Like all comic book characters, The Hulk has undergone a number of redesigns over the years. From his debut all the way back in 1962 and the original design by Jack Kirby, to the present day, where the majority of fans consider Dale Keow as the preeminent artist for Hulk; every comic book artist has attempted to leave their personal stamp on the visualization of the jade giant. Fun Fact: The Hulk was originally intended to be gray according to Stan Lee because he wanted a color that did not suggest any particular ethnic group. Colorist Stan Goldberg, however, had problems with the gray coloring, resulting in different shades of gray, and even sometimes green, in the debut issue. After seeing the first published issue, Lee ultimately chose to change the skin color to green. We've seen bearded Hulks, long-haired Hulks, blockish Hulks, brutish Hulks, crop top Hulks, World War Hulks, and nerdish Hulks to name but a few of the more conspicuous versions. In two Hulk movies, we've seen two different Hulks and it looks like we'll be seeing a third when The Avengers hits theaters in 2012. In light of this, I thought I would ask you guys, the true fans, which version of The Incredible Hulk do you wish you were seeing standing next to Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man?
