Does anyone remember the name of an old hulk villain in which he was an ape/caveman which became irradiated, thus turning his body into crystal?

I think size wise there's a reason for discrepancies which leads to artists getting scale wrong.
A lot of the time, the Hulk is hunched over or slouching. Probably from having to fit into smaller locations.
The question is do you prefer the hunched over Hulk which lends itself to bulky depictions (ala Fixit) or a standing tall Hulk (ala Professor) which fits in when drawn next to other characters?
In other words, a tall Hulk standing straight up looks weird in comparison to other people standing up.. but a tall hunched over Hulk looms over people and looks bigger (think of how tall he'd look standing in that depiction!)
It doesn't matter anyways, Wolverine is supposed to be 5'3" or something. He'd be as tall as Hulk's knee.
Hulk definitely has purposely killed, but...usually it was characters that tried to kill his friends or loved ones. What Hulk's not is some reckless monster...bent on destruction...with no regard for innocent life.
Or maybe it wasn’t as bad as it seemed since it was not thrown in Hulk’s face. That was during a time when politics played heavily in comics.
Stan Lee has mentioned that in the early issues of Hulk, the problem he had was finding his voice, not his incarnation. He didn’t want him sounding like the Thing. Also, there was an in story story of the gamma trying to find balance not more identities. Under Stan Lee, Hulk was a “dichotomy”, so whatever changes were between Banner and his gammafied self.
People tend to leave when Hulk’s around. Marvel misunderstanding stuff. And you’re going to tell me the military was going to unload on Hulk with tanks and automatic weapons and whatnot in a major city filled with civilians???
As for the "famous Amadeus Cho page," Bill Mantlo and Peter David come to mind as Hulk writers that also mentioned Hulk has uncanny accuracy. There are also many in story instances showing Hulk’s precision strikes.
Again, Eric Larsen was not a Hulk writer. Read Hulk from his beginning until Al Milgrom and you’ll see his moral compass. He definitely had his moments that seemed threatening and even went mindless after Secret Wars, but for the most part he was looking for peace and a place where he felt wanted but succumbed to Marvel Comics style internal character struggles...
I don’t know what you were reading...but that ain’t it....
If PKJ can tie gamma beings to the story of the Demiurge without taking away from the real history of gamma-rays and what they do...I’ll write him off as smart as me...

I remember Sandman turning into glass...
I think it should depend on the incarnation whether he is hunched over or stands upright like a normal person. My issue is when Hulk’s "normal" height is portrayed over eight feet tall. It's hard to imagine him having a relationship with Jarella, Caiera or Umar.

Wonder if that visual of a red Absorbing Man inspired Creel's "Bannerman" look during the early issues of Immortal (which wound up with the famous 'torn in half' image).

REOPENING THE CRYPT!
Once more, as All Hallows' Eve draws nigh, the dust-covered slab that seals shut the crypt, blocking out the sun and casting it forever in shadow, has creaked open to let the darkness loose to prey on the Marvel Universe! Be they mercenary or mage, guided by law or by rage, our heroes will face their terror, and they'd best pray their spines are sturdy enough for the job…or the crypt they find may well be their own!

Depends on the incarnation. I am fine with having incarnations like Maestro and Titan and Guilt Hulk and Devil Hulk as i am fine with Joe Fixit and Merged Hulk and Savage Hulk and Green Scar, etc...
Maybe.
Stan Lee had a lot of problem in earlier issues he wasn't even 100% sure what he wanted Hulk to be, he also argued with Kirby about what powers he should have, for instance Kirby wanted Hulk to fly but Stan didn't want to.
They tend to but that also depends on how much time they have for it. Are you new to how military works? Even in real life they fight in urban areas fairly recklessly all the time.
That was more how Hulk is just accurate for the sake of being precise at striking something, not as an excuse for why his mind subconsciously avoids killing civilians.
It wasn't just Eric Larsen even Stan Lee wrote Hulk extremely out of character as we established. Also as you mention it even during many other writers like Milgrom Hulk had his moments where he was going wild, this has been core of the character since the earliest of days, he isn't your typical super hero that has a code against killing like Superman and that's a good thing, it makes him all the better instead of run of the mill super heroes you see left and right.
I have read all of Hulk, so it is it.
PKJ is already tying it all to what Ewing did, so dont expect him to do what you want him to do and thank god. I am tired of writers ignoring or even retconning previous writers runs mostly out of pure laziness because they haven't read those runs, instead we are building up in Ewings run more which is perfect. Bring in the Godflesh.
PKJ is doing a panel at SDCC so we might get more news regarding future Hulk stuff.
