10Identities

Obvious, but important.

Everyone knows the ever-lovable Bruce Banner is the not-so-jolly-green-giant who is a core member of the Avengers.

9Hulk-Form’s Intelligence

Not every Hulk has a lower IQ.

8Weaknesses

One Hulk’s weakness is another Hulk’s power.

Much like Superman, Hulk doesn’t have too many weaknesses in pretty much any iteration.

However, the ones he does have are very powerful.

In fact, Hulk is farweaker in the movies than in the comics.

7Moral Alignment

Not every Hulk is a good guy!

Eventually, though, the two found solace and are now one and the same.

Hulk was burdened onto Banner by accident; the scientist never wanted this curse.

Thunderbolt Ross did want the power.

Betty met her end from radiation poisoning, which Ross was quick to link to the doctor-turned-avenger.

His rage and grief led him to want a life of Red Hulk-ing.

5Creation

“The gamma just unleashed what was already there.”

As stated, Thunderbolt Ross sought out his Red Hulk transformation after the loss of Betty Ross.

While Hulk is the product of an accident,Red Hulk is the product of an experiment.

4Control Over Identities

“Split personality” doesn’t come in red.

Another classic Hulk-ism is Banner and his alter-persona having quite the internal conflict.

They may come from the same root but are very different branches.

They don’t get along and never have (for the most part, that is).

3Combat Styles

Anger makes one… messy.

He’s often depicted as more ape-like in his movements and demeanor, which means he’s very brawler-style.

But, regardless,the original Red Hulk has a very dangerous combat style.

Anger is a defining feature of the Hulk.

The same cannot be said for Red Hulk and his anger.

It’s a major weakness, as he can overheat and become disoriented.

This warming element of his abilities comes directly from the difference in power set that he has with Hulk.

1Radiation Powers

They don’t just get strong!

While Hulk may have gotten his powers from gamma radiation, he isn’t directly using it.

On the other hand, Red Hulk is a completely different story.

The Red Hulk can absorb any sort of radiation rays.
