Gray Hulk

I’ve been trying to give my True Believers posts a personal touch, so let me tell you about MY favorite Hulk.  I was talking to my All New Marvel Roundup & Superconnectivity cohost Charlie  a few weeks ago and we discovered we shared a mutual fondness for the character of the gray Hulk.  Gray Hulk?  You thought the Hulk was green?  The gray Hulk actually predates the green as he was gray in his first appearance in Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962). 

Thunderbolts (Justice Like Lightning)

The year was 1997.  The Avengers and the Fantastic Four were missing presumed dead (they were in the midst of Heroes Reborn).  The citizens of the Marvel Universe were scared.  Who would protect them the next time Galactus or someone decided to attack?  Spider-Man? Daredevil?  Those untrustworthy mutants in the X-Men?  Then a new team appeared.  Their first mission was to battle a rampaging, now Bruce Banner-less Hulk in Incredible Hulk #449 (January 1997).
