Questions & Discussion About Hulk-Outs

[Prophet Tenebrae]

5. Changes to the status quo - assuming you're interested in more than just
the instant gratification of the money shot - should our be-hulked ladies just be stuck undergoing the same hulk-outs or should things change - such as the nature of her transformation, triggers, duration, relationship with her alter-ego, nature of alter-ego, powers/abilities... that kind of thing.

In fact, there seems a great deal of potential for a very literal character development with a hulk type story. Our heroine finds herself cursed to transform into a mindless brute... but what if that mindless brute starts to get to become mindful and stops being so much of a brute?

It's something that they KIND of did with She-Hulk in Marvel but really she was never more than just a pissed off Jen Walters and after a while, she calmed down... and of course, now it takes something pretty serious to get her jimmies rustled but then, they've got Lyra AND Betty if they want feminine Hulk rage.

Actually, the issue of the personhood of the Hulk is one you never REALLY see addressed when it comes to curing Hulks... if one assumes they are functionally a separate individual (and that happened pretty recently in the comics and wasn't even the first time), then isn't a cure effectively KILLING the persona? I suppose given the fact cures either don't work or get undone lickity split make it a non-issue...

Well, unless of course it's a situation like Hulked Out Heroes where they're established characters, where obviously they'll be be back to normal in time for tea with absolutely no consequences.
