* After Skaar attempted to kill the Hulk, [[spoiler:but then reverts to human form right before the Green Scar is about to strike him in retaliation, [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/81f737889858dee76fcdbe47d08df570/tumblr_op3f3uP6kq1upu1slo1_1280.jpg this reminds Green Scar of his own abusive father]]]]. The Green Scar immediately turns back into Bruce, [[http://i1.wp.com/p1.pstatp.com/large/18500007e7556b49d9d8 and he and Skaar finally hug each other as father and son]]. Also overlaps with TearJerker, after seeing the flashbacks to Bruce's own childhood.
* When Hulk meets all of his dead family and friends during ComicBook/ChaosWar, reunites with his mother (who doesn't like his wife Red She-Hulk), makes up with [[BallsOfSteel Doc Samson]] (now restored from the CharacterDerailment) and [[ParentalSubstitute Doctor Strange]], is saved from his father, [[ThePowerOfHate empowered by all the fear that Bruce felt for him]], by [[LoveTranscendsSpacetime Queen]] [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Jarella]] [[ThePowerOfLove empowered by all the love that he felt for her]], and they give each other a hug before they have to be parted again.

[[note]]Sadly, it's from an alternate reality, and it eventually doesn't really end well, either. [[spoiler:Doctor Doom of this reality transforms Bruce and Betty's son, Skip (a.k.a. Skaar of this reality), into his Hulk-like form, and his mother is forced to kill him.]][[/note]]
* After depowering gamma-irradiated mutates wherever he can find then, the newly super-intelligent Hu-, sorry, Doc Green, finally confronts Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk, asks the Avengers with her if they can talk privately as he brings the cure (which is later in She-Hulk's possession), and...they have a heart-to-heart talk. Doc Green admits that he had no intention of curing Jennifer, as she's the only one who didn't let the gamma radiation ruin her life. Doc Green outright says she is "the best of them" by consistently proving that she doesn't have to be a menace to the world, and can be a hero. He then reveals that the cure is for him, in case a rogue AI he created attempts to steal his body while the Extremis virus he emerged from wears off, or he gets tempted to using more of it and unleashing of malevolent persona of The Maestro onto the world. Jen reassures that it won't come to that. He also tells Jen that the Extremis gave him a new perspective of seeing the world, and wishes he could see more of it, ''crying'' over the short time he has while Jennifer comforts him.
* In the second ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}/ComicBook/SpiderMan'' crossover, The Hulk was incited into an UnstoppableRage by a noise-emitting device (created by ComicBook/DoctorDoom). After Superman removed the device, there's this exchange.
-->'''Superman:''' All I want to do is help you, Hulk. That's my ''job'' -- helping people.
-->'''Hulk:''' Hulk isn't ''people''. Hulk is... different. But so is Cape-Man! Cape-Man looks like puny human, but ''isn't''! Hulk... ''trusts'' Cape-Man!
** In the 1999 Creator/RogerStern ''Hulk/Superman'' crossover, Hulk never fully trusts Superman, but Superman does give one hell of a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Ross and Luthor, angrily saying that he ''understands'' the Hulk's rage. The FramingStory has Clark treating his inability to help Banner/Hulk as MyGreatestFailure alongside his now-wife Lois.
* ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' #13 features a brief moment between Banner and the Hulk. Picking up a character note from ''ComicBook/AvengersNoSurrender'', Banner just wants to die after everything that's happened in his life, and then the Hulk quietly states that despite him being Banner's worst side he will protect him above everything else, indeed always ''has'' protected him, and that he loves him.
