Immortal Hulk: 10 Shocking Moments That Blew Fans' Minds

3. "Cause I Love You, You Stupid Kid" - Immortal Hulk #13

Given the issues leading up to the moment that Banner and Hulk reunited involved a man being ripped open, a portal to Hell, and a bunch of eyeless zombies, you hardly expect this to all build to a gentle heartwarming moment between the two. But that's exactly the case for Immortal Hulk #13, which sees Hulk fight countless horrors to find his human alter ego, in order to... tell him he loves him?

It's impossible to not be shocked at this moment, for a whole host of reasons. Firstly, since the Immortal Hulk is supposed to be the nightmarish Devil Hulk, nobody could have expected him to have suddenly grown a soft spot for the man he traumatised for countless years. Even ignoring that, the idea of the Hulk caring for Banner - in fact, having great affection for him, and wanting to take care of him - is legitimately surreal.

Sure, the idea of shedding a tear or two over a green bodybuilder feels a little silly, but there's no shame in getting emotional over a series that essentially shows a man getting over his abusive childhood and the traumas that came with it - even if that involves going to Hell with his green best friend.
