Re: Not really, that is the nature of The Hulk. nossy Send a noteboard - 09/05/2012 03:13:53 PM
Think of him as a 2 year old, with the strength to literally lift a mountain. When angry, he is the scariest thing in the world. In the Marvel Ultimate Universe he has even engaged in rape and cannibalism, regularly ripping people’s heads off, as well as plain wanton. However when he is not enraged, he can be kind and gentle; there are many comic book scenes with hulk and forest creatures (think Disney Snow White and the birdies).

This is the appeal of the Hulk as a character, the contrast between extremes.

..and yes, it is Banner’s fear of the Hulk that essentially makes him uncontrollable. The best analysis I have ever heard is that Banner is actually a trauma induced schizophrenic. He does not so much as get mad then transform into the Hulk and gain power, but slip into a different personality willing to use the power of the Hulk that always exists in Banner.

That's all interesting, but I have to admit that I thought he was able to avoid hurting people he knew or at which his anger wasn't directed. Though, I suppose a case could be made that says he was angry at her. She did bring him back.
