Maybe the "Hydra Hulk" is the one who messed up El Paso? If you read #15 Devil says Hydra Hulk is locked away, but "as long as I'm around"....so maybe it got loose.

I don't know about that. We know the child-like Hulk is present, and Banner is present. We also see green letters over a gray colored box representing Banner's thoughts. Could the gray in the box represent the Gray Hulk... maybe...just maybe... but your guess is as good as mine.

Let me reveal the answer to you. They are not dead, at least not killed of by Cates. Because no writer including Cates is gonna be so dumb to kill off multiple Hulk personalities off screen and not even mention it, i can hardly think of a dumber thing anyone can do in a run like this. If you are killing off a Hulk personality you are dedicating a whole chapter to it like Ewing did with Devil Hulk.
If Bruce Banner had a sad Hulk, it would definitely have emerged reading the last several pages of this conversation.

Being that gamma is both science and magic, I believe Banner used his own gamma mind to create this palace in his head. He is no longer being reactive, but proactive by learning how to use his gammafied body.

Comic book rules -- if it's not depicted on panel it didn't happen.
We haven't seen Glow, Goblin and Guardian either.
Regardless, I agree that Banner used his mind to restructure/imprision his alters, but disagree completely that doing so killed the alters (Devil, Fixit, Triad, etc) Restructuring into a palace isn't the same as curing himself of alters. If anything the imagery of palace implies a fiefdom wherein Banner is the King and unruly subjects are locked away in the dungeon. And besides if he were capable of getting rid of alters on his own this way, wouldn't he have done it long ago? It all depends on how bad El Paso really was.
Also given the imagery of Starship Hulk we'll have a mutiny of the other alters to commandeer the ship when they inevitably escape from said dungeon. For Cates it's likely best to start over with a back to basics approach and save/bring in that stuff for later after he's pissed off enough people.

More like your rules. A lot of things have been said and done or left to the imagination in comics since I've been reading them.
Here's a dictionary's definition of the word "restructure" -Regardless, I agree that Banner used his mind to restructure/imprision his alters, but disagree completely that doing so killed the alters (Devil, Fixit, Triad, etc) Restructuring into a palace isn't the same as curing himself of alters.

1. to change, alter, or restore the structure of
2. to effect a fundamental change in (as an organization or system).
I'm not saying a writer couldn't come along and bring Devil Hulk back, but for the time being, he is dead and gone.
There is no dungeon. Banner won't let Childlike Hulk into the palace. He's in that desert. No telling where the missing part of the mind is.Also given the imagery of Starship Hulk we'll have a mutiny of the other alters to commandeer the ship when they inevitably escape from said dungeon.

Yeah, totally my rule.
If the Devil Hulk alter was killed (and as you've argued science trumps comics in that gamma vs cosmic ray thread, ergo science says alters cannot be killed)
If he's dead, Ewing killed him. But since Ewing had someone whispering in Bruce's ear in Hell that sounded like him, he's alive until proven dead.
So which is it, do we believe science or comics?
Make up your mind.
"A lot of things have been said and done or left to the imagination in comics since I've been reading them."
Bruce has more alters than just Salad Head. Alters cannot be killed. Alters are not shown, ergo they must be elsewhere and not dead.
