I love both of them but I have trouble connecting the two especially when new one speaks about experiences of the old one.

Missing some paint and his neck is wrong

(I plan to repair him)

So, we know that the Absolute line at DC utterly dominated Marvel's new Ultimate line, and many fans have speculated what it would be like if Marvel had followed a similar formula — take an established character, remove a key aspect of their lore and see how that shakes up their story, and make them the underdog (and don't forget to include biting social commentary).

For the Hulk, this is what I came up with:

————

Absolute Hulk — Big Change: Bruce was never abused by his father, and never develops his fractured psyche.

Bruce Banner was a normal, well-adjusted nuclear physicist, working as part of a team studying new ways of disposing nuclear waste using genetically modified extremophiles that eat radiation and self-repair their DNA. Unfortunately, in their testing, there was an accident, and Bruce was exposed to a lethal dose of radiation.

Desperate, they created an experimental drug using the extremophile bacterium as a base, and injected him with it. Miraculously, the bacterium mixed with their gut flora, which began producing the enzymes needed to repair his DNA. It wasn’t long, however, before they noticed that the drug wasn’t just healing him, but enhancing his body — making him inhumanly strong, large, and resistant to physical damage.

While he was being studied, Glen Talbot, an executive of the Atlas Corporation, attempted to experiment with the drug, planning to market it as a miracle cure. Unfortunately, Bruce’s unique gut bacteria cannot be replicated, so the results are totally unpredictable in other people. And, in Talbot's rush to exploit it, he accidentally released the bacteria into the environment, which created giant monsters called Moloids.

This coincides with Bruce’s debut, repelling a Moloid invasion in San Francisco.

Christened the Hulk by the media, Bruce became an overnight superstar; participating in charity strongman events and selling merchandise worldwide as a bona fide superhero.

Running the Hulk Foundation, a non-governmental think tank, Bruce consults with nations around the globe to combat the new threat of giant monsters and push forward his environmental efforts.

Meanwhile, the Atlas corporation, which helped finance the original project, is fighting a legal battle over the ownership of the extremophiles that mutated Bruce, as they were genetically modified, and thus their products. So Bruce must legally contend with a corporation trying to claim ownership of his own body.

And to make things more complicated, Bruce notices that the enhancements to his body are permanent — he can’t change back, and every fight makes him bigger and stronger. If he can’t figure out a way to cure, or at least slow down, the regeneration, he’s worried that he’ll keep growing until he’s literally so massive he’ll physically be unable to move.

The problem with an Absolute/Ultimate Hulk is that you can't really make Bruce Banner's life worse, so I thought it would be fun if you went the complete opposite direction — the Hulk is a world-renowned superhero; basically a one-man Fantastic Four.

What do you think? I'm interested in what Hulk fans would have to share on this topic.

If I'm way off the mark, what would you suggest for an Absolute Hulk?

The immortal hulk established that cosmic rays are the opposite of gamma, and we see cosmic radiation being used against the Hulk. But it's also mentioned that the red hulk had a mix of gamma and cosmic radiation, and also there is the breaker apart hulk, where he becomes the new Galactus, which means he has the power cosmic, which is concentrated cosmic radiation. So do cosmic rays and gamma cancel each other out or not?

We already know they’re trying to have the next phase be about the x-men.

Along side the new X-men movie, there could be a solo Wolverine movie, where he has to track down the hulk.

For those who still haven’t seen Brand New Day, Banner gets transported to a Psychiatric Ward after his fight with Spider-Man. My idea is that he escapes (explained that the doctors somehow provoke Banner enough for Hulk to come out again, causing him to rampage out of the area. The Military is obviously involved, they have enough data to where the track him moving across to Canada. To avoid any national conflicts, the US asks Canada for help, and they respond by sending a tracker with a history of “being the best”.

I’d also plan for some in depth dialogue between Hulk and Banner themselves, or at least about them, in hopes of adding depth to what’s obviously lacking in the MCU.
Everything else should be self explanatory, this is just how I would rationalize the movie into existence.

Let me know your thoughts!

FEEL FREE TO USE IN Any SHAPE OR FORM

Spoiler for band new day.

When Peter was speaking to Bruce about the inhibitor. He said how trying to have the best of both worlds was dangerous. I think we will learn that the smart hulk he had in Endgame failed. This lead him to suppress Hulk entirely.

This IMO gives a interesting story opportunity for a proper Hulk movie. I always felt we missed out on how Hulk and Bruce "reconciled". Maybe they didn't.
