General Thaddeus "Stormbringer" Ross appeared in the Hulk comics at the same time as the Hulk himself, in 1962. During this time, he managed to be an enemy of Bruce Banner and the Hulk, and even try on the guise of a gamma monster known as the Red Hulk. His daughter, Betty Ross, long former lover of Bruce Banner, also did not stand aside and became the Red She-Hulk.

Ross is a hereditary military man who devoted his life to military affairs. Banner hated Ross immediately - the general was outraged by the fact that in the development of the gamma bomb, Banner, a civilian, occupied a position higher than a military general. In addition, Ross despised Banner himself - an intellectual who rummaged through paperwork instead of body development, and even dared to trick Betty, Ross's only daughter, whom the general wanted to pass off as a "normal" officer, Glenn Talbot.

When the Hulk showed up, Ross began hunting him without initially linking the Hulk to Banner. He only redoubled his efforts when he learned that Banner and the Hulk are, to some extent, the same person. Almost. Ross's motivation was clear - the Hulk posed a threat to everyone around him. However, Ross also had less altruistic motives - he was simply tired of sitting at the table and shifting papers, and the hunt for the Hulk meant a return to hostilities.

Over time, even such a stubborn blockhead as Ross began to respect Banner, and even allowed Banner to marry Betty when he (as it turned out, temporarily) learned to control the Hulk. But the supervillain Leader returned the Hulk to an uncontrollable state, and Ross continued to hunt. He was made the head of the Hulkbusters base, a military base specially designed to counter the Hulk. However, he was dismissed when Ross, unable to contain his own anger, hit the annoying reporter.

Ross was so focused on destroying the Hulk that for this he went to extreme measures - betraying his native country. He teamed up with Modoc and freed the Abomination. (Abomination) ... But both Modoc and the Abomination were defeated, Ross's betrayal surfaced, and he was driven out of the army. The roof of the former general then packed up his bags and was about to leave. Desiring to become superhumanly strong, he was endowed with the powers of Zzzaks. (Zzzax) , creation from living electricity. And he died, sacrificing himself in the battle with a nameless evil mutant. Ross was proud that he was not dying as a crazy nutcase, but as a hero.

And he returned. Ross was revived. Not without the help of the Leader. When the Hulk returned from space exile and started, he had a new enemy - the Red Hulk. Like Hulk, only red or Rulk (Red Hulk\u003e Rulk). It turned out to be Ross - he was so focused on destroying the Hulk that he agreed to become the Hulk himself. The Red Hulk is not as hardy as the Green, but no less strong, and it can also emit gamma radiation - when it emits especially powerful waves, it can give the impression that it is on fire. It can absorb radiation too. After becoming Ralk, Ross quickly got involved. He killed the Abomination, defeated Thor, and with the Hulk himself he managed to be brushed off more than once.

The Red Hulk took part in the Contest of Champions, organized by the Grandmaster (space lover of gladiatorial combat) between the Defenders (Hulk, Namor, Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer) and the Strikers (Rulk, Tiger Shark, Baron Mordo, Terrax). Ralk killed everyone and was about to fight Galactus, taking the Surfer's board and powers, but Galactus took Ralk's powers. Ralk then killed the Grandmaster, but he resurrected the Defenders before his death. Feeling almost unpunished, the Red Hulk became completely insolent - in order to kill Domino, the mercenary who witnessed his transformation, he assembled a Team Code Red, consisting of the Punisher, Deadpool, Electra, Tundra and Crimson Dynamo.

After going through numerous difficulties, once again fighting the Hulk and finally going crazy, Ross was defeated, and slowly came to his senses. I mean, his roof is back. Steve Rogers invited the Red Hulk to join the Avengers, and he did not refuse. He himself had a chance to become heroic, and go through a kind of Planet Hulk - an adventure much like what the green Hulk went through when he was expelled from Earth.

In one of the comics, the Red Hulk, already quite strong, is pumped even more. He was given the task of catching the fugitive Venom. Rulk, Venom, Ghost Rider and X-23 died at the hands of Blackheart's demons, went to hell, and Mephisto recruited them to fight Blackheart, promising to revive them. The Spirit of Vengeance and the Venom symbiote attached themselves to the Red Hulk, thus making him Ralk, Ghost Rider and Venom at the same time. After defeating Blackheart, Venom and the Spirit of Vengeance left Ralka, leaving only his gamma power. In the most recent comics, Ross managed to lose her - the Hulk, taking the nickname "Doc Green", invented a cure for gamma mutation and deprived almost all gamma mutants (Rick Jones, Skaar, Betty Ross and Ralka).

In movies and animated series, Ross appears quite often - in fact, where the Hulk is, there is Ross, starting with the 1966 Marvel Super Heroes. In the form of the Red Hulk, he appears in the animated series Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H, where the Red Hulk is one of the main characters. In the MCU, Ross is portrayed by William Hurt.

After this, the Woman-Hulk decided to take revenge on the Hulk and gathered a small detachment consisting of Tundra, Valkyrie and herself. After a short battle, the Invisible Lady, Tiger, Black Widow, Storm, Red Lynx and Spider-Woman came to the aid of the girls. The Hulk soon lost and passed out. The Hulk managed to escape and kidnap Tundra in order to offer her an unknown deal.

After a while, Domino accidentally discovered the secret of the Red Hulk's identity. The Hulk began to chase her, but Domino was able to escape. But Dr. Samson and General Ross ordered him to find and kill Domino. And that for this he will need help, the Hulk assembled a squad consisting of Tundra, Electra, Deadpool, Red Dynamo and the Punisher. Domino, in turn, gathered the X-Force. During the fight with Wolverine, the Hulk went blind. In the midst of the battle, Red She-Hulk appears and convinces the Hulk to go with her. A few minutes later, the sight returned to the Hulk and he realized that it was all a trap set up by Doctor Samson, who bought his team. The Hulk miraculously manages to escape with the help of Tundra. The Hulk soon found Domino and Wolverine at the Silver Sable's house. She told him that Samson had arranged all this and that he was connected with Ts.I.I. (Center for Interesting Ideas), and hence with Modoc.

It was revealed that Modoc and the Leader had assembled a team of Red Ghost, Wizard, and Mad Thinker, along with General Ross, Samson, the Terrible Four, and Red She-Hulk. The Red Hulk realized that he himself could not cope and decided to form an alliance with Bruce Baner. Soon, General Ross made an attempt to kill the Red Hulk, but was killed, after which it was revealed that Betty Ross and Glen Talbot were alive (previously believed to be dead).

The first mission of the Red Hulk and the A-Bomb was to destroy the Space Hulk, which was based at Modoc. But that was the plan of Leader and Modoc - with the help of the Red Hulk's power to activate the Space Hulk. A-Bomb managed to retrieve the information disc. It turned out that the Space Hulk was created by the Mad Thinker using Galactus' technology, making his powers comparable to those of the Silver Surfer. The second mission was to save Mister Fantastic from the Wizard and his Terrible Four, but he failed.

General Ross

General Ross worked in the US Air Force, where he was in charge of Project Gamma Bomb, led by Bruce Banner. Ross's daughter, Betty, fell in love with Banner, but her father was interested in her marrying a military man. From the moment Dr. Banner transformed into the Hulk, Ross began to hunt him. He even had to collaborate with the Hulk's enemies: Leader, M.O.D.O.K. and Abomination.

Origin

General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross, the man who would become the most frequent threat to the superhuman monster known as the Incredible Hulk, was born into a military family. Ross's grandfather served heroically under General Sherman in the Union Army during the Civil War; Ross's father became a general during the Battle of the Argons in World War I. At a young age, Ross immersed himself in the study of military history. He later learned the basics of flying by observing kites at country fairs. Soon Ross finished his school at West Point. He married Karen Lee, daughter of the captain who was his commanding officer at the time. Ross grew rapidly in rank and was a captain when he went to battle in the Pacific during World War II. It was during the war that Ross made himself a reputation as a leader in battle. His soldiers gave him the nickname "Thunderbolt" because, according to them, "he struck like lightning" when he led them during the fighting. Ross also served briefly in Europe and was present at the release of prisoners from the infamous Auschwitz camp. By the end of World War II, Ross had become a major. Between World War II and the Korean War, Ross was stationed at a nuclear research facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico. It was here that he met nuclear physicist Brian Banner, Bruce Banner's father, with whom Ross would work for years later. Ross rose to the rank of colonel when he was sent to fight in Korea. It was in Korea that Ross became a Brigadier General of the United States Air Force. "Thunderer" Ross enjoyed the military action, as he was unhappy with being assigned to do paperwork before and after the Korean War. He eventually received the rank of lieutenant general. Ross's wife, Karen, bore him only one child, a daughter, Elizabeth "Betty" Ross. Karen Ross died when Betty was in her early teens. General Ross was at the time in command of the Desert Base in New Mexico, a complex that includes a missile base and a nuclear research facility. He believed that this place was not suitable for raising a little girl, and sent her to a boarding school. After graduation, Betty, loyal to her only parent, returned to the Desert Base to live next to her father.

Meeting with the Hulk

Sometime later, Bruce Banner, a genius in the field of nuclear physics, was sent by the US government to the Desert Base to oversee the construction and testing of his invention, the Gamma-Bomb, a nuclear weapon that emitted large amounts of gamma radiation. General Ross resented the fact that Banner, a civilian, was directing the project. In addition, the general felt contempt for the unsportsmanlike, intellectual Banner for failing to live up to Ross' hopes of showing true courage. Even worse for Ross was the growing attraction between Banner and Betty, whom he wanted to marry off to an officer. During the first test of the Gamma Bomb, Banner was exposed to intense gamma radiation, which, for some unknown genetic reason, did not kill him, but gave him the opportunity to accidentally transform into a superhumanly powerful monster known as the Hulk. Initially, the Hulk possessed a small fraction of Banner's memories and intellect and was easily enraged. Consequently, the Hulk was considered a threat, and Ross began his long hunt for the Gray and then the Green Giant. At first, Banner managed to hide the fact that he and the Hulk are one person; the only one who knew the truth was Rick Jones, his young friend. Indeed, since the Hulk was radically different from Banner, no one had any reason to believe that Banner could physically transform into the Hulk. However, Banner's mysterious disappearances due to his constant transformations led to the fact that Ross began to suspect Banner of treacherous activities and a possible alliance with the intelligence of the Warsaw Pact countries. To confirm his suspicions about Banner, Ross accepted Major Glenn Talbot into Desert Base as the new chief of security. Talbot soon began to harbor the same intense dislike for Banner as the general. He was also carried away by Betty, and the general hoped that this would help her choose an officer as her husband, not Banner. Soon, the Pentagon appointed Ross to head Operation Hulk, a project to find, destroy or capture such a powerful threat.

Ultimately, mistakenly convinced of the Hulk's death, Rick Jones told Talbot and Betty that Banner and the Hulk were the same person. Not long after, Betty and Talbot witnessed Banner's transformation, and Ross and the base staff learned of his second identity.

Hulk hunting

Ross, however, continued to chase the Hulk, and Banner became a fugitive. Ross argued that he could not be completely sure whether Banner was controlling the Hulk's actions or not; hence, this fact turned him into a potential national security threat (in fact, Banner had little or no control over his transformations or Hulk-like actions).

Ross also joined the hunt, as it reminded him of the fighting in Korea when he tried to avoid the paperwork he was assigned to. During these years, Ross managed to capture both the Hulk and Banner, but more often the Hulk thwarted the general's attempts to capture or kill him, and even the Hulk captured by Ross soon managed to escape. Embittered by these setbacks, Ross became even more determined to remove the threat from the Hulk. The general's aspiration soon became a fanatical obsession.

In addition, over the years, Ross has found himself in conflict with two other superhuman enemies, most notably the Leader and Abomination. Invariably Banner defeated them, both in his human form and in the form of the Hulk. Although Ross continued to view the Hulk as a threat, he unwittingly showed respect for Banner.

At some point, Banner learned to transform into the Hulk without losing his intelligence and control over his actions. Since he was no longer considered a threat, Banner managed to get the general's consent to marry his daughter, Betty.

However, the wedding ceremony held in the house where Betty was born was disrupted by the Leader and his ally, the Rhino. Before Bruce and Betty could be called husband and wife, Leader used his technology to transform Banner into the former, the Wild Hulk.

Subsequently, the US government built a special site for operations to capture or destroy the Hulk - "Hulkbuster Base" (Hulkbuster Base), located in the New Mexico desert. As the most accomplished man in hunting the Hulk, General Ross took command of the base and the US Air Force Anti-Hulk Mobile Forces, known to all as the Hulkbusters. The general military operation to capture the Hulk was now known as Operation: Greenskin, after the Hulk's body color. Neither Ross nor the US government now wanted to kill the Hulk unless the need arose; Operation: Greenskin involved capturing the subject and treating him to restore Banner to his normal human form. Ross argued that by catching the Hulk, scientists would be able to better study the effects of radiation on humans, leading to major breakthroughs in the field of normal human existence.

Although Ross stated that he only wanted to cure Banner as his son-in-law, he was overjoyed when Betty married Glenn Talbot, as she thought she could never marry Banner.

Around this time, General Ross made an illegal deal with the Abomination, who was supposed to capture the Hulk in exchange for treatment. The Abomination failed the mission, but Ross returned to this scheme two more times in the future.

With the permission of the Canadian government, the Ross and Hulkbusters pursued the Hulk in this country as well. In the Arctic Circle, Ross was captured by Gremlin, a Soviet agent who was in charge of a secret base on Canadian soil. Major Talbot and Vietnam War veteran US Air Force Colonel Jack D. Ambruster led the Air Force to rescue the general from prison. However, the major was captured by Soviet soldiers and everyone thought he was dead.

Shocked by her husband's death, Betty blamed her father for everything. In addition, partly because of his capture by Soviet forces and partly because he hit a journalist, Ross was relieved of his post as commander of Operation: Greenskin. Colonel Ambruster successfully replaced Ross as the commander of Hulkbuster Base. Ross was now officially retired, but often accompanied Ambruster on Hulkbuster missions. Ambruster was eventually killed while rescuing Ross and Buchou from an assassination attempt. The Hulkbusters' base was destroyed by the so-called Devastator, and General Ross and the SHIELD agent. (S.H.I.E.L.D.) Clay Quatermain led the team that freed Talbot from Soviet captivity.

Together, Ross, Quartermain, and Dr. Samson (Doc Samson) sent the Abomination to defeat the Hulk, but he again failed his mission.

The Hulkbusters' base was reconstructed, and Ross was again assigned command of the base. The Gamma Base was more intended to study the effects of gamma radiation and to heal the superhuman beings that radiation created; the capture of the Hulk was now a secondary goal. However, Ross was still obsessed with capturing the Hulk. This obsession and Ross's ongoing setbacks drove him to a nervous breakdown. He was admitted to the hospital and placed in the care of Samson; Meanwhile, Betty Ross and Glenn Talbot divorced as Betty realized she was still in love with Bruce Banner.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff Cabinet conferred the rank of colonel on Talbot and made him the new commander of Gamma Base. Talbot was determined to kill the Hulk, in part due to Banner's divorce from Betty; but soon, due to numerous failures in this area, the US Congress closed all operations conducted by Gamma Baza. Refusing to end his hunt for the Hulk, Talbot disobeyed the order and, moreover, stole the War Wagon, a heavily armed aircraft, and then used it to track the Hulk personally. Talbot was killed shortly thereafter during a fight with the Hulk.

Apparently fully recovered, General Ross returned to active service, seeking revenge on the Hulk for the death of his protégé Talbot, as well as for a nervous breakdown. The President of the United States could not persuade Congress to provide Ross with the human resources and the means to capture the Hulk, but made him an adviser to the Pentagon on issues related to the Hulk threat.

Banner was able to once again gain control of his actions as the Hulk. As a result, the President forgave the Hulk for all his previous crimes.

General Ross was now in command of the military project Earthfall, a research operation involving cryogenic facilities, one of which contained the Abomination in suspended animation. Realizing that Betty was still in love with Banner and refusing to accept that the Hulk was no longer a threat, Ross planned to commit treason by freeing the Abomination and sending him back to kill the Hulk. Before Ross could do so, the project was taken over by the MODOK / Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing, the former head of the terrorist organization CII / Interesting Ideas Center ( AIM / Advanced Idea Mechanics), who wanted to free the Abomination for use as an ally. Ross and M.O.D.O.K. came to an agreement and freed the Abomination. The Abomination subsequently attacked the Hulk, but did not defeat him. The Hulk realized that Ross had allowed M.O.D.O.K. to free the Abomination. Hearing her father's confession, Betty was shocked. She reaffirmed her love for Banner and accused her father of treason. Stunned, Ross nearly committed suicide in his office at the Pentagon. But he chose not to kill himself, but instead disappear from sight. In his absence, he was dismissed from the military in disgrace. Ross became a tramp, sinking deeper and deeper into madness.

Zzzax

Bruce Banner, who believed that he was cured of the Hulk, proposed to Betty, and she agreed. But in the midst of their wedding ceremony, former General Ross appeared with a pistol and demanded that the ceremony be canceled. When Banner's best friend, Rick Jones, tried to talk to Ross, he shot him. Full of courage, Betty stood in front of her father and convinced him not to interfere with the wedding ceremony. Bruce Banner and Betty Ross are finally married; Jones soon recovered from a gunshot wound, and Thadeus Ross was hospitalized and sent to a mental institution.

Ross's old ally, Clay Quartermain, allowed Ross to take part in the SHIELD experiment to transform the former general into a superhuman being by injecting some of the "living" electricity into him, which consisted of a creature named Zzzax. But the experiment went awry, and Ross's mind was consumed by Zzzax, who then broke free. Ironically, it may have been due to Ross' hatred of the Hulk that he was able to take control of Zzzax, immersing his own personality in Zzax's mind. Meanwhile, Ross's body did not die, but all conscious processes stopped, only those that did not depend on consciousness remained the same - for example, the heartbeat. Controlled by Ross's mind, Zzzax tried unsuccessfully to kill both Bruce Banner and Rick Jones, who had recently become a Hulk-like monster himself. Ross's personality apparently became unbalanced again due to being absorbed by Zzzax, and when Banner forced Ross to admit that his mind was in the body of a monster, he was horrified. Still controlled by Ross, Zzzax fled.

Ultimately, Ross's mind returned to its original body, causing most of Zzzax's energy to be transferred into his body. But now a new threat was looming on Gamma Baza: a monster, an unknown mutant who grabbed at people and sucked their life energy, killing them. Ross saw Rick Jones, in his Hulk-like form, try to stop the mutant who was threatening Betty. Then, saving Betty, Bruce Banner rushed at the mutant, and also became his victim. Seeing the Hulk's bravery and Bruce Banner's self-sacrifice, Ross realized how badly he was wrong about them. The mutant did not siphon energy out of Banner's unconscious body, but went to Betty. Ross blocked the path of the mutant, and he began to drain energy from him, but since the energy from Zzzax remained in Ross's body, the mutant was destroyed by electricity. But the stress for Ross's body was enormous. After telling Betty that he was wrong about Bruce and that he loved her, Thaddeus Ross died in the arms of his crying daughter.

Back to life

Ross's body was later stolen by the Leader, who used the powers of one of his followers to resurrect Ross, turning him into an unconscious replacement for his fallen soldier, the Redeemer. Ross was eventually revived and resurrected by Troyjans alien agents, and was even able to return to the Air Force.

He later discovered a more effective method of confronting the Hulk when he looked like an unreasonable child - active non-resistance. He and his men just didn't attack the Hulk or anger him. The Hulk, in confusion, did not destroy anything, but simply walked away. Moreover, Ross became friends with the human side of the Hulk after Bruce saved Betty from death. But everything changed the moment Betty died from gamma radiation, and Ross began hunting the Hulk again. After he learned that the Abomination was responsible for the death of his daughter, Ross let the Hulk escape.

World War Hulk

The general could not recover for a long time after the loss of his daughter. He was deeply depressed, and although he did not leave the service, Ross was rarely seen outside the Pentagon. This continued until the Civil War itself, after which almost the only superhero was killed, whom Thadeus himself considered an example to follow - Captain America. Now that he had not only the meaning of life, but also a moral landmark, Ross went to one of the Washington bars to get drunk. But unexpectedly, those whom he least expected to see appeared in the bar - the Leader and M.O.D.O.K .. The villains offered the general to cooperate. Of course, he immediately refused, but the Leader said that he could revive Betty. After much hesitation, Ross accepted the offer.

Shortly after this incident, the Hulk, who was expelled into space by the Illuminati before the Civil War, returned to Earth to take revenge on this organization, which, in his opinion, was responsible for the destruction of the planet Sakaar, where he found a home, peace and family. Ross personally entered the battle with the Green Giant, but neither his participation nor the most high-tech weapons helped, and the general's troops were defeated. After the Hulk's battle with the Sentry, Iron Man managed to attack the distraught Destroyer of Worlds from several satellites. However, the beam released was not attacking at all. Stark had no idea that M.O.D.O.K. and the Leader installed a cathexis ray on the satellites, which absorbed some of the Hulk's gamma radiation, and it transformed into Bruce Banner's form. General Ross placed him in custody at Gamma Base, which was in fact now under the control of the CII, with the androids filling the personnel role. There he was periodically immersed in a catatonic state to study his genes. These data, as well as the gamma radiation received by the satellites, were used to create the mysterious and unpredictable Red Hulk.

Red Hulk

General Ross was irradiated with a cathexis beam and transformed into a being comparable in strength to the Green Giant himself. Together with his army skills and amazing strategic thinking, this power, in his opinion, should have been enough to bring order to the country he loved so much. So while Ross began to act according to plans devised by Leader and M.O.D.O.K. (who were actually part of an organization called Intelligencia, along with several other mad geniuses), he pursued your goals. He had to cooperate with Doc Samson, who, because of the Intelligentsia, had a second, evil personality. Also, in order not to arouse suspicion due to the frequent absence of General Ross, an android was created that looked like its exact copy.

Ross often asked Leader when he would be allowed to see his daughter. The villain was playing for time, hiding that he had turned Betty into a Red She-Hulk.

Satellites have detected a large seismic activity in Canada; it was the Red Hulk. He made a stop on his way to the Abomination and was attacked by Wendigo. Ralk cut off the Wendigo's head as a warning to everyone else, before heading off to an unknown destination. This was the first time that another Hulk existed.

First Appearance: Red Hulk vs. SHIELD

SHIELD members Maria Hill and Iron Man, along with Ross (the aforementioned android), She-Hulk, and Leonard Samson, studied the Abomination's dead body while in Russia. Another fact that puzzled them: several huge bullets were put into the Abomination's body, which turned out to be fatal for him. Leonard began talking to the group about what had happened here using a battle site analysis. So, someone the size of the Hulk fought the Abomination. He also left footprints under which the sand turned into glass from excess energy. And then he ... shot the Abomination with a huge pistol recently stolen from SHIELD. After a brief skirmish with the Winter Guard (Russian superhero team), Ross discovered a small child witnessing the murder of the Abomination. He kept repeating one word in Russian: “Red”.

While Maria, Iron Man and She-Hulk were discussing what had happened aboard the Helicarrier, She-Hulk was captured by the Red Hulk. He told her that he was not Banner and that he could kill her at any moment. Believing that everyone was in danger, Iron Man ordered Samson and Ross to go to the fortified quarters aboard the Transporter, and he himself confronted the Hulk. The Red Hulk fought off the uni-beams that Iron Man shot at him, and in response hit the latter with a piece of a huge machine. He then destroyed the aircraft carrier's stabilizers. After that, the Red Hulk continued to hit Iron Man, this time using a plane from the landing pad. Iron Man's armor began to refuse, but then She-Hulk rushed to his aid, who told him that Red had infected the computers of the Transporter with some kind of virus that erased all SHIELD files about the Hulk, and also brought failure of all systems. Therefore, the ship fell like a stone down to New York. Iron Man and his autonomous armor were able to change the trajectory of the fall of the aircraft carrier; he fell in New Jersey.

There is only one of the strongest

The Red Hulk pursued Rick Jones to Gamma Base in Death Valley, Nevada. There he tried to kill him. But by hitting him, he only started the process of transforming Rick into A-Bomb (A-Bomb). They began to fight, destroying most of Gamma Base. The Red Hulk tried to kill A-Bomba, but realized that he could withstand much more than the old Abomination. He then struck Jones with a force that caused a 10-point earthquake, which opened the underground cell where Bruce Banner had been held since World War Hulk. Bruce began to transform into the Hulk when the defense system activated, turning on the sleep gas supply.

A-Bomba and Red Hulk continued to fight, and Gamma Baza released metal harpies with Betty Ross's face (they were once specially designed so that the Hulk would not dare to fight them). The gamma monsters quickly destroyed them, but when the Red Hulk prepared to fight Rick, he found the original Hulk (in Wild Incarnation) instead. At this point, the Watcher appeared, apparently to watch the battle between the two Hulks (and the Watchers are openly present only during events that change the course of history). The Red Giant quickly stabbed Uatu in the face; from the impact Uatu fell to Earth. But then the Hulk intervened, and a fight began between him and Red. When it seemed that Banner was starting to gain the upper hand, the Red Hulk in a series of quick movements found himself behind the Hulk and broke his arm. Meanwhile, the scuffle moved to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, where Rulk (as the SHIELD agents nicknamed him, shortening the nickname Red Hulk) tried to shoot Banner with the same pistol with which he killed the Abomination. ... The Hulk was able to bite off part of the pistol, and after that, the Red Hulk and Banner again grappled for a while, after which Banner fell from the bridge into the water.

Before the Red Hulk could go after the Banner, Thor appeared. The two began to fight, and soon the Red Hulk grabbed Thor's hammer (while Thor himself did not let go of the hammer) and went with him into space. While in Earth orbit, Ralk began to beat Thor with his own hammer, claiming that weightlessness seemed to override the rules for raising the hammer. After beating Thor, the Hulk left him on the surface of the Moon, and he himself returned to Earth, landing on the border of the Rift in San Francisco. Because of this, the city began to plunge into the Pacific Ocean.

After A-Bomba pulled the Hulk to the surface, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and She-Hulk appeared in front of them. Iron Man offered help to the Green Giant, but he refused and went to the Red Hulk, guided in his search only by instinct. At this time, Thor returned and began to beat Ralk, but the Wild Hulk intervened and prevented Thor from delivering the final blow. A-Bomba told Thor that it was the Hulk who had to defeat Ralk. The Hulk outwitted Ralk by allowing him to beat him up, which angered Ralk and made him overheat. After that, it took a few hits from the Hulk to defeat Ralk. While the Hulk, tired of the fight, was about to go into the desert, A-Bomba again became Rick and wanted to tell Bruce Ralk's true name, but Samson knocked him out. Samson dragged Rick away while Ross stood over Ralk's body and said that he was now on his own.

Red Hulk vs. Lady Liberators

She-Hulk has authorized the gathering of a team called the Lady Liberators in order to take revenge on Ralk and find out his "civilian" identity. The new team consisted of She-Hulk, Thundra, and Valkyrie. They found Ralk at the top of Mount Rushmore after three days of searching for gamma signatures. A battle ensued, in which Ralk prevailed, adding fuel to the fire with his Shivinist jokes. Capturing the She-Hulk, and hanging her by the neck above the propo, he was already celebrating victory, but the girls freed their friend and rushed into battle with renewed vigor. It eventually got to the point where the team shattered Abraham Lincoln's head and Rulk was shot in the face with a shotgun, which only made him even more angry. And then the other Ladies of the Liberator appeared: Sue Storm, Tigra, Hellcat, Spider-Woman, Black Widow and Storm, which allowed them to defeat Ralka and chain him. Tandra wanted to decapitate him with the Valkyrie sword, but She-Hulk was against, stating that she must wait until he calms down and returns to his normal, human state. At dawn, Ralk not only did not turn back into a human, but also broke the chains and, seizing Tandra, set off in an unknown direction. Then he offered her a secret job.

Defenders vs. Offenders

The Elder (Grandmaster) and the Collector (Collector) have made a wager: both will create super-beings on command and force them to fight. The Elder selected the original Defenders, while the Collector recruited Ralka, Tiger Shark, Terrax, and Baron Mordo to his team. Rulk became the leader of his team, which he called the Offenders. The Elder and the Collector feared that the teams would be equal in strength, and therefore brought in several additional members: Galactus, Dormammu, and Psycho-Man. While the battle was fought between the two teams, Ralk emerged victorious by killing the Hulk.

The Elder brought Ralk back into the game, and he began to kill his allies and more. He destroyed the Psycho-Man, chopped off Terrax's head with his own ax, sucked all Cosmic Energy from the Silver Surfer, and also took away his board. He then went to the Dormammu dimension and there he burned the Tiger Shark and beheaded Namor. After that, he took the Surfer's lifeless body to Galactus and wanted to fight him, but he only siphoned the Surfer's energy from Ralk and sent him back to Earth. There, at this time, the Elder resurrected everyone who was involved in this game and returned them to their rightful places in space and time, but was attacked and killed by Ralk. While Ralk was beating the Elder, the Hulk appeared and kicked Ralk up the mountain.

A little later, the Hulk was captured by the Intelligentsia. She-Hulk and Spider-Man came to the secret base to free him, and in the ensuing battle, Ralk absorbed all of the Green Giant's gamma radiation, thus healing Bruce Banner and depriving him of the opportunity to transform again.

Chasing Dominoes

When Ross in his human form was talking with Samson, this meeting was accidentally seen by Domino, who was on a mission of her own and who happened to be nearby. Ralc chased after her, but Domino was able to escape. Ralk then created a team that included him, Deadpool, Punisher, Elektra, Tandra and Crimson Dynamo, and named it Code Red. Each of the team members was selected by Samson. Elektra tracked down Domino, and Ralk, along with his team, went to her. But upon arriving at the scene, they discovered that Domino had summoned her friends, the X-Force. During the skirmish, Wolverine blinded Ralk before being thrown into the East River by Ralk. During the battle, Code Red was defeated. Wolverine returned and was almost done with Rulk when the mysterious Red She-Hulk appeared and knocked Wolverine out with the weapon Domino was using. In addition, she held Electra's sais and claimed to have killed both of them. She also stated that Jennifer Walters is also dead. The remnants of the Red Code were left behind as the Red She-Hulk led the blind Ralka into the sewers. At this time, Leonard Samson appeared in front of the team and announced that Rulk was not going to fulfill his promises to the team, unlike him.

Meanwhile, much to his surprise, Ralk noticed a lot in common between him and the Red She-Hulk. Having climbed far enough into the sewers, the Red She-Hulk stuck the Ralka sai of Electra into the carotid artery. Then Samson appeared along with the Punisher, Deadpool and Tandra. The Red Hulk realized that it was Samson who set up the case with Domino, forced him to collect the Red Code, and now led this team against himself. Rulk tried to talk to Leonard, but he said that "The Good Doctor is gone" (his evil personality prevailed in him). Ralk then tried to convince the others that he could be trusted. It turned out that Tandra did not betray Ralka, which she proved by grappling with Samson. Ralk decided to run away, and Red She-Hulk chased after him. And Deadpool and the Punisher realized that this did not concern them, and left. Meanwhile, Rulk and Red She-Hulk began to fight again, and Rulk jumped with her on the roof of the Empire State skyscraper. At first he threatened to throw her off the roof, but then changed his mind, deciding that she would answer his questions. But she did not listen to him and pushed him down. There, Elektra was waiting for him, who went with him to Domino. The latter ended up in the apartment of the Silver Sable. Domino told Ralk that she was taking revenge on the CII for her husband's death and that she did not expect to find Ralk there. She was never able to prove that she had not seen Ralk's face in human form, but hinted that if she did, then in the event of her death, this information would become public. Then Ralk said that the government has long been looking for an excuse to exterminate mutants, and the existence of such a team as X-Force, especially under the leadership of the Avenger Wolverine, may well be just this reason. He promised to keep information about the X-Force a secret if Domino didn't reveal his identity to anyone. Ralk then discussed what had happened with Elektra. He realized that the intelligentsia did not trust him, and all his plans would have to be revised.

Fall of the Hulks and World War Hulks

Later, Ralk was seen fighting General Ross (remember, in fact, the latter was a copy robot), who used special armor. The fake Ross began to gain the upper hand, but was killed when he revealed himself to his opponent. In fact, Rulk is now allied with Bruce Banner, and killing Ross was part of their plan. Their partnership was shaky at best, as they didn't trust each other, but both needed each other to complete their mission to defeat the Intelligentsia.

He continued on missions, including a visit to the secret CII base, which housed not only the M.O.D.O.K. clones, but also the Space Hulk, a robot found by the Intellectuals. While trying to destroy the Hulk, Ralk accidentally activated it, giving him a particle of his own energy. The Space Hulk quickly dealt with Rulk and A-Bomba, but was recalled by the Leader. After that, Ralk and Rick returned to Banner and told him what had happened, and Ralk told Bruce that he had a daughter, Lyra.

After that, Rulk went to the Baxter Building to prevent the Intelligentsia from capturing Reed Richards. Rulk tried to convince the Thing that he was on his side, but the Thing did not listen to him. But Rulk was still able to convince Ben that they should seal the portal to the Negative Zone, which Trapster lured Ben into. Ralk tried to absorb energy from the Negative Zone to give the Thing some time, but was unable to do so; moreover, this energy weakened him. Therefore, he almost lost the Thing, but was able to save him at the last minute.

While trying to save T'Challa from being abducted by the Red Ghost and his minions, Ralk was attacked by the X-Men, who mistook him for an enemy. But then Ralk received unexpected help from the Red Ghost monkeys, who, however, soon pounced on him. By killing one of them, Mikhlo, he angered the Red Ghost, who stopped his heart. Upon recovering, Rulk discovered that the Intelligentsia had kidnapped not only T'Challa, but also Hank McCoy. Rulk returned to Banner and told him what had happened. A quarrel broke out between them: Banner tried to convince Ralk that the Intellectuals were playing with them and making them behave like the old green Hulk.

Soon, Ralk attacked the lair of the Intelligentsia - the Hellcarier, a stolen SHIELD aircraft carrier over Washington. He destroyed the Mad Thinker gamma android, but was defeated by the Space Hulk. He was then hooked up to a cathexis machine, which was used to turn a small army of CII agents into Hulk-like monsters. She also turned some of the heroes into Hulk-like versions of themselves. These heroes (Captain America, Thor, Ms. Marvel and others) decided to attack Ralka. After defeating them, Ralka was attacked by the Red She-Hulk. Having completely exhausted his energy, Ralk could not resist. In addition, the Ralc Woman showed exactly the same ability as his - the absorption of energy. She turned Ralka into a human and saw who he really was - General Thaddeus "The Thunderer" Ross. Upon learning this, Red She-Hulk did not kill him and revealed to him that she was his daughter, Betty Ross. Betty left him, but Ross was quickly discovered by the Space Hulk. Ross began to suck energy from the Hulk, transforming back into Ralk, and tore the robot in two.

Hulk's last stand

Bruce Banner and his allies stopped the Intelligentsia, and Banner himself absorbed the radiation from the cathexis machine and became the Hulk again. Meanwhile, Ross began to carry out the crucial part of his plan, because now the Intelligentsia could not prevent him. He burst into the White House (there was just an interview given by an android portraying Glenn Talbot, who, according to the plan of the Intelligentsia, was supposed to let them finish what they started, but Ralk tore his head off) and announced that he had taken control of everything and was going save the country.

The Hulk broke into the Oval Office and forced Ross to attack him. Red She-Hulk, She-Hulk, Lyra and A-Bomba accompanied the Hulk on this mission. The Hulk began to gain the upper hand when Betty tried to stop him by calling him Bruce. She-Hulk, Jen, tried to restrain her, stating that it was Bruce and Ross's private affair. This infuriated Betty, and she lashed out at Jen. Seeing this, Ross found a second wind, but was immediately thrown across the city by the Hulk, who said that he was "going to put an end to this."

The Hulk and Rulk continued to fight on the other side of the city, and their fight prevented the Wizard, Ghost and Trapster from escaping. Rulk again tried to absorb the Hulk's gamma radiation, but there was too much of it, and a small gamma explosion occurred. Thinking he had won, Ralk climbed out of the crater, claiming he was the strongest. The Hulk appeared behind him and with the words: "Is this all you have?", Delivered an unimaginable blow to Ross, knocking him out. The Hulk then revealed that he had been following Ross from the beginning. The fake death and funeral was all done to ensure that Ralk could never become Ross again. In addition, if Ross had revealed to everyone that he was Ralk, he would have been immediately hanged for treason.

Scorched earth

We later see the Hulk leading Steve Rogers to the rebuilt Gamma Base, where Rulk was imprisoned. Hulk told Rogers that he believed Ross could be a good addition to missions where his skills and experience might be required. "Ross is a patriot who will sacrifice himself for the sake of the country" - this is how the Hulk described him. When they appeared in front of Ralka's camera, he immediately announced that he had been waiting for a long time for them to come. Then Rogers decided he wasn't ready yet. Banner activated an anti-gravity mechanism inside Ross's chamber, forcing him to calm down. Three days later, Rogers returned and saw that Ross had calmed down and was ready to work. Steve asked Ross to return to his human form, which he did out of respect for the Super Soldier. Banner immediately injected something into Ross's body, which immediately knocked him out. While he was unconscious, Banner worked to remove Ross's ability to absorb energy from others, later stating that this ability would soon kill him. Bruce and Ross began to argue, but Ross soon agreed with Banner; besides, Bruce cared for Betty and used Ross to improve the same procedure for her. Then Rogers entered; he said that no one trusts Ross now, including the public. Therefore, he will have to work with those whom Steve personally trusts. They also told Ross about the Intellectuals' plan called "Scorched Earth". This plan took effect as soon as the Leader and M.O.D.O.K. failed. A series of cataclysmic cataclysms will begin to occur across the globe until it completely destroys the Earth.

A project at a research facility in Santa Claire, California got out of hand, and Banner and Rogers sent Ross there. Steve tried to contact Iron Man to warn them that Ross was now on their side, but was thwarted by interference from the Santa Clare base. As soon as Rulk was in the field of view of the sensors of the armor of Iron Man, he immediately attacked Ross, forgetting about pressing problems. Due to the loss of attention, Iron Man's armor was able to infect the biological virus created in this research project. After that, Stark dropped the armor like scales and manipulated it from a distance until he could remove all traces of the technomorphs. Rulk and Stark teamed up when they realized their initial conflict was a misunderstanding. Stark then sent Ralk to the base and guided him to the central network, which Ross destroyed, freeing everyone who had been infected with technomorphic implants.

Ralk's next mission was to stop two wandering comets that were heading towards Earth through an artificial black hole created by M.O.D.O.K. and Leader. Although the black hole was sealed, the comets still needed to be destroyed. Banner and Rogers decided to send Thor and Ralk on the mission. Thor, as soon as he saw Ralk, immediately flew into a rage and pounced on him. Rogers decided that Thor had not heard some specific aspects of the mission (although Thor later admitted to Bruce that he had heard everything). Bruce had to turn on Galactus' hologram to get their attention and force them to stop fighting. Thor then opened a portal to the comets, leading Ralka as well. Then they split up and each "took" a comet. When Ross destroyed his target, he was thrown onto an asteroid, where he met the Observer. He told him that the black hole is still open and that this black hole does not send an object that fell into it to the other end of the universe, but simply destroys it. He also told Ross that soon he would be over the horizon and there would be no turning back. After that, Ralk could not resist and almost fell into a black hole, but Thor arrived in time to save him; both returned to Earth. There, Banner insisted that the black hole was still closed, suggesting that Uatu opened it himself in order to get revenge on Ralk for the fact that he once nearly killed him.

Back at Gamma Baza, Ross asked Banner when he was going to let him see his daughter. In response, he learned that Bruce was "not responsible for this." At this point, Bruce was informed of another Scorched Earth cataclysm. Ross was sent with Rogers to Namor. On the way there, Steve informed Ross that if Scorched Earth was stopped, he might offer Ross another job. Namor and Ralk soon teamed up to shut down an unknown type of rig that had uncovered methane deposits under the seabed. Mixing with magma, methane destroyed oxygen in the atmosphere over the Atlantic, and could soon destroy all oxygen on Earth. The "Boer" consisted of two sound structures Klaw, in the form of electric eels. After discovering and destroying the power source of these structures, Rulk and Namor closed the holes in the methane deposits and sealed the holes in the volcano. Once this was completed, Namor attacked Ralk, claiming that his involvement had helped the Intelligentsia nearly destroy Earth. He also said that now Ralk will meet "the justice of the deep". Namor then "knocked" Ralk to the surface of the sea, where Rogers was waiting.

He told Ross that he should go to Monster Island - the last known location of Rick Jones, A-Bomb. Rulk found the A-Bomb on the back of another monster heading into the whirlpool. Rick muttered to go East, to destroy civilization. And then Ross noticed that on Rick's back and on the monster's head there were incomprehensible growths that were slowly growing. Rulk tried to talk to Rick, but he attacked him, and then attached one of those "growths" to Ross's body. Under his influence, Ralk began to see pictures of the destruction of human civilization, but was able to resist this when he saw that the threat loomed over America. He began to get angry and overheat, destroying the "growth". Then he managed to free Rick, but he himself became Ross again due to overheating. Rick and Ross contacted Banner as Ross could not transform into Ralka again. Bruce stated that the volcano on the Island was the source of the Scorched Earth program and that it was from there that the signal that controlled those "growths" was coming from. While the two were trying to break through to the volcano, A-Bomba was incapacitated. Then Ross tried to become Ralc again, but could not, and the monsters began to approach. And then ... the Hulk appeared, who teleported to them using Banner's technologies. He told Ross that if the monsters can't "charge" him, then the Hulk can. This turned out to be true when, after absorbing some of the Hulk's energy, Ross turned into Rulk.

Two Hulks made their way to the volcano. Rulk stated that if he could absorb energy, they would be able to win, to which the Hulk replied that "Banner was lying" and did not disable his ability to absorb energy. They then discovered that Rick had come to his senses and ordered him to stay put while they dealt with the problems. Inside the volcano, they found the machines that controlled the Scorched Earth program. These machines contained the cloned brains of M.O.D.O.K.A. It was because of this that Banner was unable to hack into the computers he thought were running the program. The Hulk then rushed towards them, but was struck by a beam that triggered a reverse transformation into Banner. After that, he fell into a tanker with brains. Ralk was able to destroy the tanker, and the recovered Rick pulled Bruce out of it. After getting out of the volcano, Banner tells Ross that he did not operate on it, as he had little experience in operations of this kind, and he could kill Ross. He also said that if Ross continued to absorb energy, he would soon burn out all of his cells and lose either Ross or Ralk. Ross said he wants to keep both. To this Bruce replied that everything was in his (Ross's) hands and thanked him for destroying the Scorched Earth program.

Two Hulks in one

Ralk was in Death Valley, in Gamma Base, examining what Banner had mistaken for a teleportation bridge. Banner asked Ross to be careful, as he believed the bridge could be used to capture the Hulk. When Ralk looked inside, he was attacked by the Woodgod. He stated that he returned in order to kill the Hulk (for whom he took Ross). Bruce stated that he was heading towards them. At this time, Ralk, calling the Wood God a hippie, began to beat him until he retreated. Ross thought he had won until he saw a Hulk-like figure who declared that he had not yet won. Ross thought it was Banner, but it turned out to be the Impossible Man. He announced that he was here to broadcast the rematch of the century. When Ralk asked who the rematch would be between, Xemnu, who left the portal, answered his question. He realized that Ralk was not the same Hulk he had fought before. Ralk tried to attack, but fell as Xemnu took control of his body. Ralk began to beat himself up. Xemnu, in turn, told Ralk that he did not have the ability to resist his control like the previous Hulk. He also added that if Ralk is no longer the protector of the Earth, then he (Xemnu) will attack the inhabitants of the planet. At that moment, the real Hulk appeared, which landed directly on Xemna.

Since the Hulk was able to protect his mind from Xemnu's control, the latter summoned his henchmen. The Impossible Man could not afford to destroy the Earth, so he fired an unknown beam at Ralk, claiming that it would help resist Xemnu's psi waves. As a result, the beam merged Rulk and Hulk into one body of red and green halves, each controlling only its own half. At first, both could not get used to their new position, but still managed to defeat the monsters. Then Ksemnu released another monster named Kluh (the word "Hulk" written backwards). He was similar to the Gray Hulk, but spoke in a sublime, outdated style. Klakh was able to defeat the Hulks and send them into the air. Then the Hulk suggested to Ralk to find something in common and thus defeat Klach. This shared love for Betty. The Hulks managed to defeat Klakh and Xemna and send them to the portal. After some bickering with the Impossible Man, the Halki were separated and agreed never to talk about the topic again.

Is Ralk the Avenger?

Rulk informed the Avengers of what he saw. Upon learning that someone had received the power with which they could beat Ralk, the Avengers decided that they should immediately find out who it was. Stark immediately went to "check his files," and the rest of the Avengers, along with Rulk, began their own investigation. Meanwhile, Iron Man gathered the Illuminati to investigate, but in the Himalayas they faced a mixed group of Avengers, joined by Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Ms. Marvel, Mockingbird, and the Secret Avengers. (Secret Avengers): Beast, War Machine, Creature and Moon Knight. After a lengthy skirmish that released the accumulated tension, it was decided that they needed to get to the Stones before Robbins could. Professor Xavier led one of the groups to his ruined school, where he hid his stone. Iron Man led the group to Area 51 (Stark claimed to be the owner of the area). And the third group, consisting of Ralk, Thor and Namor, plunged into such depths of the ocean, where other creatures could not reach. The Time Stone was kept there. Thor took him to him, as he most likely could not abuse this power. Iron Man's group arrived late and Robbins teleported them with a new Stone, Cosmic. Robbins then teleported to the next Rock and thus appeared in front of Thor, Ralc and Namor, who were just beginning to land. Immediately, Ralk performed a distraction, gaining the Power Stone at his disposal. The Avengers then gathered all their strength and tried to attack the Hood, but he disappeared and soon met Thanos / Thanos (in fact, it was Doctor Strange who used the illusion spell). Ralk seized the moment and punched Kolpak in the face; this forced Robbins to let the Stones out of his hand, allowing the Avengers to take most of these Stones for themselves. But the Hood still had the Reality Stone, with which he made Iron Man disappear. Rulk chased Robbins, and due to the power of the Stones, they traversed several universes, including Earth-1610 (Ultimate Universe), Earth-712 (Supreme Squadron Universe), Earth-58163 (M Day), and Earth-2149 (Marvel Zombie). Finally, Robbins decided to come to an agreement with Rulk, asking him to give the Stone, but he showed only empty hands and replied: “He was just in your hands. Now there is no. Guess who has it. " Robbins turned and saw Stark with the Infinity Gauntlet and the Stones. The latter used the combined power of the Stones to take the latter away from the Cap, send him back to prison and restore everything that was destroyed. Then he erased the Gauntlet of Infinity from reality (as it turned out later, in fact, this was a trick designed to mislead everyone present, in order to exclude the possibility of leaking information about the Gauntlet. The Infinity Stones were again divided between the Illuminati). After this incident, Steve Rogers offered Ralk a place on the team.

Hunted Beast

General Fortin began to hunt Ralka shortly thereafter. Here we will give short history this person. Reginald Fortean was one of the soldiers under Ross' command during the latter's hunt for the Hulk. He became one of Ross's most loyal assistants, learning everything he could from it. When Ross was killed (although it turned out to be only a copy of him), Fortin vowed revenge on the Red Hulk. After being promoted to general and taking Ross's place, he teamed up with his allies and together they built the Thunderbolt, a huge aircraft that was used as a mobile base to track Ralk's movements.

Fortin eventually found Ralka crossing the Colorado border. He ordered his subordinates to attack Ralk, and they managed to hit him while jumping. Angry, Rulk jumped onto the roof of the Thunderbolt, where he was personally met by the general himself, who managed to defeat Ross and throw him off the plane, at the same time injecting an injection containing nanobots. After discovering Ralka some time later, Fortin was away from his soldiers, while Ralka tried to tell him about his true identity. But due to the improved armor of the Redeemer, in whose systems there was a failure at that moment, the general did not hear him. At this point, Fortin informed Ralk about the nanobots he had introduced to him when they first met. Now that Ralk has turned back into a human, the nanobots have received specific data on his transformation and will fry Ralk's brains during the next transformation. He then catapulted out of the Redeemer's armor, leaving Ross unconscious.

After tracing Ralka to Llano, a county in Texas, Fortin fired special missiles that created stone creatures upon contact with the ground. After Ralk destroyed them, the general thanked him for testing them. He also invited Ralk to sleep, which added to Ross's fears about the possibility of sleep: after all, he could accidentally turn back into Ross, which would allow Fortin to kill him.

While pursuing Ralk in the city of Beebe, Fortin was disappointed to see Ralk rescue the city's inhabitants from a tornado. He believed that this was all a ruse that allowed him to be among the civilians, and not a sincere attempt to save them. He later witnessed a fight between Ralc and Black Fog, who then escaped. Fortin went abroad for unknown reasons.

Planet of the Red Hulk

After all these events, Rogers contacted Ross and gave him orders to go into space to help the astronauts. Orbiting the Earth was a damaged Russian spacecraft at the center of an unknown phenomenon. Ross had to get on the ship and, if possible, save the pilots. But the unexpected happened: when he was on the ship, the engines turned on and Ross flew inside this "gap". Flying through it, Ralk found himself in the unknown solar system, and by that time the ship had completely used up the remaining reserves of fuel. Rulk decided to land on the nearby red planet. Having landed on the surface of the planet, Ralk found himself in the net of some kind of web; it was in this state that the inhabitants of the planet discovered him. Seeing him, one of the natives attacked him with a spear, which Ralk easily pulled aside. The native's girlfriend threw some kind of fruit in Ralk's face, due to the action of which he lost consciousness. Waking up, Ralk found himself entangled by an incomprehensible plant, and around him were the natives. Because of this plant, he could not move, but at the same time he could talk with the natives. From the conversation, he realized that they only need it as a source of information, because if he is not from their planet, it means that he was sent from a neighboring one. At that moment, King Warka appeared. Ralk was not very impressed and called the king a weakling. He, in a fit of rage, pounced on Ralka, claiming that the right comes from strength, and only he, Warka, has strength.

After that, unconscious, Ross wondered who might benefit from his link to this planet. He had two options: it was Banner who had previously gone through the same test. Although even if it was not him, he could do it. The second option is the Avengers, who, according to Ross, "everyone hated him." But he decided to prove to them that if the Hulk came back, he could. When he regained consciousness, Ralk saw Alturi, a local resident, who helped him to recover. After that, Ralk was taken to the arena, where he was to fight against Kargus the Deadly; Ralk called him "handsome." Huarka controlled Kargus through the mindroot, and was supposed to take control of Ralc, but this did not happen thanks to Alturi. In a short and fierce battle, Ralka killed Warka, and immediately Alturi publicly proclaimed Ralka the new king.

A little later, another tribe of yellow-skinned natives from a neighboring planet attacked the inhabitants of the red planet. Ralk and his subjects killed the invaders, but did not burn them, as their tradition demanded; Ross ordered them to examine their bodies and prepare to attack at dawn. The next day, the yellow-skinned king, Bellusk, was brought back a worm that had been used yesterday in the attack on Ralk. Then Ralk climbed out of his mouth and, together with his people, disguised as yellow-skinned, attacked the king and his troops. Bellask shouted in Ralk's face that he was "the strongest here"; to which Ross replied that he had already heard this somewhere, and that he, the Red Hulk, was the strongest here.

After the battle, Ralk told both peoples that the time of the legends of their worlds, when their kings flew to the planets from heaven and killed all enemies, was over. Now they must unite and choose their leader, for example the Altars. Ralk took Bellask with him and flew with him to the portal. On the way, he told the former king that both peoples differ only in skin color and nothing more. Flying through the hole, Ralk saw Bellask and his


Skills: Thaddeus Ross has excellent marksman skills, thanks to the fact that he has served for a long time in the military, and he is also good at hand-to-hand combat.
Abilities: The Red Hulk possesses the same powers and abilities as the Hulk, except that the Red Hulk uses more tactics and intelligence. Red has great physical strength and impenetrability. Its strength is so great that it can lift over 100 tons with ease, and its penetration resistance is great enough to withstand large caliber bullets and other extreme forces. Another of the differences between the Red Hulk and the Savage Hulk is that the Red Hulk's powers do not increase depending on his emotional state. Red in a battle face to face with the Hulk was able to defeat him. Savage fought other heavyweights as well, such as She-Hulk, Atomic Bomb, Thor and Uatu.

In addition, unlike the Hulk, the Red Hulk emits excessive amounts of gamma radiation. But this can become his own inconvenience, as when too much heat is generated within his body, the Red Hulk begins to feel dizzy, thus becoming vulnerable to attack. Savage once told the Silver Surfer that Red's power was in absorbing energy, especially gamma, but when Ross absorbed the Silver Surfer's Cosmic Energy, he got hold of it quite easily. The savage tried to absorb negative energy, but it hurt him and made him weak. This ability was eventually removed from General Ross and Betty Ross by Bruce Banner, as it could have killed them.

Biography: General Thaddeus Ross (General Thaddeus Ross) worked in the United States Air Force, where he was in charge of the Gamma Bomb ) run by Bruce Banner (Hulk) ... Ross's daughter, Betty Ross ) fell in love with Bruce despite the fact that her father was against this flirting with a scientist for whom he did not have respect. Since Dr. Banner was transformed into the Hulk ( Hulk), General Ross spent many years trying to capture the Green Goliath ( Green Goliath)despite committed high treason and alliance with the enemies of the Hulk: Leader, M.O.D.O.C. (M.O.D.O.C.) and the Abomination, Emil Blonsky ( Abomination).

During the battle between Bruce and the deadly mutant, Ross sacrificed himself and gave his blessing to Betty and Bruce. His body was stolen by the Leader and revived to replace the Deliverer. Ultimately, the General returned to normal and returned to the Air Force. He also made peace with Banner, and everything seemed to be fine until Betty died from gamma poisoning. Ross began hunting the Hulk again. But after he learned that the Abomination was guilty of the death of his daughter, he began to help Bruce.

Planet Hulk / World War Hulk

The Hulk was considered a threat on Earth and to prevent further destruction, a group of superheroes, the Illuminati ) decided to send Bruce into space (the Hulk was tricked there). After testing in space, Banner returned to Earth, wanting to bring the Illuminati to justice. After defeating Iron Man ) , Fantastic Four (Fantastic Four) and the Avengers ) , General Ross appeared with the military.

General Ross regretted that people always apologized to the Hulk (Earth superheroes built a statue of Adamantium in honor of the Hulk), because he believed that he was a threat to humanity.

Ross attacked the Hulk, but he easily defeated the general and his army.

After the battle between the Hulk and the Sentinel ( Sentry) General Ross caught and sent Banner to rehab at Gamma Base ( Gamma Base), (located three miles underground). In fact, Banner was under the control of the Intelligentsia ( Intelligencia).

Red Hulk

Origin

Red Hulk ( Red Hulk) was created by the Intelligentsia after the World War Hulk event ( World War Hulk)... The satellites that Iron Man used to topple and drain the Hulk were hacked, and all the power siphoned from Bruce, along with the Cosmic Force ( Power Cosmic) was used to create the Red Hulk.

Satellites tracked a large seismic activity in Canada, belonging to Red. There he set up a camp. During this time, Ross fought the Abomination and was attacked by Wendigo. He tore off the head of the latter as a warning to the others. This was the first sign that another Hulk existed.

First Appearance: Red Hulk vs. SHIELD

SHIELD members, Maria Hill and Iron Man, along with She-Hulk, Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk , Jennifer Walters) , General Ross and Leonard Samson ) , found the body of the Abomination in Russia, riddled with rather large bullet holes. In the wake of the Hulk and the remaining gamut of radiation, Leonard explained to the group what had happened at the crime scene. He found it odd that the Hulk had left traces of glass. And also the fact that the Hulk resorted to murder with weapons, and even an extremely large one - stolen from SHIELD. After a short fight with the Winter Guard General Ross found a small child, a witness of that battle, who only repeated one word in Russian - Red.

While Maria, Tony Stark, and Jennifer were discussing the events aboard the (SHIELD) Helicarier, the latter was attacked by the Red Hulk. During the fight, he revealed to her that he was not Bruce Banner and that he could kill her any time he wanted. He then threw Walters, leaving her unconscious. Believing that everyone was in danger, Stark ordered Samson and Ross to go to a more guarded compartment as he prepared to fight the Red Hulk himself. Thaddeus deflected uni-rays ( uni-beam) and smashed Iron Man, eventually destroying the Helicopter's stabilizer in the engine room. On the surface of the ship, the Red Hulk struck Iron Man (Iron man ), sending him to the pilot cockpit. Tony's armor began to malfunction, but Iron Man was rescued by She-Hulk, who told him that the Airline had been infected with a virus that erased all SHIELD files. on Red. The Helicopter itself fell on New York, but Iron Man ferried the trajectory of the ship's fall to the area in New Jersey ( New Jersey).

The strongest among all

Red Hulk followed Rick Jones ) to Gamma Base in Death Valley, Nevada ( Death Valley, Nevada)trying to kill him. The general hit Rick, but in Jones it only triggered the transformation into an Atomic Bomb ( A-Bomb)... During the fight, the two destroyed most of the Gamma Base. The Red Hulk tried to kill Rick, but realized that he could do him much more harm than the Abomination. Ross's blows were strong enough to cause a magnitude 10 earthquake, splitting the base of Gamma Base. There, underground, in the cell, Bruce Banner was held, starting with the World War Hulk. Due to the released gases, Bruce began to transform.

Atomic Bomb and Red continued to fight, while Gamma Base released Robotic Harpies ( Harpies) (with Betty Ross's face) to attack these two. Rick and the Stormbringer destroyed the Harpies, and while Red continued to fight, the original Hulk appeared. At this moment, the Watcher appeared (Watcher ) , apparently to follow the fight between the two Hulks. But Thaddeus quickly punched the Observer in the face, knocking Uatu to the ground. While Ralk was attacking the Observer, Hulk grabbed Red and the two began fighting again. As Bruce seemed to be gaining the upper hand, Ross quickly found himself behind Banner and broke his arm. The Red Hulk brought Bruce to the top Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco), where he wanted to kill him with the same weapon with which the Abomination. The Hulk bit the barrel of the cannon, breaking it, and after a short fight fell into the water.

Before the Thunderer pursued the Hulk, Thor, the Scandinavian god, confronted Thaddeus. During the battle, Red easily repulsed all the blows, and, grabbing the top of Thor's hammer, jumped into orbit. There he defeated a Scandinavian with the same hammer, claiming that the rules for lifting the hammer did not apply to him. Ralk defeated the god and left him on the moon, while he went back to Earth. His landing in San Francisco, namely San Andreas, caused large waves to form, thereby endangering the city.

After the Atomic Bomb returned the Hulk to land, She-Hulk, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four were waiting for him there. They offered to team up, but Bruce set off to fight the Red Hulk again (he was able to locate him instinctively). Returning Thor began to fight Thaddeus. While the Scandinavian was about to deliver the final blow to his opponent, the Hulk appeared and began to fight the Red himself. The Scandinavian god wanted to take revenge on his opponent, but the Atomic Bomb stopped him, saying that the Hulk should do it. Banner outwitted the Red Hulk, angering him to the point that he eventually overheated. Bruce quickly struck a few more blows, thus confirming his victory. Tired of fighting, Banner headed out into the desert while the Atomic Bomb reverted to human form and tried to tell the Hulk about Ross's real identity, but before he could say those words, Leonard Samson shot Jones down. Samson dragged Rick away, telling Red that he was a failure and that he was now on his own.

Red Hulk vs. Lady Liberators She-Hulk

She-Hulk has assembled a team, seeking revenge on the Red Hulk. The new incarnation of the Lady Liberators ) included Valkyrie and Thundra. The trio found the General at a bar on Mt. Rushmore after three days of tracking his gamut of trail.

But soon the Tigra, Sue Storm ) , Black Widow ) Spider-Woman , Hellcat and Storm ) (all those whom She-Hulk offered to join the Lady of the Liberators), and brought victory over Red, chaining him. Xandra wanted to decapitate Ross to return him to human form, but no one agreed. When dawn broke, Red never changed, but instead broke his chains, knocked out Storm and Jennifer, and, grabbing Zandra, jumped off the mountain. After escaping, he offered Zandra a secret job.

Criminals vs. Defenders

Grandmaster ) and the Collector made a bet: everyone creates a super team for the fight. The Grandmaster selected the original Defenders as his champions. ) , and the Collector - Red Hulk, Tiger Shark (Tiger Shark ) , Terrax and Baron Mordo. Thaddeus became the leader of his team and named it Outlaws ( Offenders)... The Grandmaster and Collector, fearing that the opponents were equal in strength, brought in a few more members: Galactus, Dormammu, and The Psycho-Man ) ... During the fight between the two teams, Red emerged victorious by killing the Hulk.

The Grandmaster sent the Red Hulk back into the game, and he began killing everyone, including his teammates. The Thunderer killed the Psycho-Man, and then chopped off Terrex's head with his own ax. Ralk managed to steal the Silver Surfer's board.) and its cosmic power. Before Ross headed to Dormammu's dimension, he fryed the Tiger Shark, executed Namor, and rode the Surfer's board over Dormammu's head. The general brought the lifeless body of Silver to Galactus, wanting to fight, but he simply took the Red Hulk's Cosmic Power and sent him back to Earth. The grandmaster revived all those involved in the game and returned them to their rightful places. But when attacked, he was killed by the angry Red Hulk. During the fight with the Grandmaster, Thaddeus stopped him by hitting a mountain peak.

Domino Chase

Later, Domino was able to see the Red Hulk transform into General Ross. Rulk after this incident stubbornly searched for her, but she ran away and claimed that she had not seen anything. Then the Stormbringer created a team of Punisher, Thundra, Deadpool, Elektra and Crimson Dynamo, calling them Code Red. Elektra located Domino and Red Code, also learning that Domino had his own team doing the dirty work, the X-Force. During the ensuing battle, Wolverine blinded Red. Logan (Logan ) was about to finish off Ross, but the Red She-Hulk shot down Wolverine, thereby saving the General. The remnants of the Red Code were left behind when Red led the Red Hulk into the sewers, avoiding battle. The general saw a lot similar to himself in the Red She-Hulk. Deep in the sewers, Red pierced the vital artery in Rulk's neck with Electra's sai, and soon Samson appeared with the Punisher, Deadpool, and Zandra to confront Red.

The Stormbringer tried to talk to Leonard in order to convince the group that the others could not be trusted. Zandra said she never betrayed the Red Hulk by trapping Samson. When Ross recovered, he went into action. Zandra fought Samson, while the Punisher and Deadpool, realizing that they had been deceived, fled. The Red She-Hulk was pursued by Thaddeus. Ultimately, having caught her, he climbed with her to the skyscraper. The general wanted to throw off Red, but decided to try to reason with her. Red She-Hulk turned insane, throwing the Thunderer back down the drain, where he was found by Elektra. She led him to Domino (wearing a Silver Sable costume). Red learned that Domino was following the leader of the A.I.M. to avenge her husband and had no idea that Red would be there. Ross learned that everyone was against him and formed an informal alliance with Electra, Deadpool, Dynamo and The Punisher. It was also revealed that the government was working on a plan to get rid of all mutants upon learning that this race could ultimately outnumber all humans.

Fall of the Hulks / World War of the Hulks

The Red Hulk was later seen fighting the armored Thunderbolt Ross. He had the advantage at the beginning of the fight, but when Ross revealed who he was, he was killed by Red. It was later revealed that Rulk was allied with Bruce Banner and that killing Ross was part of their plan. But cooperation with Banner was shaky, and only existed due to the fact that both needed each other in order to complete their mission - to end the Intelligentsia (the team that the Red Hulk once worked with) .Red continued to carry out missions in alliance with Banner - including a trip to the base of the secret C..II., which not only cloned MODOK's body, but also created the Space Hulk. After a little skirmish, Atomic Bomb and the General returned to Banner, reporting the events that had happened to them, after which the Red Hulk revealed to Bruce that he had a daughter, Lyra.

Rulk traveled to the Baxter Building to ensure that no one was hurt during the kidnapping of Reed Richards by the Intelligentsia. Red went to the Thing, Ben Grimm, to warn him of the impending threat that he would soon face, but Ben did not trust Ross and continued his attacks. The Red Hulk finally convinced Grimm that together they must re-close the portal to the Negative Zone that Trapster had broken through by Grimm. The general tried to absorb the negative energy, but only burned himself, making himself weaker. And so, when the Thing was in danger, the Thunderer saved him.

While trying to save T "Challa from being kidnapped by the Red Ghost and his minions, Ross was attacked by X-Men who thought Red was the enemy, thereby disrupting his rescue mission. Rulk received some help from the ape-like companions of the Red Ghost, but was later also attacked. The Red Hulk killed one of the great apes, Mikhlo, enraging the owner, for which the Red Ghost crushed the heart of the impudent. When Thunderbolt woke up, he learned that the Ghost not only escaped with T "Challa, but also kidnapped Hank McCoy. old green Hulk.

Thaddeus soon attacked the lair of the Intelligentsia - stolen from SHIELD. The helicopter, renamed the Hellcarrier, was hovering over Washington, DC. Red destroyed the Mad Thinker gamma android, but was captured by the Space Hulk. Ross was then hooked up to a machine that, with his help, transformed a small army of C.I.I. into hulk-like monsters. Several Hulk version superheroes were also created. After that, the heroes decided to attack the Thunderer. Defeating hulked out heroes (Thor, Ms. Marvel, Captain America, Cyclops, Storm, Spider-Man, Wolverine, etc.) ) Red Woman-Hulk appeared and attacked Red. Completely exhausted by that time, Thauddeus tried to fight her, but his strength let him down. Since Red had the same ability to absorb energy, she decided to use it against Ralk. After receiving all the energy, the real identity of the Red Hulk was revealed - General Thaddeus "Stormbringer" Ross. Red She-Hulk originally intended to kill Ross, but after discovering his true identity, she revealed hers. It turned out that she is his daughter, Betty Ross. Betty left Ross on the floor as the Space Hulk appeared. He grabbed a capable Ross, but Thaddeus began to release energy, regaining his strength. The General quickly turned into the Hulk and tore the Cosmic in two.

The helicopter, breaking down from the battles of the "Hulk-like" heroes and Banner's Avengers, was doomed to fall, and Red, meanwhile, reached the flight deck, to find the Leader. Ross grabbed him and absorbed all of his gamma radiation, thereby returning to human form, after which he left the Leader, as he would spend the rest of his life as an ordinary person. After that, Red went to the White House, to the Oval Office. He killed Glenn Talbot (who was live during the attack by the Hulked AIMarines), informing everyone that he had taken control of himself.

The last Hulk standing

As Rulk was about to take control and "save this country," the Hulk tore off the wall of the Oval Office to stop him, forcing the General to fight him. Red She-Hulk, She-Hulk, Lyra, and Atomic Bomb accompanied the Hulk. The Hulk and Ross fought for a short amount of time, and Brusse was already starting to win, but when Banner knocked Ross into the ground, Betty was called out. When Red also tried to intervene, she was stopped by Jennifer, who believed that she should let Bruce and Thaddeus finish their battle on their own. This infuriated Betty, and she attacked Jen. Seeing that his daughter was in danger, Ross got a second wind, but he was thrown across the city by the Hulk, who assured him that he would "put an end to this."

Banner and the General continued to fight on the other side of the city, stopping the Wizard, Ghost and Trapster during their bank robbery. The Red Hulk lashed out at the Hulk with a crushing blow, creating an atomic explosion. Thinking that he had won, Ross climbed out of the resulting crater, claiming that he was now the strongest. But then the Hulk came up, asking, "is this all you have achieved?" and with one thunderous clap finished with the General. The Hulk then revealed that he knew Ross's true identity from the beginning. The fake death and funeral was Banner's way of luring the General into a trap - after all, if he revealed himself as the Red Hulk in public, he would be hanged for high treason.


Scorched earth

Later, Ross was shown to Steve Rogers. Thaddeus was at the rebuilt underground Gamma Base, locked up, under increased security. The Hulk told Rogers that Ross could be a good addition to his various missions thanks to his skills. After all, Thaddeus is a patriot who "will even sacrifice himself for his country," just like Captain America. As such, Banner recommended that the Red Hulk be accepted into the Avengers. But Steve decided that Ross wasn't ready yet. The banner, for added security, had activated an anti-gravity mechanism in the General's cell. Three days later, Rogers returned to see if Thaddeus had calmed down. After meeting him in person, Steve insisted that the Red Hulk return to human form. He did it, but only out of respect for Cap. Banner immediately typed something into Ross and he passed out. While he was arriving unconscious, Bruce worked to remove the General's ability to absorb energy, claiming that this power could soon kill him. Disagreeing, Ross understood that Banner was right, and also cared about Betty, so that later he could do this procedure for her. Rogers told the General what his plans were for him, and also that he did not trust him (as well as the public). Ross was exposed to a plan of the Intelligentsia called "Scorched Earth". The plan took effect as soon as the Leader and MODOC lost their power. A series of catastrophic events around the world must then occur, ultimately destroying the Earth.

When the pilot plant in Santa Clara, California got out of control, Banner with Rogers sent the Red Hulk there as his first mission. Rogers tried to get in touch with Iron Man, Tony Stark and report Thaddeus's presence in their plans, but Santa Clara was very much interfered with. Therefore, as soon as Stark's armor discovered the presence of the Red Hulk, he immediately attacked the General. Ignoring the actual problem, Iron Man devoted all his attention to the fight against the Red Hulk, who seems to have infected his armor with a biological program, because of which Tony controlled the suit remotely, until he figured out with technomorphs (technomorphs ). Finally, after realizing that their conflict was a misunderstanding, Ross and Stark teamed up. Iron Man sent the General to the central network, which Red destroyed in order to get rid of techno-morphs.

Red's next mission was to stop the two comets heading towards Earth, thanks to the black hole created by MODOK and the Leader. Although the black hole was closed, the comets still needed to be destroyed. Banner and Rogers sent Thaddeus and Thor to solve the problem. Seeing the Red Hulk, Thor became enraged and attacked him. Banner stopped the fight with a harsh hologram of Galactus, drawing their attention. After the fight, Thor opened a comet portal. In space, the General and the Scandinavian split, after which Red collided with the Observer.

The observer informed him that the black hole was still open, and that it could harm other areas of the universe, but Uatu was obliged not to intervene. When Red fell off and began to fall into a black hole, Thor saved him, returning them both to Earth. There, Banner reported that the black hole had been closed, suggesting that the Observer may have opened the hole as some sort of revenge against the Red Hulk for punching him.

Later, at Gamma Base, Ross asked Banner about his daughter. At this point, Bruce was notified of another Scorched Earth event, after which he sent Ross along with Steve Rogers to Namor. During the trip, Rogers told Ross that if they closed the Survived Earth program, Thaddeus would have another chance to continue working. Together, Namor and Red teamed up to shut down a drilling that threatened to expose methane beneath the seabed, mixing with magma to destroy not only Atlantis' atmosphere, but the entire planet. The "Boer" turned out to be a sound construct of Klaw, in the shape of a giant glowing eel. After identifying the source of the energy, Red and Namor closed all holes that had been created.

Always and everywhere, the green Hulk was considered the strongest, most enduring and, of course, invincible. But how to answer the question, who is the strongest of the characters, if another superhero has appeared in the film industry - the Red Hulk? And in order to find out who the strongest character is, you need to get to know both of them better.

The story of the green Hulk

The Hulk is a superhero in Marvel comics. Its creators are Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Thus, the hero of animated and feature films is already 54 years old. The Hulk is Bruce Banner, a physicist. As a result of one of the experiments, an explosion occurred, and the physicist received strong radiation from a gamma ray.

As a result of this, the common man gained the ability to transform into a superhero. Very often the Hulk has to hide from the police, who are looking for him for the destruction inflicted, but the superhero always manages to extricate himself from even the most difficult situations. For 54 years, the Hulk has fought all the superheroes in the Marvel comics and still remains invincible.

Green Hulk's superpowers

Since the Green Hulk is the most powerful of the Marvel characters, it's worth paying attention to his abilities. What if there is still a stronger character?

The first thing worth paying attention to is the Hulk's superpower, which grows exponentially from the level of his anger. Moreover, the harder the character is beaten, the more strength he receives, which gives reason to call him stronger than Thor or even Hercules.

It is also surprising that the Hulk has the ability to heal itself, so any damage caused to him becomes only a reason for the Hulk's anger. The character has incredible speed, despite huge legs. As conceived by the authors, this character can move faster than the speed of sound. His equally fascinating ability is jumping. As you know, the Hulk was able to jump over the Earth's orbit.

This character has the ability to live without air, and he absolutely does not lend itself to magic or other supernatural actions. If they try to act on the Hulk with the help of evil dark forces, he feeds on this energy, and his power becomes even greater.

Also, if the Hulk is cut off a part of the body, it will certainly grow or regenerate. The character is endowed with unthinkable strength and resistance to any external factor, in addition, we can safely say that he can be reborn from molecules.

Can someone defeat him with such superpower?

Who is the Red Hulk?

As strange and surprising as it may sound, the green Hulk has a strong rival - the Red Hulk. Initially, before receiving superpower, he was a simple person who was very fond of the art of war. He was a descendant of the military, so being in this area is his life's work. Starting from the bottom and becoming a general, Ross earned the title of "Thunderer". During the gamma radiation, Ross was exposed to a beam that contained the green Hulk gene cathexis.

And as a result, his prototype appears before the fans of the green Hulk - the Red Hulk. But, unlike the first, the second Hulk also has military training... Strategic thinking and an irresistible desire to restore order in the country leads to an obligatory fight against the green Hulk, who constantly violates this order.

Therefore, the red Hulk versus green is an exciting story.

How did the Hulk meet?

General Ross was at the gamma-ray laboratory station. Bruce Bennett was appointed head of this project. General Ross could not come to terms with the fact that an ordinary citizen was appointed commander, and he, the general, was appointed subordinate.

After a while, Ross began to suspect that Bennett and the Hulk were one and the same person. Moreover, his hatred of the green Hulk was fueled by the feelings of his only daughter, Betty, for the physicist. Therefore, Ross did everything in order to find confirmation of the connection between the Hulk and the physicist and to reveal this deception. He hoped that when everything was revealed, his daughter would stop loving this monster. Therefore, Ross has always been at the head of those who are looking for the Hulk to kill him.

So who is stronger?

Red Hulk and Green Hulk have almost the same capabilities. They are both incredibly strong, fast characters. In addition, both have the ability to regenerate, which makes their fight more exciting. While Hulk red has thermal radiation, green has a suggestive feeling and resistance to telepathic influences.

The only major difference between the green Hulk and the red is that the second has military training, which helps him a lot. The fight between the red and green Hulk very often leads to the fact that one of them is temporarily defeated. So, in one of the episodes, the red Hulk attacks the green one, breaks his arm and throws it into the river. But all viewers know that the green Hulk will definitely get out and fight back, because it has the ability to live without air and can easily endure being in the water.

In addition, the green Hulk initially had to independently learn to maintain the thinking and intelligence of Bruce Bennett when turning into the Hulk. And the Red Hulk originally possessed this ability. But this does not give a reason to immediately award the victory to General Ross.

Hulki on the screen

When the Hulk was singular, there were films and cartoons about him that attracted people to the screens. Now, fans of this character will be able to watch the cartoon "Red Hulk vs. Green", which is full of confrontation between both characters. The most important question for all viewers is who is stronger. The cartoon is filled with many vivid pictures in which both heroes show their strength and desire to become the strongest on the planet, because the two of them are cramped on Earth.

The red Hulk will repeatedly act against the green Hulk. The cartoon will still show the viewer who is stronger, so all fans of films about the Marvel universe will be able to cheer for their favorite hero. And it will be an unforgettable sight.

Red Hulk is a new character, and he introduced another obstacle into the life of the green Hulk, which not only develops the plot, but also fuels the interest of the audience. The Hulk could always defeat any character, but now he has to defeat himself. Will he be able to withstand this fight?
