For over 50 years, the Incredible Hulk has been smashing his way through the Marvel Universe and into the hearts of fans. Whether you’ve discovered the tale of Bruce Banner and his other self through comics, TV, or film, get the whole story here…
Following a strange side-trip featuring an appearance by Kluh, the “Hulk’s hulk,” in AXIS #4, the infamous green giant returned to his quest as the highly intelligent Doc Green to round up and “cure” all gamma-spawned personages.

Finally, in HULK #14, emerald and scarlet Hulks threw down for what would become their last fracas. Doc Green managed to take his crimson counterpart’s Hulk powers away in HULK #15, leaving only General “Thunderbolt” Ross, awaiting punishment for his crimes as Red Hulk.
