The Red Hulk is an alias that is used by different fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. While the first two were created from members of the United States army, the third one is a form of Hulk's Joe Fixit personality.
== Fictional character biography ==
=== Thunderbolt Ross ===
The first incarnation of Red Hulk (also known as Rulk) first appeared in the Hulk series that debuted in 2008. The 2010 "World War Hulks" storyline reveals that this being is United States Army General Thunderbolt Ross, the father-in-law and longtime nemesis of the original Hulk, Bruce Banner. The storyline reveals that Ross was given the ability to transform into Red Hulk by the organizations A.I.M. and the Intelligencia, and that he did this in order to better fight the original Hulk.

=== Robert Maverick ===
The origin of the second Red Hulk appears in the 2017 debut issue of U.S.Avengers. Four-star General Robert Maverick is selected for his genetic profile to create a being who is "halfway to a Hulk". A device called the Hulk Plug-In, created by Avengers Idea Mechanics (a legitimate technology company created from the remnants of the defunct supervillain organization Advanced Idea Mechanics), is implanted in Maverick's wrist. When triggered, it turns him into a variation of the Red Hulk for one hour approximately every day and a half. Unlike the Thunderbolt Ross version of Red Hulk, Maverick retains his mustache in his Hulk form and wears his sunglasses. He joins the U.S. Avengers.

Hulk's Joe Fixit personality later gained the ability to transform into his version of Red Hulk form when in the Below-Place.
== Other versions ==
The 2015 "Secret Wars" storyline tells of an unidentified Red Hulk called the Red King, the Baron of the Battleworld domain of Greenland. A variation of Captain America called the Captain is sent into Greenland by God Emperor Doom and Sheriff Strange to kill Red King, who is holding Bucky Barnes prisoner. After the Red King reveals to that group that he already killed Barnes, the Captain kills the Red King.

===Iago PUC's ideas===
* The Thunderbolt Ross version of Red Hulk appears in the Disney+ animated film Marvel's Superhero Adventures: Infinity War, with vocal effects from Fred Tatasciore. He is among the supervillains selected to join Tyler Hayward's Thunderbolt program and sent to battle Thanos, but only to be betrayed by Augustus Roman the Regent, and overwhelmed by the Klyntauri. Red Hulk is later converted into a mindless cyborg and member of Thanos's New Black Order.
===Joint ideas===
* TBD
