The first thing readers notice is the green, hulking humanoid creature on the cover of the book; but, on the inside, this muscular monster’s alter ego is Robert Bruce Banner who is everything the Hulk is not. Banner is a physically weak, shut in who is emotionally reserved physicist who specializes in gamma radiation. The two personalities seem independent of each other-- and even hold hatred towards
"The Incredible Hulk" is no doubt an ideal version of the Hulk saga for those who found Ang Lee's "Hulk" (2003) too talky, or dare I say, too thoughtful. But not for me. It sidesteps the intriguing aspects of Hulkdom and spends way too much time in, dare I say, noisy and mindless action sequences. By the time the Incredible Hulk had completed his hulk-on-hulk showdown with the Incredible Blonsky, I had been using my Timex with the illuminated dial way too often. WATCH NOW Consider the dilemma
responsible for shedding light on modern historical travesties, it is my conviction that prior to the onset of “graphic reportage” comics held a more important socio-political relevance.

This is it, Planet Hulk. It was incredible (get it?). I didn’t expect it to be an epic adventure story, but it is. It collects The Incredible Hulk issues #92-105.

Next on the list of heroes to analyze is Dr. Bruce Banner or, as he is called when in hero form, The Incredible Hulk. Dr. Banner is a man victimized by something living in his own psyche. He has a monster that his must mentally, and often times physically, control; otherwise it will escape and wreak havoc on anything or anyone nearby and pave a path of destruction in its wake.

“Disney Bought Marvel!” a headline on the financial page of the Nashua Telegraph screams. Disney, although renowned for bringing wondrous stories to light, won’t do as good a job as some people seem to think.

Unfortunately, Disney has taken what many people have come to know and love and changed it into
society. Rose writes, “Through serial adaptation, the story of Jekyll and Hyde yields a paratragic, predictive investigation into frightening themes; the process of adaptation reveals itself to be a cultural too, used to retain and refurbish images that contain too much anxiety, or hit too close to home, to be allowed to languish” (Rose 156). In the film Fight Club, the political message being relayed through the scenes if of the government keeping its citizens under control. Susan Bordo explains
a power that would be as dangerous as mine, a power that has the potential to be monumentally dangerous there would need to be an expert level of self control. The way I would teach myself control is how Bruce Banner taught himself to control the Hulk, by controlling my heart rate. This would be my best method for myself because I have anger issues that I have gotten better at keeping tame, instead of exploding and regretting my actions later, but sometimes you just can't hold everything in and

be...The Incredible Hulk. Yes, I know he doesn't exist in real life per say, but let's be imaginative. He's amazing. I'll just begin there. He is easily the greatest superhero of all time.

Everyone is unique, every group consists of different individuals who are even though brought to group by similarities and similar interests, however each of them differences from one another.
