Editing Hulk (section)

== Other versions ==
A number of [[parallel universe (fiction)|alternate universe]]s and alternate timelines in Marvel Comics publications allow writers to introduce variations on the Hulk, in which the character's origins, behavior, and morality differ from the mainstream setting.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harn |first=Darby |date=2021-07-10 |title=Marvel: 15 Strongest Versions Of The Hulk |url=https://screenrant.com/marvel-most-powerful-versions-hulk/ |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=ScreenRant |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=2014-07-23 |title=What Changes Are Coming to Marvel's Hulk Comic? |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/23/what-changes-are-coming-to-marvels-hulk-comic |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=IGN |language=en}}</ref> In some stories, someone other than Bruce Banner is the Hulk.

In some versions, the Hulk succumbs to the darker side of his nature: in "Future Imperfect" (December 1992), a future version of the Hulk has become the [[Maestro (comics)|Maestro]], the tyrannical and ruthless ruler of a nuclear war-irradiated Earth,<ref name="AltMaestro"/> and in "[[Old Man Logan]]" (2008), an insane Hulk rules over a post-apocalyptic California and leads a gang of his inbred Hulk children created with his first cousin She-Hulk.<ref name="AltOML"/><ref name="AltOML2"/>

===Age of Apocalypse===
In the [[Age of Apocalypse]] alternative setting, Bruce Banner was never exposed to gamma radiation. Therefore, he did not become the Hulk. Instead he became a member of the Human High Council, where he was a scientist and became a weapons designer. However he also yearns to gain knowledge and power, something Apocalypse was willing to help with, and so Bruce sold himself to [[Mikhail Rasputin]], one of the [[Horsemen of Apocalypse]], to give him mutants as test subjects. He succeeds in his experiments and can now transform into a creature resembling the Grey Hulk. He was used as a mole in the council, but was discovered by [[Invisible Woman#Age of Apocalypse|Susan Storm]] and [[Thing (comics)#Age of Apocalypse|Ben Grimm]] because the patterns of Bruce's injuries were identical to those sustained by the Hulk.<ref>''X-Universe'' #1-2</ref>

Later, Banner attempted to redeem himself by jumping out of the Human High Council ship in an effort to prevent it from getting struck by a gamma missile of his own creation. The missile detonated, allowing the Human High Council to escape [[Earth]]. He fell back to Earth, landed in the Colosseum, and emerged as the Green Hulk. There were no further mentions of the Hulk in the Age of Apocalypse material.<ref>''Hulk: Broken Worlds Book 2''</ref>

===Age of X===
In the "[[Age of X]]" reality, Bruce Banner was a scientist who was under contract from the United States government to build a device that would depower any mutant. However, during the testing phase one of the mutant volunteers began to panic. Her powers caused the machine to go off prematurely while still in the gamma spectrum. The mutants were killed and Banner was bombarded by gamma radiation. The combination of the radiation and the fact that some of the mutants' genes were imprinted on him as well, caused Banner to transform into the Hulk. Because of his exposure to mutant genes, Banner holds a deep murderous resentment for all mutants to the point that he volunteered for a suicide mission to detonate a chemical bomb that would destroy the entire mutant stronghold, forcing his former teammates to sacrifice their lives to detonate the bomb early. He was incinerated by his own bomb when one of his former teammates named Redback (this reality's [[Spider-Woman]]) uses Steel Corpse's (this reality's [[Iron Man]]) severed glove to destroy the bomb.<ref>''Age of X: Universe'' #1</ref>

===Amalgam Comics===
'''The Skulk''' is a hero of the [[Amalgam Comics|Amalgam]] Universe. He is amalgamation of the Hulk and [[DC Comics]]' [[Solomon Grundy (character)|Solomon Grundy]].

Bruce Banner was a scientist working with gamma rays. He was testing his gamma bomb out in the desert, but a tall figure walked out into the testing area. When Banner went out to see who it was, the man turned out to be Solomon Grundy. The bomb went off fusing Grundy and Banner together. When Banner gets angry he becomes Grundy, but the creature made a name for itself, calling itself Skulk.<ref>''Doctor Strangefate'' #1 (April 1996)</ref>

===Breaker-Apart===
In a potential future, the One Below All is able to destroy Bruce Banner's soul and possesses the body of the Hulk. After which, it went on to kill Franklin Richards, Galactus, Mister Immortal, and many others until it was the only being left in the universe. Taking on Bruce's appearance, the One Below All encounters the Sentience of the Eighth Cosmos/Metatron and is able to trick and devour him, absorbing his powers. In the newly formed Ninth Cosmos, the One Below All used its newly acquired powers to transform Hulk into a Galactus-like being named the 'Breaker-Apart'. 10 billion years later, the Breaker-Apart has destroyed all light, all life, and all planets in the Multiverse. When Par%l tried to make contact and reason with it, the alien instead meets the abstract form of the One Below All which told hir it wanted to "Make all hollow as I, dark and dead as I" and killed Par%l and hir's planet, O%los.<ref>''Immortal Hulk'' #25 (October 23, 2019)</ref>

===Bullet Points===
In the ''[[Bullet Points (comic)|Bullet Points]]'' [[Limited series (comics)|mini-series]], [[Spider-Man|Peter Parker]] finds himself on the test site for a Gamma bomb and absorbs a large dose of gamma radiation, becoming the Hulk. In a further twist, later in the series, in an attempt to find a cure for Peter, Dr. Bruce Banner examines specimens taken from the test site and is bitten by a radioactive spider, becoming Spider-Man.<ref>''Bullet Points'' #4 (April 2007)</ref> Parker is killed by [[Galactus]] and Banner is killed by an Inheritor during the ''[[Spider-Verse]]'' event.

===Deadpool: Samurai (Earth-346)===

In the ''Deadpool: Samurai'' manga series, which takes place on Earth-346,<ref>Edge of Spider-Verse (Vol. 2) #3</ref> Bruce Banner removes a control collar from the singer Neiro Aratabi, who had been saved from a deranged fan by Deadpool. Banner then attempts to transform into the Hulk to help Deadpool stop HYDRA agents from retrieving the Gateway Controller, which had been hidden under the Tokyo Dome, but he was knocked unconscious by a piece of falling debris before he could finish his transformation.<ref>{{cite book |last=Kasama|first=Sanshiro|author-link= |date=March 31, 2022|title=Deadpool Samurai Volume One |url= |location=San Francisco|publisher=Viz Media |page= |isbn=978-1974725311}}</ref> Banner did gradually regain consciousness and he then completed transforming into the Hulk, but he was quickly defeated by Thanos, who had been summoned by the Hydra agents.<ref>{{cite book |last=Kasama|first=Sanshiro|author-link= |date=August 4, 2022|title=Deadpool Samurai Volume Two |url= |location=San Francisco|publisher=Viz Media |page= |isbn=978-1974732203}}</ref>

===Earth X===
The [[Earth X]] series featured a vastly different take on the character, one in which the Hulk and Bruce Banner have finally achieved separation. However, they still rely on each other with Banner becoming a blind child who sees through the Hulk's eyes. In an interview in ''Comicology Volume I: The Kingdom Come Companion'', [[Alex Ross]] said that the design of Earth-X Banner and Hulk was based on the appearance of [[Moon-Boy]] and [[Devil Dinosaur]].{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}}

===Exiles===
Numerous alternate versions of the Hulk have been present in the ''[[Exiles (Marvel Comics)|Exiles]]'' series.

* A crazy version of the Hulk was seen attacking Canada. He was stopped by the Exiles and Alpha Flight. This battle featured the first appearance of the rogue reality jumpers known as Weapon X. The crazy Hulk was presumed dead after this encounter.<ref>''Exiles'' Vol 1 #5-6 (2001).</ref>
* Another visually different Hulk appeared in this universe. This version had a long ponytail and wore a "Peace Out" costume, but he still retained his gamma-irradiated appearance, strength and his famous smashing abilities. He teamed up with an evil Firestar and was recruited by the Timebroker to stop an evil Hyperion.<ref>''Exiles'' #40 (2004).</ref> The plan succeeded and they both joined Weapon X. When Hyperion had gone even crazier than before, Hulk attacked and Weapon X began to fight with each other. This version of The Hulk was killed when Hyperion brutally fought him until he was in a weakened state, Hyperion then used his heat vision on The Hulk, melting and destroying him.<ref>''Exiles'' #43-44 (2004).</ref> His body is sent back to his reality, where his funeral is held. Some time after Hulk's death, Firestar committed suicide when she incinerates herself and a teammate.
* A conqueror version of the Hulk, in his gladiator outfit, killed Annihilus, most of the superhumans, took full control of the Annihilation Wave, and decimated Earth. He has been apparently knocked unconscious by the Exiles. It is unknown if he survived this incident. This version is even more insane than the other alternate versions of the Hulk. While the Exiles had been dealing with Proteus, Hulk's Annihilation Wave killed many of the superhumans which should not have happened if not for Proteus. A new version of the Exiles have been present showing the surviving superhumans and they all have one goal: to stop Hulk and his Annihilation Wave, in which they apparently succeeded.

===Hulk: Chapter One===
In the ''Hulk 1999 Annual'', writer [[John Byrne (comics)|John Byrne]] revised the Hulk's origin, much like his ''[[Spider-Man: Chapter One]]''. In the revised origin, the Gamma Bomb that was being tested is now a gamma laser, and a [[Skrull]] was responsible for [[Rick Jones (character)|Rick Jones]]' presence on the base during the gamma test. The Skrull also disguised himself as Igor Rasminsky (Drenkov in the original stories), a fellow scientist working on the project. The contemporary setting removes the [[Cold War]] context of the original story, and serves as a tie-in to the ''[[Marvel: The Lost Generation]]'' maxi-series created by [[Roger Stern]] and Byrne, which also brought the origins of many Marvel characters out of the 1960s and into contemporary times.<ref>Hulk 1999 Annual.</ref><ref>Marvel: The Lost Generation, issues 12-1; 2000-2001.</ref> The storyline is currently designated as set on Earth-9992, and is not part of mainstream Marvel continuity ([[Earth-616]]).

=== The Last Avengers Story ===
In the 1995 miniseries ''[[The Last Avengers Story]]'', Hulk was amongst those who joined [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]], [[Thing (comics)|The Thing]] and [[Hercules (Marvel Comics)|Hercules]] in a mysterious conflict known as the "Great Cataclysm" which threatened [[Olympus (Marvel Comics)|Olympus]] and [[Asgard (comics)|Asgard]]. The event ended with Hulk holding Hercules's golden mace and his skin temporarily turned grey, suggesting that the Hulk was the only survivor of this conflict. After the Event Hulk was recruited alongside [[Mockingbird (Marvel Comics)|Mockingbird]], [[Tigra]], [[Wonder Man]] and [[Hawkeye (Clint Barton)|Hawkeye]] to fight [[Ultron]]. However Hulk had been seemingly corrupted by the events of the Great Cataclysm and turned on his allies, ripping Tigra in half and puncturing Wonder Man, Wonder Man unleashed his energy against the Hulk, seemingly killing them both and accidentally blinding Hawkeye. Hulk is finally defeated by Thor, which ends the chaos.

===House of M===
In the ''[[House of M]]'' reality, Bruce Banner disappears in [[Australia]], where he befriends an [[Indigenous Australians|Aborigine]] tribe, and attempts to control his dark side. When the mutant rulers of the Earth attack his tribe he retaliates, and eventually conquers Australia with the aid of [[Advanced Idea Mechanics|Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.)]].{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}}

===Infernal Hulk===
In one alternative reality, Bruce Banner and the Hulk were magically separated. Bruce became the new [[Doctor Strange|Sorcerer Supreme]], and the Hulk was cast into hell. However, while in hell, the Hulk became corrupted by the demonic beings he encountered, transforming him into a demon himself. Now completely evil, he escaped from hell and attempted to kill Banner. With help from the mainstream Hulk, Banner tricked the "infernal" Hulk into shattering the Eye of Agamotto, causing him to be thrown back into hell.<ref>''Incredible Hulks Annual'' #1</ref>

===Maestro===
{{main|Maestro (character)}}

Set in a post apocalyptic future, the Hulk has mutated into the dictator Maestro ruling the remains of humanity with an iron fist. Ruthless, sadistic, violent, and tyrannical, the Maestro was shown to be an example of what would happen if the Hulk ever embraced his darker roots. Maestro was known to be an enemy of the Hulk, as the two alternate versions fought each other on Maestro's world.<ref name="Imperfect"/>

===Marvel 2099===
For the ''[[Marvel 2099]]'' imprint, [[Gerard Jones]] and [[Dwayne Turner]] created a new version of the character. First appearing in ''2099 Unlimited'' #1, John Eisenhart, a selfish film producer in "LotusLand" (future [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]]) is inadvertently exposed to gamma radiation by the Knights of the Banner (a cult worshipping the original Hulk) who intend to create a Hulk of their own. As the Hulk, Eisenhart finds himself representing freedom to a closed-off society. A ''[[Hulk 2099]]'' series was published for 10 issues.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}}

The unified Marvel Noir reality of Earth-2099 featured a version of Hulk 2009. In addition, there was a 2099 version of Grey Hulk who was a member of the [[Avengers (comics)#Marvel 2099|2099 version of the Avengers]] until he was among those who were killed by the [[Masters of Evil#Marvel 2099|2099 version of the Masters of Evil]]. The 2099 version of Moon Knight survived the massacre and formed the [[The New Avengers (comics)#Marvel 2099|2099 version of the New Avengers]] with Hulk 2099 as one of its members as they avenged Grey Hulk 2099 and the fallen Avengers by defeating the Masters of Evil and having them remanded to a prison on the planet Wakanda.<ref>''Spider-Man 2099: Exodus'' #3. Marvel Comics.</ref>

===Marvel Comics 2===
In another take, The Hulk is shown to still be active in the alternative future of the [[Marvel Comics 2|MC2]] universe. There, he is shown as an amalgamation of his three main transformations; He has the strength of the Savage Hulk, the attitude of the Grey Hulk, and the intelligence of the Professor Hulk.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}}

He's also shown to have fathered a son named David by an unknown spouse.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}}

He was later seen within the pages of ''[[Last Hero Standing]]'', where [[Loki (Marvel Comics)|Loki]] manipulated him into attacking the heroes. When he was freed of his manipulation he was critical in punishing Loki by forcing him into the voided dimension that [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]] had opened a rift into, Hulk informing Loki that he was ruined on Earth because of Loki's actions and he therefore had nothing to lose by ensuring that Loki would be punished for eternity.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}}

===Marvel Zombies===
====Marvel Zombies: Dead Days====
In the series ''[[Marvel Zombies]]'', the Hulk has been infected with a virus which makes him into an undead zombie (he is actually infected by the zombie Fantastic Four). Although he still retains his strength and invulnerability, he no longer heals, is losing weight because of his now-deteriorating tissue, does not feel pain and now craves human flesh. The zombie Hulk's transformations are physically controlled purely by his appetite — after feeding, he transforms back into Banner, who is also a zombie, until the hunger returns. When Hulk first transforms back into Banner, [[stomach rupture|his stomach starts to burst]]. He is directly responsible for killing the Silver Surfer by [[decapitate|biting off his head]]. Later he joins Spider-Man, Iron-Man, Giant-Man, Wolverine and Luke Cage as the Galacti after killing and consuming Galactus.

====Marvel Zombies 2====
Forty years later, the zombie Hulk, along with the other zombies, had eaten or converted most of the universe, prompting them to return to Earth to try to recover the dimensional transporter. Although the other zombies managed to beat their hunger by going without food for a time, the Hulk's raw hunger was too great for him to be convinced to stop, resulting in him killing the zombified but "cured" [[Iron Man]], [[Jean Grey]], [[Hawkeye (Clint Barton)|Hawkeye]], and [[Firelord (comics)|Firelord]]. Once he feeds and returns to Bruce Banner, he is finally killed by Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Giant-Man, recognizing that there is no other way to stop the Hulk from feeding again.<ref>''Marvel Zombies 2'' #5 (April 2008)</ref>

====Marvel Zombies 3====
Hulk makes a cameo appearance in ''Marvel Zombies 3'' when Machine Man, Ultron, and Jocasta travel to Earth 2149, killing winged zombies (zombie Beak, Angel, Vulture, and Falcon altogether). He also makes another cameo appearance when [[Vanessa Fisk]] explains to the 3 androids how the Silver Surfer died, and how the zombie [[Kingpin (comics)|Kingpin]], who is, surprisingly, her husband, created a zombie empire forming a huge alliance.

====Marvel Zombies Return====
A second Hulk appears in the reality the Marvel Zombies of the original series are teleported to, known as Earth-Z. This version's life appears identical to his core counterpart up until the events of World War Hulk. When he reaches the Moon to attack the Inhumans, he is infected by the zombie [[Giant-Man]], and his allies killed. Oddly hungry, he heads back to Earth and begins eating people, and ultimately infecting the [[Sentry (Robert Reynolds)|Sentry]], who sets about forming a team of Zombie Avengers to eat humanity and wipe out any competition or resistance from other heroes, infected or otherwise dead. After the Sentry tries to kill Hulk to eliminate the competition as the two are the only creatures capable of challenging each other, Hulk is later cured of his hunger by the Zombie [[Spider-Man]] and joins his New Avengers. The team succeeds in killing the Zombie Avengers and ending their plan to eat the multiverse, sacrificing themselves in the process. Ultimately, the nanite infused Sandman killed Hulk.<ref>''Marvel Zombies Return'' #4-5</ref>

===Old Man Logan===
''[[Old Man Logan]]'' is set 50 years into an apocalyptic future. The world is in ruin and shadow following a massive conflict. A large coordinated force of super villains has killed a majority of the heroes and seized control of the [[United States]] splitting it into sections. Bruce Banner is said to have gone mad from radiation sickness, possibly from [[nuclear weapons]] that may have been used during the conflict or this and other changes may be the long-term result of his famous gamma radiation accident. Bruce's personality and powers seem altered, in human form he now has little empathy and possesses superhuman strength. Banner and his cousin [[She-Hulk#Old Man Logan|Jennifer Walters]] have mated and produced offspring that possess their green skin and a little of their strength. They form the [[hillbilly]]-like "'''[[Hulk Gang]]'''" that rule the entire west coast of the country dubbed "Hulkland", a domain formerly held by the Abomination until Banner killed him. Banner, along with his children and grandchildren, live in a collection of caves and trailers, forcing those that live on the west coast to pay them rent in order to be allowed to live.

There were two versions of the Hulk that appear:

====Earth-807128====
"Pappy" Bruce Banner's family threaten Logan's family over rent due to the Banners. Logan accompanies [[Hawkeye (Clint Barton)|Clint Barton]] on a cross country delivery to source the rent money. When Logan returns and finds the bodies of his family, killed by the Banners, he kills the Hulk Gang and attacks Pappy Banner who admits that he set all of this into motion because he missed their old brawls. Banner gets angry when Wolverine calls him a redneck SOB and drives his claws through his chest. He transforms into The Hulk. Hulk overpowers Logan and eats him. Logan's mutant healing factor then allows him to recover and slash his way out of Hulk's stomach, killing him. Logan spots Banner's son, '''Bruce, Jr.''' and spares him. Logan takes the boy to raise in an effort to someday help combat the various villains that still rule the country.<ref>''Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size'' #1</ref>

Old Man Logan found that Pappy Banner's head was placed on a gamma-powered robot made from Adamantium by [[Tinkerer (Marvel Comics)#Old Man Logan|Tinkerer]]. He used it in his revenge on Old Man Logan. Before Old Man Logan can be finished off by Pappy Banner, he is suddenly attacked by Bruce Banner Jr. who separated Pappy Banner's head from the Adamantium armor. Rather than kill his head, Old Man Logan buried it and planted a tree over him so that its roots can slowly dig into his skull.<ref>''Wastelanders: Wolverine'' #1</ref>

====Earth-21923====
Pappy Banner's history on Earth-21923's history was still intact up to his death at the hands of Old Man Logan. When Old Man Logan uses [[Asmodeus (comics)|Asmodeus]]' help to return to this future to rescue Bruce Banner Jr., he finds that the time has been altered in which Maestro appears in the place of Pappy Banner.<ref>''Old Man Logan'' Vol. 2 #24</ref> This unidentified version of Maestro has rounded up the remaining members of the Hulk Gang as he makes plans to help them build a paradise for all Hulks on Earth-616. With help from the Cambria Banner, Logan and Hawkeye of Earth-616 were able to defeat Maestro and the surviving members of the Hulk Gang went their separate ways.<ref>''Old Man Logan'' Vol. 2 #25-30</ref>

===Otto Banner===
During the "[[Devil's Reign]]" storyline, Doctor Octopus started forming his Superior Four that includes a Hulk that has four extra arms growing from his back.<ref>''Devil's Reign'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> His real name is Otto Banner of Earth-8816 and he was also abused by his Earth's version of [[Brian Banner#Earth-8816|Brian Banner]].<ref>''Devil's Reign: Superior Four'' #1. Marvel Comics</ref>

===Ruins===
In the [[Warren Ellis]] series ''[[Ruins (comics)|Ruins]]'', a dark flip to the [[Kurt Busiek]] tale ''[[Marvels]]'', the accidents, experiments and mutations that led to the creation of Super Heroes and super humans, instead led to terrible deformations and painful deaths. Here, Bruce Banner's story goes exactly the same as his 616 counterpart, but when he is caught in the middle of the gamma bomb explosion, instead of transforming into the Incredible Hulk, his whole body opens up from the gigantic tumors that appear inside it, pushing most of his organs and skull outside his body and giving Rick Jones cancer. He did not die, and was put in an underground vault by the CIA, codenamed "the Hulk".<ref>''Ruins'' #1 (Aug 1995)</ref>

===Secret Wars (2015)===
During the ''[[Secret Wars (2015 comic book)|Secret Wars]]'' storyline, different versions of Hulk reside in each [[Battleworld]] domain.

* The Battleworld domain of Greenland is filled with an assortment of Hulks ranging from '''Tribal Hulks''' (a group of Hulks that live like a tribe), '''Bull Hulks''' (a group of gamma-irradiated cattle), '''Sand Hulks''' (who evoke the traits of Hulk and [[Sandman (Marvel Comics)|Sandman]]), and a '''Sea Hulk'''. This land is a recreation of Earth-71612 where it was rendered into a Hulk-filled land by a gamma bomb strike by A.I.M. It was stated that Bruce Banner had started Bannertech Industries and his fate has not been mentioned since A.I.M.'s gamma bomb strike. In addition to the various type of Hulks and a variation of a [[Red Hulk]] that rules Greenland as the '''Red King'''", a variation of Steve Rogers that was sent into Greenland by God Emperor Doom and Sheriff Strange encountered another variation of Steve Rogers that operated as Doc Green.<ref>''Planet Hulk'' #1</ref>
* The Battleworld domain of Spider-Island that was based from the remnants of Earth-19919 told an alternate version of the ''[[Spider-Island]]'' storyline where Hulk was mutated into '''Spider-Hulk''' and served as one of [[List of Marvel Comics characters: Q#Queen|Spider-Queen]]'s minions. However, [[Agent Venom]] uses [[Curt Connors]]' Lizard Formula to mutate Hulk into a giant lizard monster, which broke him free from the Spider Queen's control.<ref>''Spider-Island'' #1-5</ref>
* The Battleworld domain of Marville that was based from the remnants of Earth-71912 featured a child version of Hulk that is a member of the Avengers.<ref>''Giant-Size Little Marvel: AVX'' #4</ref>
* The Battleworld domain of the Kingdom of Manhattan is based from the remnants of Earth-61610 where variations of characters from Earth-616 and Earth-1610 co-exist on the combined version of both reality's Manhattan. In this case, a variation of Hulk's Doc Green form co-exists with a variation of Earth-1610's Hulk.<ref>''Ultimate End'' #1-5</ref>
* The Battleworld domain of Bug World that was based from the remnants of Earth-22312 features an anthropomorphic insect version of Hulk called '''Roly-Poly Hulk'''.<ref>''Secret Wars: Secret Love'' #1</ref>

===Spider-Geddon===
During the "[[Spider-Geddon]]" storyline, a sequel to "[[Spider-Verse]]", '''Robbie Banner''' is a punk on Earth-138 who is allied with [[Spider-Punk]] and can turn into the Hulk while listening to "Atomic Bomb" music. He helped Spider-Punk and [[Flag-Smasher#Spider-Geddon|Captain Anarchy]] fight the [[U-Foes]] at the Hellfire Club, assisted Spider-Punk and M.C. Strange push the [[Universal Church of Truth]] out of Queens, and fought Hydra on the streets. After obtaining the "Atomic Bomb" tape from Captain Anarchy, Spider-Punk visited Robbie to get his help, but the latter was reluctant to listen to the tape. When [[Kang the Conqueror#Spider-Geddon|Kang the Conglomerator]] went on the attack, Robbie reluctantly listened to the tape and transformed into the Hulk to help Spider-Punk fight Kang.<ref>''Edge of Spider-Verse'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref>

===The End===
In other tales, possible futures for the character have been shown. Using a post apocalyptic wasteland as a backdrop, the Peter David written ''[[Hulk: The End]]'' [[One shot (comic)|one-shot]] features an elderly Bruce Banner as the last surviving inhabitant of Earth, the Hulk having hidden in a cave during a nuclear war until he was released by the Recorder sent to confirm humanity's demise. After Bruce has spent time traveling Earth, transforming into the Hulk at night and when attacked by the mutated [[cockroach]]es that are the only other surviving lifeforms on Earth, the story concludes with Banner dying of a heart attack, thus leaving the Hulk as the last living being on the planet. Acknowledging that he would also die if he changes back into Banner, the Hulk reflects on the fact that he has finally achieved his wish to be alone.<ref>''Hulk: The End'' (August 2002)</ref>

===Ultimate Marvel===
An alternate universe variant of Bruce Banner / Hulk from Earth-1610 appears in the [[Ultimate Marvel]] imprint. This version is a scientist working for [[S.H.I.E.L.D.#Ultimate Marvel|S.H.I.E.L.D.]] who gained his powers from an attempt to recreate the Super-Soldier Formula that created [[Captain America (Ultimate Marvel character)|Captain America]].<ref>''Ultimate Origins'' #4</ref> Additionally, Hulk is depicted as more malicious, representing Banner's hidden emotions and [[Id, ego and superego#Id|id]].

===Ultimate Universe===
During the "[[Ultimate Invasion]]" storyline, [[Maker (character)|Maker]] visits [[Earth-6160]] and remakes it into his own image. One of the things he could not succeed in was preventing the origin of Hulk, who would later find personal "enlightenment". He and his fellow monks of the Children of the Eternal Light would later attend an international event held by the Maker at the City in [[Latveria]] as part of his [[Illuminati (comics)#Ultimate Universe|Council]].<ref>''Ultimate Invasion'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> Hulk and the Children of the Eternal Light are revealed to rule India and parts of Asia.
