* DarkIsNotEvil: She has become this of late, namely in her Red She-Hulk and Red Harpy forms. She has red skin, wears black, has a cruel and violent temperament. When she first appeared as Red She-Hulk and her idenity was a mystery she was a straight up DarkActionGirl, in later comics Betty becomes an AntiHero and as Red Harpy she's a CreepyGood HumanoidAbomination like Devil Hulk who protects her husband from ConflictBall Avengers.

Jennifer Walters, a cousin to Dr. Bruce Banner, once received an emergency blood transfusion from him when she was wounded, which led to her acquiring a milder version of his Hulk condition. As such, Walters becomes a large powerful green-hued version of herself while still largely retaining her personality; in particular, she retains her intelligence and emotional control, though, like Hulk, she still becomes stronger if enraged. In later issues, her transformation is permanent. See [[Characters/SheHulkTitleCharacter here her page]].

Added DiffLines:

* CosmicPlaything: Sticking around Banner to do right by the man who protected him from becoming a Hulk has ironically resulted in a bunch of even more insane occurrences than that to befall Rick. He's been kidnapped, killed, resurrected, mutated, beaten, shot, and gotten himself embroiled with outright cosmic forces such as the Captain Marvel dynasty and Death herself.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Like many other heroes for the Comicbook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel event, Cho is some sort of minority or marginalized group. In his case, Korean-American. He's this thrice over; introduced as Mastermind Excello, who was a white hero during WWII era comics, then Athena intended for him to succeed Hercules, then he becomes a Hulk.

* BroughtDownToNormal: What Omega Hulk ''thought'' he was doing when he took away Rick's A-Bomb powers, but it eventually turned out to be a case of DiscardAndDraw. Rick's death in ''Secret Empire'' and his eventual resurrection seems to have taken away his super-intelligence.



* GoodCounterpart: To the Abomination, in his A-Bomb form.

Added DiffLines:

* UndyingLoyalty: Usually, Bruce and Hulk's first and strongest supporter, even when the rest of the world's turned against him. And he's got the actual deaths to prove it; during ''Immortal Hulk'', Rick's qlippoth is the only one seen that does more than mindless repeat itself, leaping to Hulk's defense when the One Below All's monsters attack.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: When M.O.D.O.K. provoked Samson into a psychological breakdown, one of the issues that provoked Samson's darker half was how he never received much recognition as a superhero as there was always someone better than him at some part of his "job".



* NamesToRunAwayFrom: Of the biblical variation. Doc Samson, a [[TheShrink psychiatrist]] who has a green-haired GeniusBruiser transformation. Predictably, his hair grows long in his transformed state, and his power is dependent on his hair just like the mythical Samson.

It's been noted that he never lets his hair grow beyond a certain length as it gets in the way, but this limits his strength level.

* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Betty had assumed she was completely depowered when Bushwhacker shot her through the head, only to learn Omega Hulk's cure hadn't entirely taken; between that and the exposure to various things and a booster shot of proximity to Bruce, she gained her new "Red Harpy" form.

* MaternallyChallenged: Once got pregnant, but suffered a miscarriage.



* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Feels that her [[spoiler:Gamma mutation is kind of sucky, since it only allows her to see horrible things, but at the climax of ''Immortal Hulk'', it helps defeat the One Below All-possessed Leader.]]



* GoodIsNotSoft: Generally, Charlene's an empathetic and caring woman, but at the same time she can be dangerous when crossed, so much so even Absorbing Man and Titania are a little impressed by her. She's got mad science, she knows how to use it, and will if pushed.



* ComicBookDeath: He was killed attempting to help a returned Hulk contain all of the Gamma radiation from the Hulked-Out Heroes. However, he is alive and well again in the [[ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel post]]-ComicBook/SecretWars2015 universe.

* DeathIsCheap: He was killed attempting to help a returned Hulk contain all of the Gamma radiation from the Hulked-Out Heroes. However, he is alive and well again in the [[ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel post]]-ComicBook/SecretWars2015 universe. He dies a few times over in ''Immortal Hulk'', but thanks to the Green Door tends to come back.


Added DiffLines:

* GoOutWithASmile: His death in ''Fall of the Hulks'' has him trying to reassure Bruce before he's killed.


Added DiffLines:

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: The fact he tried dating Betty that one time.


Added DiffLines:

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: As he himself has noted, he has a tendency to be an insensitive idiot.


Added DiffLines:

** During ''Immortal Hulk'', [[spoiler:Brian Banner]] mentions that when he passed through the Below Place, Len tried psychoanalyzing him. Given the personality involved, you can imagine how well that went.

Added DiffLines:

* AndIMustScream: As of 2012's ''Silver Surfer'', he's wound up stuck in the land of Couldn't-Be, Shouldn't-Be, which hasn't done any wonders for his sanity.
* BaldOfEvil: Starting off with curly hair, by ''Annihilation'', he's gone hairless. And quite, quite nuts.
* BodyHorror: On his reappearance in ''Defenders: Beyond'', his powers are now fueled by him using parts of his body. The fact he's missing several chunks by the time the Defenders stumble upon him raises a few questions.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Perfectly ordinary boy Thomas Gideon was granted the power to shape dreams by the Shaper of Worlds. Unfortunately, he began to go mad.
* GodhoodSeeker: Tried to replace Eternity during the whole mess of 2015's ''Secret Wars'', but that failed and left him stuck in Couldn't-Be, Shouldn't-Be. When the Defenders find him there, he's still determined he could create a new, better multiverse than the one that already exists. The non-team disagrees.
* HatePlague: During ''ComicBook/{{Annihilation}} Ronan'', Glorian uses his powers to draw people to [[WretchedHive Gothab Omega]] and make them fight, so he can harness the energy unleashed. Might've worked if the Annihilation Wave hadn't been passing through.
* LotusEaterMachine: His schtick is to try and give people illusions based on their heart's desire. And then wig out when they inevitably reject it.
* PrettyBoy: What he started off as. Less so in modern times.
* SanitySlippage: Given his origin involved his father dying of radiation poisoning, followed by being given cosmic power, going mad was probably inevitable for the poor kid.

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Subverted. He was homeless, yes. But ''not'' an orphan, apparently. He told everyone that he was, even until the end of his life. His father appeared over a decade after Jim passed away, looking for revenge against the Hulk. Hulk instead, chews him out for being such a lousy father, that Jim never even thought to mention him.

* BoringButPractical: His suggestion for dealing with the Hulk? Launch a satellite array to track him, and alert urban areas whenever he shows up. General Ross objects because America's enemies might get ahold of them, and what would they do then?
-->'''Doc''': Send condolence cards to America's enemies.
* BoringButPractical: Doc Samson has noted that for a fraction of what General Ross and other have wasted trying to build robots/containment/powered armor to take down/control the Hulk, you could just get a satellite array going that would warn people in urban areas to evacuate when he starts getting too close. Naturally no one will consider this.
