The current Avengers movie canon is that Bruce Banner once shot himself in the mouth and the other guy spit it out. So an automatic weapon from a few feet away probably ain't gonna do it.

Was that filmed, or only mentioned in one of the films? I know it was in the opening cutscene to the movie tie-in game.

If anyone hasn't seen the Hulk Out List, it's worth a look. 131 actual reasons Banner hulked out in the TV show, including "Being stuck in a cab in New York rush hour traffic" and "Having two mean football players snap wet towels at him and shove him into the steam room."

I used to think so too, but defenders hulk is written like Lenny from "of mice and men" with the cheese dialled up to 11. He's more or less the spidey super stories version of hulk. When writers try to take hulk seriously it never works for me (didn't he eat people in something?)

That was Ultimate Hulk who ate people, including the Skrull stand-in Chitauri.

They originally filmed it as the opening to Incredible Hulk but cut it because they thought it was too dark.

goatface posted:

I'm sure I remember a comic with Banner getting nuked and the Hulk emerging from the blast.

In fact the speed of Hulking out changes from author to author, as does the speed in which he needs to change back to Bruce Banner.

One time in a Bruce Jones issue of Hulk*, Iron-Man and Hulk are shown being able to swap between their human and superhuman forms in the space of a single panel.
And I don't mean it was done to just save on room, it was like they were fighting, some person is about to walk into the room, and they switch back to human and pretend to be all buddy buddy and not let on that they are about to tear each other apart.


*= Warning: Humans should not attempt to read the Bruce Jones run on Hulk, even if he was one of the first writers to seriously do Iron-Man and Hulk interactions. Him, Layton/Michllene and Warren Ellis were the early pioneers of the Science Bro's.

I've never thought about it before but drat if ice-slides arent a ridiculously dangerous mode of transport, leaving free-standing unsupported arches of ice about a car wide and however long they are, waiting to break apart and squash any pedestrians underneath.

No-Prize Solution: The slides are actually frozen into mostly empty, but strong, lattices of ice at the microscopic level that give them less mass than solid chunks and let them more or less harmlessly evaporate or melt quickly after a few minutes.

That's also how they explain Hank Pym's ability to change size; he uses Pym Particles to draw matter from another dimension (or something like that). One time, his extra-dimensional mass gained sentience, turned evil and tried to take his place (or something like that).

Seriously, it this a thing with Hank Pym? His experiments becoming sentient, develop daddy issues and try to kill him?

Off the top of my head I can recall a Castle thinking to himself about killing a kid (child soldier, too far gone) in...the Marvel Knights line I believe, might be MAX; also the arc Ghosts of Innocents, where he chases a guy onto a kid's schoolbus that is then hit by a train (and he tortures himself with the guilt of that accident).

During the Infinity: Hunt mini series (the one that is all about the different schools for Super Children around the world) the Latverian class was shown as having a teacher who was a cross between Dr. Doom and a 1950's female school teacher. Bearing this in mind, I have to imagine that Kristoff's wetnurse was modelled to look like Mary Poppins.

Not that it'd really fly today, but Spider-man pretty much beat the crap out of Doom the first time they met. Although I guess he might've had some more tricks up his sleeve, he did decide to leave because the FF were showing up or something.

I just bring that up because I imagined a Latveria-born Spidey taking down the oppressive government and becoming KING SPIDER.
