During the experimental detonation of a gamma bomb, scientist Robert Bruce Banner saves teenager Rick Jones who has driven onto the testing field; Banner pushes Jones into a trench to save him, but is hit with the blast, absorbing massive amounts of gamma radiation.
He awakens later seemingly unscathed, but that night transforms into a lumbering grey form. A pursuing soldier dubs the creature a "hulk". Originally, it was believed that Banner's transformations into the Hulk were caused by sunset and undone at sunrise, but later, after Rick witnessed Banner turn into Hulk at daytime following a failed attempt by Ross' men to shoot the Hulk into space, it was discovered to be caused by anger. Banner was cured, but chose to restore Hulk's powers with Banner's intelligence.
The gamma-ray machine needed to affect the transformation-induced side effects that made Banner temporarily sick and weak when returned to his normal state.
In September 1963, the Hulk became a founding member of the the Avengers, who would go on to become the premiere superhero team in the Marvel universe.
Soon, however, overuse of the gamma-ray machine rendered the Hulk as an uncontrollable, rampaging monster, subject to spontaneous changing.
In September 1964 the Hulk appeared as an antagonist for Giant-Man. It was established that stress was the trigger for Banner turning into the Hulk and vice versa.
It was during this time that the Hulk developed a more savage and childlike identity, shifting away from his original portrayal as a brutish but not entirely unintelligent figure.
Also, his memory, both long-term and short-term, would now become markedly impaired in his Hulk state. Tales to Astonish #64 (February 1965) was the last Hulk story to feature him speaking in complete sentences. In Tales to Astonish #77 (March 1966), Banner's and the Hulk's dual identity became publicly known when Rick Jones, mistakenly convinced that Banner was dead (when he actually had been catapulted into the future), told Major Glenn Talbot, a rival to Banner for the affections of Betsy Ross, the truth.
Consequently, Glenn informed his superiors and that turned Banner into a wanted fugitive upon returning to the present.
The 1970s saw Banner and Betty nearly marry in The Incredible Hulk #124 (February 1970). Betty ultimately married Talbot in issue #158 (Dec. 1972). The Hulk also traveled to other dimensions, one of which had him meet empress Jarella, who used magic to bring Banner's intelligence to the Hulk, and came to love him. The Hulk helped to form the Defenders.
In the 1980s, Banner once again gained control over the Hulk, and gained amnesty for his past rampages; however, due to the manipulations of supernatural character Nightmare, Banner eventually lost control over the Hulk.
It was also established that Banner had serious mental problems even before he became the Hulk, having suffered childhood traumas that engendered Bruce's repressed rage.
Banner comes to terms with his issues for a time, and the Hulk and Banner were physically separated by Doc Samson.
Banner is recruited by the U.S. government to create the Hulkbusters, a government team dedicated to catching the Hulk. Banner finally married Betty in The Incredible Hulk #319 (May 1986) following Talbot's death in 1981.
Banner and the Hulk were reunited in The Incredible Hulk #323 (Sep. 1986) and with issue #324, returned the Hulk to his grey coloration, with his transformations once again occurring at night, regardless of Banner's emotional state.
In issue #347 the grey Hulk persona "Joe Fixit" was introduced, a morally ambiguous Las Vegas enforcer and tough guy. Banner remained repressed in the Hulk's mind for months, but slowly began to reappear.
The 1990s saw the Green Hulk return. In issue #377 (Jan. 1991), the Hulk was revamped in a storyline that saw the various dissociative identities of Banner, Fixit, and Savage confront Banner's past abuse at the hands of his father Brian and a new "Guilt" identity.
Overcoming the trauma, the intelligent Banner, cunning Fixit, and powerful Savage identities merge into a new single entity possessing the traits of all three.
The Hulk also joined the Pantheon, a secretive organization of superpowered individuals. His tenure with the organization brought the Hulk into conflict with a tyrannical alternate future version of himself called the Maestro in the 1993 Future Imperfect miniseries, who rules over a world where many heroes are dead.
In 2000, Banner and the three Hulks (Savage, Fixit, and the "Merged Hulk", now considered a separate identity and referred to as the Professor) become able to mentally interact with one another, each identity taking over the shared body as Banner began to weaken due to his suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease.
During this, the four identities (including Banner) confronted yet another submerged identity, a sadistic "Devil" intent on attacking the world and attempting to break out of Banner's fracturing psyche, but the Devil was eventually locked away again when the Leader was able to devise a cure for the disease using genes taken from the corpse of Brian Banner.
In 2005, it is revealed that the Nightmare has manipulated the Hulk for years, and it is implied that some or all of the Hulk's adventures written by Bruce Jones may have been just an illusion.
In 2006, the Illuminati decide the Hulk is too dangerous to remain on Earth and send him away by rocket ship which crashes on Planet Sakaar ushering in the "Planet Hulk" storyline that saw the Hulk find allies in the Warbound, and marry alien queen Caiera, a relationship that was later revealed to have born him two sons: Skaar and Hiro-Kala.
After the Illuminati's ship explodes and kills Caiera, the Hulk returns to Earth with his superhero group Warbound and declares war on the planet in World War Hulk (2007).
However, after learning that Miek, one of the Warbound, had actually been responsible for the destruction, the Hulk allows himself to be defeated, with Banner subsequently redeeming himself as a hero as he works with and against the new Red Hulk to defeat the new supervillain team the Intelligencia.
In the 2010s, Hiro-Kala traveled to Earth to destroy the OldStrong Power wielded by Skaar, forcing Skaar and the Hulk to defeat and imprison him within his home planet.
During the 2011 Fear Itself storyline, the Hulk finds one of the Serpent's magical hammers associated with the Worthy and becomes Nul: Breaker of Worlds. As he starts to transform, the Hulk tells the Red She-Hulk to run far away from him.
Rampaging through South and Central America, Nul was eventually transported to New York City where he began battling Thor, with aid of the Thing, who was transformed into Angrir: Breaker of Souls.
After defeating the Thing, Thor stated that he never could beat the Hulk, and instead removed him from the battle by launching him into Earth orbit, after which Thor collapsed from exhaustion.
Landing in Romania, Nul immediately began heading for the base of the vampire-king Dracula. Opposed by Dracula's forces, including a legion of monsters, Nul was seemingly unstoppable.
Only after the intervention of Raizo Kodo's Forgiven was Nul briefly slowed. Ultimately, Nul makes his way to Dracula's castle where the timely arrival of Kodo and Forgiven member Inka, disguised as Betty Ross, is able to throw off the effects of the Nul possession. Throwing aside the hammer, the Hulk regains control, and promptly leaves upon realizing "Betty's" true nature.
With the crisis concluded, the Hulk contacted Doctor Doom for help separating him and Banner for good in return for an unspecified favor. Doom proceeded to perform brain surgery on the Hulk, extracting the uniquely Banner elements from the Hulk's brain and cloning a new body for Banner.
When Doctor Doom demands to keep Banner for his own purposes, the Hulk reneges on the deal and flees with Banner's body, leaving his alter ego in the desert where he was created to ensure that Doctor Doom cannot use Banner's intellect.
When Banner goes insane due to his separation from the Hulk, irradiating an entire tropical island trying to recreate his transformation- something he cannot do as the cloned body lacks the genetic elements of Banner that allowed him to process the gamma radiation- the Hulk is forced to destroy his other side by letting him be disintegrated by a gamma bomb, prompting the Hulk to accuse Doom of tampering with Banner's mind, only for Doom to observe that what was witnessed was simply Banner without the Hulk to use as a scapegoat for his problems.
Initially assuming that Banner is dead, the Hulk soon realizes that Banner was somehow "re-combined" with him when the gamma bomb disintegrated Banner's body, resulting in the Hulk finding himself waking up in various strange locations, including helping the Punisher confront a drug cartel run by a mutated dog, hunting sasquatches with Kraven the Hunter, and being forced to face Wolverine and the Thing in an old SHIELD base.
Banner eventually leaves a video message for the Hulk in which he apologizes for his actions while they were separate, having come to recognize that he is a better person with the Hulk than without, the two joining forces to thwart the Doombots' attempt to use the animals on Banner's irradiated island as the basis for a new gamma army using a one-of-a-kind gamma cure Banner had created to turn all the animals back to normal.
Following this, Bruce willingly joined the spy organization S.H.I.E.L.D., allowing them to use the Hulk as a weapon in exchange for providing him with the means and funding to create a lasting legacy for himself.
After the Hulk had suffered brain damage upon being shot in the head by the Order of the Shield- the assassin having been carefully trained to target Bruce at just the right part of the brain to incapacitate him without triggering a transformation- Iron Man used the Extremis to cure the Hulk.
This procedure also increased Banner's mental capacity, which gave him the intelligence to tweak the Extremis virus within him and unleash a new persona for the Hulk: the super-intelligent Doc Green.
During the 2014 "Original Sin" storyline, Bruce Banner confronted by the eye of the murdered Uatu the Watcher. Bruce temporarily experienced some of Tony Stark's memories of their first meeting before either of them became the Hulk or Iron Man. During this vision, Bruce witnessed Tony modifying the gamma bomb to be more effective prompting Bruce to realize that Tony was essentially responsible for him becoming the Hulk in the first place.
Subsequent research reveals that Tony's tampering had actually refined the bomb's explosive potential so that it would not disintegrate everyone within the blast radius, with the result that Tony's actions had actually saved Bruce's life.
In the 2014 "AXIS" storyline, when a mistake made by the Scarlet Witch causes various heroes and villains to experience a moral inversion, Bruce Banner attended a meeting between Nick Fury Jr. and Maria Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers who refused to turn over Red Skull.
Later when he sided with Edwin Jarvis and tried to prevent his teammates from executing the Red Skull, the Hulk was thrown aside by Luke Cage.
The Hulk's sorrow at his friends' betrayal awakened a new persona known as the bloodthirsty Kluh (described as the Hulk's Hulk, being the ruthless part of himself that even the Hulk repressed) with this new version easily defeating the Avengers, sneering that the Hulk they knew was nothing more than a "sad piece of 'Doc Green's' ID." Kluh then leaves to wreak havoc, with Nova attempting to stop him after witnessing his rampage with the remaining good heroes.
As with the other inverted Avengers and X-Men, Kluh was restored to Hulk when Brother Voodoo was summoned back to life by Doctor Doom so that Daniel Drumm's ghost can possess the Scarlet Witch and undo the inversion.
With his newfound intellect, Doc Green came to the conclusion that the world was in danger by Gamma Mutates and thus needed to be depowered. He developed a serum made from Adamantium nanobites that absorbed gamma energy.
He used these to depower Red Leader, Red She-Hulk, Red Hulk, Skaar, Gamma Corps, and A-Bomb, but decided to 'spare' She-Hulk as he concluded that she was the one gamma mutation whose life had been legitimately improved by her mutation. At the close of the storyline, Doc Green discovered that he was beginning to disappear as the result of the Extremis serum wearing off. He ultimately allowed himself to fade away, returning to his normal Hulk form, as he feared that remaining at his current intellectual level would lead to him becoming the Maestro.
During the 2015 "Secret Wars" storyline, the Hulk took part in the incursion between Earth-616 and Earth-1610. The Hulk used the "Fastball Special" with Colossus to destroy the Triskelion.
As part of the 2015–2018 All-New, All-Different Marvel branding, Amadeus Cho becomes the new Hulk. Flashbacks reveal that the Hulk had absorbed a dangerous new type of radiation while helping Iron Man and the Black Panther deal with a massive accident on Kiber Island. Fearing the Hulk's meltdown would kill countless innocents, Cho was able to use special nanites to absorb the Hulk from Banner and take it into himself to become his own version of the Hulk, leaving Banner normal and free from the Hulk.
He is then rescued from a bar fight by Amadeus, who tells him that he is cured. Having confirmed that he can no longer transform or sense the Hulk, Bruce spends some time traveling across America taking various risks such as driving at high speeds, running away from a bear, or gambling in Las Vegas, until he is confronted by Tony Stark out of concern that Bruce has a death wish. Bruce instead acknowledges that he still harbors guilt and rage over how so many of the Hulk's rampages were provoked by various agencies refusing to leave him alone.
During the 2016 "Civil War II" storyline, the vision of the Inhuman Ulysses shows a rampaging Hulk standing over the corpses of the superheroes. Meanwhile, Bruce Banner is shown to have set up a laboratory in Alpine, Utah, where he is approached by Captain Marvel, followed by Tony Stark, the rest of the Avengers, the X-Men, and the Inhumans.
The confrontation leads to the Beast hacking into Banner's work servers and the revelation that he had been injecting himself with dead gamma-irradiated cells. S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Maria Hill places him under arrest. Banner gets infuriated at all these events, when suddenly, Hawkeye shoots Banner with an arrow to the head and then to the heart, apparently killing him, much to the dismay and horror of the superheroes, especially Tony Stark.
At an Avengers-presided tribunal, Hawkeye states that Bruce Banner had approached him and ordered him to kill him if he ever showed signs of turning into the Hulk again. At the funeral, Korg of the Warbound stated how Hulk wanted to be left alone and how his allies that he made along the way have become his family. In his video will, Bruce leaves various items to other heroes and his allies including leaving Doctor Strange his notes on the Hulk's ability to perceive ghosts and an egg-timer for the various former/current other Hulks (based on one of Bruce's more successful attempts to control himself as he would sit down for three minutes doing nothing before making a particularly big decision and then decide if he still wanted to do it).
Following the funeral of Bruce Banner, the Hand in allegiance with Daniel Drumm's ghost steal Bruce Banner's body in order to use the dead to bolster their ranks. When the reassembled Uncanny Avengers went to Japan and attempted to enlist Elektra for help in stopping the Hand, the ritual that the Hand performed has been completed as the Uncanny Avengers are attacked by a revived Hulk who is wearing samurai armor.
The Uncanny Avengers were able to contain Hulk's rampage and sever his mystical link to the Beast of the Hand. Afterward, Hulk regressed back to Bruce Banner and returned to the dead.[93]
During the 2017 "Secret Empire" storyline, Arnim Zola used an unknown method to temporarily revive Bruce Banner, and the Hydra Supreme version of Captain America persuades his Hulk side to attack the Underground's hideout called the Vault. He fought Thing and Giant-Man's A.I.Vengers until the temporary revival started to wear off and caused Hulk to die again.
During the "No Surrender" arc, the exiled Elder of the Universe Challenger revives Hulk to be his ace in the hole during a contest between his Black Order and Grandmaster's Lethal Legion.
Hulk participated since he knew that Earth will be destroyed either way while his Bruce Banner suspects that Hulk's revivals were a manifestation of Hulk's immortality. While defeating Cannonball and Living Lightning, breaking Vision, and draining the gamma energy out of Robert Maverick's Hulk Plug-In, Wonder Man successfully reasoned with him as Hulk destroyed the Pyarmoid in Voyager's possession. After feeling remorse for what happened, Bruce Banner became Hulk and faced off against Challenger. After Challenger sent Hulk into Earth's orbit, Hulk was pleased that he managed to hurt Challenger.
While maintaining a low profile, Bruce Banner was shot by Tommy Hill of the Dogs of Hell biker gang during a robbery that also claimed the lives of Sandy Brockhurst and Josh Alfaro. He came back to life and turned into Hulk where he badly beat up Tommy Hill. The witnesses in the Dogs of Hell told Detective Gloria Mayes of the attacker as she and reporter Jackie McGee have a suspicion that it was Hulk even though Banner is believed to be dead.
During the events of "Absolute Carnage," the Venom Symbiote takes Bruce as its host to fight Carnage. Inside of Bruce's mind, Bruce converses with the Venom Symbiote as the other Hulk identities such as Joe Fixit and Savage add their opinions about their current situation.
Devil (in his more traditional-looking reptilian form) is against the symbiote's presence in Bruce and says it should be removed immediately, saying they have more important matters to deal with. In the end, Bruce, Fixit, and Savage agree to collaborate with the Venom Symbiote and Devil storms off, saying they are making a mistake. As Bruce states that the vote is three to one with two abstentions, he welcomes the Venom symbiote to the family.
Powers and abilities
Bruce Banner
Considered to be one of the greatest scientific minds on Earth, Banner possesses "a mind so brilliant it cannot be measured on any known intelligence test."
Norman Osborn estimates that he is the fourth most-intelligent person on Earth. Banner holds expertise in biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine, physiology, and nuclear physics.
Using this knowledge, he creates advanced technology dubbed "Bannertech", which is on par with technological development from Tony Stark or Doctor Doom. Some of these technologies include a force field that can protect him from the attacks of Hulk-level entities, and a teleporter.
After becoming a fugitive from the law, Banner is forced to go on the run and over the years learns various skills in order to both survive and remain under radar of those who are hunting him.
Banner’s most frequent method of travel includes hitchhiking, train hopping or simply just walking as he is unable to travel legally via planes, passenger ships or buses due to being in several travel watchlists.
Banner is generally on the move and rarely ever stays in one place for very long and only does so if there’s a possibility of curing himself. He will only ever stay in one place for an extended period of time if it provides him with complete solitude and privacy where the Hulk can do little to no harm.
To avoid being tracked, Banner does not use cell phones, debit or credit cards and will only use payphone’s or cash. He will often use fake identities when staying at motels or working jobs that require identification.
Having been on the run for years, Banner can normally tell when he is being followed and will generally make a run for it when he is discovered. Having traveled across the globe, Banner is able to sneak over borders without being detected and can get by, by either knowing or learning the local language. Often traveling light, Banner has little to no possessions that he carries in either a satchel or backpack.
Often losing everything he owns after transforming into the Hulk, Banner avoids keeping anything of personal value to him so that he can easily replace the items and clothes that were lost or destroyed.
To support himself financially, Banner will work quick part time jobs and will only accept payments in cash. These jobs have varied from simply working in low pay diners to working as local doctor.
Banner’s work ethic as well as his vast knowledge and skillset in science, medicine and engineering often help him get hired rather quickly. Unless desperate, Banner will generally avoid jobs that are high stress due to the potential danger of transforming into the Hulk.
During his travels, Banner has developed several different techniques to help suppress or control his transformations when he becomes a little angry or upset.
Among the techniques he’s learned over the years include meditation and hypnotherapy. While they have helped him to better understand and suppress his transformations, none of techniques Banner has learned have helped him to gain full control over the Hulk.
The Hulk possesses the potential for seemingly limitless physical strength that is influenced by his emotional state, particularly his anger.
This has been reflected in the repeated comment "The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets." The cosmically powerful entity known as the Beyonder once analyzed the Hulk's physiology, and claimed that the Hulk's potential strength had "no finite element inside."
Hulk's strength has been depicted as sometimes limited by Banner's subconscious influence; when Jean Grey psionically "shut Banner off", Hulk became strong enough to overpower and destroy the physical form of the villain Onslaught.
Writer Greg Pak described the Worldbreaker Hulk shown during World War Hulk as having a level of physical power where "Hulk was stronger than any mortal—and most immortals—who ever walked the Earth" and depicted the character as powerful enough to completely destroy entire planets.
His strength allows him to leap into lower Earth orbit or across continents, and he has displayed superhuman speed.
Exposure to radiation has also been shown to make the Hulk stronger. It is unknown how he gains biomass during transformation but it may be linked to subatomic black matter.
His durability, regeneration, and endurance also increase in proportion to his temper. Hulk is resistant to injury or damage, though the degree to which varies between interpretations, but he has withstood the equivalent of solar temperatures, nuclear explosions, and planet-shattering impacts.
Despite his remarkable resiliency, continuous barrages of high-caliber gunfire can hinder his movement to some degree while he can be temporarily subdued by intense attacks with chemical weapons such as anesthetic gases, although any interruption of such dosages will allow him to quickly recover.
He has been shown to have both regenerative and adaptive healing abilities, including growing tissues to allow him to breathe underwater, surviving unprotected in space for extended periods, and when injured, healing from most wounds within seconds, including, on one occasion, the complete destruction of most of his body mass.
His future self, the "Maestro", was even eventually able to recover from being blown to pieces. As an effect, he has an extremely prolonged lifespan.
He also possesses less commonly described powers, including abilities allowing him to "home in" to his place of origin in New Mexico; resist psychic control, or unwilling transformation; grow stronger from radiation or dark magic; punch his way between separate temporal or spatial dimensions; and to see and interact with astral forms.
Some of these abilities were in later years explained as being related; his ability to home in on the New Mexico bomb site was due to his latent ability to sense astral forms and spirits, since the bomb site was also the place where the Maestro's skeleton was and the Maestro's spirit was calling out to him in order to absorb his radiation.
He is also shown to have a separate memory to Bruce Banner - when Spider-Man has the knowledge of his secret identity erased during Spider-Man: One More Day, the Hulk later asks how Peter is doing, not Spider-Man; upon questioning, he enigmatically states "Banner forgot. But I don't forget."

Dien Bien Phu Area, Hanoi, Vietnam.
In a back area (just outside the southern end of the Hanoi old quarter) of Dien Bien road, following the railway line (literally) along from Long Bien Bridge heading south, the railway starts to quickly meld with normal everyday life in suburbia. Many trains, mostly old diesel locomotives traverse this alley (bi-directionally) on a daily basis.
Meanwhile, locals continue on with their lives - some have shops, cafe's, fixit places - even a wine bar amongst it all - just fantastic.
This monochrome hopefully captures some of that ... It is a simple straightforward image, nothing intended to be fancy, shot in RAW with very little PP.
Many cities provide unique bicycle parking stalls. San Diego has several of this version tailored to the neighbourhood they are placed in. These ones in Hillcrest district are painted in the Rainbow Flag colours paying homage to the neighbourhood Gay and Lesbian businesses and residents.

Public bicycle tools added to Hillcrest bike corral.
By Dave Rice, November 9, 2012
The bicycle corral installed at the corner of 5th Avenue and University in Hillcrest this week added a perk for users of the dedicated parking area and the community in general, BikeSD.org reports.
The Uptown Community Parking District recently completed the installation of a Dero Fixit station, a public mini-workshop containing a bike stand and all of the tools needed for basic bike maintenance, which are tethered to the station using stainless steel cables. Listed retail on the complete outfit is $900, and BikeSD notes that another of the devices installed at a nearby Whole Foods location has been popular with the community.
Civic San Diego has announced plans to improve bicycle parking downtown, including the creation of several more bike corrals.

My name is Bruce Banner.
I'm a professor at the university in Boston and I just survived an explosion. I was in my office at the university just getting ready to leave, it was about 7 pm, the sun began to set. Just as I was about to leave the building I saw a green glow come from the class across the hall, I went over to see what it was. What I saw was a big gamma bomb sitting on a desk in the middle of the room, I walked over to it and looked at it, the closer I got the brighter the light became. Once I realized what it was I ran for the door, but it was too late. The bomb exploded, I felt like I was being ripped apart into different pieces, then everything went black.
=======================================
I woke lying on the floor of the classroom, the walls were mostly gone from the explosion and rubble covered the floor. I tried to pull myself up but I couldn't, my whole body felt weak.
"Ah, your awake." A familiar sounding voice said.
"Wha...who!?" I yell.
"Hello Mr. Banner, my name is Mr. Fixit, I am a Hulk."
"What the Hell is a Hulk?"
"We are a part of you, a different version of you, created by the gamma bomb."
"Wait, there's more of you?"
"Yes, but I'm the only one who decided to stay, see I'm the...most logical version of you, I relate to the scientific side of you."
"Okay...so where did the others go?"
"I do not know...but I can help you to find them. The Hulks must be brought back together."

There seems to be an additional design slot awarded to the very popular, which is your most popular design [this design is one of my most popular, and I have not seen this on others]. In my observation: if you don't have one that meets the criteria that 7th slot goes to some other designer.
Summarizing: the array is: three design slots dedicated to the chronologically earliest designs in your Collection; one slot for your popular design (if some criterion met); three (or four) slots for designs from other designers. The latter might be cued in on tag words - haven't examined yet.

This is Shion a friend of Jenny (by the Japanese brand Takara).
I don't remember exactly when I got her, it was about 10 years ago, maybe more. I had her ref. and info on my old computer, but I lost those when it crashed last year. I hope I can find them again somewhere on a storage device (how is that called again?) or I don't kwow...,some place.
I've always loved Jenny and her (many!) friends but oddly enough they rarely have camera time with me. But that will change...uh-huh.

Entry for my Iron Builder with Lego Junkie. The secret ingredient for this round is Curved 4 x 1 Double No Studs.
Red Hulk, Green Hulk, Gray Hulk, what’s the difference between them?
There are many other versions of the Hulk but these are the three that get most confused by casual Hulk observers. Well let us shed a little light on the confusion. Perhaps you can you this info at swanky upscale cocktail parties to impress the ladies. “Excuse me ladies… Did you know the Red Hulk isn’t actually a manifestation of Bruce Banner.” Then watch as they ogle over your massive knowledge of post gamma mutation human variants. It’s sexy.
Gray Hulk (aka Joe Fixit):
The Gray Hulk (not the accidentally gray one in the earliest comics, that was gray because the colorist messed up) worked for a time as a Las Vegas enforcer called “Joe Fixit”. The Gray Hulk has average intelligence, although he occasionally displays knowledge and intellectual ability normally associated with Banner. He is cunning, crafty, hedonistic, arrogant, and distant, with a hidden conscience.
In most of Las Vegas appearances, he appears only at night. According to the Leader, the Gray Hulk persona is strongest during the night of the new moon and weakest during the full moon. This aversion to sun/moon light vanished when the Gray Hulk’s night-induced transformation trigger was later removed.
Although he is the smallest of the Hulks, the Gray Hulk towers over the average human. He prefers to dress in tailored suits. Joe Fixit’s base strength level is also the lowest of the three primary Hulk incarnations. While in a functionally calm emotional state, Joe Fixit is able to lift about 70 tons.
Savage Green Hulk:
The most common version of the Hulk, possesses the mental capacity and temperament of a young child and typically refers to himself in the third person. He often claims that he wants to be left alone. The Savage Hulk is usually depicted as green-skinned and heavily-muscled with a loping, ape-like gait. While in a functionally calm emotional state, or at least as calm as the Hulk can be, the Savage Hulk is capable of lifting about 100 tons.
Red Hulk:
Is NOT Bruce Banner, It is General Thaddeus E. “Thunderbolt” Ross is a fictional character appearing in books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an adversary of the Hulk, sometimes as a supervillain. Ross is a United States military officer, the father of Betty Ross, ex-father in-law of Glenn Talbot and the father in-law of Dr. Bruce Banner, who transforms into an immensely powerful monster known as the Hulk.
A veteran of several wars, Ross was the military head of the Gamma Bomb Project although he treated the project’s research head, Banner, with contempt. When Banner is caught in a test blast of the weapon and acquired his Hulk condition, Ross personally volunteers to kill the monster and pursues him with a growing obsessiveness. As he is not initially aware of the truth of Banner’s condition, Ross merely suspects he is a compatriot of the beast. However, when he does learn the truth, Ross hunts Banner as well. In 2008, Ross first appeared as the Red Hulk, into which he had been transformed in order to better combat his nemesis.

My 6 random packs of Minifigures from the Looney Tunes CMF came a few days ago I got the Tasmanian Devil, Speedy Gonzales, Porky Pig, the Road Runner, Lola Bunny, & Daffy Duck. I'll be putting those parts to great use. I also recently started & finished watching Love Death + Robots, I thought it was a great show I can't wait for season 3. Anyways let's get to the figs...

Love, dedication, enthusiasm and a little bit of maddness sprinkled in I'd say...An assortment of ALIEN, ALIENS, ALIEN: ISOLATION and PROMETHEUS work currently in progress...The ALIEN series is getting close to completion while the other series including ALIEN 3 (not pictured) are gearing up for 2016. #alien #aliens #alien3 #prometheus #alienisolation #sculpting #customactionfigures #dioramas
My little friend, Robicheaux is always there when I do some of my fixit projects- like reglueing a dolphin fin, or repairing a broken glass pineapple! He is a master of reaching small places!
This is in reply to a challenge in the group Jules Photo Challenge group- we are doing a photo association shot, which relies upon the shot someone in the lineup posted before yours!
And good luck to Juan, who comes after me! :)
(And THANK YOU, Brian, for including elements I could work with!)
This is Shion a friend of Jenny (by the Japanese brand Takara).
I don't remember exactly when I got her, it was about 10 years ago, maybe more. I had her ref. and info on my old computer, but I lost those when it crashed last year. I hope I can find them again somewhere on a storage device (how is that called again?) or I don't kwow...,some place.
I've always loved Jenny and her (many!) friends but oddly enough they rarely have camera time with me. But that will change...uh-huh.

Walking around the neighborhood. Shooting what interests me.

I am not a Mustang Expert. I misidentified this 1967 Mustang as a 1968. Thank you to Jed Fixit for the correction.
There is an obvious difference in the Grille and the details (scoops?) on the side.
My neighbor has this beautiful 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback. Obviously a show car. He takes it out of his garage on Sunday. Drives it around the neighborhood. And then parks it back in the garage.

Sculpt progress on the Derelict Corridor - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Finished sculpting the detail to the corridor floor with some of the "unseen" detail being based off Giger's concept art from the film. The floor is elevated as seen in the film. Still need to add sculpted detail to the wall, top and sides. Working on casting additional bone structures for the opposite wall. Kane, Dallas and Lambert are sculpted figures all works in progress. I think on it's own, this panels makes a great display piece! More to come! #alien #derelict #hrgiger #corridor #diorama #lv426 #nostromo #dallaskanelambert #EVA #spacesuit #sculpture
Last night I drove Amadeus to Boston so we could meet up with Fixit and get away from Samuel.
Amadeus doesn’t know that the Hulks are part of me yet, but Fixit recommended that I introduce him today because he may be able to help us. From what I understand Mr. Fixit found the other two Hulks. They call themselves She-Hulk and Despair, I haven’t met them but they agreed to help us as well. I walk into the living room and find Amadeus still sleeping on the couch. I walk over and wake him up, because apparently whatever Fixit wants to do can’t wait.
“Hey, Cho wake up.”
“Uhhh…what? If you want me up I need coffee. It’s the only thing that kept me up to make all that stuff your buddy stole.”
“He’s not my buddy. Oh and I just went to get coffee.”
“Seriously?! Sweet!”
Cho jumps up off the couch and grabs the coffee out of my hand almost knocking me over. He then chugs down the whole thing, and throws the cup on the couch behind him.
“Okay I’m ready! What are we doing?”
==========================================================
Bruce drives Cho downtown, into an alley.
“Umm…why are we in an alley? Oh no! Your crazy like Sam aren’t you! Your gonna kill me!” Amadeus yells.
“I’m not crazy and I’m not going to kill you. We came here so no one can see what we’re doing.”
“So you are going to kill me!”
“No, we’re going into the sewers so I can--“
“Kill me!?”
“Okay, no more coffee for you. Just try and follow me.”
I pull out a crowbar and open up the sewer cover, I then climb down the ladder, followed by Cho. Once we’re at the bottom I pull out a flash light and follow the directions I got until we reach the service room. I pull open the door and inside is a green female Hulk, A big Blue Hulk and Fixit, sitting on a box wearing a white under shirt.
“Amadeus, these are the Hulks, She-Hulk, Despair and Mr. Fixit. They’re on our side.”
“Wait, what do you mean our side? Are you a Hulk to?”
“No, but theses Hulks came from me, there was a gamma explosion and somehow my personality was split into different beings.”
“So these things are what made Sam go crazy? I’m outta here!”
“No, wait, just let me explain. Well actually let Mr. Fixit explain.”
“We need to find the rest of the Hulks and bring them together, they’re all linked to Bruce mentally, but meditation hasn’t done much to find them. We need something that will send us right to the Hulks so they can be stopped.”
Fixit then stands up revealing that he lost his arm.
“We’re being hunted, and it’s not going to happen any longer.”
Cho stands in the doorway, Despair starts to cry and She-Hulk puts her hand on his back.
“Fixit, you lost your arm…”
“Sacrifices will be made, but the other hulks will be found. And remember what I said, call me Mister Fixit.” He says smirking.
I manage smile and bring Cho into the room and show him the supplies the Hulks managed to get. As they show him the scraps they found I step back out into the sewer in shock. They blew off his arm, I can almost see the explosion in my mind, it…it was a grenade, thrown by Ross. I think… I have Post Traumatic stress disorder, from an event I never experienced.
==========================================================
Meanwhile, at the Boston Hospital…
Captain Ross lays in a hospital bed, he has one broken leg, a broken arm and a broken wrist. Then, all of a sudden Betty Ross storms into the room and runs over to her Father.
“Dad! I came as soon as I heard! What happened to you!?”
“What the hell do you think? I found the radiation freaks, and they almost killed me.”
“Dad I’m trying to help you, don’t be like that.”
“I’ll be however the hell I want, I’ve had enough of those monsters. I have to put an end to them.”
“Well you won’t be able to do anything like this. You just need to rest.”
“Well that’s what I was doing before you came. Look, if you want to help get me a nurse or something. I’m hungry.”
“Not until you calm down.”
“Don’t make me yell Betty, I love you but if you want to help me you just need to get me a nurse and go.”
Betty then turns around and walks out of the room, leaving her Father to plan against the Hulks.
