Hulk

For as long as I can remember,

The Hulk

has been my favorite super hero.

Like... my garbage can is "Hulk"

.... I have a giant framed picture of him snarling....

....I have binders for school that are covered with his muscles...

I HAVE ACTION FIGURES!

(sorry for yelling)

Needless to say... I geek out a little bit whenever I see his face.

It always fascinates me what people decide to be

Obsessed over..

Infatuated with..

Passionate about;

So, I've decided to share a small portion of why the Hulk is my Favorite.

Let's start with who he is,

He isn't "The Hulk"

He's Bruce Banner.

Bruce is a fairly reserved physicist,

who can easily come off as cocky or arrogant

because of his emense understanding of his line of work,

but in reality he thinks little of himself,

and is in a fairly constant fear of forming close relationships

with anyone,

fearing that they may one day see his "dark side"

his "Hulk."
He thinks himself a problem,
Basically... He's got a lot of confidence, but no self esteem.

I love that "The Hulk"

is never fully defined in the "Hero" catagory.

I like that he,

in many nerdy books about comic books,

He is RARELY defined as a hero,

but he's never (least not that I've found) labeled fully as a villian.
He seems to fit in this odd section where
he's a good guy... but causes a lot of harm.
(which only reinforces Banner's self loathing when he "comes to")

But more than anything,

I've always loved the idea behind "The Hulk"

The idea that Bruce hates "The Hulk,"

and equally, "The Hulk" hates Bruce.

Bruce's constant struggle and fight to be rid himself of his
"monster"... his "Frankenstein" 
And "The Hulk's" equally powerful determination to
overpower his "weak side."

I love the passion in the story.
I love how everyone can relate to it,
how every person I've ever come in contact with,
everyone has a demon in them that they hate,
that they fight,
and they'll fight till they die.
How when this demon takes over...
it's almost life consuming,
How huge and powerful it seems to us.
How we all feel...
".....if people knew....."
How this demon doesn't make us bad.
 Just makes us Green.
and like Kermit said...
It's hard to be Green.
