Having absorbed the powers of his own Dark Avengers and the Vision, Osborn is recklessly attacked by the Red Hulk, allowing him to transform into the Purple Hulk - a foe with vast musculature, the ability to control his own density, and the power to replicate any super-human foolish enough to strike him.
It has been a part of Marvel Comics since 1966. By accident, Happy gets injected with the blood of Hulk in What If...? Post getting injected with Hulk's blood, he transforms himself slowly taking the shape of Purple Hulk.
Originally, Stan Lee wanted the Hulk to be grey. Due to ink problems, Hulk's color was changed to green. This was later changed in the story to indicate that the Grey Hulk and the Savage Hulk are separate dissociative identities or entities fighting for control in Bruce's subconscious.
The Hulk is famous for being a green skinned monster who wears shredded purple pants and remains a movie Easter Egg (Bana's Hulk wears purple shorts, while Edward Norton tosses away the stretchy purple pants Betty Ross buys for him). From an artist's perspective, green and purple offer a nice contrast.
The big purple guy from Avengers: Infinity War is none other than Thanos, son of A'lars, and Sui-San. He is also known as the Mad Titan, and is burdened with glorious purposes!
The Red Hulk first appeared in Hulk vol. 3 #1 (January 2008), created by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness, but his identity as Ross was not revealed until later. The origin of Red Hulk was revealed in Hulk #23.
In the original depiction of the Hulk, Stan Lee wanted him to be gray. However, due to ink problems, the Hulk became green. To fix this issue, Gray Hulk was introduced as the original Hulk when Bruce Banner was first hit by the Gamma Bomb, but further uses irradiated him to a not-so-healthy green.
Due to the gamma radiation that birthed him, his skin is nearly indestructible and takes massive force to break. Throughout Hulk's many on-screen fights, he has only bled twice, and both circumstances prove it takes a unique set of variables to accomplish that.
Valerie David (playwright/performer) wrote her award-winning solo show The Pink Hulk as a cancer survivor to express the empowerment to find humor and superhero inner strength going through her three bouts: Valerie “hulked out” on cancer—Stage III Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1999 and then Stage II breast cancer in 2014/ ...
There is only one copy of the Incredible Hulk #1 graded NM 9.4 and it has never sold. If that issue ever surfaces for sale we might see the bidding go to $750,000 due to it's rarity!
After Hulk and the Warbound averted disaster, Skaar deemed Hulk wasn't worthy enough to kill and left. They eventually reconciled after Hulk realized that he had become his abusive father, and in seeing himself in his son, embraced him.
He resented the fact that Bruce Banner, a civilian, was appointed supervisor of the gamma bomb project. Moreover, the general had contempt for the scrawny, intellectual Banner for failing to live up to Ross's own vision of true manhood.
Unlike Hulk, Red Hulk retains his intelligence when transformed and possesses other handy abilities like energy absorption. However, anger is his true weakness. Whereas Hulk grows stronger the angrier he gets, rage causes Red Hulk's body to overheat with excess gamma radiation.
The main reason why the Jade Giant comes always comes out on top is because of his trademark ability of getting stronger the more he gets angry. As the saying goes: “The angrier Hulk gets, the STRONGER Hulk gets!”. The Hulk's strength grows as does his anger. Meanwhile, Red Hulk doesn't have that ability.
Due to this safeguard, the Professor is ultimately the weakest of the three primary Hulk incarnations despite being the physically largest. Professor Hulk has the attributes of three Hulks: Grey Hulk, Savage Hulk, and Banner.
In Captain Universe: Incredible Hulk, Bruce Banner was chosen as the new host of the Uni-Power. After taking on the incredible cosmic powers, he turned a new shade of blue and temporarily became one of the most powerful versions of the Hulk ever.
Thanos and Hulk have clashed several times in Marvel lore, with Thanos even admitting he was scared to face the Hulk before acquiring the Infinity Stones. While Thanos is usually the victor, it's generally down to him using superior tactics and technology, rather than simply possessing greater physical strength.
In What If...?, Happy is accidentally injected with Hulk blood that Justin Hammer and two goons attempted to steal. After being injected, he gradually transformed until he took full Purple Hulk shape.
