Banner trolling his new staff is either awesome or the most annoying character trait it would be possible to imagine Banner having when working as a team.

Good thing none of them had heart conditions or anything. Killing his employees via practical joke probably wouldn't look that good in SHIELD's eyes.

My guess is, they screened for the obvious when they interviewed.

So... I'm thinking the voice on the other end of that phone call is almost certainly Matt Murdock. Any other candidates?

[coldfury]

Amadeus Cho? Betty?

...since he seems to be an Avenger also, maybe one of the core team?

[chieflewal]

Nick Fury? The REAL one?

[jlbarnett]

it's the same thing he did in the Avengers movie.

All that's missing is a "I'm sorry, that was mean." :D

[q99]

I assume it's just the one time. Unless they laugh :)

[jlbarnett]

why exactly do his psychologists not have his history and personality profile?

[glprime]

Yes, please god, start letting the super-scientists actually make things.

'Cuz I'm tired of Reed Richards Is Useless.

Team!
He's getting a team!
Please don't kill off the team!

I laughed at how Patricia Wolman's little info bubble says "Climatologist AND Astrophysicist". Like the word "and" just had to be in capital letters for added emphasis.

For that matter, is there a lot of overlap between climatology and astrophysics? It seems like this team was written with the intent to break up the cliche of "all scientists know all fields of science" by having each one be experts in a more narrowly defined discipline. Except for her for some reason

[donnblake]

We covered both in the same eighth grade Earth Science class, :p

But I think there might be more overlap in the MU. Maybe she wrote her thesis on the weather patterns in the Blue Area of the moon?

[atom_punk]

Do the Inhumans have such good relations with Earth that they would allow a scientist to get close enough to study the Blue Area?

...wait...sorry I'm drifting into a weird tangent here XD

[donnblake]

I'm not sure, but I think the Inhuman occupation of the Blue Area is a relatively recent development. Before they moved in, I think you could more or less wander about it freely as long as you didn't stumble into the Watcher's dome.

Oh, those are test dummies in the second panel! OK, now I get it.

I feel like a dork pointing this out, but (in the real world) the Nobel Committee doesn't really hold to that "breakthrough in the last year" rule. So maybe Dr Banner just hasn't won yet.

Maybe it's different in a world with Reed Richards and Tony Stark.
