as for common hulk, i think he's great for 165, especially with the indom. though i still think the dial shouldn't peak so soon.
there are three things it needs to be the "definitive hulk:"

1)it should keep getting better until the very last click like ic060
2)it should have defenders TA (always more of a defender than avenger but should have both keywords
3)it should peak with a printed damage value of 6 like ul095

that being said, i look forward to owning this piece as my new go-to hulk and look forward to seeing the ff and gf dials

Why is Hulk's Toughness called "Automatic Fire"? lol

Unless I'm missing something, with that SR Hulk, it seems like Bruce Banner could be a very good piece of Mastermind fodder, although somewhat situational. Let him get knocked down a bit, turn him into the Outback Hulk, and enjoy relative invincibility. If nothing else, he'll be good friends with the FF Starter Dr. Doom on scientist teams.

His defense names are based on the damage he can withstand before taking damage. In this it is automatic guns.

i really like these Hulks. However we do need a 260-350 point World Breaker. One that can actually take a 300-400 point team

Oh! Wait!

Dr. Doom - 200
Bruce Banner - 55
Researcher x 3 - 45
=300 points.

Taken from Hulk #143-144, where Doom gives Banner sanctuary and gets him to make a gamma bomb (see how nicely this all fits together!).
Oh hell... now I need 1 more researcher...

forgot to mention the common's attack SP:

:knockedou:knockedou:knockedou:knockedou:knockedou:knockedou:knockedou


the SR's defense SP is glorious! perfect final click power and if it were on more than one click, it'd be broken. as is, great design! love the 0 DV :P

That SR's last click could be broken.... play him with a couple Nurses, maybe...?

If you AE to it, you can't heal from that click.

You'd be better to play him with someone with Defend.

Not even talking about AE, just in general. If he lands there, he's the easiest beatstick medic target since IC Firelord.

I don't get all the complaining about these dials. Bruce Banner's dial isn't all that great on it's own if you just want to play it for the AE mechanic, but the special power is amazing when teamed with an energy exploder. My only question is when using a multiple target EE, do you only get the +1 once per figure, or do you do 2 per hit and splash 2 as well? I'm guessing it's just +1 once, which is still fantastic.
Also, the common Hulk's dial is really, really good for the points. Indomitable, tons of damage reducers, and his damage output is consistently very high with permanent Super Strength. Even his defense values are good through the dial, and the defense SP is going to be extremely helpful against swarms and cheap Outwtitters. My only real complaint is the toughness on his "activation click", as it leaves him a little more vulnerable to a first strike than I'd like, but honestly, I'd play this piece at 200 points and be happy with it.

hulk 001 needs some purple pants, come on, Bruce banner has them on, and the picture on the card shows hulk in the purple pants, its pretty much a trade mark, hope this is fixed before shipped lol, otherwise i will have to paint me some pants, and that might make me angry...

Am I the only one who's noticing that Brue Banner AE's to #43's last click?

That SP cannot be countered or ignored. The only way to improve your chances is with PC on your team. That is pretty harsh/sick.

That last click could wipe the entire opposing team by itself given enough time.

So, that last click on the SR, only a doubles roll on an attack roll can ko him, that means no pulse wave or mystics or any other nonsense, right?

Well, I can safely say I wasn't expecting House of M Hulk to get in. Was anybody?

And a better question, how was the Hulk/House of M crossover story?
