Incredible vs. Abominable

Few are aware that Our Hero counts the arch-fiend Superman as his number one adversary. But if there is a runner-up in the super-being universe, it is the lumbering emerald Man-Slab known by thousands as Hulk. Nicknamed "The Incredible" by witless schoolchildren, Hulk is probably the only person ever to take on yeti and not do so by resorting to name-calling. For that, he is an honorable and semi-admirable foe. Hulk the Credible (as we call him) is a shameless nudist and former cut-throat (look into his criminal past; we did, and we shuddered). But he has the face and smile of the most innocent simpleton and is only green because he can't help it. Hulk, we hate you, but we salute you. And, we make you pay.



Here Hulk suddenly finds himself cowering underneath both white and brown varieties. This is like one of those Russian Dolls with the smaller and smaller dolls inside bigger dolls. The metaphor stops there.


How quickly Hulk thinks to murder someone who is clearly a brother to some lady! The "incredible" nerve of him!
