I haven't read planet hulk at all, but i was wondering if once he clears his crap up out in space he might come back to earth and be looking for iron man and a little payback?

Im not just waiting for this to happen, i want this to happen. I can't wait to see Hulk come back in a Emperor Hulk style after ruling the world he is on right now.

i'm not so sure , with the planet Hulk event supposed to last a whole year .
Besides it would severly change the outcome of the War . Any side Hulk pick , if he picks any (unlikely given that the illuminati are in both) would win .
However its more than a probability that some payback is in order , once back on Earth ,after CW , and at the end of Planet Hulk .

I could see it being used, Hulk's return, as a end to the civil war. I mean, seriously, does anyone expect one side to win? I doubt it. Hulk comes back, beats up everyone, regardless of side, and both sides join to defeat the hulk. I don't know how this will clear up the registration issue, but it sure would put an end to the war.

I think we've known for a while that Hulk won't return until after Civil War.

He can't return during Civil War. His story runs until April. He can't pause the action and decide to go kick everybody's ass on earth and then just head back to Sakaar to finish things up. When he gets back he will kick the crap out of everyone. That's the best time for it. Everyone is recovering from Civil War then all of a sudden BAM!!! Here's Hulk completing destroying everything and everyone.
And on a sidenote, they did say there was a definite winner. I don't totally understand why no one can see a true winner. I personally think almost certainly that the government will win this one and the bill will become law because it would completely change everything and make a ton of new stories for the future. I can't see it having a long term effect on the MU if the only thing that occurs is the anti-registration guys win and everything stays the way it was before the war.

Hulk returning right after the pro-registration side transforms all the heroes into SHIELD agents would certainly be an interesting situation. Though Hulk will be mad, he may have a whole lot of opposition on his hands when all is said and done.
As for the Registration... I can see the pro-Registration side winning. But I'm not sure if they'll keep this thing around long term. I think it'll create a years worth of interesting stories, followed by next years big Summer cross over where the whole thing falls apart and the status quo returns. I just can't see the heroes being government agents lasting indefinately.

I imagine next years crossover will be a mixing of the SHIELD heros and the cosmic one against some unknown foe. And the mini event will be rebel heros versus Hulk, because the SHIELD heros will be busy in space..just a guess.

I think when Hulk returns he'll make a B line for Iron Man and Reed Richards since they convininetly identified themselves right after launching him in space. So I see any Hulk related event dealing more with the SHIELD heroes since that's where Tony and Reed will be.
After Iron Man and his buddes probably spending the SUmmer smacking the rebel heroes around I'll bet they'd actually be ROOTING for the Hulk.

Good point. I just assumed there would be some sort of epic event SHIELD decides to send in thier big guns for, meannwhile hulk shows up on rampage while the people he's after are gone.

Why would Hulk retaliate again? Wasn't it revealed that if Banner could kill himself, he would have?

He'd retaliate because Hulk isn't always (ever?) quite as forgiving as Banner is.

Why would Hulk be mad at Iron Man ? Was he the one who caused him to be exiled ?

from what I've heard he tricked him into a space shuttle and sent him into space. Am I right guys?

What if SHIELD sends some captured protesters to this Planet Hulk for exile as well?

It was the Illuminati (though Namor protected the act and even threatened the others if they acted against Hulk).

No chance during CW, at least by what Marvel is saying but I am sure it will be a big deal when he comes back.

Hulk returns!! will be Marvel's next big event. However Civil War ends the Marvel Universe is going to be different...and the gov't will get a chance to see if they did the right things..when a very angry Hulk comes back to town.
I am REALLY looking forward to this.

dont forget the Sentry is supposedly on the pro-registration side. so we may see an uber-ticked off hulk/sentry fight.

A few thoughts:
1. If Marvel's been up-front about the scheduling, unless Hulk returns to Earth and goes back to the planet to which he was exiled in the middle of PLANET HULK, he can't return during Civil War.
2. If memory serves, Reed Richards, Iron Man, Black Bolt, and Doctor Strange were all on the monitor when they transmitted the video feed to his shuttle, telling him what they were doing to him. So, he's probably going to have a bone to pick specifically with those four. I wouldn't rule out, however, a Hulk/Namor fight after PLANET HULK. Yes, Namor opposed the exile, but A) Hulk doesn't know that and B) wouldn't believe Namor in a million years if he told him, that's assuming, of course, that Hulk finds out what the Illuminati is and that Namor is a member and C) wouldn't give a crap even if he did believe him, should Namor try to defend his fellow Illuminati members. I didn't read the New Avengers: Illuminati one-shot. Did Professor X know about the exile? He wasn't on the screen in the first issue of PLANET HULK.
3. As much as I'm craving a little Hulk revenge, I almost hope the post-Civil War, Hulk vs. Every-freaking-body event that Marvel has been hinting at DOESN'T happen. Why? Two reasons 1) I don't doubt that Marvel would give us a few thorough Hulk-smashings of certain heroes, but if he comes back looking to conquer, we all know there's no way he's going to be allowed to win. Marvel isn't going to impose a FUTURE IMPERFECT world, with Hulk on the throne, on the entire MU. At best, he trounces a few heroes, is thwarted, and either returns to space or goes back to the status quo of being hounded by heroes and villains alike on Earth. At worst, they may actually have the heroes kick his butt. They may even have Hulk kill a hero or two, which is good or bad depending on your tastes. 2) PLANET HULK rocks, and as much as I want to see the Hulk tear the Illuminati to shreds, I think these kind of grand adventure epics are the perfect home for the Hulkster. I'd almost rather he stay in space. If I had to choose between getting some great Hulk stories for the next few years, and having him kick a few heroes hineys and then go back to the status quo, I ain't choosing the latter.

Damn...If Hulk ever DID come back...uh oh!:eek: Takes Cap's side, wreaks holy hell...
...I know he's NOT coming back but still...the registration would take a MAJOR back seat...You've got one pissed off Hulk (more P.O.ed than he's ever been) wanting some payback...and he's one guy who gets what he wants...

Check the Marvel Universe board, there's been a lot of discussion of his return. It won't happen during Civil War, they have already said that. From what has been teased, sometime next Summer.

This wouldnt happen. Sentry is supposedly the only one who truly understands the Hulk, and the Hulk really likes Sentry. What you should be wondering is what will happen when the Hulk does indeed come back runs into Sentry, lets him know whats been going on and the immediate aftermath. Remember Sentry and Mr. Fantastic were best friends...Richards is one of the people responsible for sending the Hulk away and hasnt let Sentry in on the whereabouts of Banner. Sentry & Hulk v. The Illumanti...its coming!

I doubt Hulk will make it back for the war. The second four issue arc of planet hulk is only on issue two. But if and when he makes it back there needs to be a serious Hulk revenge storyline. It'd be awesome if he just went on a rampage and went after the illuminati.

I completely agree with this. I've felt like the hulk book has been weak for a long time. Its pretty much been a formula of hulk is good, hulk is bad, hulk destroys stuff, hulk is good. I personally think that Planet hulk has been awesome so far. Its been the best hulk story in quite some time. Its great to actually see some purpose in the hulk stories other then him smashing stuff. If he does come back to earth I think it'll be cool if he goes on a illuminati hunt although if at the end of that he goes back to the normal hulk smash mentality I'll be very dissapointed.

silly me, I was convinced picking up 96 that this 4 parter would end with issue 100 = Hulks return to Earth which would also coincide 3/4 months from now with conclusion of Civil War. But I guess if Marvel says he's there til next summer, then that must be the case.
This thread reminded me though that when I was reading Illimunati and looking at all the people included in the very first meeting (Mr. Fantastic, Prof. X, Black Bolt, Iron Man, Namor, Black Panther, and Dr. Strange) I was trying to figure out if anyone was left out. And now that I think about it, shouldn't Bruce Banner have been invited as well. I don't know the Hulk's history so well, and I'm certainly just guessing that Bruce was a respected mind and scientist, among his peers (Reed Richards, Tony Stark, yadda) and the only reason he wasn't invited is to make way for this episode where they send him to space.
I guess the answer is either, he's not a member of a team (Iron Man represents Avengers), but neither is Namor, Black Panther, nor Dr. Strange.
Or simply that at the time they were meeting, the Hulk was just as unmanageable as he is now, and nobody wanted to include him.
Does my question make sense?

Couldn't Hulk come back to earth, and it show it in the Civil War AND the Hulk comics? Okay, that was kind of hard to get out, but what I am trying to say is that the Hulk could bring his army with him, and continue a semi-planet hulk type of storyline. In the civil war comics, they have multiple comics revolving around the same fight but from different perspectives. They could do this for the hulk. Have him planning his return in Planet Hulk and have his invasion from the hulk's eyes in the hulk comic, and have like what reed sees in the fantastic four comic. They can definitely have another planet hulk arc with him coming back home and messing people up IMHO as long as it involves the people he met in the earlier planet hulk arcs.

I heard that there may be an appearance from Banner before the end of civil war. How this would pan out, I don't know. Possibly Banner and the Hulk could separate into separate beings, or Banner could try to send a emergency call back to earth via hologram.

So Many people complain about the Hulk being Exiled..I mean He only Killed 26 People and Destroyed Las Vegas! It was either Exile or Kill him .. There was no other option.. And if the Hulk returns in HULK SMASH MODE I hope Sheild Thor the Mighty Avengers simply kill him but they wont :p

08-14-2006, 02:36 AM
I can't even believe I'm gonna write this (shameful) but I would like it if Hulk came back, did the HULK SMASH!!! thing, have a few words with Jen and then went back throught the portal.
I don't think for ever though that would be very bad...long enough to become supreme emperor and then returns (new story line: Supreme Emperor Hulk and his fleet of warships) hehehe...

Someone is going to find out where's the HULK ?
Just read the solicts for Hulk #100:
INCREDIBLE HULK #100
Written by GREG PAK
Penciled by CARLO PAGULAYAN & GARY FRANK
Cover by LADRÖNN
Variant cover by MIKE TURNER
A special, HULK-sized issue commemorating 100 issues of gamma-irradiated goodness with two big stories:
Planet Hulk, Allegiance, Part 1 — Is he the Sakaarson, destined to save the planet from its greatest enemies, or the Worldbreaker, the legendary destroyer of everything? The HULK continues his epic story on Planet Sakaar. In this issue, the HULK and Caiera the Oldstrong lead their warriors in an all-out battle against the horrifying Spikes.
But even with the Hulk growing stronger, how can he and his warriors prevail against an enemy that consumes and possesses everything it touches? Featuring another shocking development in the story of Miek — and further hints about the identity of the Sakaarson — and the Worldbreaker.
Plus, a 12-page back-up featuring the return of one of HULK’s greatest artists, Gary Frank, as someone discovers that the Illuminati were responsible for sending the Hulk into space! Also reprints Incredible Hulk (vol. 1) #152 and #300!
The only two questions are that is the Hulk going to be a savior or a destoryer and that who will find out the truth and what will the judgement be for the action taken upon it ?
Now read what I asked Tom Brevoort about the back-up story:
And speaking of Iron Man in the solicts of the Hulk # 100, it contains a backstory explaining that one person will discover what truly happens to the Hulk, my question is that will it occur during Civil War ?
Yes.
Tom B
So the secret will soon be reveal but the question is who will find out the truth about the Hulk's exile and how will the judge the decision on what the heroes did to him ?

However its more than a probability that some payback is in order , once back on Earth ,after CW , and at the end of Planet Hulk . not neccasaryly if he chooses anti he might lose for the fact thor is with pro as far as we know. if he chooses pro (and he wont) then we still win. unless cap can prove that sheild is corrupt are even show that they are. I am finding it really hard to believe anti has a chance at all! that's just my opoinoin.

I wonder if the Hulk prolonged tranformation will have a forever lasting effect. I personally have never read or heard mention of the bruce being the hulk for so long. I wonder if this is finally the time for Bruce to gain control of the Hulk of for Hulk to finally learn or adopt consciousness in the sense that he can control himself.
