What If? (1977) #2 — “What if the Hulk had the brain of Bruce Banner?”
#hmm#the Hulk’s head hurting when he tries to think isn’t a new thing#but I think him being compelled to think anyway because Bruce inside him is trying to communicate with the Hulk and/or escape is new#I definitely agree that the Hulk finds concentrating difficult and stressful under most circumstances#but he has been shown to be good at it in certain situations#like when he’s alone in the wilderness and so is in a calm place where he has the time to think something through#that other people generally wouldn’t need as much time to work out#or on a task he’s really personally invested in like when he was so dedicated to searching for a baby deer that he got attached to#that he didn’t notice all of the people screaming in terror and running away from him#I don’t think that every instance ever of the Hulk ‘thinking’ is because of Bruce#like I think those experiences I brought up are solely the Hulk’s#but I think that in addition to that he also experiences compulsions/feelings that he doesn’t understand from Bruce#though I don’t think Bruce has ever been portrayed as mentally influenced by the Hulk before#(likely because he’s framed as the ‘real’ or ‘original’ persona)#also I do take issue with whenever the Hulk does something good and that’s attributed to the human buried within him or whenever#like the Hulk’s been portrayed with his own moral code and sense of right and wrong#I don’t think it really makes sense to not allow him to own actions that are consistent with it#marvel#bruce banner#my posts#comic panels
