    A bit of a nonsense question for a Marvel character.

    The distinct characteristic of the Marvel universe is precisely the fact that so many of the superpowered individuals do not fit into the neat categories of “good guy” and “bad guy.” That’s the whole reason for Marvel’s original popularity starting in the 1960’s – flawed heroes, anti-heroes, dysfunctional group dynamics, vigilante justice, people turning to crime for noble reasons, moral quandaries, heroes lashing out in rage, etc. No one in a Marvel story ever refers to himself/herself as a villain, sort of like in real life.

    Leave that childish good guy/bad guy garbage to the DC people. You want white hats vs. black hats and a simplistic moral structure, read Superman….

    Damn why don’t you just ask for the meaning while you’re at it.

    Unlike most of the Avengers, Hulk didn’t just decide he was going to be a hero and then go bathe in some radiation. The Incredible Hulk, much like a certain Wall Crawler, is an accident. He didn’t voluteer for a secret government project because he wanted to serve his country in anyway possible. He didn’t decide to do be a force of good after realizing the destruction he and his past inventions caused. No he’s just a guy that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And I think it shows in the way that often times the Hulk just wants to get rid of the radiation that turned him or at the least be left alone.

    There is no question that the Dr. Banner has done plenty of good things in his day. And he’s done some bad stuff too.

    So let me ask, how do you define “good guy” and “bad guy”?

    You need to ask the rock chips. It’s really up to them. When the Hulk SMASHES, a rock chip either flies off and hits Betty Ross in the forehead and puts her in the hospital for three issues, or it doesn’t fly off and hit her in the forehead and put her in the hospital for three issues. And in that moment, the Hulk is, or is not the bad guy. It’s really up to the rock chips.

    Well, the Hulk’s characterization has shifted a great deal over the years, as one writer or another interprets him differently, and his nature and powers periodically change. But for the sake of argument, let’s take “classic” Hulk as an example.

    I don’t see classic Hulk as a character per se, so much as a force of nature. The Hulk isn’t a good guy or a bad guy, he’s just something terrible that happens, like an earthquake or a hurricane. A force of nature. Now, Bruce Banner’s a good guy, and that’s the tension that I see. It’s a story about a good, decent, gentle man who has to live a very strange life, because he’s carrying a major natural disaster around in his head, and at any time, that powerful force could get out of control.
