No, I figured this out before I ever changed. But now I really get it. Hulk is every part of yourself you don't let out. The ugly truth any decent human tries to hide. I'm a soldier. Was. My whole career was about acknowledging that side and letting it do what only it could. To survive. To kill.

Conversations with Thaddeus Ross (Earth-616)Edit

Spider-Man

Someone yell for some Kool-Aid?

Red Hulk

What the hell are you talking about?

Spider-Man

I'm just amusing myself. Don't worry about it.

— Avenging Spider-Man #1

Zero/One

That woman resembles your daughter.

Red Hulk

Karen, my commander's daughter, years later. And then...my wife. Karen came with me to every post until Betty was born. Then I pulled every string I could to get assigned to the nearest base so we could come back here to live.

Zero/One

Twelve years later she develops cancer and dies. This is the next key focal point, I found nothing consequential between it and the last.

Red Hulk

All the time you skipped past...that was the best part.

— Hulk Vol 2 #41

Machine Man

He's used the Rigellian resources to manipulate hydrogen -- create a new water supply and terraform the desert. It harnesses geothermal power to run the city and protect it with the impassable dome. I only cannot see why the Rigellian program wasn't successful at imprinting its protocol in his brain.

Red Hulk

Really? That's the easiest thing to figure. The alien program never had a chance. It was made to work with a bunch of clean slates, not a warrior who's gone through hell for years to stay alive. The kinds of things a man has to do to become...to keep his people alive in the desert, even without always being hunted? You're not going to change that man's mind. Ever.

Sultan Magus

Coff -- you made a dire mistake...Dagan Shah will --

Red Hulk

-- will kiss my red butt.

General Reggie Fortean

Let him go, Red! ... The Arab League came to an agreement earlier. They recognize new borders as defined by the man you're holding. He's agreed to stop trading arms, and a majority of the member nations accepted. Sharzhad is now a legitimate country, and you're on their ground.

Sultan Magus

Then I declare you...in violation of our border. You have two minutes to leave.
