Going on record. My favorite Marvel character is “The Hulk”

Recent film adaptations have not given me opportunity to say this at an earlier date, but The Hulk is most definitely my favorite Marvel character.

Incredible Hulk Bixby

I wasn’t much into the comic books, but I very much liked the television drama. I first felt my true love for the minor key when I heard the Hulk theme “Lonely Man.”

Thanks to the recent addition of rabbit-ears, we get RTN, the “Retro Television Network” which shows “The Incredible Hulk” TV show weekday evenings.

While I’m no Hulk-ologist, I always liked the subconscious and everyman elements of the Banner / Hulk dichotomy. Even as a young kid I “got” that there is, in every man, a powerful force that he, betimes, may not be in control of.

So there you go. You can have your Spidey, or your Bats, but for me, it’s Hulk.

    This weekend is impossible (we have to head to Houston), but we do have the new Hulk flick on Blu-Ray if you’re interested. Or if you’d just like to borrow it.

    I have a similar reason for enjoying the Hulk, and like most superhero stories that have endured, it’s because there’s a real idea about a real character in there.

    I’d love to catch it on Blu-Ray chez you. We’re still absent that technology.
