View Full Version : RIP OFF!: Devise the worst possible ending for World War Hulk.

I'm sure you all remember the Spider-Clone saga of the 1990s where it was revealed that we all knew and loved -- and who had been Spider-Man for the entire lives of the lion's share of his readership -- had been a clone and fake since 1974.

Naturally this pissed alot of readers off, to be told that you'd possibly been reading "PETER PARKER, THE FAKE SPIDER-MAN" for over 20 years. That's the sort of thing that can really turn someone off from comics and the outcry was such that Marvel retconned their retcon, and made Peter the real Peter again and Ben Reilly went away.

Now, for the fun of it, I'd like you all to come up with the biggest "rip-off" ending for WORLD WAR HULK that would piss off everyone, make fans rip out their hair and walk away from anything Hulk for years to come. It has to be bad... A revelation...a crappy retcon...a lame anti-climactic finale..

Here's mine:

It's revealed that the Hulk that we've been reading for years has actually been the Space Phantom all along and the real Hulk has been floating in limbo since AVENGERS #2 in 1962 and that this was the real reason we saw the flashback in the WORLD WAR HULK PROLOGUE.

How about you? What is the worst possible rip off ending for WWH?

Tony convinces the Hulk that he's a nice guy who always means well, and he joins the Initiative, alien crew included.

I don't know. 40 odd years of the Space Phantom - he'd have to have a lot of patience to stay Hulk that long.


I'd be more recent than that. We know Rick Jones is going to play a big part in WWH, so how about this. Rick Breaks into the 42, takes the Captain Marvel Bands back, and sends Hulk into the Negative Zone, in exchange for himself as Hulk. We get a weepy strong green Rick with relationship issues, and Bruce Banner in a little cell, watching reruns of I Love Lucy.

The entire Peter David run and Planet Hulk would have been starring a fake Hulk!

I actually liked that part of the Clone Saga storyline. Really, they were both the same person at the time of the cloning, so it is impossible to say that one is fake and the other isn't. They were only differentiated by their lives after the cloning.

But, the biggest rip off ending would be for Hulk to discover that Guilt Hulk or Devil Hulk was the killer and, in a fit of grief fueled rage, tears his own head off his shoulders in an attempt to kill his evil counterpart. Severed Hulk head forced Banner to take control before he can grow a new body, and they all die. But, Hulk's Body is still in hulk form and its healing factor allow it to grow a new head. His brand new brain is a Tabaula Rasa, leaving him without any memories, skills, or personality. This completely fixes Hulk's anger management problems and DID issues, but leaves him mentally a newborn baby in a Hulk body.

Since the old Hulk is dead and the new one is essentially an innocent infant, Reed Richards forgoes his plan to shoot Hulk into space again and instead he adopts Baby Hulk. She Hulk handles the legal issues surrounding the adoption, Brood becomes their live-in nanny, Korg gets a job as a freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle, Hirom joins the initiative, Arch-E starts a romantic relationship with one of Stark's old sentient armors, Elloe goes back to Sakaar to become the Red Queen, and Sue is put into mortal peril by ill-advised attempts to breastfeed a hulk-strength baby.

Seeing the destruction he made in New York, Hulk suddenly realizes he's completely wrong and the Illuminatti completely right, orders his troops to stop fighting, surrenders himself and is taken to jail. One week later, he's shot dead by the Abomination. The End.

Joking aside, I think the worst possible ending would be if Iron Man found a way to take down Hulk, that would just suck so many balls it's not even worth thinking about...

Joking not aside: How bout if Hulk fights all the Marvel U superheroes to a standstill, and just as he's about to strike the killing blow to Iron Man, the other heroes looking on in horror, Tony pulls from a secret Iron compartment under his arm in his 'Iron Pit' nothing other than.....Hostess fruit pies!!
Hiroim and Miek briefly fight over who gets the Lemon one, then after a brief tussle Hulk smacks them both and eats it anyways. Then they all chow down, Hulk falls asleep with cherry filling on his face, and they shoot him into a black Hole. The End.

If he hasn't, then I'll be dissappointed in him.

They might even pull out a switched over Civil War ending, where Tony's about to do something bad to Hulk, or even Banner, and someone stops him and shows him how much of a psychopath he's been.

Worst WWH ending ever.. ripping off the worst televised ending ever.

Right in the middle of the climactic battle between Iron Man and the Hulk, Aunt May steps out of the shower, goes downstairs sees Tony Stark and Captain America eating breakfast at the same table and sees a copy of the daily bugle attacking Spider-Man for being a masked vigilante and the last couple years have been nothing but a dream sequence.

Hostess Lemon Pie eats Hulk from the inside completely, cuz we never knew that artificial lemon flavoring thrived on gamma radiation. Banner separates from Hulk and runs away, only to be killed by the rogue Cherry Pie who is infused with the AI of the Supreme Intelligence.

The Avengers, the FF and the X-Men get involved, but only briefly, as they are wasted by a giant Twinkie cloned by Mr. Sinister, who is shortly killed himself by a turkey pot pie created by Dr. Doom, who has always hated snack cakes and everything they stood for.

Take that, Richards.

I'm more inclined to the dream sequence ending, too.

All this really started when the decision was made to send the Hulk into space. Then the CW started; (a little sequence with the Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye); Cap has this instantaneous backflip; Cap gets assassinated; (is any of this starting to sound the least bizarre so far?); Hank Pym wins the Nobel prize; Iron Man becomes head of Shield; (still no bells ringing?); all the heros get round up, like licence renegers; bad guys don't know what to do; and now we're thinking up worst possible endings for WWH.

I mean, Bizarro World!!

Oh my god, you may have a point here... They do look a little alike!!

Brian Banner (Hulks father)
http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/bannerbrian2.jpg

Tony Stark
http://www.hembeck.com/Images/FredSez/IronManSmoking375.jpg

They are starkingly similar in appearance (STARKingly, get it?) SO, now we have a case of Tony STark using Doctor Dooms time machine to go back in time and impregnate Bruce Banners mom, which, of course, was his grand scheme all along...

Now Iron Man can look at Hulk dead in the eyes and say "Who's yo daddy, punk?!?" and Hulk can't say SQUAT.

I'd also like to note that not only is Iron Man a total @$$hole for supporting the registration act and all that hooey, but he's also an extremely bad example to the youth of America today regarding the hazards of smoking. We're so disappointed in you Tony...

In the middle of the battle, Tony Stark bursts out crying and says they knew Hulk was right all along. Hulk never killed those people, he was just brainwashed every single time. The Illuminati and the Hulk all burst out crying and forgive one another, and the Illuminati exile themselves to a foreign planet instead while Hulk becomes Director of SHIELD.

Hulk gets to the 4th issue then suddenly a crate appears...

In the crate is a distant 8 yr old cousin called bobby banner who turns into HULKY DOO and they have wacky adventures battling the illumanaunties

The public soon lose interest at such a contrived marketing device to get the younger readers (Note: even more than powerpack)

And the hulk loses ALL credibility...Turning him into the Uncredible Hulk.

I think the worse ending will be Hulk tries to go overboard and his warbound allies try to reason with him and in a fit of anger kills them all before finally realizing his anger is a double edged sword and flees to gain some inner balance.

Comic worse ending though?

In a guest issue written by Hudlin, Black Panther shows up and fights the Hulk whose somehow racist as well as very angry and somehow wins.

Hulk is offered his own talk show.

Hulk becomes aware that he's just a comic book character and decides to give up this life of fighting for wacky adventures like "The Incredible Shrinking Hulk", "Hulk and Son" or "Get Hulk" where he goes to hollywood.

Hulk reveals he's always loved Spider-man but can't stand the man behind the mask, Peter Parker.

Out of nowhere Hulk and all his warbound are ambushed by Johnny Ohm and the imperfects! After a battle that lasts less then one page, they beat Hulk with no effort, and its revealed that the entire WWH series was nothing but an extended advertisement for a sequel to 2005's Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the imperfects.

The members of the Illuminati (including Blackbolt who inexplicably reappears after being brutally murdered in issue 1) join forces and easily destroy the Hulk and his troops. We learn this when Iron Man walks out of a lake carrying the Hulk's head, which winks at us.

Suddenly, the Hulk's green blood (left all over the city) grows into miniture Hulks. Hundreds of 3 ft. tall Hulks take over the world in a matter of hours. When the smoke clears, Nick Fury appears and gives a long evil laugh. He punches Tony out and regains control of Shield (employed only with tiny Hulks), which is now a fascist dictatorship of Earth.

Captain America comes back to life and joins Fury in ruling over the world. They both take off their faces (masks!!) and reveal themself as Tony Stark and Reed Richards. Doom curses them for their evil doings and Iron Man shoots a missile at him, destroying him forver. The other Tony Stark shoots himself upon learning he was a clone.

Peter Parker leads a band of rebels to confront SHIELD, but quickly goes insane upon learning that he himself was a clone since the early 60's. Out of the shadows appears the REAL Spiderman with an unaged Uncle Ben. They throw rocks at him. Meanwhile the tiny Hulk's die off somehow.

We fade out and discover the Marvel Universe (and all its multiverses) were actually the imagination of an autistic child in a hospital, manifested through a snow-globe.

-Iron Man does his voodoo over the Sentry, and gets Sentry to take out the Hulk and the Warbound.

-Black Bolt, Stark, and Pro X are mysteriously teleported away before the Hulk can deal a final blow. They wind up in the Sanctum Sanctorum. Dr. Strange, mumbling something about "HELLO! Sorceror SUPREME here!" casts a spell to teleport the Hulk and his army to another dimension. The event is spun into the SHRA being the right thing to do.

-Miek is revealed as a traitor, which causes Hulk to re-think his vendetta and call off the troops, or snap and lose the Warbound.

-Hulk is beaten by Wolverine in the X-Men spin-off. Wolverine is heralded as the World Breaker-Breaker or the Sakaarson Reborn by the Warbound as they leave Hulk's bloody mass behind.

-Black Panther gets involved.

It is discovered that a member of the Hulk's own warbound party is responsible for destroying his planet. He kills all of his former allies with the help of the Illuminati. Afterwards, Tony and Hulk take a trip to the wilderness of the Savage Land, to "get away". Isolated, Tony begins telling Hulk all about his feelings and fears regarding SHIELD, his drinking problem, and his problems with women. The Hulk realizes he has so much in common with Tony. Under moonlight, the Hulk and Tony look into eachother's eyes longingly, and see in eachother what they've been missing their whole miserable lives. They inexplicably both don cowboy hates. The scene goes black and we see Tony and Hulk the next morning spooning, Tony turns to Hulk with a huge smile "I can't quit you."

I'm sure you all remember the Spider-Clone saga of the 1990s where it was revealed that we all knew and loved -- and who had been Spider-Man for the entire lives of the lion's share of his readership -- had been a clone and fake since 1974.

Naturally this pissed alot of readers off, to be told that you'd possibly been reading "PETER PARKER, THE FAKE SPIDER-MAN" for over 20 years. That's the sort of thing that can really turn someone off from comics and the outcry was such that Marvel retconned their retcon, and made Peter the real Peter again and Ben Reilly went away.

Now, for the fun of it, I'd like you all to come up with the biggest "rip-off" ending for WORLD WAR HULK that would piss off everyone, make fans rip out their hair and walk away from anything Hulk for years to come. It has to be bad... A revelation...a crappy retcon...a lame anti-climactic finale..

How about you? What is the worst possible rip off ending for WWH?

Okay, here's my attempt:

Hulk (with Banner in control of the Hulk form) was secretly a member of the Illuminati all along. They pretended to shoot Hulk into space against his will so Hulk could covertly destroy several alien races that threatened the Earth. And this was a practice run for a much bigger plan. Next the Illuminati are planning to destroy the Skrulls and The Krees. And next time they will send Namor off into space to do the deed. Namor refuses and the Illuminati kidnap and put him in a coma, buried under the ocean, and replace him with his WW2 clone, Subby. In order to trick Namor and get close enough to disable him, Namorita, who faked her death at Stamford in order to help get the registration act passed, pretends to be her mother, recently returned from the dead, - Namora. Namorita, pretending to be Namora, flirts with Namor and drugs him into a coma, so the Illuminati can kidnap and replace him. And Subby, who has secretly been working for SHIELD for decades, pretends to be Namor and the Illuminati shot him into space to destroy the Skrulls and The Kree.

Hulk from the Ultimates Universe show up and he and Hulk 616 fight.
They knock the hate out of each other and are best friends.
Ant-man ends the issue, saying "Like peace man, real peace!"

In the terrible battle that takes place, Bruce Banner's beloved cousin Jennifer Walters, one of the very few last people Banner feels he can trust and confide in, gets killed, and Hulk simply can't take it anymore.
His anger is so great and his blood is pumping with so much rage, frustration and despair that his heart simply bursts and he dies.

And thus, the two most famous Gamma-enhanced people on Earth are no more.

Near the end, when the Hulk confronts Tony Stark, he throws a punch so hard that it alters the time/space continuum and reverts the Marvel universe back to the way it was before Civil War.

Superboy watches from the sidelines and says "daaammmn...."

The worst ending of WWH, would be Hawkeye defeating the Hulk with a Nega gamma arrow there by forcing the Hulk to transform back into Bruce Banner, with She-Hulk delivering the blow that would knock him out, there by ending the war.


Oh and Clint and Jen Punches Tony and Reed for their involvement with the exile. :D

The Hulk we have all known and loved for the past two decades is actually one of the clones created by Arnim Zola. The real Hulk has been in South America for the past 20 years and comes back just in time to stop the menacing copy when the cosmically powered Adolph Hitler is attracted by the clone Hulk's unbounded rage and uses his hate-enhancing abilities to drive it to genocide.

Hulk wins, killing the Illuminati members who exiled him after confirming that they did intentionally blow up the ship after learning that Hulk wasn't on the planet that they sent him to. Then, he and the warbound rid off on motorcycles and they're shot by rednecks in a pickup truck.

The Hulk's fleet gets thrown off course and wind up in an alternate Universe Earth where that version of the Hulk has already won and overtaken the planet.
He then has to aid the rebels on this Earth who are the members of the Illuminati. Tony Stark makes a HulkBuster armor for the "out of time" Hulk to use on the Hulk Dictator. He wins and marries the She-Hulk, saying it's not incest because it's a different universe so they can't be blood related.

The End

Hulk arrives and offers them the opportunity to negotiate an outcome. Given what he's done to Black Bolt, they take it. We then get five issues of diplomacy, debate, and deliberation. At the end, the Hulk is allowed to take over the Blue Zone on the moon.

No punches ever get thrown after the first issue, except in flashbacks.

The Hulk surrenders, and gets shot on the courthouse steps.

What? Like it's not possible Marvel will repeat such a crappy ass ending again so soon?

Actually, in concept the Clone Saga was original. Replace the main character with himself. I hated it, then, but I can see what they were going for.

As for this Hulk War thing, I don't see it being much of anything story-wise. Civil War was just a bunch of stuff that happened. Not very well thought out.

The Hulk is raging through the streets until he meets She-Hulk who starts crying and falls to her knees in front of him going : 'what did they do to you Bruce?':(

At this point she reaches under his short shorts and gives him happy time, thereby turning him back to Bruce. They then walk off together into the sunset, hand in (sticky) hand.

This is watched carefully by Sage who nods to herself with a smile, everything had turned exactly as she had planned for the last decade.

There is nothing worse than this. Seriously, its not possible.

Hulk, in the heat of the conflict, trashing the hell out of Iron Man and his army, just ups and says

"Hey, I think there's a fire in a villiage back there. Guys, we might have caused it. We better surrender."

Bruce Banner then gets assassinated by Betty Ross(wasn't she dead!? Who cares!) on the steps of a courthouse after the Leader also tries to off him.

Iron Man ultimately decides, "It wasn't worth it".

Fans everywhere rejoice with glee:

ALTERNATE ENDING

Hulk, after performing so well in his War, gets a movie deal playing Leonidas in a remake of 300. People all over the world fail to realise Frank Miller's ridiculously one sided moral views and not-so-subtle homophobia and racism. Fans of Miller's work respond to online blogs of the few that do, saying how ridiculous it is that somebody is actually offended by anything at all, as they do with everything else that contains any amount of idiocy, since nothing television or hollywood shows us can possibly be stupid. Hulk, frustrated with this, explodes.
