The Hulk! (1978) #27
#also Bruce being picked on for being a ‘feeble excuse for a man’ has been a part of his character since day one#with General Ross going on about Bruce being a ‘weak-kneed lily-livered milksop’#which of course became an ironic thing#where people don’t know how much danger they’re putting themselves in by threatening Bruce#while Bruce plays into it because he wants people to back off of him because he’s afraid for their safety#like he’s doing here by agreeing with this guy#which escalates when Bruce gets really desperate to him talking about himself in a way that’s reminiscent to me of General Ross#‘I’ll run away just to show what a yellow-livered coward I am and then you don’t have to…’#the context being that that guy thought he had to beat Bruce up for his reputation's sake#we haven’t really gotten into how Bruce feels about not meeting standards of manliness#beyond like the Hulk saying that Bruce is jealous of his strength#because Bruce has kind of been preoccupied with being upset about the Hulk to have monologues where he’s upset about other stuff#but I’m really curious about it#marvel#bruce banner#my posts#comic panels
