calling Hulk a superhero...

Hulk's not a superhero, he's a monster-hero.

He’s a super monster

Hulk's not a superhero, he's a monster-hero.

Could that apply to the Thing though as well? Although Ben despite his appearance seems to be mostly a level-headed guy. Sure in his earlier appearances he was a big angry, even talked a bit like the Hulk at times ("Bah!") but once Stan and Jack created the Hulk, it seemed all that kind of faded away.

Depends on who is writing... And also which Hulk Persona...


Sometimes Hulk is monster with a heart of gold... Others Bruce Banner is the hero who aims the Hulk at problem... Or Hulk is an outright monster at the right place/time...

Absolutely this. A character who in canon demonstrates multiple manifestations of their personality/power set is always going to be hard to put in one box.

Hulk has absolutely been a super hero in the past and he's been just a rampaging monster, he's also been several shades in between.

It's really funny how all of the heroes changed from their 60's selves.

How about a “force of nature”?

what about calling him a doctor or professor when he has absolutely never seen the inside of a college? as his green alter ego has he ever studied for any formal education degree? Lol
