IRON HULK - Marvel Comics Introduce The New Character

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Avengers #684


“Avengers: No Surrender” sees the introduce of a new kind of Hulk – the Iron Hulk. In Avengers #684, the Red Hulk dons the Iron Patriot armor to take on the Immortal Hulk. And even with the “Hulk” moniker being held by the character already, the Iron Hulk is the comic book hybrid hero Marvel fans never knew they needed.

This character of the Red Hulk is Robert Maverick, an aging four-star general who became a superhero in the 2017 series U.S. Avengers long side a new Iron Patriot.

Maverick uses an implant called a Hulk Plug-In that lets him “hulk out” for one hour. Unlike his predecessor, Thunderbolt Ross, this Red Hulk gets to keep his mustache when he transforms. Though the character is still relatively new and not well known, Red Hulk became one of the main characters in the “Avengers: No Surrender”.


“Avengers: No Surrender” opened with the Earth being kidnapped as part of a cosmic game between the Grandmaster and his brother, the Challenger. While simultaneously battling two super villain teams, the Avengers have lost The Human Torch and Red Wolf. The situation get worsed when the Hulk was revealed to be alive.The Hulk charged into the Avengers’ secret base, forcing Maverick to transform into the Red Hulk.


Sadly the Red Hulk isn’t strong enough to physically match the Green Hulk. According to his teammate Toni Ho, the Red Hulk can’t beat Bruce Banner’s Hulk even “on his best day. “.

Knowing that he  won’t beat hulk, Maverick decides to wear Toni Ho’s Iron Patriot armor.  After the Hulk easily break Cannonball and Living Lightning, Maverick made his grand entrance as the Iron Hulk. With his new upgrade, Maverick may have enough power to at least stand a chance against Marvel’s strongest hero.

Fans of Marvel Comics in general may be getting to know him better soon, considering Marvel’s new Wolverine/Hulk hybrid, Weapon H, has already been given his own series.


Whether the Iron Hulk lives or dies, the comic sets up an epic fest for Avengers #685.
