Yee who were worthy of illustrating such luminaries as Thor and Captain America, such villains as Deathstroke and Brainiac, such clowns as Beast Boy (and Beast), such vixens as Starfire and Wonder Woman. We knew yee.

Tonight, James and James honour the passing of George Perez with a look at his 1992 collaboration with Peter David on The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect.

"This had better be good."

On this especially nutty episode of Always Room For Moore Podcast(ARFMP), Chris talks about one of his guilty pleasures. The fast and furious movie franchise he discusses his thoughts on the Paul Walker incident and how it was handled in the series. As well as how batshit crazy those movies get, and as our episode goes on the Moore our conversations get batshit crazy.

Patron Ruby requested we cover Jen Walters, aka SHE-HULK! Why does a successful attorney prefer to be green? Why does she keep relationships short & easy? Plus another five-star review from a happy fan. Listen now!

• Intro

  • Shout-out to Pod Sound School for the audit & help and Collateral Gaming for being awesome

• Background (04:44)

  • She-Hulk created by Stan Lee & John Buscema in Savage She-Hulk #1 (February 1980)

  • Created to prevent anyone else from having rights to female version of Hulk

  • Jen Walters, a lawyer and cousin of Bruce Banner, got shot by goons of a crime boss she was making a case against – Bruce, who was visiting her when she was shot, gave her a blood transfusion to save her life – she raged out when the mobsters came to the hospital to finish her off, and became She-Hulk

  • Comes to embrace the She-Hulk form, and prefers the confidence it gives her over her “normal” look, which was much more shy

  • Joined the Fantastic Four to replace the temporarily depowered Thing – during this time, exposure to radiation meant she could never return to her human form

  • Thanks to a hex from the Scarlet Witch, Jen goes mad and ends up destroying an Idaho town in a fight with Bruce, who gets blamed for all the damage

  • Later joins a prestigious law firm, who wants her as Jen Walters – she reluctantly agrees to remain human while working for the firm, and begins dating a coworker, Augustus Pugliese

  • Gets disbarred after a client, who she defended for murder, confessed he was guilty and showed photos, leading her to hulk out and attack him

  • Joins the Future Foundation for a time

• Issues (12:04)

  • Uncomfortable as Jen – much prefers She-Hulk, and considers Jen weak

  • Relationships tend to be short-term – not inherently bad, but it means she avoids stronger connections (20:38)

  • Living in the moment creates problems if she has to plan long-term (30:03)

• Break (38:13)

  • Plugs for Frigay the 13^th and Play Comics

• Treatment (39:50)

  • In-universe

  • Out of universe

• Skit (49:30)

• Ending

We cover the Incredible Hulk. And for a character this large, we need help, so we called upon our friends at Popcorn Psychology to guest host with us! This is our biggest and most fun episode yet, with a group therapy session you'll have to hear to believe! Listen now!

SHOW NOTES:

• Introduction

• Background

  • Created by Stan Lee (RIP) and Jack Kirby in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962)

  • Robert Bruce Banner saves young Rick Jones from detonation of a gamma bomb, but in the process gets hit with radiation – when angered or stressed, turns into a large green (originally gray) hulking creature

  • Goes on to help found the Avengers, but leaves team shortly thereafter because of inability to cooperate with other heroes

  • Military discovers Hulk’s true identity and begins a hunt for him, led by General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross and Major Glenn Talbot

  • Banner is in love with Betty Ross, the General’s daughter, but she also has feelings for Talbot

  • Banner’s control over the Hulk, and the Hulk’s intelligence, waxed & waned throughout the decades

  • At one point in the mid-1980s, Banner and the Hulk were two separate entities, but were eventually rejoined in 1986

  • Later “Joe Fixit”, a Vegas enforcer and handyman was introduced, as another persona

  • In the 1990s, the different versions of the Hulk and Banner merge into the “Professor” persona – contains Banner’s intelligence, Grey Hulk’s cunning, and Savage Hulk’s power

  • 2006 – Planet Hulk/World War Hulk – the Illuminati decide Hulk is too dangerous and send him away – intended to go to desolate planet, but crashes on Sakaar – he becomes champion of the planet, and gets married to Caiera, who gives him 2 sons – she dies, and Hulk returns to Earth to take revenge on Illuminati

  • Bruce is shot in the head, and Iron Man used Extremis technology to heal him – this had the side effect of creating Doc Green, a super-intelligent Hulk

  • Original Sin – we discover that Tony Stark altered the gamma bomb that created the Hulk, but it’s later revealed that his tampering ensured the bomb wouldn’t disintegrate everyone within the blast radius, so Tony saved Bruce’s life

  • Axis – Inverted morality Bruce becomes Kluh, who handily defeats rest of the Avengers until Brother Voodoo is resurrected and Wanda’s inversion is undone

  • All-New Hulk – Amadeus Cho becomes the new Hulk, after using nanites to absorb the Hulk and leave Banner alone

  • Civil War II – Banner is killed by Hawkeye, who revealed that Banner ordered Hawkeye to kill him if he ever tried to turn back into the Hulk

  • Banner was mystically resurrected a few times since then for use in battle, but always returned to death

  • Recently revealed that Banner is alive, and the Hulk has returned

• Issues (24:36)

  • A metaphor for impulse control disorders, especially intermittent explosive

  • Radiation doesn’t turn you into the Hulk – what does it do?

  • Paranoia over constantly being hunted/tracked

  • Dissociation of different identities/personas

  • Reluctant hero – like many others, doesn’t want this power/responsibility

• Treatment (59:59)

  • In-universe

  • Out of universe (78:12)

• Skit (97:02)
