Rumor: The New Hulk Is Ultimate Reed Richards

[SpeedofLife]

Well, stranger things have happened. But one Little Bleeder writes in, who has never written in before, telling me that they overheard Marvel staff members in New York gossiping that the new Hulk will actually be the Ultimate Reed Richards character, the psychopathic teenage genius from the Ultimate Universe.

I don't think is true, but BC was recently right about Ben joining the Guardians, so who knows...

You don't replace a white straight man with another white straight man.

The new Hulk will be a transgender, count on it!

Doesn't Bruce have a time travelling daughter stuck in the present? Maybe it's her

Nah, leave Ultimate Richards alone. He's too great of a villain to turn him into a hulk.

I hope this isn't the case. Reed is an amazing villain and character in his own right. Not need to turn him into a cheap imitation of another iconic character. Plus, it doesn't even make sense and would confuse more new readers than it needs to:

Instead of just having to know that the Maker is an evil alternate universe version of Reed Richards, now they would have to know that the HULK is not only NOT Bruce Banner, but rather an evil alternate universe version of Reed Richards who didn't START OUT as the Hulk but rather has the stretchy powers that you would expect but then LATER ON turned into the Hulk.

No thanks.

So Bruce Jenner is confirmed for 616 Hulk?
