the Hulk is one of the most easily
recognizable characters in the Marvel
Universe but did you know he wasn’t
always green what if you were sipping
margaritas on a sun-drenched Beach
turning brown instead of green welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
Hulk facts don’t it mister for this list
we’re putting the focus on more
real-world facts as opposed to looking
at specific plot points that occurred in
the films or comics dr. banner the
countdown has begun
linking with her fist the son of a
scientific Igor we continue this
discussion later number 10
many aliases you know dr. Clement Lee
you and I have never had the chance to
get to know each other properly well
it’s because I don’t want to get to know
you properly or improperly most people
are familiar with a classic version of
the Hulk who typically only says Hulk
smash before destroying anything and
everything in his immediate vicinity
to keep the character fresh however
marble has created a few different
aliases for the Hulk including the
popular Joe fix it fix it was a gray
version of the character who retained
the smarts of banner and even worked as
a mob enforcer in Las Vegas the Hulk
would also at one point become the third
incarnation of war one of the Four
Horsemen of Apocalypse I’ll read all
about it
uh-huh or you’ll be suiting up for the
rest of us number nine lots of powers
everyone knows that the Hulk is
exceptionally strong but he does have a
range of powers that you may be
unfamiliar with for instance he can leap
extremely large distances and once
jumped into orbit he can also breathe
underwater thanks to a special gland one
of his strangest powers however has been
his ability to see ghosts because comic
books are weird
I assume the whole place is surrounded
just you and me he can also heal himself
quicker than any other character in the
marvel universe including Wolverine
which is why as exciting as their fights
always are Ori never really stands a
chance number eight jaws nearly played
him on television
before CGI took over the film industry
Studios relied a lot more heavily on
makeup prosthetics and practical effects
several actors were considered to play
the role of the Hulk in the live-action
television series including Arnold
Schwarzenegger although he was deemed
too short for the role
the studio ended up choosing Richard
Kiel best known as jaws from the James
Bond films keel was eventually let go
however because he wasn’t bulky enough
for the role and Lou Ferrigno was cast
instead
number seven he left the Avengers for 50
years guys is this a code GREEN
although the avengers originally
assembled to stop the Hulk who was being
manipulated by Loki the Hulk was a
founding member of the team he wouldn’t
last long however the team consisting of
Iron Man wasp Ant Man and Thor were
fearful of the Hulk’s destructive
tendencies and uncontrollable power and
as such distanced themselves from him
feeling unwanted the Hulk would leave
the team at the end of the second issue
and wouldn’t rejoin until half a century
later
number six Bruce Banner was renamed
David Banner dummies favorite to see
David would you tell him I met over
there oh thanks
while the live-action television series
made several changes from the source
material perhaps the most obvious one
was banners name change
and I was starting to affect your work
but although he was known as Bruce
Banner in the comics his name was
changed to David Banner on the show
allegedly because viewers don’t like
alliterative names David how do you feel
now
um normal according to Stan Lee however
the name was changed because the show’s
executives considered the name Bruce to
be too gay a fact that was confirmed by
the show star Lou Ferrigno
number five originally transformed by
the sunset almost everyone knows the
drill
Bruce Banner gets angry and transforms
into the Hulk typically going on a
destructive rampage is that where you go
this wasn’t the case in the original
story however as Bruce would transform
into the Hulk at sunset before changing
back to human form at dawn regardless of
whether or not he was angry you’re an
alien what I’m out of space an alien
no well then son you’ve got a condition
this is likely because Lee drew
inspiration from The Strange Case of dr.
Jekyll and mr. Hyde where Jekyll
transforms into the brutish Hyde at
night number four Marvel versus Ed
Norton
shut that off
out of all the marble heroes to receive
their own standalone film in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe phase 1 the Hulk was
the only one who didn’t get a sequel at
least not yet
in fact the role was recast for 2012’s
The Avengers with Mark Ruffalo taking
over for Ed Norton what if I said no
I’ll persuade you Marvel and Norton had
come to blows over the film largely
because the studio had cut out a suicide
driven subplot that Norden himself had
written into the screenplay
I got lung I didn’t see and so I put a
bullet in my mouth and the other guys
spit it out frustrated over his lack of
creative control something which Marvel
had allegedly promised him Norton
refused to promote the film and was
eventually let go by the studio number
three the Red Hulk never send the green
hunk to do a red hulks work I always say
jerk one of the most popular recent
storylines in the comics has revolved
around the strange Red Hulk a much more
violent and sadistic version of the Hulk
the Red Hulk killed abomination one of
the Hulk’s greatest enemies real harm
the Red Hulk was also capable of
reverting the normal Hulk back to Bruce
Banner by absorbing his gamma radiation
oh yeah are you doing Hurley after
months of speculation the red hulks
identity was eventually revealed to be
general Ross that’s right the man who
had been attempting to destroy the Hulk
for years eventually came to be one
finally I decided to fight fire with
fire
and Hulka ties myself now I keep an eye
on Hulk
number two originally gray not green
the original version of the Hulk was far
from the version we know and love today
as previously stated banner only changed
into the Hulk at night but that wasn’t
the only major difference the Hulk was
originally gray not green looks like
wild boyd agrees with you Dan Lee
eventually changed the color however not
for plot reasons but because the
printers could not maintain a consistent
shade of gray we’re not kidding
he chose green because that was a much
easier color to print and that’s how the
Hulk’s iconic color was created before
we unveil our number one pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one lou ferrigno has been in
every live adaptation man god bless you
brother arguably Ferrigno’s most famous
role the buff bodybuilder played the
hulk in the live-action television
series from 1978 to 1982 that’s easy
he has since appeared in every single
live adaptation of the character he had
a cameo in the 2003 film as a security
guard security ought to be beefed up a
lot and provided the voice of the Hulk
for the 2008 film he also appears
briefly in the Avengers that’s right
it’s Ferrigno who utters the classic
line puny god after throwing Loki around
