Description
A founding Avenger, this Hulk remains permanently transformed with heightened intelligence and articulate speech after gamma exposure identical to Earth-616's origin. During a DISK demonstration on the Raft, Loki instigated a villain breakout. Hulk fought the Avengers' battle until captured into a DISK when villains seized Pepper Potts. Tim Gilliam later found his DISK, using Diablo's alchemy to force Hulk into attacking an air force base. Though Thor and Iron Man fell, Captain America and Spider-Man intervened, with Spider-Man destroying the mind-control potion. Akira then secured Hulk in a new DISK.
Requiring a green biocode partner for release, Hulk paired with Edward Grant, the team's youngest and most insecure member. Despite Ed's initial cowardice, Hulk recognized his value, particularly his intelligence and encyclopedic supervillain knowledge. When Ed considered quitting and Hawkeye threatened confiscation, Hulk defended him as a great partner. This bond fostered Hulk's appreciation for strategy over brute force, often relying on Ed's battle plans.
Hulk faced diverse challenges: bonded to the Venom symbiote after its separation from Spider-Man, he became monstrous until the Avengers used sonic attacks, enabling Hulk to expel it via Build Up Armor. Against Ultron's uprising, he battled Omega bodies and created an opening for Wasp to deliver the crippling virus. When Baron Blood vampirically controlled Ed, Hulk used their synchronization to trigger Ed's biocode and break the influence.
In the final conflict against Dormammu and Loki, Hulk joined the Helicarrier defense after secondary heroes fell against Loki's Mindless Ones. Post-Dormammu's defeat, Loki absorbed his power, overwhelming even the Build Up Armor-clad Avengers until his own downfall. Nick Fury subsequently freed Hulk permanently using Dr. Nozomu Akatsuki's new biocode installer.
Hulk possesses immense strength and durability, presumably matching Earth-616. Key weaknesses included DISK dependency—requiring Edward Grant's green biocode for temporary release before mandatory return—and visible steam rising from his skin indicating extreme body heat.
