Bruce Banner creates the MCU model of the clever Professor Hulk in Mexico, with funding and help from Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). This does not seem to be a nasty factor contemplating the Science Bros’ mixed huge mind. That’s, till you keep in mind that the dynamic duo has an abysmal monitor document on the subject of superhero experiments. Banner and Stark’s most notable scientific team-up earlier than Professor Hulk is a synthetic intelligence that turns into Marvel’s Avengers villain Ultron (James Spader) and practically destroys the world in “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
Think about the pair tinkering away in Mexico with full information of their Ultron failure whereas additionally dealing with the psychological anguish from Thanos’ victory in “Avengers: Infinity Conflict,” and … properly, let’s face it, there isn’t any means they would not embody some fail-safes in case of a Hulk overload. A comics-style pressured transformation to Banner when Hulk turns into too indignant could be extraordinarily on-brand, as would the unintended facet impact of introducing a savage model of the meek scientist. A berserker Mark Ruffalo making an attempt to assault an enemy whereas in full Hulk rage mode appears like a really MCU-style gag.
There’s additionally a respectable storytelling purpose for introducing a brand new weak point within the MCU Hulk. Historically, his solely Achilles heel has been his personal feelings. With the Professor Hulk mode combining the most effective of Banner and Hulk, he has no actual purpose to get indignant or scared anymore. In any case, he is a super-smart scientist with a physique robust sufficient to make use of the Infinity Gauntlet and survive. However superhero tales abhor perfection, and since Hulk seemingly hasn’t made his final look within the MCU, the franchise will want a method to nerf the man earlier than lengthy.
