Bruce Banner (later called "Robert Bruce Banner" as a way of "explaining" a storyline in Fantastic Four (Vol. 1) # 25–26 which mistakenly referred to him as "Bob Banner" throughout.) The Hulk, (or, more correctly, the Savage Hulk) is one of the most recognizable and iconic "anti-heros" of Marvel.
Publication history
In the first issue of The Incredible Hulk, the character's skin was grey. However, the publishers of the time had difficulties printing a clear, consistent shade of grey, so after the first issue, The character's skin color changed to a bright emerald green in #2. Subsequent reprintings and retellings of the Hulk's origin over the next 20-odd years featured him with green skin from the start, but in 1986, it was revealed that the Hulk "really" was grey in his origin, and he soon after reverted to his original coloration (remaining that way until 1991).
It is interesting to note that both the Hulk (in #1) and Iron Man (in Tales of Suspense #39), both crucial new Marvel Comics characters in 1962–63, each began in grey color which only lasted one issue in each respective case (Iron Man's armor was altered to gold in Tales of Suspense #40).
