Rebirth of the Gamma Giant


 

     Marvel has made it clear the universe is going to be realigned. No matter how strong Hulk gets he can't overcome his main antagonists...Marvel Think Tank. What does this mean for us Hulk fans? Marvel is doing a DC New 52 move after Secret Wars and Battle World. How this affects our favorite gamma beast is what I am waiting on. I have been scouring the internet for any tidbits of info pertaining to this subject. What I have found out is Gerry Duggan will be staying on after Omega Hulk. And has stated he wouldn't of started with a smart Hulk from a clean slate. He was left this baggage from the previous tenants. Good chance Marvel might let him start from a clean slate after Battle World.

     Which leaves the question. Which Hulk persona will be the dominant? Will we see a parade of two or three different Hulk personalities emerge? One can only imagine. Since I am a gambling man. My money will be Marvel brings back Savage Hulk and he is not a team player. To me Savage Hulk can embody gravage Hulk attributes of speech. I do not want to ever see Greg Pak's Hulk Dad again. I am sorry to all the Pak fans who believe he does no wrong. I prefer my Hulk always fucking scary and very volatile, boiling over with rage. I see the reboot as a breath of fresh air. A chance to relive why hero and villain fear Hulk.

     One thing I thought was missing from Hulk the past six or so years. Is the military aspect. There was a time when a openly or secret military coup was waged against Hulk non-stop. Hulk not really having too many allies or friends. Everyone uses or needs Hulk..but he doesn't need them. The Bruce Banner and Hulk dynamic shared psyche needs to be explored more. Reading a whole issue or two about a story in Banner's mind wasn't consider filler..but added to character growth. Seeing and witnessing the inner struggle to restrain the beast or beasts depending on the writer. Was something that has always fascinated me. Him losing control should always be at the forefront of his number one fears. And when Banner loses control we see why he fears it so much. Hopefully Gerry Duggan has a say on what Hulk he wants. Most fans would love to see Gravage Hulk as a healthy compromise. Me I just a want a dangerous Savage Hulk who goes from 50 to 100 real quick. If you look tough he wants a piece of you friend or foe. Hulk must always show how strong and tough he is. Hulk is the bully's bully. End of rant!
