Don't you just love a fair trial.

Frankly, it's amazing they even bothered holding this thing in a courtroom at all, not, I dunno, a children's playground or something.
Not like it would've made things any different.

How on Earth can the judge not recognize Reed? He’s one of the most famous people on the planet.

And this is not even close to a fair trial. And that’s without getting into whether or not it’s fair to execute Bruce for the “crimes” of the Hulk. To say nothing of the fact that most of the time, the Hulk was just defending himself after giving clear warning to leave him alone.

Left off is Matt talking to reporters on how "this whole thing is the biggest farce in the history of the legal system and at the risk of being in contempt, you can quote me."

Followed by Hulk supporters vowing to bring the courthouse down if he's found guilty and Matt trying to talk them down.

So because I first started reading comics when he was the Professor, and most of my exposure to "classic Hulk" was through TV shows, I was under the impression that he would immediately revert to Banner after calming down, and it sort of astonished me that in books like this, and Defenders that he could be the Hulk indefinitely.
