The Hulk

The Hulk is a beloved and iconic character, a founding Avenger, and participant in numerous cosmic events. He is often underestimated, but this thread aims to rectify that. Different personas of Hulk include Savage Hulk (strongest, scrappy, resourceful), Joe Fixit (most clever, strategic fighter, significantly weaker but still a beast), Professor Hulk (smartest scientifically, intelligent Banner-like, but struggles with rage), and Green Scar (likely the wisest, seemingly weaker than Savage Hulk based on feats, intelligence hinders rage, from World War Hulk).
