== Summary ==
The Hulk is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962).
Throughout his comic book appearances, the Hulk is portrayed as a large green humanoid that possesses immense superhuman strength and great invulnerability, attributes that grow more potent the angrier he becomes. Hulk is the alter ego of Bruce Banner, a socially withdrawn and emotionally reserved physicist who physically transforms into the Hulk under emotional stress and other specific circumstances at will or against it; these involuntary transformations lead to many complications in Banner's life. When transformed, the Hulk often acts as a disassociated personality separate from Banner.
Over the decades of Hulk stories, the Hulk has been represented with several personalities based on Hulk and Banner's fractured psyche, ranging from mindless savage to brilliant warrior, and Banner has taken control of the Hulk's form on occasion. Banner first transforms into the Hulk after being caught in the blast of the gamma bomb he invented while saving Rick Jones, a youth who had wandered onto the testing range.

Standard Equipment: None notable 
*Optional Equipment: Various BannerTech devices, self-constructed Gamma Island weaponry and other devices
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (He is one of the most brilliant scientists on the Marvel Earth, rivalling the likes of Tony Stark. Banner is also recognized as the premier expert on radiation. Claimed to be one of the eight smartest people on Earth. Doctor Doom has stated that Banner is superior to him in some fields. When in an intelligent state of mind, the Hulk is proficient in martial arts, due to training from Iron Fist) | Below Average (Not very bright but capable of being surprisingly clever battle tactics) | Average (He was a capable mob enforcer) | At least Average (He learned how to control his rage with the help of Hiroim, and had some experience as a leader) | At least Above Average (He holds the ability to analyze situations and reach conclusions and solutions successfully using "unreason and magical thinking")
Standard Tactics: Despite his primal exterior, Dr. Banner is still able to control Hulk's actions to some extent, as such Hulk will not kill his opponents or use excessive force if he doesn't require it. 
*As stated by Iron Man, he can change his power beneath his punches.
*As stated by Amadeus Cho, Hulk only ever attempts to grievously injure people under extreme circumstances 
**Cho later uses this theory himself to control Hulk's power.
**This is actually supported a few other times.
*Hulk can easily kill his rogues' gallery if he chooses to, but doesn't.
*Banner controls the Hulk to some extent, implying the morally idealistic Banner would actively try to hold back his attacks in order to not murder his opponents. 
**.
*.
*Subconsciously his strength while being inside a building, in order to not hurt the people that were in there.
*Held back during his fight with Deadpool.Deadpool Volume 4, #38
Weaknesses: If he is not sufficiently enraged, he transforms back to Bruce Banner, with only base human stats (although he has shown the ability to maintain the transformation in varying emotional states), and can be knocked out depending on the circumstances. In his Grey and Immortal Hulk incarnations, he reverts to human form when exposed to bright day sunlight. His powers are heavily tied to his psyche, and as such are subject to change. For example, made it so that he decreased in power with anger for some time. His powers also at one point became only usable at night due to his subconscious fear of exposure and the judgment of others. As Devil Hulk, he prevents himself from getting too enraged to not lose control, becoming the Childlike Hulk if he gets too angry as a safety mechanism, which decreases his strength. He is repelled by holy objects related to the The One Above All.
Feats: 
*Worldbreaker Hulk destroyed a planet in his clash with Red She-Hulk.
* Hulkbuster Iron Man
* The Thing
Notable Attacks and Techniques: 
*Thunderclap: A term used to refer to a large shock wave created by a character with sufficient, superhuman strength violently clapping their hands together. These attacks can be incredibly destructive and lethal, sometimes equaling nuclear bombs or hurricanes.
*Reactive Powers: The Hulk’s Powers, while often thought of as physical, are actually primarily psychological in nature. Those mutated by the Gamma Radiation used in the Gamma Bomb have their innermost desires and psychological status manifested as mutations. As such, the Hulk’s powers are in actuality malleable. For example, as his rage increases, not only does the Hulk increase in power, but becomes more resilient, shaking off attacks and powers that previously overwhelmed him and surviving things he could not before. However, due to Banner’s and psychological trauma, this can also manifest as and split forms, giving each mental aspect, subconscious fear, and psychological compulsion some level of tangible repercussions on the Hulk.
