    Thunderbolt Ross

    Character » Thunderbolt Ross appears in 1614 issues.

    Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross is former U.S. military general. He is father of Bruce Banner's love Betty Ross and was archenemy of the Incredible Hulk.

After leaving the team, he formed his own group of Thunderbolts with other Anti-Heroes. He was recently depowered by Doctor Green.

    Hulk to be re-launched as Hulk and the Agents of SMASH?

    @Teerack: He means the Jeff Parker Hulk series with Thunderbolt Ross in will be relaunched to feature the Hulk family to coincide with the Agents of Smash cartoon. It's only a rumour so far.

    And currently I am really hating Marvel for their animation plans. Ultimate Spider-Man is rubbish, Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes was utterly brilliant and does not deserve to be replaced by another show set in the same continuity as Ultimate Spider-Man meaning it could share in the same childish, lame tone of the series and apparently Agents of Smash is just going to be mindless action with few plot points and developed storylines. Why Marvel, why?!!!!

    The book will be exactly the same as before, just with a new title. Same writer and everything.

    I hope to gosh no. So far the rumor is that it'll be the same as the regular Red Hulk series, but now with Hulk and the Agents of SMASH as its title.

    I'll stick by it since it's still Jeff. But if it goes downhill I'll be making a complaint on the review threads about it. :P

    @Necrotic_Lycanthrope: I've just got better stuff to read. An Agents of SMASH title just doesn't sound appealing enough to replace something else.

    Eh, fair enough. In any case, Vertigo, Image and avatar press have been having success lately with their stuff. Maybe you can look into those (if you haven't already that is :P)

    @Necrotic_Lycanthrope: I know of Vertigo and Avatar. I mostly stick to a couple Marvel and DC titles at the moment.

    DC's doing a better job than Marvel, but they've been screwing up some characters and their relationships. Ironically, most of the issues I get weekly are DC. (even though I'm pro-Marvel.)

    Could be good. Its always nice to have a supporting cast and Jeff Parker is solid.

    @Flopsop200 So far in Rulk's comics he's been teaming up with a lot of lesser based characters in Marvel. So a more permanent team would be cool, although I do hope Annie and machine man are still on board with him as teammates.

    and then the book will be cancelled...
