Which comic is this from? I'm getting into the comics

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC 5h ago

I can't find the exact run but it's after Spider-Man: One More Day storyline where he makes a deal to make everyone forget his identity.

So in the comics hulk and banner are still seperate?

u/Janemba_Freak 4h ago edited 4h ago

Hulk and Banner have combined, separated, reconciled, died, resurrected, become immortal, been seperate personalities, been multiple separate personalities, been separated into two distinct physical people, depowered, and repowered dozens of times. Professor Hulk, Doc Green, Planet Hulk/World War Hulk, and Immortal Hulk were all stories where Bruce and one of his hulks either combined or were acting in lockstep with each other.

I think it's best to view comic continuity as fluid. Or like some kind of hyper-continuity. When you pick up a Hulk comic, Bruce might be any combination of dead, depowered, married, separated, primarily savage hulk, Joe Fixit, Devil, worldbreaker, on the run, or actively part of a team. Just roll with whatever the status quo is during the specific comic you're reading, putting things on a specific timeline or whatever is an endless headache. This goes for any Marvel/DC comic, btw. Alfred has been dead in main continuity for years, but still shows up in stories all the time, and you just have to accept that "Oh, Alfred was alive for this one, cool."

This is the most sensible approach to comic-book canon I've ever seen.

Schrödinger's hulk

u/LargeCabbageThrower 3h ago

Uh, depends on the comic run tbh. The Immortal Hulk handled it best by representing the 'Hulk System' as a realistic expression of DID with gamma powers. The savage Hulk is a child like temper tantrum that Bruce formed as a child to escape/cope with an abusive father but when he got gamma powers that became the Hulk. There have been a lot of other Hulk personas through the years which are all separate split personalities that were created by various traumas in Bruce's life.

Is there an explanation as to why he didn’t? Too angry to forget?

157

u/SmokeyandtheBanjo 5h ago

Gamma energy. Gamma in Marvel comics is the nexus/bridge of science and magic. Which is why it gets so fucking weird and magic/science doesn't affect the hulk in ways that it should.

u/Spoonfairy 5h ago

Key part of anger is holding a grudge, Can't hold a grudge if you forget it.

u/SicknessVoid 5h ago

Not really, but one theory is that the moment everyone forgot, Bruce Banner was the active consciousness. So Hulk, being dormant, didn't forget.

u/Kioga101 3h ago

there's also the thing with Hull being the avatar or emissary or whatever of the Super Giga Mega Evil law of nature, "the one belowerer all" or something like that. That might be too retconny to be right tho'.

u/Janemba_Freak 4h ago

Gamma radiation is effectively magic in Marvel. Hulk is resistant to magics and mind control, so it just didn't work on him. Built different, ig

Guy spends half his day squatting on buildings, and the other half doing rope climb all over Queens, all in skin tight spandex, and still has people wondering why Peter Parkour got the cake.

Caked up spidey is basically my signature at this point

u/enslen_ 7h ago

Turns out the real reason why Family Guy was brought back was to not further anger the Hulk.

u/ViftieStuff 4h ago

Hulk not forgetting would be such a Hulk thing to do. I hope he remembers.

u/Armpit_Penguin PortugueseGeese Comics 3h ago

I'm almost certain that it will happen in the movie
