Rulk
"when is the next one coming out it feels like its been 2 or 3 months since they had the last issue out"Nevuary 1st.
He needs a name of his own now. Just calling him Red Hulk or Rulk for short is dumb. Even if the name is something cheesey like Fury or Rage or something, at least its a name.
"He needs a name of his own now. Just calling him Red Hulk or Rulk for short is dumb. Even if the name is something cheesey like Fury or Rage or something, at least its a name."I agree with this.
" How is Loeb still working at Marvel? "
His name is Red Hulk. His identity has not been revealed, so no one knows his real name.
People say "Rulk" because they are too lazy to say or type out Red Hulk.

" @Vance Astro: That's just lazy. :p "I think it's just stupid.I don't see how people can be that lazy that they can't write out Red Hulk.I've even seen Ragnarok called Clor in comics when they've already named him.What's with this lame nicknaming system? I've even seen She Hulk called Shulk..or Shulkie.It's disgusting!
what's the point of being pissed about what this hulk clone is called.... i've just rea the comics involving him and he don't deserve a better name as the "red hulk" is a crap creation just made to make fans annoyed. job well done loeb

red hulk i first understood to be an anti hulk right so i had no prob with him beatin hulk. but how he treats other characters like uatu or grandmaster is just stupid.
"People say stuff like this as if Uatu or the Grandmaster haven't been owned by people who would have no chance against Rulk.red hulk i first understood to be an anti hulk right so i had no prob with him beatin hulk. but how he treats other characters like uatu or grandmaster is just stupid.

Oh, and She-Hulk's been called Shulkie for YEARS. Hawkeye I believe first named her that.
" @Cezar_TheScribe: Yikes. So calling the character something his own creator calls him in interviews is "lazy"? Again...was it worth it? It's just a nickname. Does this mean you MUST call everyone named Ben, "Benjamin" if that's their full name? Or Tony, "Anthony"? Frank, "Francis"? Etc., etc., ad-infinitum... "His creator is lazy.Shortening real names isn't lazy.Shortening superhero names is.

I'd rather be called by my full name. My name is five letters long and people like to shorten it to four.
And that's a no no.
" @Vance Astro said:Those don't sound absolutely retarded.Also those are nicknames given by people they know.I'm asking if Rulk's name is actually Rulk and not Red Hulk to begin with.I've only seen him called Rulk in the comics." @RaptorFratBoy said:Again, why?

" @RaptorFratBoy said:Well, OK, but that's a personal preference. My name's Ben, and it's pretty irritating to hear "Benjamin", because that usually means someone is mad at me.

" My guess is General Ross. And I rather like the name 'Rulk' "General Ross and Rulk have been in the same place....
abbreviation come up with readers that Loeb adopted at conventions, ect, as a hat-tip and because readers were familiar with it.
really, i cant see why one would expect anything else from him, much like expecting Bay to not make a movie centered around special effects. falls suit with things like Clone Thor being called Clor. not really out of laziness, people generally think its fun or cute i guess. as for someones mention of Blue Hulk, no, purple.

Smash! <---? yeah, like A-Bomb too. theres a trend there with Loeb. expecting more would be rhetorical.
So Red Hulk and Thundra seemed have hit it off well. Is that weird that he is picking up banners left overs? Then he goes on to talk about thinking he could be Lyra's father but its not likely since she is green. It almost sounds like he is coming accustomed to being the red hulk and sounds like he is going to end up going down the same path as banner

"I didnt say that Rulk was her father. I stated that He seems to think she is more like him then Banner. Also she is the daughter of Earth -616 hulk not Earth-8009 so it would be just as likely they would have Chosen him instead of Banner if they had chosen a Later time period from Earth-616. I in no way think she is the daughter of General Ross tho
