Publication history

The Devil Hulk was created by Paul Jenkins, Ron Garney, and Sal Buscema. He first appeared in The Incredible Hulk Vol.2 (1999).

Fictional character history

He is the malevolent personality of Bruce Banner, personifying all of Banner's resentment at the way he is treated by the world. The Devil Hulk is also one of the Hulk's enemies, constantly threatening to escape confinement in Banner's mind and destroy the world that has tormented and abused them, simultaneously leaving nothing intact that Banner holds dear.

It first appeared when Banner was dying of Lou Gehrig's Disease, Banner using a machine to travel into his mind and make a deal with the three dominant Hulks that they would gain control of his body once the disease became too much for him to bear, while leaving him able to influence them enough to stop them from doing anything he wouldn't want them to do (If he hadn't done that, every Hulk in his subconscious would have gained access to the real world when his own mind 'died'). The Devil was revealed at this point, but he only escaped a short while afterwards, when the machinations of General Ryker shattered the barriers keeping the Devil imprisoned in Bruce's psyche. Fortunately, the Devil was contained long enough for a cure for Banner's condition to be found, before finally being contained in Banner's subconscious by Banner himself, the Savage Hulk and Joe Fixit, the Professor Hulk remaining out in the real world to help scientists such as Doc Samson and Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four find a cure for the disease using samples taken from the corpse of Brian Banner.

During the Chaos War storyline, Brian Banner returns from the dead and ends up becoming his version of the Devil Hulk.[1]

Powers and abilities

Like the traditional Hulk, he possesses superhuman strength and stamina. However, he appears to be stronger than any of the previously-introduced Hulks; when he attempted to escape while Banner was being treated for a presumably-incurable disease, it took both the Savage Hulk and the Joe Fixit Hulk to hold him down. However, since this was on the mental plane, it is most likely simply reflecting the force of the Devil's will compared to the more childish Hulks and the subsequent effort needed for the weaker-willed personas to hold him down rather than providing a clear indication of their actual physical strength.

Video games

  • Devil Hulk appears as the boss in The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction voiced by Richard Moll. In the game, the Devil Hulk is attempting to gain control of Banner's body, claiming to be a natural stage in the gamma-evolution process, and regarding the Hulk as a frightened child crying out to be loved. However, with the aid of his ally Doc Samson, Banner is able to construct a machine that allows him to enter his mind and battle the Devil Hulk at the 'Crossroads' level. The Hulk defeated the Devil Hulk in single combat despite his foe's vastly superior size and power.
