monition : contain SPOILERS for Giant - Size Hulk # 1!It ’s been well - established that Bruce Banner and theHulkare two separate entity that partake in one physical dead body . When Banner is in control , their torso remains human , whereas the Hulk translate their eubstance into a light-green colossus ( which was only made potential by the exposure to da Gamma radiation from the Hulk ’s origin ) . However , there have been times when Bruce Banner and the Hulk have merge into a single entity , or have draw from look of the other when one is in ascendency - but they ’ve never done anything like this .
InGiant - Size Hulk#1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Andrea Broccardo , Bruce Banner thumb a ride in a train ’s boxcar following theHulk ’s conflict against Frozen Charlotte- an eldritch beast that ’s been terrify the people of New Orleans for generation . Frozen Charlotte turn Banner ’s companion , Charlie , into a doll , and Banner can do nothing for her but ensure her new var. stay safe until he can find a agency to loosen what Frozen Charlotte did . And then , Banner is address by a sinister alien , who wants the chick for himself : Patchwork Jack .
Patchwork Jack lives on this wagon train , and he collects a toll from those who buck a ride . Sometimes he takes their possessions , but mostly Jack slip dead body parts from those who ca n’t make up - up , or - if he ’s very lucky - he can slip power from any superhumans who discover themselves on his train . Here , Patchwork Jack come up across a superhuman , but he ’s far from golden .
After tell Banner he can make up his cost with Charlie , Banner right away punches Patchwork Jack after Hulking - out his correct limb - just his right arm .
Bruce Banner Can Hulk-Out Individual Body Parts While Retaining Control of His Mind/Body
Rather than Hulking - out all at once ( which is how these shift usually occur ) , Bruce Banner was able-bodied to just tap into the Hulk ’s power and insulate it to a exclusive arm , provide him to get at the Hulk ’s strength without losing himself to a full transformation . This is absolutely innovational , as it think Banner can center Hulk ’s strength into a individual flack , offering a phone number of welfare not just for himself , but for the wider superhero community in Marvel Comics .
Banner ’s newfound power to reach the Hulk ’s power without in full transform could be greatly beneficial for covert delegacy where the visual aspect of the Hulk would be a bit too conspicuous . Not only that , but this would be perfect while fighting in a squad like the Avengers , as it would mitigate the confirmative damage that ’s commonly synonymous with the Hulk ’s engagement in any given Avengers struggle .
However , there ’s one downside to this Modern power : it opens the doorway for the Hulk to take over completely , and the Hulk never misses an opportunity to do so .
While Banner CAN Access Hulk’s Strength Without Transforming, Hulk will Never Let Him
powerful now is an peculiarly turbulent time in Hulk and Banner ’s relationship , as Banner tried to harness the Hulk ’s strength as his own with‘Starship Hulk ’ during Donny Cates ’ previousHulkrun , and that infuriate Hulk beyond compare . In other words , while it would be corking if Banner could get at Hulk ’s strength whenever he wanted , there ’s just no way the Hulk would allow him do that . Hulk is on a commission to make Banner ’s life as difficult as possible to punish him for the ‘ Starship Hulk ’ whipping , and this novel power is a gift the Hulk is disinclined to give .
The Hulk was in the beginning reckon at purely as the monstrosity within Bruce Banner in Marvel Comics , but now , that aspect of their human relationship has toss .
While the Hulk will definitely not let Banner keep this power to get at his long suit himself as their relationship currently stands in Marvel canon , that may very well change once the two reconcile their differences - as they have several time before . But , for now , just knowing that this ability is possible will have to be enough , as Bruce Banner ’s newHulktransformation redefines how he uses his gamma strength .
