HULK MUSCLE-SUPERHERO
The Hulk, often called the Incredible Hulk, is a Marvel Comics superhero.

The Hulk's personality and intelligence level has varied wildly over the years, even from his earliest days. In his very first issue, he is easily confused, and rather brutish. In his second, as well as assuming his trademark green skin color, he acts almost as an outright villain. In the third, he becomes the mindless thrall of Rick Jones, and in the fourth, Bruce Banner gains the ability to impose his personality over the Hulk - although this is short-lived, as the personality which later becomes associated with the Grey Hulk.

Shortly after the re-emergence of the Gray Hulk, writer Peter David took on the mantle of writing the Incredible Hulk, a role he would hold for almost twelve years. David had the craftily intelligent Grey Hulk ally with the Leader to restore the Leader's intelligence by draining Rick Jones' gamma power, in return for the Leader making it possible to allow him to remain the Hulk in both day and night.

Although the Hulk is classified as a superhero, he and Banner share a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-like relationship. In his most well-known incarnation, the Hulk has little intelligence or self-control and can cause great destruction. As a result, he has been hunted by the military and other superheroes and Banner considers the Hulk a curse.

Although an atypical superhero, the Hulk has consistently been one of Marvel's most popular. In recent decades, comic book writers have portrayed the character as a symbol of inner rage and Freudian repression. The Hulk's existence has been explained as an after-effect of child abuse and latent multiple personality disorder.

The Hulk's strength extends to his legs as well, giving him the ability to leap several miles in a single bound. As his strength increases during times of anger, this ability increases dramatically. Under normal circumstances, the Hulk can leap 3 miles in a single jump but has been shown to jump almost into the upper atmosphere while in an enraged state.
