Fun Incredible Hulk Facts

I have a long metro ride ahead of me so I decided to try and write as many facts about the Incredible Hulk comics and cartoons. I haven't seen the movie so I can't say much about those.
1. The Incredible Hulk was originally grey. I am not talking about Mr. Fixit. In the first issue of The Incredible Hulk, Stan Lee decided that he would be grey. The Hulk's color switched to green because of coloring issues.
2. Bruce Banner was named after his grandfather. His dad hated his his grandfather and hated the idea of having a child. The idea to call his unwanted son the same name as his father is hilarious.
3. There are tons of random Hulk types. I mean you have like three different She-Hulks, two Grey Hulks, bunch of random hulk type green villains and more.
4. Bruce's dad believed that his family was cursed by a monster gene. Isn't it fitting that his son would eventually become a monster himself.
5. The Hulk had three illegitimate children. His daughter Lyra was created by a 'She-Hulk.' By created, I imply that the Hulk never impregnated the woman (neither did Bruce.) The woman actually stole the Hulk's DNA and fertilised her womb. What a weirdo.
6. I'm getting motion sickness so I'm gonna see if I can save a draft.

Favorite Fantastic Four Characters


I'd like to remind you all that this is essentially what I do on the bus. If I don't remember something or not sure of a fact, I won't look it up. I will most likely still assert it or invent something up.

Between that elastic dude, the Thing, Johnny flame boy and the Invisible Woman, Johnny has got to be my favorite Fantastic Four character. Why? I liked his name when I was a kid. I now know better but my inner child still thinks he is awesome. Either way, would you choose looking ugly, being stretchy or having the power to witness real life fanservices over being able to fly and shoot fire without burning your clothes. Unless you are an otaku, I doubt it. It doesn't help that Johnny is also cool and a boy. I think that last sentence might be sexist but comics in general are sexist and racist. Hooray for the white patriarchy...

I'm not even half way home and I'm already done. I guess I can talk about the only Fantastic Four villain that comes to my mind, Dr. Doom. He might be a Spider-Man or Iron Man villain but I'll assume he isn't. Does that make him my favorite Fantastic Four villain? I guess it does. I like him because he wears a green cape and has a metal mask. He should have replaced Leonardo DiCaprio in that horrible Man in the Iron Mask movie. I haven't seen the Fantastic Four movies so I can't comment. I doubt Dr. Doom  is in them because I heard they sucked.

If the Silver Surfer didn't have his own comic and animated series, he would probably be another of my favorite Fantastic Four characters. I mean he surfs in space and I can't even surf on a regular wave. Actually, I have never tried. I can't honestly say I can't surf yet. I do know I will never surf like the Silver Surfer though.

Anyways, this is my stop.
