What Happened To Every Version Of The Hulk?

15. Joe Fixit

The most well-known Hulk identity behind Savage Hulk, the Grey Hulk was initially intended to be the primary version of the Hulk, only to be retconned after problems with inking meant that the character was turned green. As such, the Grey Hulk would only properly appear in issue #324.

The Grey Hulk - who would go on to be known as 'Joe Fixit' - is smarter than the regular Hulk, but also more dishonest, prone to lying and manipulating people. After overriding Banner's control over him, Fixit would work as a casino enforcer, managing to carve out a life almost entirely separate to his human host - right until Bruce reawakens, and the two are forced to once again try and work together.

The Grey Hulk remains one of many personas repressed within Banner's psyche, with the only notable difference being that Fixit is capable of taking over for days at a time, leaving his unfortunate human host responsible for all of his actions when he finally regains consciousness.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
