the hulk is a metaphor for lou ferrigno's cocaine habit idk
when asked for comment about the Incredible Hulk, after exiting the theater, Carl Marks said ‘Scheisse’ and went home to become a captialist.
Hulk big. Big stronger than small. When big fight small, big wins.
The Hulk is just Jekyll and Hyde retold. That story is an old one and has its own analyses over the decades, not really Marxist though, more about good and evil within man, and how one chooses between them, if at all.
But we could turn it towards a Marxist analysis in saying that the proletarian has the seed for revolutionary thought and action within them, but it only comes to fruition when something materially changes so that the proletarian can no longer continue to exist under their capitalist mode of existence.
This doesn't have to be something fancy like gamma rays or whatever that serum Jekyll/Hyde drinks; it could be any workplace incident that changes a worker's life for the worse. This is when we get class action, literally class action suits, protests, strikes, maybe even socialist revolution.
Just a note. In the comic Bruce Banner always had anger control issues. The gamma rays just made him transform
My Hulk knowledge comprises the 1960s cartoon and the Ang Lee movie.
I haven't seen the Marvel or Ang Lee films but last I checked in on the comics Bruce was an abused child who grew up to be a very angry man. There's probably some kind of Marxist analogy one could draw but I'm not the person to do it
PROLES SMASH!!!!!!!!
WORKING CLASS STRONGEST THERE IS!!!
of course the marxian recognizes that Hulks trasformation & warping/destruction of clothing is a commentary on the dialectical forces dictating the yards of linen that go in a coat, and his rage represents the unfocused, quasirevolutionary consciousness of the labor aristocrat

lol this post just helped me realize hulk is just mr hyde but as frankenstein's monster
You might enjoy Monsters by Barry Windsor Smith its a story about the US government in the 60s using nazi research to attempt to turn a mentally disabled boy into a hulk like creature. Its very good and an interesting take on the military industrial complex but be warned its very dark and sad
Bruce is Thoreau, Hulk is Robespierre, and Marx is Professor Hulk
