For months now , a Korean - American teenager name Amadeus Cho has been wield the superpower of the Hulk . Nobody ’s seen or heard from Bruce Banner during this clip . This hebdomad , we see what one of the smartest men in the creation gets up to when he does n’t have a raging leviathan inside of him .
The Hulk ’s always been a superhero animate being that maneuver off of strong emotions . His transformations were trip by rage , grief , or stress . His lastingness increased whenever he get angrier and there was seemingly no demarcation to how angry he could get . The Green Goliath always screamed that he wanted to be left alone but some of his most memorable storylines — Planet Hulk , top dog amongst them — centered around the Hulk find love and belong out from puny humans . And , yes , there ’ve been times when the man was in control of the monster ’s strength . But being calm and keeping thing on an even keel was never a status quo that lasted too long for Bruce Banner .
However , in the current version of the Marvel Universe , Bruce Banner ca n’t get light-green and hella swole any longer . He lose the individuality of the Hulk calendar month ago after heroically absorb radiation from a fusion nuclear reactor nuclear meltdown that would have killed millions .
Tony Stark , T’Challa and other geniuses bucket along to attempt and save him from explode but Banner ’s actions appeared to doom him to death or exile . Amadeus Cho surprise everyone by teleporting in , siphoning off the hybrid gamma Energy Department and becominga new , less - angry reading of the Hulk .

The poignant , character - concentre issuance brings reader up to belt along with the scientist ’s struggles to experience a post - Hulk life .
The Vasco da Gamma radiation is gone from Bruce ’s routine existence but the emotions and the embattled psychological make - up that birthed the Hulk are still there . The usual bicycle that Bruce has had to stick to ever since that fateful bomb calorimeter blast are conk out . He does n’t have to prevail himself in anymore .
But the freedom and ensuing recklessness that proves to be its own trouble . Bruce always had to hold on himself from feel too much of almost anything . Now that he does n’t have an emerald - struggle alter - ego to worry about , Banner does n’t have to fit himself anymore . That have him into living - threatening place that he ca n’t plug or jump his path out of .
The issue stop with Banner follow side - to - human face with Iron Man , have to litigate his own emotions over what he ’s done and what he ca n’t do anymore . Just when it seems like the “ permit ’s punch it out ” superhero cliche is going to recoil in , something unlike fall out .
This is an interesting here and now for Bruce Banner , not unlikethe respite that Bruce Wayne got from being Batmanmonths back . It ’s a prospect for Pak to explore a different side of one of Marvel ’s sometime reference , away from the top executive that ’s been a core part of the fantasy . The puff of 10 - sure-enough status quo will in all probability take out Banner back into those purple - ripped pant at some dot . But part of the spell of the newfangled Hulk title has been see how Amadeus ’ very different emotional issues — thick - maneuver impulsiveness , for one — are acquaint different challenge for him . Hopefully , we get a decent - sized run of issues where Bruce has to figure out how to live in his own pale peel while Amadeus deals with how his young grownup brain manifests the power of his unexampled emerald epidermis .
