NAME = HULK
SECRET IDENTITY = BRUCE BANNER

SPECIES = GAMMA MUTATE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CREATURE
PERSONALITY = GRUMPY

SIZE/HEIGHT = LARGE 8

LIFE = 7

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 7
DEFENSE = 8

POINTS = 450

HULK BEST THERE IS!
At the start of the game, choose another Unique Hero you control to be Hulk's Rival. After revealing an Order Marker on a card that has an Avenger Marker or is his Rival's and taking a turn with that Hero, if that Hero inflicted a wound this turn and is in clear sight of Hulk, you must immediately reveal an Order Marker on this card and take a turn with Hulk, if possible. You may not take any additional turns with other figures you control.

JUMP, THROW, SMASH!
Instead of moving Hulk normally, you may choose Hulk or an adjacent figure and a figure or obstacle that is 3 to 8 clear sight spaces from Hulk. Place the first chosen figure on an empty space within 10 spaces of its current placement and is adjacent to or on top of the second chosen figure or obstacle. One at a time, roll an unblockable attack die against each chosen figure that is not Hulk. Figures other than Hulk moved by this special power do not take leaving engagement attacks.

THUNDERCLAP SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 4.
Choose 2 spaces in a straight line from Hulk. All figures on the chosen spaces, and all figures other than Hulk within 1 space of the chosen spaces, are affected by this special attack. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Symbiotes roll 1 fewer defense die against this special attack.

I just went with Incredible Hulk II here for the name, but does anything else fit? Could he just be Hulk?

Re: The Book of Incredible Hulk (II) - Breath
 

I'm cool either way as far as mentioning his credibility in the name. It's a little weird to have "Incredible" in there, but it's precedent at this point. Don't think any of his other monikers really fit this card, but I'm not an expert.

Has Avenging Hulk ever been a thing?

Some comic art options:

Here is Hulk with some friends, which would fit the team-up/Avengers concept for the card, but he isn't doing anything exciting.

This one looks pretty good for a team-up kind of deal:

Kind of like this one, just because it has Punisher in it.

We could just use this comic art and slide him into the Venom release! :)

Could do more of a 'thinking' Hulk vibe since his stats don't change:

Re: The Book of Incredible Hulk (II) - Breath
 

Seriously thinking about changing the title here to just Hulk. Anyone have any objections?

Re: The Book of Incredible Hulk (II) - Breath
 

I'd be moderately annoyed that he's listed in a different place in the books, but that's Hasbro and vI's problem really, not this guy's.

Re: The Book of Incredible Hulk (II) - Breath
 

Yeah, I'd probably prefer just Hulk here. It's one of those things where I think perpetuating Hasbro's weirdness does more harm than good.

Bruiser as a class is going to tie him in with the X-Force Investigations crew - not sure if that's really ideal? It's probably not the best setup for him, since his first power is all about him doing the semi-bonding, but Hulk with some Multiple Men as backup isn't anything to sneeze at either.

I'll go on record that I don't like non-leaders giving out Avengers markers, and I particularly don't like Hulk doing it. Hulk is barely an Avenger - he left the team in the SECOND ISSUE, and didn't formally rejoin for another 50 years (in 2012). He doesn't like the Avengers. He doesn't consider himself an Avenger. Other figures being Avengers or not being Avengers has no bearing on how he acts.

In short, I like the power, don't like it being an Avengers Marker.
