If you make him angry, it becomes green, tall and dangerous. Even someone who has never seen a Marvel film knows this rule and knows that the Hulk In one moment a peaceful scientist and can be a monstrous beast in the next. The story of Dr. Bruce Banner back to 1962 when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby published the first comic about the nuclear physicist mutated by gamma rays.
As early as 1966 the first television series ran in which the Hulk played an important role as a cartoon in the United States. Together with Captain America, Thor and Iran, he fought 39 episodes for evil in "Marvel's Super Heroes". The figure ultimately made the big breakthrough with the TV series "The Incredible Hulk", in which Bill Bixby the human and Lou Ferrigno - now we say - played green version. Before 1978 to 1982, a total of 82 episodes of the real series were created in five seasons, which were broadcast on CBS and in Germany on RTL Plus.
Appropriately, four television films appeared between 1977 and 1990, "the incredible Hulk"," The return of the eerie Hulk"," The eerie Hulk in court "and" the death of the eerie Hulk", who look a bit trashy after today's standards, but have made the green colossus known worldwide. In the sitcom" King of Queens ", in which Lou Ferrigno played itself, his age-GE and popularity was repeatedly Referred to.
In 2003 "Brokeback Mountain" director Ang Lee dared a remake with Eric Bana as Dr. Bruce Banner and for the first time in the history of the Green Giant, rely on computer -generation instead of practical effects. At the same time, height and proportions were changed compared to the TV series. Although his version was not continued with sequels, the new edition paved the way for further projects and showed the direction in which future superhero films would go. In 2008 with Edward Norton, another film was published in the leading role under the name "The Incredible Hulk", which was staged by the director of the transporter films. Once again, the dimensions of the green hero adapt and also changed the contours of his face.
Although the strips from 2003 and 2008 officially belong to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the title role was handed over to another actor in the following films. In the meantime, we cannot imagine any other than the Mark RuffaloHulk, who has embodied Bruce Benner since "Marvel’s The Avengers". So far we saw him in "Iron Man 3", "Avengers: Age of Ultron", "Thor: Day of Decision", "Avengers: Infinity War", "Captain Marvel" and "Avengers: Endgame" and both critics and spectators are extremely satisfied with his performance.

Did you know that the Hulk was still gray in the very first comic? However, because this led to problems with pressure, their color was changed from the second edition to today's green. And something was different at the beginning: In the first two booklets, Bruce Banner didn't have to get angry to turn into the colossus. The metamorphosis always happened at night. In order to give the stories more depth, the trigger was changed, which made him a monster and put the figure with new problems.
A role model for the Hulk-Figure was The Thing, who comes from the Fantastic Four. Both combine a great physical strength and a massive stature. In addition, Quasimodo from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were an inspiration for Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. In the meantime, the green giant is better known than The Thing and Quasimodo and in Japan there is an adaptation of him as a Godzilla even within the so-called "manga verses"Hulk.
With numerous computer games, attractions in themed parks, pinball machines and much more, hardly a superhero is more present. His word battles with Thor are legendary and give the Avengers film the necessary portion of humor. His fellow campaignersHulk, Wolverine, Sentry, Warbound or Rick Jones are just as an integral part of the superhero franchise, such as his iconic enemies abomination, leader or evil futureHulk Maestro.
