#in that recent storyline where Samson was being insecure about the Hulk being not as intelligent and therefore stronger than him

#it’s interesting to me how insistent Leonard is that he’s not a monster#at the beginning of this issue he was speaking at a panel and arguing in favor of using gamma radiation to treat the mentally ill#and while the opposition used the existence of the Hulk as a counter argument#he was saying that he himself is proof that controlled gamma rays are safe#his whole concept is that he stands in contrast to the Hulk#he has gamma strength but doesn’t become a monster because he doesn’t have anger issues#instead he’s a psychologist and can maintain a mostly normal-looking#in the past he’s expressed some insecurity over the Hulk seeming to be stronger than him#which is credited to how ‘beastial’ the Hulk is while Samson remains a man#and I can see how it would be important to Samson personally that he’s not like the Hulk but is also better than him#and how it would also be important for his career and really just his life that he’s not thought of as being like the Hulk#there was an earlier storyline where Samson publicly staked his reputation on rehabilitating the Hulk#but failing to do that apparently hasn’t had that much of a negative effect if he’s being invited to speak at colleges#though I wonder how Samson’s own need for the Hulk to have the issues that he does to stand in contrast to him#would inhibit or tamper with Samson’s attempts to treat the Hulk#in that recent storyline where Samson was being insecure about the Hulk being not as intelligent and therefore stronger than him#he mishandled a situation by acting in anger and calling the Hulk a monster rather than attempting to approach him calmly first#and he also hurt the Hulk’s feelings by underestimating his intelligence#which I can see as being a part of Samson’s internal conflict between what he believes he wants to the Hulk to be like#and what he thinks he needs the Hulk to be like#marvel#leonard samson#peter parker#my posts#comic panels
