Fictional character biography

edit

Born to a prominent military family, with both his father and grandfather having served, Thaddeus Ross was primed to follow in their footsteps.[3]He joined theAir Forcestraight out of high school and climbed the ranks quickly while raising a family.

Holding the rank oflieutenant general,Ross is chosen to oversee Bruce Banner'sgamma bombproject. His daughter, Betty, takes a liking to the young scientist, deepening Ross' dislike for the "weakling". After Banner's transformation into the Hulk, Ross spends years chasing the monster, becoming obsessed enough to committreasonby allying himself with supervillains such as theLeader,MODOKand theAbomination[4]to destroy the Hulk.Dismissedfrom the military, he shows up at Betty and Bruce's wedding with a gun and shootsRick Jones.He is recruited byS.H.I.E.L.D.agentClay Quartermainto merge with the electric creatureZzzax,a process that gives Ross superpowers but also makes him mentally unstable. He is later restored to human form, but retains some residual energy-generating powers.[5]

Finally, the Nevermind, amutantwho drains people of their life energy, attacks Gamma Base in search of a strong host, in this case the Hulk. After witnessing Banner and Rick Jones (who was the Hulk at that time) heroically engaging the mutant, Ross realizes that he has been wrong about the Hulk being a mindless monster. He saves his daughter by allowing the mutant to latch on him and discharging the energy resources he retained from Zzzax. Giving his blessing to Banner and Betty, he dies in his daughter's arms.[6]

Ross' body is later stolen by the Leader, who uses the powers of one of his followers to resurrect him as a replacement for his fallen soldier Redeemer. Ross is eventually recovered and revived by agents of the alien Troyjan and returns to the Air Force. He later comes up with a more cost-effective method of confronting the Hulk: ignoring him.[volume & issue needed]

Ross would become friends with Banner, but when Betty is seemingly killed due to what both Ross and Banner believed to have been Banner's gamma-irradiated DNA interacting with hers, he once more pursues the Hulk with a vendetta.[volume & issue needed]

Around this time, General Ryker takes over the pursuit of the Hulk. Ross is indirectly involved, observing when Ryker mentally tortures Banner to try to figure out how the Hulk works. The Hulk escapes from Ryker's control and, after several adventures, is lost in space.[volume & issue needed]

After the Hulk returns from exile and initiates "World War Hulk",General Ross, now afull general,makes his own return, electing to bring the fight to his nemesis once more after the Hulk beatsIron Man.After a failed assault on the Hulk, Ross and his men are captured and placed in chains under the watch of the Warbound, the army he has brought back from space. The Hulk is eventually defeated via satellite weapons that revert him back to his human form.[7]

Red Hulk

edit

The Red Hulk (also known as theRulk[8]orthe IncREDible Hulk) was introduced in 2008 inHulk(vol. 2) #1.[9]The Red Hulk was created to be an uninhibited, tactically intelligent adversary to the Hulk.[10][11]AlthoughKenneth Johnson,the creator of the 1970s TV seriesThe Incredible Hulk,had suggested a red Hulk for that adaptation decades earlier,[12]Marvel editor-in-chiefJoe Quesadaproposed the idea for the comics to debut a red version of the character whose human identity was a secret.[13]Initially, the Red Hulk's identity was unknown both to the characters in the story and the reading audience.[14][15]

The opening story arc of theHulk(vol. 2) series that premiered in 2008 established that the Red Hulk is very aggressive, as he murders theWendigoandAbomination;destroys theHelicarrierof the spy organizationS.H.I.E.L.D.;defeats several Marvel heroes; and, after causing an earthquake inSan Francisco,is defeated by the Hulk andThor.In a subsequent storyline, theCollectorplaces the character with other villains on a team called the Offenders, an evil version of theDefenders,in a bid to prevent the Hulk from reuniting withJarella.[16]In that story, the Red Hulk siphons the Power Cosmic from theSilver Surfer,seemingly killing him, steals his board along withTerrax's cosmic axe, and uses the power to killNamor,Tiger Shark,Doctor Strange,Baron Mordo,theGrandmaster,Terrax, Hulk, andPsycho-Man.When the Red Hulk reveals this to Galactus, Galactus takes back the Power Cosmic from him. Subsequently, almost everyone he killed is resurrected with no memory of the event.[17]

The Red Hulk was created as part of aSuper Soldierprogram by several persons, includingDoc Samsonand the criminalthink tanktheIntelligencia,headed byMODOK.[18][19][20]The 2009 "Code Red" story arc[14]also made allusions to the Red Hulk's real identity, and introduced Red She-Hulk.[21]

In the 2010 story line "Fall of the Hulks: Gamma", the Red Hulk is related in flashback to have killed General Ross at the behest of Bruce Banner, with whom he has formed an alliance.[22]However, the 2010 "World War Hulks"story line reveals that the Red Hulk is Thunderbolt Ross, the Red She-Hulk is Betty Ross, and the Ross who was" killed "was aLife Model Decoy(LMD). The Red Hulk then thwarts the Intelligencia's plan to take over theUnited Stateswith an LMD ofGlenn Talbotby destroying the Talbot LMD and attempts to take over the country himself.[7]He is thwarted by a restored Hulk, who beats the Red Hulk mostly due to the Red Hulk's exhaustion from overheating. The Hulk tells the Red Hulk that it was his idea to fake Ross' death and that he can never again resume that identity. After imprisoning the Red Hulk in Gamma Base, Banner makes arrangements withSteve Rogersfor the Red Hulk to join the Avengers.[23][24]

After Steve Rogers recruits the Red Hulk, the Red Hulk stops the Intelligencia's failsafe plan "Scorched Earth". Although Banner had claimed that he removed the Red Hulk's energy-draining ability from him because it was killing him, he is shown to still possess this ability.[25]After the events of the Scorched Earth program, the Red Hulk is paired up with an LMD named Annie. The Red Hulk is occasionally assaulted by Ross' former protégé General Reginald Fortean, a scientist given superhuman mutations by MODOK named Zero/One, and the Indian serial killer Black Fog.[26]

The Red Hulk plays a vital role in the Infinity Gem crisis of the "Heroic Age"story line.[27]During the 2011 "Fear Itself"story line, the Red Hulk attempts unsuccessfully to stop theThing(in the form of Angrir, Breaker of Souls) from destroyingAvengers Tower,[28]as MODOK Superior and Black Fog converge on both combatants during the fight. Angrir dispatches the Red Hulk by knocking him out of the city and intoVermont.[29]

As part of the 2012Marvel NOW!relaunch, the Red Hulk leads a non-government sponsored version of theThunderbolts.[2]This incarnation is a strike team that cleans up the messes left by Ross' military career, but the team later decides on a new arrangement in which the team will do one mission for Ross, then a mission for a random member.[citation needed]

After the Hulk takes away the powers of Rick Jones,Skaar,and Betty Ross, Ross starts monitoring the Hulk's movements. This leads to a battle in which Doc Green subdues the Red Hulk and injects him with a formula that reverts him back to Ross. The Army is alerted to the confrontation. When they arrive, the Army arrests Ross for deserting his country.[30]

The 2016 "Civil War II"storyline reveals that Thunderbolt Ross is incarcerated in a classified military prison.[31]However, he is paroled for helping a resistance cell during "Secret Empire".[32]Ross is later killed, but is revealed to have survived, with the Ross who was killed being another LMD.[33][34]

Powers and abilities

edit

Marvel editor Mark Paniccia described the Red Hulk as "absolutely uninhibited, tactically intelligent",[10]while writerJeph Loebsaid "The Red Hulk is the kind ofHulkwe haven't seen before—a thinking, calculating, brutal weapon-toting kind of Hulk. "To further distance the character away from the original:" Everything the Green Hulk isn't, the Red Hulk is. Except, of course, for his powers which are identical. And he looks the same, except he's red. And he's the same size. But other than that, they're complete opposites. "[11]The character hasabilities almost identicalto those of the Hulk. The character can also emit heat at will from his eyes during non-enraged periods and can augment power levels by absorbing various types of energy, such asgamma radiationand thePower Cosmic.[20][35]When infected withCable'stechno-organic virusduring the "X-Sanction" storyline, he was able to control this heat to burn the virus out of his system.[36]Red Hulk was created through a combination of gamma radiation and cosmic rays.[18]The satellites used to revert the Hulk to human form at the end ofWorld War Hulkwere used to power the device used to turn Ross into the Red Hulk.[37]Unlike the green Hulk, the Red Hulk does not revert to human form when rendered unconscious, and his blood is a fluorescent yellow instead of green,[38]remaining that color even in human form.[7][37]Unlike the green Hulk, who gets stronger as his rage increases, Red Hulk'sbody temperaturerises with his anger. Though the heat is intense enough to melt desert sand into glass, it causes him to weaken when it becomes too intense,[38]as his physiology lacks a cooling mechanism to deal with the excess heat.[37]Red Hulk has also been shown to have a weakness toNegative Zoneenergy, which caused him burning pain and drained him when he attempted to absorb it.[39]

Reception

edit

In 2009, Thunderbolt Ross was ranked asIGN's 71st Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.[40]

Red Hulk

edit

Comics featuring the Red Hulk sold well but received mixed reviews. The first five issues of the 2008Hulktitle sold out, and second printings featured new covers.[41]Issue #6 was the second-best-selling title of September 2008,[42]and issue #10 was sixth in February 2009.[43]

Augie De Blieck Jr. ofComic Book Resourcesgave the first six issues a positive review, describing it as a "silly fun action romp" and a "popcorn comic". De Blieck liked Loeb's lack of subtlety when giving out clues, saying "this is a book where anytime someone is about reveal the solution to the big mystery, they get knocked out by a slap in the face from the Red Hulk or a machine gun to the gut." His one criticism was that, although he liked the artwork, he would have preferredDale Keownas the artist.[44]

In 2012 Red Hulk was listed as #41 onIGN's "Top 50 Avengers".[45]IGN reviewer Jesse Schedeen was generally critical of the series, citing a lack of character development and the emphasis on action over the ongoing question of Red Hulk's identity.[46]Schedeen also derided the treatment of other mainstream Marvel characters within the pages ofHulk,saying about issue #5 "The series has already treatedShe-HulkandIron Manlike ragdolls who crumple under the awesome might of Red Hulk. Now it's Thor's turn ".[47]Claiming bad dialogue, poor pacing and maltreated characters, Schedeen stated that Ed McGuinness' artwork was the only saving grace for the title.[46][47]

Marvel Cinematic Universe

edit

Thaddeus Ross appears in media set in theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU), initially portrayed byWilliam Hurtand subsequently byHarrison Fordfollowing Hurt's death.[63]DirectorJoe Russorevealed the character's transformation into the Red Hulk was considered during production ofCaptain America: Civil War,but it was decided that there was not enough room in the narrative to substantiate that development.[64]ScreenwriterChristopher Markusstated that Red Hulk's inclusion was briefly considered again inAvengers: Endgame,and that it was possible Ross could evolve into that character one day. Hurt himself stated "I wouldn't mind feeling like I had that much power... I created Thaddeus' ego with the same size as the monster's. With the same degree of messed up-ness. [sic] I'd take a shot at it. "[65]DirectorJames Gunnexpressed interest in making a film featuring both the Hulk and Red Hulk, but the project never entered development due to conflicts withUniversal Pictures,who hold the film rights to the Hulk and his supporting cast.[66]
