Prof hulk was one at least three missions with the defenders. He joined the "return of the defenders" team in the annual storyline, was on spider-mans secret defenders team and helped out in a really funny way in an issue of secret defenders.

Prof. Hulk on the Defenders would have been something to see. While I think Savage Hulk is perfect for the team, it would have been something to see a smart Hulk with them for a bit. Just imagine the reactions from Dr. Strange and Valkyrie to see a smart Hulk on the team. I don't know how they'd handle it. Strange would probably faint lol.

I didn't even know that happened, I just saw a green, eloquent and rude Hulk and assumed that was the Professor:
(Avengers#1 vol 3).
Maybe a Hulk expect can clear up what was up with him, I checked the wiki and the Hulk comic out at the time was Incredible Hulk#461.
Fair enough lol.Also hulk and banner just got split in two with an all angry hulk for a year with banner in the heroes reborn universe as another hulk. Wasn't the best time to ask him.
Yeah that was nice.One neat part of iw however with hulk was him and wolverine just hanging out chatting.

Now that is an interesting thought, and Professor Hulk was a smart enough fella, would be funny if he tried something like being a team leader here and there lol.
Huh, right, keep forgetting Spidey was in the Defenders at some point... But then again, who wasn't lol.
Strange would likely not be too weirded out since he's used to weird, but I get the feeling Valkyrie wouldn't really like Professor, 'cause Savage Hulk is grumpy but good hearted, Professor is a bit of a jackass.
Then again, she worked with Namor just fine so maybe not...

He wasn't her favorite, but they got along just fine, in Defenders#5, when Hulk blew hew off over trying to make the team work, Namor decides to comfort her:
And in the next issue, Valkyrie, Namor and Silver Surfer even went on a trip together (Though one we don't get to see):

(Defenders#6).
Then again, even if she's okay with someone like Namor, doesn't mean she'd be that okay with Professor Hulk, considering she knows Hulk as someone else.
Now I'm wondering, did she ever meet Joe Fixit? I have my doubts about it happening though...
Considering that at the time Professor was considered a merge of the personalities (Nowadays he's just another one), that'd be, difficult, and would also annoy Professor lol.That honor was the Savage Hulk's. If the Professor was a douche then no way would Valkyrie stand for it! She'd demand for Savage Hulk to return.
Val seemed attracted to Namor, but he was nice to her when Strange was not, the Surfer was not there when she was created and the Hulk was, well, the Hulk, lol.

I always felt that there was a special vibe between Namor and Val that could have developed deeper.
Later on, I did not know if it was because of similarities of Atlantean Prince and Norse demi-goddess, their similar views of right/wrong, battle and allies or.....something more.
If Namor would have stayed with the early Defenders, it might have proved very interesting.....

Another interesting fact is that Val herself noted that Clea did not like her or want her in the Sanctum Sanctorum when Val was first created. However, later on, happily, they became great gal-pals, with Clea even providing Val her costumes and lending her mystical aid when required.

Anyone remember the Ultimate Defenders? What a huge disappointment that was! Then again, at the end of the day -- that universe was a disappointment despite some excellent Bryan Hitch artwork.
Millar only used them once, I beleive. Loeb gave Val Asgardian powers, but as said above -- his run was not the best.
