This Is Hulk (World of Reading, Level 1)

Product Information

Since December 1984, reprints of the first issue have displayed the original grey coloring, with the fictional canon specifying that the Hulk's skin had initially been grey. They go on to offer up an alternate origin, in which a Hulk might be created by biological experimentation with adrenal glands and GFP. Using this knowledge, he creates advanced technology dubbed "Bannertech", which is on par with technological development from Tony Stark or Doctor Doom. Joe Fixit later gained the ability to transform into his version of Red Hulk form when in the Below-Place. He never wanted to hurt anyone; he merely groped his torturous way through a second life trying to defend himself, trying to come to terms with those who sought to destroy him.

In " Planet Hulk", the Illuminati decide the Hulk is too dangerous to remain on Earth and send him away by rocket ship which crashes on Planet Sakaar. After a four-part tie-in to the " House of M" storyline and a one-issue epilogue, David left the series once more, citing the need to do non-Hulk work for the sake of his career.Colorist Stan Goldberg, however, had problems with the grey coloring, resulting in different shades of grey, and even green, in the issue. Bruce Banner can be killed during the day, but the Immortal Hulk will resurrect at night and take vengeance. In the " Age of X" reality, Bruce Banner was a scientist who was under contract from the United States government to build a device that would depower any mutant.

There have been explorations about the real-world possibility of Hulk's gamma-radiation-based origin. This was originally conceived as a flashback series, set between the end of his original, short-lived solo title and the beginning of his feature in Tales to Astonish. After the Event Hulk was recruited alongside Mockingbird, Tigra, Wonder Man and Hawkeye to fight Ultron However Hulk had been seemingly corrupted by the events of the Great Cataclysm, Hulk turned on his allies, ripping Tigra in half and puncturing Wonder Man, Wonder Man unleashed his energy against the Hulk, seemin Banner eventually re-combines with the Hulk when his cloned body is destroyed in an attempt to recreate his original transformation.Key supporting characters included Jim Wilson and Jarella, both of whom would make few appearances outside of this decade.
