What happens when you lose your script immunity?

Hulk 25 and 26.

Iron Man vs. the Red Hulk!

Flashback to the climactic end of Fall of the Hulks:

(Red Hulk was General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, for those who were living in a cave)

The end mirrors the end of World War Hulk, with Hulk and Steve Rogers coming to see Rulk in prison:

The prison was designed by Bruce Banner. Rulk is left in a zero-gravity chamber for three days, screaming and yelling that he knows he's too powerful to be left to rot.

Steve demands Rulk power down to human form. Then he hits him with a hypo.

Bruce says that he already beat Rulk at his full power. He doesn't need an edge against Ross. They glare at each other.

Bruce explains that the Intelligencia activated a program called "Scorched Earth". Doomsday weapons to destroy the world if they couldn't rule it. Steve says that he doesn't trust Rulk and that he'll be partnering up til Ross earns his trust again.

Since the first mission is some sort of make-people-robot-monsters (much like Omac) virus in Silicon Valley, Rulk will be working with Iron Man. Rulk arrives first.

SMACK PAGE!

Smack, smack.

Tony then gets smacked by the computer virus possessed people.

Hulk 26. Half page scan.

Rulk manages to convince Tony that he was, indeed, sent by Steve Rogers.

For the record, except for a few intensely stupid issues, I actually enjoyed Fall of the Hulks.

	Funny thing how Ross was always after Hulk, and now almost everyone dislikes Red Hulk even more. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 12 comments) (Show 12 comments)

The Hulk was always clearly angry..or stupid. And he had a history of avoiding killing, despite all the damage he caused. He also saved people many times.

Red Hulk murdered a SHIELD agent and (most believe) murdered General Ross too. He humiliated beloved heroes. He was working for murderous supervillains. He went on national television and declared he was taking over the country. He did all this knowingly, willingly, and in full possession of his senses.

If Rulk revealed his true identity now? Despite his honorable career, he WOULD be hung for treason.

	Hung for treason? Shit, he'll suffer worst. He'll go down in history as the giant hypocrit that he is as well as one of America's greatest enemies. He'll be a huge disgrace the likes of which would have people vandalizing his grave and villainizing him in biopics. Alos, let's not forget Betty.

	'Sfunny how hard Marvel has worked on quasi-rehabbing Norman Osborn into 616's version of Lex Luthor or somethin'... while they decided Thunderbolt Ross was just a huge, angry douchebag. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Right now, Jeff Parker and Greg Pak have the unpleasant job of cleaning up after Jeph Loeb. They're doing a lot better than you'd think. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	People tend to develop poor hearing when it comes to beating the hell out of Rulk. I have to hand it to Marvel, they made Rulkie so wonderfully hateable that I can't help but love these comics where he's getting his ass kicked every issue.

	Contextually, it's not that Tony deliberately dropped the call. It's that he's closing in on an area that's putting off heavy electromagnetic interference and it meant Steve's call didn't quite get through. He didn't actually hang up on Steve. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Well, I seem to notice in other things that Tony and Steve haven't exactly been getting along, even now. (for good reason, however. Tony did some awful things, even if he can't remember them now) (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I STILL WANNA KNOW what happens to Ross' mustache when he turns into the Red Hulk. Really. Does it just POOF away? Or is he wearing a snap on mustache? That's the real mystery. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 26 comments) (Show 26 comments)

	Eh, in my rpg setting, I made General Ryker the Red Hulk (Makes more sense to me), and Ross is not a Hulk at all (If I do make him a Hulk, I'd make hm the version from that What if). (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	Wait...we have a big blue Abomination who never seems to get anything done despite his young, hip attitude and general stance of goodness...and a big red virile Hulk who brags about being the best at everything and hates everyone and is a bitter old man inside... Do I smell a complicated political metaphor? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Rick is in his own back-up story in Parker's Hulk book these days, fighting giant monsters and saving Florida while having fun. He does a lot. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I do not follow this book, but I have to say: I very much enjoyed what I saw here. And especially Tony doing what he does. And after all, it's a grand Marvel tradition: heroes misunderstand each other, start fighting. Oh, and Loeb: bite me. Bite us all. The writer whose job it is to ruin things needlessly.

	So are Bruce and Hulk still disparate personalities? Because it looks like they're pretty interchangeable at this point. Is Bruce able to switch back and fork from human to Hulk-form without any personality dissonance? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)
