Hulk pet bunny!
  • As you can see in the page image, the episode "A Solitary Place" has the Hulk saving a bunny from a bear trap. Then begins petting said bunny, gently, and with care.
  • Likewise in "The Snare", when he places a bird back in its nest and strokes it gently.
  • Whenever people acknowledge that the Hulk is a good guy and show some gratitude. Even more when they learn the truth and decide to keep David's secret.
    • David himself was unsure about the Hulk's morality, but Elaina Marks, in the pilot episode, assured him that Hulk was a good guy.
    • In "Ricky", the episode's titular character not only was grateful, but, in an overlap with the funny page, also taught the primitive-minded Hulk how to open a soda can and drink its content.
    • Even Jack has his moments: in "Prometheus", he genuinely tried to reason with a Hulk stuck in mid-transformation, being really upset when the other people nearby ruined his efforts for a peaceful solution. Jack even admitted that Hulk saved his life sometimes.
  • David and his father parting ways on good terms in "Homecoming" after the two had spent years estranged from each other after his mother's death. He leaves his family home with his father and sister now assured in the knowledge that he's alive rather than dead, and will keep his secret like everyone else.
    • The reason why David has to leave is also an interesting moment: Jack McGee has stopped by, not looking to pursue reported sightings of the Hulk as usual, but to offer his condolences to David's family over his (presumed) death. David's father in turn offers him a seat at their dinner table so he doesn't have to be alone for Thanksgiving.
