The Hulk is not a killer. End o' story.

The Hulk kills the crap out of monsters. especilally giant ones. People? Not so much.

But it's okay because ^^***** is really showing us the | |ulk. or is it the *ulk? I forget.

To me, the Hulk has the potential to kill.  Like someone mentioned, he's like Godzilla, if you get killed during the rampage, in my opinion also.

One example I can think of off the top of my head, way back during the time when Nightmare was messing with the Hulk's mind somewhere around Incredible Hulk # 296-299 (can't remember which issue), the Hulk shows up at a party, already having reverted back to his savage self, and one of the party goers is all talking how happy they are to have a hero and reformed Hulk there at thier party.

The Hulk flicks the man out of his way with his thumb going: "Stupid man get out of Hulk's way."  A woman yelling says she heard the man's bones breaking from the Hulk's push.

I could have sworn I've seen the Hulk say "Hulk Kill" even back during the 60s and 70s to various enemies.   I'm gonna go back through my back issues later tonight after I get off of work to see which issues I come up with.        

I like the notion that Bruce has some control over the Monster - deep down, the Hulk is in Bruce and Bruce is in the Hulk, because they are aspects of the same whole person.

He isn't Typhoid Mary for goodness sake - he doesn't have split personas that do their own thing. He's not even Curt Conners - who only recently started remembering some attacks as the Lizard.

Bruce is in there when Hulk is manifest, and that makes him not a killer, because Hulk follows those rules.

In some of the examples however, people say "well, he's fighting the military (ie General Ross)" or "he's fighting Abomination" but really - THEY are attacking the Hulk! They are the BAD GUYS! If someone gets hit in the cross-fire, they caused it. Hulk is trying to STOP them, and if he weren't fighting them they would go unchecked to do God knows what, and Hulk would just wander the desert wanting to be left alone. The way I see it, if anyone dies, it is DESPITE THE HULK'S BEST EFFORTS to prevent it.

By the logic presented in the comics, in real life we should fire all police officers and disbanned the military - after all, if they weren't fighting the bad guys no one would die so let's just let the villains do what they want.
