Hulk: Characters
built 502 days ago
In this series, most characters behaved the way comic book characters generally do, but She-Hulk "knew" she was in a comic book. She would address the reader directly, reach across panel borders or tear through to the next page to grab a fleeing villain, and even argue with Byrne himself the way Rocky & Bullwinkle sometimes argued with the narrator. The Blonde Phantom, who had briefly starred in a Marvel comic during the 1940s, became a supporting character. She, too, was "aware" of her status, and had joined the cast because comic book characters age only when they aren't seen for a long time, and she wanted to get back into a regular series, even in a menial position, before it was too late.

Fantastic Four #12 (March 1963), featured the Hulk's first battle with the Thing, as well as a new way for Banner to transform into Hulk, by using a gamma ray machine of his own design to trigger the change. Although many early Hulk stories involve General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross trying to capture or destroy the Hulk, the main villain is often, like Hulk, a radiation based character, like the Toad men, or General Fang. Ross' daughter, Betty, loves Banner and criticizes her father for pursuing the Hulk. General Ross' right-hand man, Major Glenn Talbot... loves Betty and is torn between pursuing the Hulk and trying to gain Betty's love more honorably. Rick Jones serves as the Hulk's friend and sidekick in these early tales.

In 1971, The Hulk got another shot at group membership, when Doctor Strange put together a loose federation of disparate characters called The Defenders. His sometimes-uneasy alliance with this group continued, off-and-on, until The Defenders disbanded, in 1986.

Mantlo took the character into the arena of political commentary when Hulk traveled to Tel Aviv, Israel, encountering both the violence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the Jewish Israeli heroine Sabra. Soon after, Hulk encountered the Arabian Knight (comics), a Bedouin superhero.[3]
