 Among his numerous skills are a few that aren't well known, such as the capacity to breathe underwater via a specialized gland and the ability to sense ghosts, which made him one of the few characters who could see Doctor Strange in his astral form.

 +===== Red Hulk =====
 +
 +To rekindle interest in the character, Marvel produced a new series featuring a vicious and nasty Red Hulk who did heinous things like steal the Silver Surfer's surfboard (the cad!). In one of the most mocked comic book discoveries of all time, the Red Hulk's identity was revealed to be General Ross. [([[https://www.marvel.com/characters/red-hulk|Marvel]])]
 +
 +===== More Hulks =====
 +
 +Betty Ross and Rick Jones, long-time Hulk pals, were also transformed into Hulks. [([[https://www.cbr.com/red-hulk-marvel-other-hulk/|CBR]])]
 +
 +===== Name Changed To David =====
 +
 +When the Hulk received his own TV program in 1978, they altered Bruce Banner's initial name to David because, according to the show's creator, having a character with an alliterative name was implausible, conveniently ignoring that Bruce Banner was played by Bill Bixby. [([[https://screenrant.com/incredible-hulk-tv-show-david-bruce-banner-name-change-reason/|Screen Rant]])]
 +
 +===== Several Incarnations =====
 +
 +Hulk has had several incarnations over the years, including Joe Fixit, a Vegas mafia enforcer, "The Professor," a clever version of the Hulk, and a crazy Hulk who had to stay furious to avoid returning to a demented Banner. [([[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/IncredibleHulkBruceBanner|TVtropes]])]
 +
 +===== Skulk =====
 +
 +The Hulk was fused with Solomon Grundy in a rare DC/Marvel Universe crossover to form Skulk, a villain that worked for Dr. Strangefate (a mixture of Doctor Strange and Dr. Fate). [([[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/strngfte.htm|Marvunapp]])]
 +
 +===== Lou Ferrigno =====
 +
 +The bodybuilder who played the Hulk, Lou Ferrigno, has actually been involved in every live-action Hulk adaptation ever made, including a cameo appearance in Ang Lee's Hulk, The Incredible Hulk, and as the Hulk's voice in "Avengers: Age of Ultron". [([[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002073/|IMDB]])]
 +
 +===== Richard Kiel =====
 +
 +Despite the fact that Lou Ferrigno has become synonymous with the Hulk, he nearly lost the role to Richard Kiel, who played the fearsome Bond villain "Jaws". Kiel was fired because he wasn't hefty enough for the job. [([[https://the-19.fandom.com/wiki/Richard_Kiel|The-19]])]
 +
 +===== Arnold Schwarzenegger =====
 +
 +Arnold Schwarzenegger was also considered for the job, but was turned down because he was too short (6'2" to Ferrigno's 6'5"). [([[https://www.builtreport.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-and-the-most-muscular-pose/|Builtreport]])]
