you to bear in mind to Thor is not here remember Thor was supposedly dead before the events of Ragnarok and so right now he's still in this afterlife kind of thing that's why we don't have Odin's son here right now because I imagine some of you guys one of the first questions you're asking is where the hell is Odin's son where's Thor in all of this as far as the world's concerned he's still dead now he actually comes back after this during J michael Straczynski zarada I think or maybe it's the start of Jason Aaron's run I think it's I think it's true since he's run but uh but right now he's he's out of the out of the equation he's out of the picture which is why we simply don't see him here but transitioning over to the fan for we effectively have storm of the x-man we have black panther of Wakanda we have Johnny Storm Sue Storm Reed Richards they're basically putting their knowledge to task for the purpose of developing a device they can at least sit at least it seems as though it can reduce the powers of the Incredible Hulk and it can bring him back down to his normal levels but the problem with this is there's actually a debate between Reed Richards and and black panther and black panther says hey man you guys brought this on yourself I'm doing this because this is a world war now because the Incredible Hulk will kill everyone not just you and so if you could turn its lights in Wakanda and I would be powerless to stop him so it's really not black panther helping Neil Reed Richards because he wants to he's helping Reed Richards because he has to but if it was just if the Incredible Hulk just jumped out and said hey guys you know all I'm gonna do is just kill the Illuminati and everybody else would be fine boy Panther would have stayed in what conduct but he would have just been like well you know that's their problem you know I told him because remember when the Illuminati first formed Brian Michael Bendis one shot when the Illuminati first formed and they asked Black Panther to join their ranks he turned them down and said what you're doing here is going to lead to some major conflict later on I don't know what that conflict is going to be I don't know what the impact is going to be but you are going to reap what you sow in a reckoning will be coming well this is the reckoning this is the fruits of the Illuminati's labor they sent the Hulk away and he came back unleashing absolute hell on the whole of humanity and so once the incredible hope becomes aware of the fact that the Fantastic Four still working together once it becomes aware of the fact that Reed Richards is sitting over there as a Baxter building trying to find a way to take him out of course he travels over there now obviously you know with with the Incredible Hulk right now I mean he takes out Johnny Storm now this is not a small feat I mean this is not a small thing and keep in mind when it comes to like energy based powers Johnny Storm it's insane how powerful he is he's effectively the Sun when he beefs up to the absolute extreme of his powers I mean when he blasts the Incredible Hulk I mean he's he's not blasting him with the full mic simply because if he did he would destroy the world but he's blasting him with enough energy to try to defeat The Incredible Hulk without destroying the world now this is Greg Pak basically telling us if Johnny Storm were going to try to use the full extent of his abilities and if you were going to try to destroy the Incredible Hulk he would annihilate the earth of the process along with himself and there's no guarantee he would still succeed there's an insanely good chance the Incredible Hulk would survive he would continue living on because his rage and his durability is so extreme right now it's beyond anything that anybody's ever seen that anybody can ever really withstand and in fact we'll actually find out that um that the incredible hoax power is on par with cosmic entities right now like this is his physical strength is on par with with the cosmic entities of the Marvel Universe and we'll actually find that out through Doctor Strange bloch we of course have Ben Grimm stepping in there's been a Grimm so I've gotten us an offer here I mean it's it's it's almost pathetic Ben Grimm gets two punches in and then his head gets smashed and that's it I mean he gets he gets two swings and then that's the end of him like he's literally taken down I keep him on you know the Incredible Hulk who didn't kill him because the incredible hoax not there to kill Ben Grimm the incredible hoax not there to really kill anybody he's there to capture people if they decide it's better to die in the process of being captured well then you know worse for them better for the whole but in his mind all he wants to do is take them prisoners now at this point we're met with what seems to be the century and this is why I say the century was an important character because he's the really the only character in the Marvel Universe that was able to fight be Incredible Hulk in his world Wicker form to a standstill I mean that's that's what we'll actually see later on but at this moment the century seems to be calming him down because rumor the century radiates energies that quite literally calm Z incredible hope not only that the Incredible Hulk always referred to him as golden man and that goes back to the era of paul jing is in jail ii when they first introduced the century to marvel comics but the centuries energies had the ability to subdue the hope the problem with this is that this is not the century this is actually Reed Richards and Reed Richards had basically constructed a device that allowed him to synthesize the energies of the century in an attempt to calm banner down the issue with this is that banner is so mad he cannot be calmed down and so this seems like the fight is you know between Centurion and Hulk himself is basically Joyce just going to come down to brute force who can overpower the other but with Reed Richards being taken out of where Susan storm steps into the frame if season storm I guess a Rex force fields for the purpose of of trying to contain the Incredible Hulk Road the very least trying to contain her husband now what's really interesting about this is this is also Greg Pak reminding us where Susan storm stands and this is why I say people tend to forget just how capable the Fantastic Four were people look to the Fantastic Four and they were like oh you know when they're sore when you look at the x-men and you look at you know some of the members of the Avengers and you look at world break or ho get someone and so forth I who were the Fantastic Four really what are they really capable of well they're capable of a lot you know Johnny Storm is equivalent to the Sun and a little bit beyond in terms of his power Susan storm can create virtually indestructible force fields this Sun cosmic entities can't penetrate that Galactus has actually had a hard time penetrating before and so it's not as though they just kind of explore stuff you know when they invent things and they have a good time and they have a kid they can warp reality the Fantastic Four are very capable in terms of their abilities and I love big Gregg chakra mindedness reminded us us of this you know I'm glad that he talked about this there we go I can't talk I'm glad he reminded us of this because it's something very very easy to forget when you look around the rest of the Marvel Universe now Reed Wretch's himself of course is mr. fantastic trying to stretch himself around does what he can to subdue the Incredible Hulk but in the end he's just kind of pounded into the ground now this is really just riding for the sake of having it but in response to the fact that Reed Richards is defeated and essentially taken prisoner as as part of the incredible hulks gladiatorial games we have Susan storm contact this century and this is really a recurring theme this is what's gonna happen in the story over and over and over again it's gonna be people just pleading to the century and this is this is what red patch leading to I mean this is the basis behind this is he saying everyone is begging this century to step in because you know I mean I know I've made I mean I've made videos like hey look Robert Reynolds is is Marvel's version of Superman I mean he is Hyperion is Marvel's Superman gladiators Marvel Superman blue Marvel his Marvel Superman but when it comes down to it anybody with super-strength flights some measurement to the Sun or some kind of atomic energy and you know a cape is a version of Superman because Superman was the first superhero I mean he created the standard so you'd be hard-pressed to find anybody that doesn't make anything even remotely close to him you know and people people will say well that's just that's their version of Superman but with the century this does not whether whether he's Marvel Superman or not does not take away from the fact it's insane how powerful he has even in what he's not the void or even when he's just this century Robert Reynolds and he keeps his powers in check he doesn't allow his you know his powers to go you know unlimited in terms of their abilities it doesn't take away from the fact that the century is stupid powerful in terms of his abilities I mean it's it's it's night and day and what this story does actually this is one of the reasons why having and what were what were Hulk was so important is because it showed us the full limits of his power when he is the century exactly what his upper limits are and how far he can go before his body just kind of dissipates his energy and breaks down to his normal form but what we end up doing is we actually pick up with the Incredible Hulk as he's taking Reed Richards back to his prison and he's met with Rick Jones now this is a quintessential example of the phrase and a child will save us because Rick Jones has no powers at least not right now he's not a bomb he's just a regular guy but he's one of the incredible hulks oldest friends and the reason why I say that is because when Bruce Banner was first exposed to the gamma bomb it was because he was running out to the field to push Rick Jones out of the way Rick Jones was saved but Bruce Banner was blasted with the effects of the gamma bomb and The Incredible Hulk was born but Rick Jones was always the one guy who was in Bruce banners corner no matter what happened you know come what may if Bruce Banner could trust anyone it was always Rick Jones Rick Jones was always there fighting on his behalf if the Incredible Hulk was was taking punches left and right you know he couldn't see out of his right eye and he was some link to the ground Rick Jones would stand out put his boxing gloves on and jump into the fray even if he knew he would lose he would fight on behalf of the Hulk and the hope views him as his real really like his only true friend and so when Rick Jones steps up and says hey look man I get to your mat all right I get that that these guys deserve to have their asses kicked for what they did I get that they had it coming you know because of civil war because of the the ineptitude because of the stupidity of Reed Richards and Tony Stark and ant-man hey Pam they deserve what you're giving them but not like this they deserve justice but not the way that you're doing this and then Rick Jones says what you're doing is is essentially revenge this is not justice this is revenge now there's a fine line between the two there's a very fine line between the two and is all about emotional state and motivation but what happens is this moment when the Hulk seems to be vulnerable is seized on by dr. strange for the purpose of invading his mind now when he jumps into his head and and basically encounters the Incredible Hulk he does what he can to go against him but also allows you know various other superheroes to step into the fray for the purpose of trying to take the Incredible Hulk out more so the Matt but you know Hulk going against Hercules you know Hulk only against those guys it doesn't make a much of a difference you know The Incredible Hulk is still able to tear them down and why dr. strange wasn't able to really stay in his head is because an Incredible Hulk effectively had to open himself up whether he intended to or not dr. strange could not smash down the door of the incredible hooks mine he has to open it up and the fact that the Incredible Hulk is so angry the fact that he's filled with so much rage makes that almost impossible so because of the fact that essentially all of the Avengers have failed because of really because of the earth superheroes are indeed like all the earth superheroes are incapable of taking down the Incredible Hulk in his world breaker Hall form general Thunderbolt Ross observing the situation says these guys have had their chance we're gonna step in now let's you know of mice and men is really whether it says I mean what hope does general Thunderbolt Ross really have against the Incredible Hulk right now I mean with all the with all the weapons of man you know there's nothing they can do here I mean if some of the most formidable superheroes if the x-men couldn't take out world breaker Hulk if the Avengers couldn't take out world breaker Hulk if Greek gods like Hercules and Ares could not take out world breaker Hulk what hope do rockets and bullets have but what this does show is that humanity is putting up a legitimate fight but it also shows the idea that not everyone is okay with what the Incredible Hulk is doing a lot of people are a lot of general public are satisfied with the Incredible Hulk for a couple of different reasons firstly because they watch the Civil War event unfold they saw the hubris of some of these superheroes and believing they could control the world but they also saw the Incredible Hulk was unjustly sent away by the Illuminati the Illuminati took the law into their own hands and decided the world was better without Hulk never gave him a trial never gave me a chance to defend himself literally just sent him to the far side of the galaxy and so a lot of people are very sympathetic to where the incredible Hawks coming from right now but it's also because of the fact that people just love seeing [ __ ] get blown up I don't know about you guys but I love seeing stuff get destroyed there's a reason why a video called The Incredible Hulk kills all those superheroes and becomes Galactus Herald has a million views because you guys love watching The Incredible Hulk just rip stuff up but Doctor Strange again is doing what he can to try to try to get into the mind of the Incredible Hulk but he doesn't really have an opportunity here but finally with the incredible hoax distraction where the incredible hoax anger and his rage subsiding even if only for a moment it allows dr. strange to fully enter his mind now this is Doctor Strange trying to really calm the Hulk down from the inside out because when he gets in there the incredible hoax mind is a bear wasteland of destruction and death now the reason why is because the Hulk at this moment right now will breaker Hulk it's not that he's just angry I mean he is but it's also because he's living in one moment in time and that was one of the coolest things about this why I loved Greg packs run with with whirl breaker hooks so much is because while he's being attacked on the outside by the armies of Thunderbolt lost while they're trying to take him down while the superheroes are watching this unfold inside his mind he's having a discussion with Doctor Strange now strange is really bluffing here he says I could snuff you out you know with a simple move of my fingers you know Doctor Strange is full of [ __ ] I mean that he couldn't do that let's be honest you know I guess he could but it would you would require a level of power that he doesn't currently have right now like it would require him to tap into energies that he's not wanting to tap into that's why I said before I mean he could but it would require him to delve into forms of magic they doesn't want to delve into now in terms of just his basic raw power you know he could put up a formidable fight but at the end of the day it wouldn't really be much of a challenge and so what happens is he says look man show me showing your true face show me what's going on behind the scenes you know let down your anger for a moment and tell me where you're coming from and the Hulk says look you know and this is actually this is beautifully written in terms of how it's done the hoax says my wife's name was Kyra and I hear her voice all the time that's all the whole cures he hears her voice when she whispered her honey words to him you know he hears her voice what she tells him that she loves him when she says this is your home you know it's the Hulk living in this moment living in this time when he had a Kingdom on on Sekar living in this time when he had a future with his life when he was going to have a child living in the love that he had at that moment in his life and then in seconds it all came crashing down because of the ship that the illuminati sent him in now this is really cool man because this is the calm before the storm all right Doctor Strange finally has banner calm down and he says hey look we've known each other forever you know we've known each other for so long we've known each other for for years and years and years and he says I know who you are at heart like you do not want to do this you know you do not want to be someone that wants to go through and kill superheroes you know he says we fought enemies we fought we fought foes that people thought it was insurmountable but we always came out on top and he says this is no different you know the enemy here is your hate the enemy here is your anger your rage and you have to fight this you have to calm down and so once banners finally finally chilled Doctor Strange essentially takes him on his way says hey man look I've got you you know come with me and as friends we will solve this problem and banner says yep and I got you to Homeslice and he goes back into the incredible hook for what great writing like what good writing in this story so he's back to a world breaker Hulk and he smashes the hands of Doctor Strange now this is important because Doctor Strange cannot effectively cast spells if he cannot use his hands and if he cannot speak if he loses either one of those things he's 50% power at best and so the Incredible Hulk is effectively crippled Doctor Strange taken away his ability to be the sorcerer supreme and so at this point it's just a matter of time before the Incredible Hulk finds him and The Incredible Hulk you know takes him as a prisoner because Doctor Strange is effectively helpless following that he goes through and just rips apart the armies of general Thunderbolt Ross it's go time is what this is it's this heat from the word go The Incredible Hulk just starts smashing into everyone and this is why I love this so much because then we switched to Maria Hill because remember Maria Hill is really the person running shield right now with Tony Stark out of commission and so she's speaking with the President of the United States and the president contacts Robert Reynolds he says look I'm the President of the United States and I'm asking you for your help I'm the most powerful man in the free world when it comes to government authority and I need your help and Robert Reynolds just kind of like me maybe I will maybe I won't you know I'm not really sure that I want to and this is cool now in terms of Roberts character I mean on the surface that's that's that's the case you know on the surface it's well you know maybe I will maybe I won't he's kind of walking back and forth but we also know that ferrata Reynolds this is a very dangerous game then the reason why is because all it takes is for a moment of weakness all it takes is a moment for him to accidentally let his guard down and the voids coming back this this multiversal destructive entity is coming back and it will kill everything and if Robert Reynolds cannot keep it in check it will wipe out all things in existence that's what we saw the siege the siege what if story was the void just emerging with 100% of its power and killing everything in existence spreading out into the universe and just causing destruction across all of existence that is what Robert Reynolds is absolutely afraid of so on one half he wants to stop the Hulk on the other half he's terrified of what may happen if this unbridled force you know you know fully emerges and comes out here and so what we end up doing is we transition with the warbound of the Incredible Hulk making its way into the Arcanum of Doctor Strange now what Doctor Strange does here because of the fact that his hands are broken because of the fact that he's not able to practice magic the way that he needs to what he does is he effectively summons the entity of zom this does this other dimensional entity it's it's huge because this is effectively greg pak and dr. strange saying the Incredible Hulk strength right now is on par with cosmic entities and the reason why I say that is because zom was a being that not even the ancient one can defeat you know zom is a is a being whose magical power transcends almost all cosmic entities as far as I'm aware there was a story and I came over that story for life me I came to what it's called what is she was in well there is a story where zom had arrived on earth and had overpowered Dormammu and Dormammu sister Doctor Strange couldn't stop him ancient one couldn't stop him in the end it required the Living Tribunal to step in and stop zom and send him back to his own dimension like that's what it took it took the second most powerful being under the one above all a multiversal construct with infinite power to stop zom now here's kind of the kicker with us with Doctor Strange he's not going to have the full might of zom instead he's going to have you know a portion of zombies power he's gonna channel it but it's just because of the fact that if dr. strange were to fully possess all the energies of zombies as far as I'm aware if he were to fully possess all of them it resulted his body was being destroyed most likely he just simply couldn't handle that much magical energy all right so we are continuing our discussion on World War Hulk and hopefully you guys in the background those those you guys watching this video they're drilling in the background in the next place over and so hopefully it's not too loud it's not you know too distracting or anything but for those of you guys who join my channel who joined comments explained when we were covering like Red Hulk you notice we kind of stopped and the reason why is because I literally came back this week and we're just doing ketchup so it was Planet Hulk world where Hulk and what this video will do is it'll effectively wrap back around into why it is a Red Hulk emerged it'll launch into that new era of the Incredible Hulk under the writing of Geoff low because again this is kind of the continuation of Greg packs run on the care I guess the conclusion of greg packs run on the character and so um you'll find the playlist for the incredible hulk down in the description for all the whole content that i have so far and what i'll do is i'll go ahead and throw a world war hulk and planet hulk in chronological order of the hulk series that way you guys can literally just kind of follow along with the incredible hulk going from greg packs initial run with planet hulk up until you know the conclusion of this event although it did kind of predate planet hulk a little bit but you guys understand what i'm saying in terms of the most notable stories of a world war hulk under the writing of greg pack up into the modern day but in the last video we had talked about how Doctor Strange had made a pact with the extra-dimensional demon named zom who of course was extremely powerful and it requires a living tribunal to take him out and so Doctor Strange has quite a bit of power here and this is proven in the fact that he goes toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk I mean well I wouldn't say toe-to-toe he's gonna hold his own for a little while against the Incredible Hulk the issue with this is that word we're talking about Doctor Strange handling a level of power that's so extreme that he can't keep it going for the long haul now with regards to the hook himself was funny about this is a Doctor Strange almost feels himself being corrupted by by zoms power and that's really the way it works no we're talking about beings in the Marvel Universe from extra dimensions when a person takes on the power of one of those beings that power will corrupt and that power will alter their perception it will take away from what it is that makes them who they are and turn them into something much much darker and that's what happens with Doctor Strange the Power Sword stream that hate to anger the rage of azam is so extreme that it actually permeates throughout his entire being now this all really comes to a head when Doctor Strange loses sight of protecting those civilians that are watching the fight unfold as he's fighting the Incredible Hulk and when he throws him into a building the building comes crashing down around him and The Incredible Hulk is actually able to save some of these people now he's able to break them out of the rubble and Doctor Strange immediately becomes remorseful but this goes towards the incredible Hawks larger plan of depicting Doctor Strange along with the rest of the Illuminati as villains at heart as opposed to actual superheroes and this goes to his credence every when it came down to it Doctor Strange lost sight of the bigger picture I mean he basically became a bad guy and in doing so he almost cost the lives of innocent people in his blind rage and so the Incredible Hulk turns it on Doctor Strange immediately and just overpowers him in the extreme he just starts tearing him apart piece by piece now again Rick Jones tries to neutralize the situation he'll again you know with Rick Jones as a character he kind of has a lot li-huei here he's really one of the few characters of Marvel Comics they can really talk to the incredible hope the way that he wants to because the Incredible Hulk doesn't see him as an enemy the incredible excuse him as a friend now in truth right now The Incredible Hulk seeds Rick Jones is a guy who's just kind of getting in the way but Rick Jones poses such an insignificant threat to the desires of the Incredible Hulk that he really doesn't pay much attention to him and said he just kind of considers him as an annoyance I do that just goes in periodically and kind of gets in the way and so initially where Incredible Hulk had the ability to kill Rick Jones he doesn't and said what he does is he takes those captured superheroes to the Klaw tutorial arena that he's created at Madison Square Garden then basically says you're all gonna start fighting each other now this is not arbitrary in fact the incredible Hulk's making a point and what he does before each of these guys you know begins to get into the fray and before he subjects each of them to the experiences that he had he actually allows regular people to stand up and voice their concerns now this is a perfect example with Greg Carr talking about this this is a perfect example of people who don't know what they're asking for and what I mean is that under normal circumstances where I guess in virtually any situation when things are bad enough people will believe what they want to believe and in this situation things have become extremely dire in the Marvel Universe and I don't mean just the Incredible Hulk waging war I mean everything up to this point civil war the idea of the superhuman Registration Act the fifty state initiative things before that you know operation galactic storm the kree-skrull war you know maximum security all these events had just continually led to the fact that humanity was becoming fed up with superheroes as they exist to now but in their blindness in their anger and in the refusal or their inability to know all the facts they make the best decisions they can but they make boneheaded decisions and what they do is they say well we want the Incredible Hulk slaw now in truth the law the Incredible Hulk is posing here is solving problems through gladiatorial combat I can almost guarantee you none of these people would survive the GLaDOS war you'll think but they look to the short-term they don't look to the long-term it'll look to the question of what what happens five years from now what happens 10 15 years from now instead they're looking at what happens tomorrow now in truth this is Greg Pak just showing how dire the situation is these people are so desperate for something other than what they've had that they'll take virtually anything if it's not what they have had and so what we have are individuals speaking up we have on the the nephew of Bill Foster who was killed when Reed Richards and Tony Stark cloned Thor and that ragnarok character began tearing through all the superheroes and killed bill foster is basically victims of people who have lost loved ones because of the actions of the Earth's superheroes but again it's just one of these instances where they look at all the earth superheroes and they see a problem instead of saying are there some super heroes out there who were genuinely doing good things and so again from here we basically switched to the Incredible Hulk putting each of these guys through the ringer in the sense that he says when he first arrived he had to fight these various monsters and these organisms and so on that were on the planet and he makes them go against you know one of these giant monsters of course that monster is essentially defeated but then he says the next thing I had to do is I had to fight my own kind or I had to fight people like me in the gladiatorial games using obedience disks and of course these guys have already been planted with the obedience dish you know Reed Richards blackballed Tony Stark dr. strange they've already had obedience test thrown on them and so they essentially have to do what they're told or else it'll fry their brain in the process and so he says you guys now have to go against each other and fight each one of each other and they don't they don't want to I mean they they have to but they don't really want to they're doing it because they're forced to you're done because they actually wants you now this again is where Greg Pak basically says that people will always become their own worst enemies and the reason why is because while this events unfolding while this conflict is taking place the people who are watching it begin to switch away from yeah these heroes they need to understand that it's not okay to do whatever they want to to basically just start demanding blood they're like kill kill kill kill kill and this shows that people will become swept up in this situation and it shows the fact that people don't usually think rationally in times of desperation they think irrationally and so what we have is Tony Stark effectively using whatever tools are available to him in order to hack into the technology of the of the death's-head gar because again they're basically just machines and so as he hatched him to the death's-head guard he is able to turn them momentarily against some of the forces of the Incredible Hulk the issue with this is that with Elway using the staff to control the obedience tiss she says well fine if you want to use the machines then we can use the machines and she forces Tony Stark to use the machines to basically attack all of them and so again it's really showing the Illuminati that they don't have a way out here I mean there's not a way for them to just kind of end and walk away from this whole thing instead there's consequences they're going to have to fight to the death and so finally you know after all this is said and done with all this being broadcast on TV or with Tony Stark on the verge of being killed and the decision being made by the Incredible Hulk based on whether he gives us up or a thumbs-down Robert Reynolds has had enough well riddles is tired of watching all this unfold he's tired of seeing the Incredible Hulk become so violent he's tired of seeing some of the Earth's greatest heroes forced to fight against one another he's tired of standing by and watching all this unfold not only that he also knows he's the only person that can go against the Incredible Hulk and that's what he does he says okay you know what let's listen this let's let's bring this conflict to an end let's finally have this stop and so he takes off for Madison Square Garden now again it takes him a few minutes to get there but I would really say seconds for him to get there but in the time that it takes to get there we again have you know Reed Richards who's more or less being forced to kill Tony Stark but while this is happening Tony Stark is successfully able to hack into the obedience disks and effectively forced his obedience disk to to be dissolved and allow him to move freely where the very least to get away from the conflict and so in response to this Reed Richards keeps trying to reiterate to the Incredible Hulk we're not the reason why your people will kill now we'll actually find out that he's right that the shuttle was not a bomb it was not designed to explode after some predetermine amount of time instead someone screwed with it somebody set it up to blow up but before they could really get any further you know Reed Richards says if you're not willing to listen that I'm gonna give you one final chance to surrender and the incredible hook says or what and the century finally shows up now this is so cool because the century at this point is just unbridled power this is like the the peak of his character whenever people talk about how powerful this century is whatever they say here is how powerful the century is whinnies that is absolute max this is the moment they're referring to in terms of its capabilities I mean the Incredible Hulk is on a whole nother level of strength but the Sentry is right up there with I mean these guys are even these guys are dead even well the cool thing about this is the century almost never lets loose this is not new to the Incredible Hulk you know freaking out lashing out destroying stuff it's a level of strength is higher than it's ever been but his mentality is much the same as it's always been before he just wants to be left alone right now it's revenge you know he's taking it out on taking out the Illuminati but for the most part you know his experience that lashing out and tearing stuff up and fighting and destroying things is not new before the century he always held back he always never let his power get to the extreme because one I mean he's an agoraphobic he's terrified of his own power but too because of the fact that if he did let loose there was always a chance that the void would come out but in this instant in this moment he doesn't care he's actually relishing he's celebrating in the idea of just letting this unbridled strength ripped through The Incredible Hulk and absolutely just pummel him left and right now again you know that the Hulk is able to withstand all this just because of the fact that his durability is so extreme but for for the century himself I mean he's just he's he's excited about being able to cut loose and he even says that you know he says does it always feel this good when you when you let loose does always feel this nice when you just finally let it all go and let your rage completely take over because again the century has never really had this chance before something else I also want you to notice here the way Greg Pak is depicting this situation the centuries in total control he is he's not losing intro there's no concern of the of the void coming out this century is an absolute total control of himself not only that when the Incredible Hulk goes to punch him this is again Greg Pak reminding us these guys are even like these guys are on an even playing field now this battle could not just go on infinitely I mean if it were to continue on really any further than it is right now the massive amount of energy that's being expended between their blows the massive amount of energy that centuries letting off would annihilate the entirety of New York City I mean this is really like atomic bombs trading blows with one another I mean the sheer force of impact from The Incredible Hulk hitting century or century hitting the incredible is more than enough to shatter a building let alone lay waste to the entire city at in and of itself and so in response to this you know in the background Reed Richards Tony Stark these guys are grabbing these satellites grabbing all the weapons they can deck it that really pose any measure of substantial damage capability and they say we've got to hone these in on these two guys we've got a bum barred them with enough energy that their bodies effectively shut down their bodies just can't handle it anymore and they revert back to their normal human forms now the intention is to launch this weapon but before they do but we ended up finding out that you know that Robert Reynolds and Bruce Banner actually just fight each other down to the point that they're physically exhausted you know now some of this is because of the fact that Robert Reynolds is just letting off so much energy that is continually calming the Hulk down to the point that he reverts but at the same time it's also just a massive expenditure of energy I mean this is how hard these guys were fighting they were fighting to the point that in truth they were just exhausted physically mentally they had nothing left to give and this is so cool because this is basically you know Greg Pak saying what it all comes down to it these are the only guys when it comes to physical strength you know when it comes to just sheer raw strength these are the two most powerful beings on the face of the planet on earth in Marvel Comics world breaker Hulk and the century they're the only two they could ever stand are there yeah the I guess centuries the only one they can ever stand up to a world breaker Hulk when everybody else failed Colossus failed juggernaut failed century was the only one that could pull it off and so the idea is that with Bruce Banner returning back to his normal form everybody except for you know here on the shame the war down are pretty shocked to see that Bruce banners just a guy you know the Incredible Hulk is just a regular person now here on the shame uses this as an example to say well you know within each of us is an unbridled force of power you know a force of nature something like that but meek does not want to see this in me does not want to see the world you know the world go peacefully he wants to see all these heroes destroyed and this is when we learned the truth he goes to try to kill Bruce Banner in order to you know force the Hulk back out again but when Bruce Banner dodges out of the way I guess when he's pushed out of the way by by Rick Jones Rick Jones is impaled instead and let me tell you something Rob Ford let me tell you something right now and this this is this is for really reals all right Bruce Banner is okay with you with you hitting him he's okay with you with you pummeling him because the Incredible Hulk will come out and it'll protect Bruce Banner you know what he's not okay with you know what he's not happy with harming the people he cares about woe betide the poor soul that harms someone that Bruce Banner cares about and that's exactly what happens me impales Rick Jones and Bruce Banner drops the hammer on him he goes right back into the Incredible Hulk again and just starts ripping into meek because of his mind Meek's an enemy now meek harmed one of his friends only that meek says hey I was your first friend and Hulk says no Rick Jones was my first friend Rick Jones was the first friend I ever had and that's why I love Greg patch riding because he says hey guys look this all comes full circle you know yes Bruce Banner is a force of nature when he's the Incredible Hulk yeah it's an unstoppable force just cutting a swath I know you guys love it when I say that he's cutting a swath throughout the superhero community the x-men couldn't stop him The Avengers couldn't stop him the Fantastic Four couldn't stop dr. strange I a man no one could stop him he was unbridled Unleashed unrelenting power just beating against the superhero industry as it existed in the Marvel Comics universe but when it came down to it all it took was one of his warbound impaling his friend for the Incredible Hulk to turn code and begin ripping all of them apart that's what he does he just basically starts tearing it all of them now with meek in the final moments of his life I mean you know with these these last few moments here and there he says I'm the one that did this to you you know he says after you defeated the Red King you formed a kingdom you had a wife you had a child coming you know we lived in the Crown City it was peaceful times but that's not who you are you're a force of nature you are a destructive force just cutting through and tearing through everything that you come across and that's what you were made for that's who you are you cannot deny your nature and he says you forgot who you were when you married Kyra when you had a child you know when you fathered a child when you formed a kingdom when you ushered in an era of peace and United the clans on Sekar you forgot who you were and I set off that bomb and I destroyed the city because I wanted you to remember who you were The Incredible Hulk [Music] wrong answer The Incredible Hulk um he doesn't like initially he doesn't even do anything he's literally just in the background watching these events unfolding this man let me tell you something people let me tell you something Rob core fan boy this is when the Incredible Hulk is at his absolute peak it's it's momentary or it's it's it's a moment in time I mean this is the equivalent of Thor you know absorbing the runes and becoming the multiversal rune King Thor I mean this is this is the Hulk beyond any level of strength he's ever been even in this moment Anton all right you know meek is killed by one of the warbound by the brood you know that brood species who you know is outraged of the fact that meek would just sacrifice millions of people and their own Kingdom for the purpose of you know jump-starting the Hawks rage The Hulk himself when they turn around and they say hey man like are you okay he's like no I'm not and he just freaks I mean he smashes his hand you know he doesn't collapse shatters almost shatters the entirety of the New York skyline and his I mean this is just I've never seen The Incredible Hulk so mad before but but the kicker about this is the incredible hoax not mad at anybody else but himself because in his mind he brought all this on and not only that in his rage he stomps on the ground now we're told that he shakes the eastern seaboard I would disagree I think he shakes the world like I think with some with rage like this like he just he almost breaks the world and he says that he says you know fire your weapons do whatever you need to do you know calm me down before I destroy the world because the Hawks rage is just increasing I mean by the second he's getting madder and madder and madder and madder this is a true depiction of the infinite rage of the Incredible Hulk I mean there's no calming him down you know he just keeps getting madder and madder and angrier and angrier and stronger and stronger and it'll get to the point where he will destroy the world by stomping on the ground if he continues to get as angry as he's getting and so because of this you know Tony Stark says okay fine you know on this smart fire your weapons so they end up firing off you know the the weapons at all these different satellites and in response Bruce Banner is just bombarded with this massive amount of energy discharge and it forces the Incredible Hulk back into his normal form but you know as Bruce Banner this this really just kind of kind of rounds out the story because as banner you know he's effectively subdued I mean he's not dead but he's effectively subdued and what they do is they essentially tranquilize him to a degree of course they take his warbound into custody and they end up taking him out to the middle of the Mojave Desert taking out to a facility and then putting him three miles underground so that if he ever were to lose it again he'd be stuck on the ground and people would have at least some measure of notification that he was gonna lose his mind but this right here wraps back around alright so this brings us to the introduction of Red Hulk and Jeff Loubs Jeff elopes Incredible Hulk run his his one-year long run in two volumes but if you guys are new here to comics explain and you guys enjoyed this video make sure you hit the subscribe button if
