Hulk / Banner transformation question
We all know that when Banner transformed into the Hulk, due to issues of dignity that at the very least the Hulk still had his pants. Fine, not a problem. However I always did have one question that never seemed to come up.
Notice what's on his face? A pair of glasses. When he changed into the Hulk the glasses would be gone. Now I understand the Gamma Radiation made him this giant beast of a man, but did it also cure his vision as well? Wouldn't the Hulk also be near-sighted just as Bruce was?
Not only that, when the Hulk changed back to Bruce, Bruce would have his glasses back. Did that mean the glasses were part of the transformation and why the Hulk didn't need glasses as they melded into the Hulk persona? How does that work?
Answers people, I want answers!!! Telling me that Gamma Radiation turns you into a giant green monster makes sense, but come on, let's not go overboard.
Perhaps the glasses seep into Banner's skin as Hulk, and come back out when he calms the hell down...
No." Perhaps the glasses seep into Banner's skin as Hulk, and come back out when he calms the hell down... "

Bruce likes purple stretch-slacks.
Bruce always removes his glasses and often has to replace them.

Thing is, Bruce usually had them when he transformed back to Banner. That is what bothered me.

There are many showings of Peter stashing his clothes somewhere and getting them back later. Same thing with Superman.
