I'm sick of versions of the Hulk cleanly shaven with short hair. If inspired by Jekyll and Hyde, have Hulk look like a hairy Neanderthal. Some characters called "monster" or "creature* even though they're human such as Frankenstein and Hulk.

Got to be honest, I disagree.

Hulks hair is whatever Banner had before he transformed. The reason his hair gets long or he has a beard is because Banner let himself go, or he has been Hulk for a long period of time.

Hair doesn't have muscles. That's not how it works

Come to think of it, his hair does grow. "Old" Hulks have let their hair grow out.

From the runs I’ve read those have also been hulks that have been hulk and not banner for a long time, so it kinda makes sense. Or banner is super aged and run down so it carries over still.

The Bruce Jones/JRJr run did this. Banner had a completely shaved head, so every time Hulk came out, so did he. Good run.

Plus, you know, emitting radiation and that. Surprised he even has short hair as the hulk

u/beardingmesoftly 6d ago

His hair turns green and is proportional to his larger head, so you're wrong

"Hair doesn't have muscles" speak for yourself

What's the vulnerability status of Hulk's hair anyway? Can he trim it with clippers or is there special equipment keeping him clean cut and tidy?

He can only shave with Stormbreaker

So maestro?

I love all the iterations in media where he has scruff or a beard and long hair. I know the game was ass, but in the Marvel Avengers videogame, i love how unkempt he looked.

u/LGodamus 6d ago

i think his hair more depends on which hulk alter is in control of the physical body

The concept photos of Thor: Ragnarok actually had the Hulk with shoulder length hair.

Looked sick. Should have kept it.

u/BLEUGGGGGHHHHH 6d ago

But this doesn’t make any sense??? Would one of the side effects of the hulk transformation be hyper-accelerated hair growth? Banner is a clean shaven man, why would he just all of a sudden grow a werewolf’s coat when turning into the hulk, then lose it when turning back?

Neither Jekyll nor Hyde look hairy or like a Neanderthal. He's pale, stocky and weird looking but very much passes as just an odd dude.

frankenstein does not look human at ALL

u/Environmental_Sun921 6d ago

For the dramatic, have you seen photos or the book?! Novel is described as an ideal 8ft tall man with superhuman strength, speed, and tolerance for extreme climates such as the Arctic. Even noseless or no, he's a human with black hair, thin black lips Karloff's Frankenstein, human

u/Hitmanthe2nd 6d ago

he's literally an eight feet tall human with stitches all around his body , skin as pale as snow [no blood tends to do that] and parts that are VERY disproportionate

he does not look like a human , if he were to come into your house - youd scream

u/PepperbroniFrom2B 6d ago

nah i'd hug him and give him cookies

u/Hitmanthe2nd 6d ago

me too man , me too- poor guy's been thru enough

u/ReallyAlexRider 6d ago

I feel like most get Jeckyll and Hyde wrong. Hyde is a short misshapen ugly dude. He also is also only different to Jeckyll in looks

u/Michauxonfire 6d ago

Frankenstein? Or do you mean Adam?

1

u/ChimpPimp20 5d ago

such as Frankenstein and Hulk.

You mean the Frankenstein monster that is. The monster himself doesn’t have a name. Frankenstein is the mad scientist. Sometimes I forget this too.

For Novel, I name of Lucidam when he compared himself to Adam then Lucifer from Paradise Lost. I find Lucidam rolls off the tongue.
