Incredible Hulk #245

[iamrman]

The Hulk discovers that the puny humans at Gamma Base are holding his late love Jarella's body for experimentation. You can probably figure out what happens next.

Mandroids -- when you just can't afford any actually effective powered armor.

[scorntx]

Mandroids -- When Tony Stark's feeling really lazy.

[dcbanacek]

Mandroids -- When all the good names are already taken.

"But... but I'm the SUPER-Mandroid!"

:gets crushed into a ball:

"Glrgl..."

[iamrman]

Well, the Hulk would have snapped Talbot in half if Captain Marvel hadn't interrupted.

Mandroids... not the one from Transformers: Earthspark.

Mandroids -- "Can we stop for Iron Man armors?" "We have Iron Man armor at home."

I generally love the art, but Hulk's right arm looks horribly broken in the first scan.

But I really do miss artists who were as dynamic and clear as this. It's wonderfully crisp and leaps off the page at you.

I feel like in the Marvel Universe, there's an entire line item in the Pentagon budget for "dumb things we did to anger the Hulk."

[iamrman]

If I remember correctly, Gamma Base was shut down precisely because it was a waste of taxpayer's money.

The US Military clearly hadn't learned from their mistakes because the Hulkbusters sucked at their jobs too.

[scorntx]

Given the original (non-super) mandroids were a government plan to kill the Avengers, they probably also fall under having to use old equipment because it's not broken, among other things.

"Gravity nets".

I cannot help but feel that we, in the real world, are somewhat behind on net-based technology.

[super_fly]

Don't all nets operate under the principles of gravity?

[scorntx]

But they don't increase the pull of gravity in proportion to the resistance of whatever's underneath them.

"Gentlemen, we're dealing with a creature who can regularly leap for several miles in a single bound. I need ideas to trap him. Yes, Smith?"
"I've got it, sir! Gravity! Gravity will stop him!"
"... Smith, you're fired."
