Y'know, something I've noticed about these "Children of Tomorrow"...
They're all meant to be genetically engineered wunderkind, better than any other human...
And they're all white.

What the hell, Reed?!

Apparently congressmen aren't genetically engineered then. Well, one them isn't.

Esad Ribic's rider list for every job appears to be that he gets to draw plenty of people bug-eyed. Sometimes necessitating partial or even total lack of eyebrows.

How many nukes?
ALL THE NUKES.

Not a legal scholar, but I don't think the President can suspend Posse Comitatus. What he could do is invoke the Insurrection Act, which, as an Act of Congress, allows him to bypass Posse Comitatus under certain scenarios.

Given how this is the same American government that declared being a Mutant flat-out illegal, it wouldn't be a surprise if there were a few choice differences in there.

Like Amendment X: "The government shall build giant killbots to murder a large proportion of people for no good reason whenever they damn well feel like it."

Ribic's work is just spectacular. That panel of Reed and the Hulk facing off? Wow.

[reveen]

Does this mean to suggest that Hulk speak and by extension Hulk's personality is just a front by Banner who's fully aware of what he's doing but trying to play it off.

That's actually kind of a clever twist. Also frightening, because with the shit Hulk pulled in the Ultimates books that makes Banner himself a fucking monster.

I think it's more that Hickman has, bizarrely, integrated Lindelof's "Ultimate Wolverine v Hulk" into the main continuity and it's only since those events (where Banner found a measure of inner peace by hanging with some Buddhist monks in Tibet, drinking cocoa and shagging the hell out of their local women) that he's been an intelligent being who puts up a front.

[balbanes]

Seems more like he gets dumber when he gets angrier. A trade off to getting stronger.

[bruinsfan]

It occurs to me that Evil Reed Richards is a Hulk foe that guarantees maximum frustration. He's a smarter scientist than Banner, and blunt physical force is almost entirely ineffective against him.

[karthak]

So they steamroll all of Asgard, and one Hulk is enough to make them brown their pants? Did the Ultimate Aesir all have asthma, or something?
