History Characters / IncredibleHulkVillains

* NostalgiaAintWhatItUsedToBe: In his ''Immortal Hulk'' appearances, he enjoys talking about how people should remember the days of their youth, when everything was simple, and how he takes people back to those days.

* SuperPowerLottery: Lets see, SuperStrength and SuperToughness that allows him to go toe-to-toe with beings like Hulk, Thor, She-Hulk and Valkyrie, {{Telepathy}} powerful enough to communicate with the whole planet, [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]], [[BarrierWarrior force fields]], SuperIntelligence and finally RessurectiveImmortality via DemonicPossession, PuppeteerParasite and CloneByConversion

* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: By his own account, Rebecca had loved him once, an indescribable thing for someone who grew up convinced he was unworthy of love thanks to his own father... but he blamed Bruce being born for taking that from him. (Rebecca's side of it we don't know, whether she still loved Brian after he turned on her and Bruce.)

* {{Jerkass}}: He's a real piece of work, alright. He beat his son simply because he was ''incredibly smart for his age'', and when his wife tried to protect him from his wrath, he beat her as well. He later murdered her for trying to get away from him with Bruce, coerced his son into not testifying against with the threat of ''{{Hell}}'', and later after the trial went to a bar, and gloated about literally getting away with murder. ''His wife's murder''. This one act got him in trouble and committed to an asylum. More assholery on his part got him killed when he pushed Bruce too far, and he was of age to do something about it. He also willingly joined forces with Mikaboshi in order to hurt Bruce.

* TheGrotesque: Extremely ugly.

* OneSteveLimit: Shares codename with the mutant Robert Herman. That said, this Glob debuted several decades before Robert Herman.

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Fortean claims that he wants to stop chaos and bring order. But in reality, he wants control, and to dominate. Unlike Ross it was never about helping make the world a better place. It was always about control and he used other members of the military unter the pretext of getting revenge for Ross' death to aquire the resources to pursue his own goals. Once he had his resources and people he started doing whatever it took to gain power and exert control over what he calls the shadows or chaos but really just wanted to set himself up as the one in charge behind the shadows. It was even stated that they had no interest in detroying the hulk and the aim of Fortean's organization was to weaponize gamma mutation.

* FriendToAllChildren: This is his sthick when he brainwashes everyone on Earth. To them, he's the heroic Xemnu from the Magic planet. Summed up well with this line here:

* OffingTheOfspring: Had his infant son killed and while his daughter Omaka survived the murder attempt, her arms had to be replaced with cybernetics.

* ArchnemesisDad: Even his own daughter Omaka hates him.

* AlliterativeName: '''A''ngmo-'''A'''san.

[[folder: General Reginald Fortean]]
!!General Reginald Fortean
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reginald_fortean.jpg]]

--> '''Debut:''' ''Hulk'' Vol. 2, #31

A general who was originally one of Ross's proteges and served under him in the past. After believing Red Hulk killed General Ross, he vows to hunt down and kill Red Hulk. He later clashes with Betty Ross as the Red She-Hulk and is one of the main antagonists of the ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' series.

* BadBoss: By the time of ''Immortal Hulk'', he's an awful person to work for, snubbing or sneering at any show of humanity from his subordinates, or threatening them with going back to jail for not doing as he says. [[spoiler:It eventually gets to the point that he kills two mooks for walking in the middle of a fight with the Hulk, and says it's still not his fault. This is what finally prompts everyone at Shadow Base to leave him to his fate.]]
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Fortean claims that he wants to stop chaos and bring order. But in reality, he wants control, and to dominate. Unlike Ross it was never about helping make the world a better place. It was always about control and he used other members of the military unter the pretext of getting revenge for Ross' death to aquire the resources to pursue his own goals. Once he had his resources and people he started doing whatever it took to gain power and exert control over what he calls the shadows or chaos but really just wanted to set himself up as the one in charge behind the shadows. It was even stated that they had no interest in detroying the hulk and the aim of Fortean's organization was to weaponize gamma mutation.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Hulks are bad. Anything that opposes them is good and right, even when that involves murder and desecrating corpses to make ''more'' gamma mutants. Fortean's insanity in this regard is so great he'll chide and threaten his underlings just for showing basic human decency about the horrible things he makes them do.
* ControlFreak: What Fortean actually is. It started in his childhood when he heard stories about how god imposed order on the world by giving it structure. It's implied that Fortean wanted to be the one to impose order and stand on high [[AGodAmI as God]]. In the flashbacks, each defining incident for him was just another step on his road to his own brand of order to the world.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: A flashback in ''Immortal Hulk'' shows him during his days working under Ross seeing the aftermath of a Hulk rampage. Ross and Talbolt use the example of a young Jackie [=McGee=] as a reminder of what they're supposed to be fighting for, protecting people from harm. Reginald takes this as justification to shove down any qualms he might feel in the name of the Greater Good.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Only just. He refrains from sending thugs after Betty on the day of her father's funeral, [[spoiler:but only then. Once he finds out she's Red Harpy, he's got no compunction ordering her death as well.]]
* EvilerThanThou: Ross may be a {{Jerkass}}, but he has at least a few redeeming qualities, like his love for his daughter and the fact that he does what he does because he believes it will help and protect people. He would also never endanger or sacrifice innocent people if he could at all help it and there are some lines even he won't cross. Fortean on the other hand is TheUnfettered and sees rules, laws, and morality as obstacles to his missions. His sole focus is to destroy the monsters and he couldn't care less about the regular people who get caught up in the mess. He used to have a few scruples about it, apologizing to someone he thought was caught up in his mission against Red Hulk, but [[CharacterisationMarchesOn got worse over time]].
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:He had Rick Jone's (''probably'') dead body dug up and turned into a monstrous new Abomination to try and kill the Hulk. Then he tried recovering the leftovers after the Hulk was done with it, and it merges with him. When the Devil Hulk kills him, it turns out this exposure is enough to drag him down to Hell.]]
* GeneralRipper: Is even more unreasonable and uncompromising than Thunderbolt Ross in this regard, and Ross is the page image for this trope.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Big time. Fortean is willing to do some really, really horrible stuff to take down the Hulks and does it without batting an eye.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: His reaction to seeing Betty as [[spoiler:Red Harpy]] is stunned awe.
* KickTheDog: By the time of ''Immortal Hulk'' issue 20, he's got no problem ordering the murder of as many civilians as needed in the name of "collateral damage".
* NecessaryEvil: How he sees himself and how he justifies his actions. In truth he's more of a KnightTemplar.
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:Joe Fixit snaps his neck while he's in Hell, and distracted by his horror at what he did.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: He was introduced in 2011, with Ross remembering him as having been around during his crusade against the Hulk; later, it got extended back to having being around since before the Hulk's creation.
* {{Revenge}}: His motive for pursuing Red Hulk, believing he'd killed Ross.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: He's moved from Hulk to Hulk in his time, going from General Ross to Betty to Bruce.
* VolumetricMouth: In the Subject B suit his mouth stretches long when he vomits up acid. The gullet is lined with teeth.

--> '''Debut:''' ''Tales to Astonish'' Vol. 1, #61

A soldier under General Ross's command, and Bruce's rival for Betty's affections. Despite the fact that he was an utter dick. Eventually killed in action trying to kill the Hulk, but he did score a crippling blow when he learned that Bruce Banner physically changed into the Hulk and told his superiors.

* BullyingADragon: Much like General Ross, he antagonised and chased the Hulk and Bruce relentlessly.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: When he reappears in ''Chaos War'' he's calmer and admits that he was a terrible husband to Betty, helping fight Mikaboshi's forces.
* {{Jerkass}}: Extremely unpleasant and disrespectful. His abusive nature doesn’t help.
* KilledOffForReal: He was an ordinary human picking a fight with the freaking Hulk. He eventually gets killed thanks to his own arrogance and overconfidence. Really couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: A flashback in ''Immortal Hulk'' shows that, many unpleasant qualities aside, Glenn is at least not as insane as Fortean.
* SmugSnake: Extremely smug and dickish.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Betty actually considered this guy worth marrying at one point. Despite the total screaming lack of anything near likable about him.
* WouldHitAGirl: Hit Betty at least once.

* MagicKnight: He has training in armed and unarmed combat along with his Old and New Power.
* AMillionIsAStatistic: His attitude and the main thing separating him from Skaar. They both despise their father and are hell-bent on killing him, but Hiro-Kala has absolutely no regard for how many people wind up getting caught in the crossfire. As far as he's concerned, they're just numbers.
* NighInvulnerability: Can take hits from his father, a worldbreaker. Not many can boast this.
* ThePowerOfHate: Harnessed his hate and rage in order to increase his powers.
* PowerOfLove: When he realized he was developing feelings for another, he [[ShootTheDog killed her]] to prevent his powers from going out of his control and threatening the universe.
* SiblingYinYang: They couldn't look more different, and have radically opposed personalities as well. They both survived using one of their inherited powersets. He with his Old Power and Skaar by transforming.
* SuperEmpowering: Through a combination of Old Power and Power Cosmic, Hiro was able to create a unique energy all his own called the New Power. Which basically was a combination of both without any new applications or abilities, but given his skill with both, he was able to share this power with those he wished ala {{ComicBook/Galactus}}.

See [[Characters/SpiderManRoguesGalleryIToZ here]] for more info.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Downplayed. His unique physiology allow him to survive in outer space with little issue, but he still requires an oxygen mask to actually last in outer space.
* {{Determinator}}: Once fought Hulk for days, on a traveling spacecraft, in orbit ''around the sun''.
* DumbMuscle: The Leader recruited him for this express purpose; the Rhino was one of the few who could reliably fight the Hulk and simultaneously submit to his will. All the others were either too weak, or too ambitious in their own right.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: More well-known as a Spider-Man villain, the Rhino nonetheless has been quite the foe for the Hulk as well.
* SuperStrength: Can lift 80 tons without his suit, and over 100 with it. In his early appearances whomever he was being the hired muscle for would in fact boost his powers in preparation for a bout with the Hulk.

--> '''AKA:''' Simon Utrecht (Vector); Ann Darnell (Vapor); James Darnell (X-Ray); Michael Steel (Ironclad)
--> '''Debut:''' ''The Incredible Hulk'' Vol. 1, #254

Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.

Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Utrecht was already a multimillionaire, captain of industry, and former political office-holder, but that just wasn't enough for him. He wanted real, physical powers.
* DumbMuscle: When you look at their powersets, they're actually far, far above the Fantastic Four and could easily be Avengers-level threats if they had half a mind. Unfortunately for them, they are a bunch of petty, lazy, unimaginative idiots who are perfectly content to work as mid-level mercenaries and frequent punching bags for the Hulk.
* EnergyBeing: X-Ray.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Fantastic Four. Oddly, they've never actually fought the Fantastic Four. This was also completely intentional on their part; they got their powers deliberately through the same method as the FF.
* ExtraOreDinary: Ironclad is made of metal.
* FourIsDeath: Four people who are {{AxCrazy}}.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: A parallel to the Fantastic Four.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The U-Foes succeeded in gaining their powers, but Banner's interrupting their trip meant they didn't get enough radiation to actually control their powers. This led to their first defeat without the Hulk even needing to do anything. Subsequent occurrences can be blamed on them not caring enough to get good with their abilities.
* MindOverMatter: Vector can emit powerful psychic waves that repel anything he directs his energies at. He can repel anything from physical matter to tracking signals to Doctor Strange's magic.
* NighInvulnerable: This, along with Super Strength, is Ironclad's primary power. He's gone multiple rounds with the Hulk and lived to tell the tale.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Sure, they don't have much of a street cred, but Vector can repel the magic of Comicbook/DoctorStrange, hurl planets, blast the Hulk into a walking skeleton, and rip apart reality itself. Also, they think nothing of blowing up thousands as long as they get paid.
** If one takes time to examine their powers, they're actually considerably more powerful than the Fantastic Four (they were exposed to considerably more cosmic rays). Unfortunately they aren't nearly as smart as the FF, which is probably the main thing holding them back from being major villains.
* PowerIncontinence: Vapor nearly dissipated, Vector repelled himself off the planet, Ironclad sank to the Earth's core and X-Ray nearly overloaded when he absorbed too much radiation to control. Their powers doing all sorts of things that they're not supposed to do is a regular occurrence, and half the time, your best bet against them is to just wait for their powers to backfire.
* PureEnergy: X-Ray can control a wide variety of forms of radiation, and emit them in deadly blasts that can burn even the Hulk or Comicbook/TheMightyThor.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Ironclad's civilian name is Michael '''Steel'''.
ed thugs or go around spoiling for a fight with the Hulk than put in the effort to advance themselves as a team.
* SuperSmoke: And a whole lot of other gases too. Vapor's powers allow her to transform herself into any kind of gas she desires. Mustard gas and carbon monoxide work great for choking even heroes like the Hulk.
* UngratefulBastard: When this four was making their foolhardy expedition, they would have likely killed themselves overdosing of cosmic radiation if Bruce Banner hadn't brought their spacecraft down. As it is, they survived while gaining superpowers, and then tried to kill Banner for interfering in their affairs.
* UnholyMatrimony: Vapor and Vector
* UnskilledButStrong: Just one of them could pose a credible threat to the Fantastic Four, and the four of them put together have the sort of firepower that would typically make the Avengers take notice. Fortunately for everyone else, however, they are too stupid and lazy to really learn how to put their abilities to good use (half the time, they manage to defeat themselves when their powers go haywire because they still have a novice-level grasp of them at best), and, more importantly, would much rather work as hir
* WorfEffect: Similar to the Wrecking Crew, Hulk rival Thor's villains, the U-Foes eventually became second-tier villains to be beat up by everybody. Still, similar to the above mention WC, they get very few moments to shine here and there.

A sentient space station that was a weapon designed by S.H.I.E.L.D. who built itself with advanced A.I. circuitry and whose intelligence surpassed what was initially intended. When it's creators initially tried to stop it, it responded in turn (it is believed this is what caused the Chernobyl incident). It's creators decided to leave it alone, where it made itself larger by incorporating space debris into itself. As a last resort, the Hulk was fired into space to put a stop to it.

!!One Below All
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6714057_one_below_all.jpg]]
--> '''Debut:''' ''Immortal Hulk'' #5

A malevolent entity that resides in the Below-Place - the deepest layer of Hell, the One Below All is the dark counterpart of the One Above All. Sealed behind a metaphysical Green Door, it is the source of the elusive mutagenic third form of Gamma energy, and in a way every Gamma mutate is a facet of it.

* TheAntiGod: As the opposite of the One Above All, using terms to describe itself that are a dark mirror of its benevolent counterpart.
* BigDumbBody: Pretty much the main reason a lot of gamma mutates end up super strong giants with impaired minds. Its ultimate goal is becoming a Galactus level Hulk capable of destroying everything.
* ColorMotif: Heavily associated with the color green as a part of its connection to gamma radiation. To a far lesser extent it's also associated with the red gamma mutations. What the latter means, especially since it only comes about from adding cosmic radiation is not yet clear.
* {{Cumulonemesis}}: The closest thing to its true appearance is a giant, storming green thunderhead with glowing pinholes for eyes and a gaping maw in the Below Place.
* DeathIsCheap: Under its auspices death is meaningless. Gamma mutates won't stay dead if it doesn't want them to.
* DeathOfPersonality: Extended possession allows it to gradually erode all other personalities in it's host until all that's left is the emptiness that is it.
* DemonicPossession: The One Below All can possess Gamma mutates by slipping through them from the Green Door. If another superhuman then absorbs the mutate's Gamma, the One Below All can then pass into them.
** [[spoiler: In a BadFuture, the One Below All has completely possessed the body of the Hulk, having eaten all of Banner's identities.]]
* EmeraldPower: Is the source of power behind gamma mutation.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: {{Inverted|Trope}}; The One Below All uses avatars to avoid breaking mortal minds because it wants them to suffer instead. It most often is shown using David Banner, specifically because it unnerves the Devil Hulk. For others it uses a NightmareFace.
* HeroKiller: In the BadFuture, it [[spoiler: eats Franklin Richards, Galactus, Mr Immortal and every Hulk persona.]]
* EmptyShell: A recurring motif is emptiness or being a hollowed out husk. It wants to make the universe as empty as it is within, by destroying all life and snuffing out all light.
* LeakingCanOfEvil: It's largely sealed in the Below Place behind the Green Door but as its debut series show this does almost nothing to prevents its influence from reaching across the multiverse.
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler: In the BadFuture, the One Below All possesses the Hulk and becomes the last living being in the universe, thereby becoming Galactus' heir in the next universe. The One Below All also takes on the Green Scar's outfit, nickname of 'Worldbreaker', and [[ArcWords never stops making the universe's inhabitants pay]].]]
* OmnicidalManiac: It's ultimate goal is the freedom to destroy everything in the universe if not the multiverse, leaving only a dark, empty ruin for all time.
* SicklyGreenGlow: Its association with gamma radiation comes with a lot of neon green.
* ThePowerOfHate: Hate is its weapon but fortunately it only has as much power as it is given.

See [[Characters/SpiderManRoguesGalleryIToZ here]] for more info.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Downplayed. His unique physiology allow him to survive in outer space with little issue, but he still requires an oxygen mask to actually last in outer space.
* {{Determinator}}: Once fought Hulk for days, on a traveling spacecraft, in orbit ''around the sun''.
* DumbMuscle: The Leader recruited him for this express purpose; the Rhino was one of the few who could reliably fight the Hulk and simultaneously submit to his will. All the others were either too weak, or too ambitious in their own right.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: More well-known as a Spider-Man villain, the Rhino nonetheless has been quite the foe for the Hulk as well.

--> '''AKA:''' Simon Utrecht (Vector); Ann Darnell (Vapor); James Darnell (X-Ray); Michael Steel (Ironclad)
--> '''Debut:''' ''The Incredible Hulk'' Vol. 1, #254

Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.

Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Utrecht was already a multimillionaire, captain of industry, and former political office-holder, but that just wasn't enough for him. He wanted real, physical powers.
* DumbMuscle: When you look at their powersets, they're actually far, far above the Fantastic Four and could easily be Avengers-level threats if they had half a mind. Unfortunately for them, they are a bunch of petty, lazy, unimaginative idiots who are perfectly content to work as mid-level mercenaries and frequent punching bags for the Hulk.
* EnergyBeing: X-Ray.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Fantastic Four. Oddly, they've never actually fought the Fantastic Four. This was also completely intentional on their part; they got their powers deliberately through the same method as the FF.
* ExtraOreDinary: Ironclad is made of metal.
* FourIsDeath: Four people who are {{AxCrazy}}.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: A parallel to the Fantastic Four.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The U-Foes succeeded in gaining their powers, but Banner's interrupting their trip meant they didn't get enough radiation to actually control their powers. This led to their first defeat without the Hulk even needing to do anything. Subsequent occurrences can be blamed on them not caring enough to get good with their abilities.
* MindOverMatter: Vector can emit powerful psychic waves that repel anything he directs his energies at. He can repel anything from physical matter to tracking signals to Doctor Strange's magic.
* NighInvulnerable: This, along with Super Strength, is Ironclad's primary power. He's gone multiple rounds with the Hulk and lived to tell the tale.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Sure, they don't have much of a street cred, but Vector can repel the magic of Comicbook/DoctorStrange, hurl planets, blast the Hulk into a walking skeleton, and rip apart reality itself. Also, they think nothing of blowing up thousands as long as they get paid.
** If one takes time to examine their powers, they're actually considerably more powerful than the Fantastic Four (they were exposed to considerably more cosmic rays). Unfortunately they aren't nearly as smart as the FF, which is probably the main thing holding them back from being major villains.
* PowerIncontinence: Vapor nearly dissipated, Vector repelled himself off the planet, Ironclad sank to the Earth's core and X-Ray nearly overloaded when he absorbed too much radiation to control. Their powers doing all sorts of things that they're not supposed to do is a regular occurrence, and half the time, your best bet against them is to just wait for their powers to backfire.
* PureEnergy: X-Ray can control a wide variety of forms of radiation, and emit them in deadly blasts that can burn even the Hulk or Comicbook/TheMightyThor.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Ironclad's civilian name is Michael '''Steel'''.
ed thugs or go around spoiling for a fight with the Hulk than put in the effort to advance themselves as a team.
* SuperSmoke: And a whole lot of other gases too. Vapor's powers allow her to transform herself into any kind of gas she desires. Mustard gas and carbon monoxide work great for choking even heroes like the Hulk.
* UngratefulBastard: When this four was making their foolhardy expedition, they would have likely killed themselves overdosing of cosmic radiation if Bruce Banner hadn't brought their spacecraft down. As it is, they survived while gaining superpowers, and then tried to kill Banner for interfering in their affairs.
* UnholyMatrimony: Vapor and Vector
* UnskilledButStrong: Just one of them could pose a credible threat to the Fantastic Four, and the four of them put together have the sort of firepower that would typically make the Avengers take notice. Fortunately for everyone else, however, they are too stupid and lazy to really learn how to put their abilities to good use (half the time, they manage to defeat themselves when their powers go haywire because they still have a novice-level grasp of them at best), and, more importantly, would much rather work as hir

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Xemnu's ''Immortal Hulk'' body is a hollow shell of flesh and cybernetics that opens up to consume humans.]]
* BodySurf: How Xemnu can survive his death - he can take over someone's body, and turn it into a new Xemnu.
* DepravedKidsShowHost: As the mascot of ''The Astro-Nuts'' and ''The Magic Planet''.
* DeathIsCheap:
** His first appearance ended with him dying.
** Once got disintegrated by Ultron during ''Annihilation: Conquest''. It didn't stick.
* FakeMemories: His hypnosis is strong enough to replace people's memories.
* FriendToAllChildren: This is his sthick when he brainwashes everyone on Earth. To them, he's the heroic Xemnu from the Magic planet. Summed up well with this line here:
--> '''Xemnu:''' All right, boys and girls! This is for all of '''you! Avengers Assemble!'''
* GeniusBruiser: Make no mistake, Xemnu is huge and muscular, but possesses an extraordinary intellect, and on Earth he would be considered a genius in the fields of cybernetics, robotics, and aerospace engineering.
* LastOfHisKind: The rest of Xemnu's species died years ago. Not that Xemmy's feeling any guilt about that.
* MassHypnosis: Xemnu is capable of enthralling entire worlds. Only the Hulk is immune (and even then, only ''some'' Hulks.)
* MindControlConspiracy: As Xemnu notes in ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'', his powers get stronger when filtered through "culture" -- and paired with Roxxonn's media empire and the omnipresence of smartphones and television in modern society, he's able to manipulate the minds of everyone on the planet.
* NamesTheSame: He's known as the ''Living'' Hulk.
* PsychopathicManchild: His repeated coming BackFromTheDead has clearly [[SanitySlippage done a number on him]] by the time of ''Immortal Hulk'', as he talks in childish, sing-song speech patterns and describes himself as being "hungwy" when he needs to [[ToServeMan get his strength up]].
* SuperPowerLottery: Lets see, SuperStrength and SuperToughness that allows him to go toe-to-toe with beings like Hulk, Thor, She-Hulk and Valkyrie, {{Telepathy}} powerful enough to communicate with the whole planet, [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]], [[BarrierWarrior force fields]], SuperIntelligence and finally RessurectiveImmortality via DemonicPossession, PuppeteerParasite and CloneByConversion
* ToServeMan: [[spoiler:By the time of ''Immortal Hulk'' he needs to feed on humans to sustain himself.]]
* VerbalTic: In ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'', he has both "oh me, oh my" and "[[FakeMemories don't you remember?]]".
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' sees Xemnu brainwash Earth's population into believing that he is Earth's mightiest hero, the [[LossOfIdentity Incredible Hulk]]. In the process, he "overwrites" several other heroes, including ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} ComicBook/SpiderMan, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Mr. Fantastic]], ComicBook/WonderMan, [[ComicBook/XMen Havok]], and [[ComicBook/KamalaKhan Ms. Marvel]].

--> '''Debut:''' ''The Incredible Hulk'' Vol. 1, #166

A humanoid creature [[EnergyBeings entirely made of]] [[ShockAndAwe electricity]] created accidentally after an attempt to sabotage a nuclear power plant in New York City. Aside from insanely powerful electric powers, Zzzax can feed on brain electricity, killing his victims and temporarily taking on their personality traits in the process.

* DemonicPossession: In one story arc, S.H.I.E.L.D. attempted to infuse Thunderbolt Ross with Zzzax's electricity powers, but Zzzax flipped the table on them and devoured Ross's mind instead (leaving the man functionally brain-dead for a time)... except Ross's hatred for the Hulk was so intense that [[InvertedTrope his mind overtook Zzzax instead]], making Zzzax believe he ''was'' Ross on a hunt to kill Bruce. Later on in the same story Zzzax was able to possess a Hulk-ified Rick Jones and force him to hurt himself in an attempt to kill him.
* EnergyBeings: Made of energy.
* ImAHumanitarian: Eats people for brainpower.[[OurVampiresAreDifferent Or rather psychic vampire:]] he feeds on ''brain'' electricity.
* ShockAndAwe: A being of pure sentient electricity.
* SssssnakeTalk: Zzzax zzzpeakz with an electric crackle verzzzion of thizzz trope.
* SuperStrength: Somehow... [[{{Technobabble}} maybe through electromagnetism]].

Artist who swore revenge on all men and was given the ability to turn living creatures into glass statues.

--> '''Debut:''' ''The Incredible Hulk'' Vol. 2, #89

A sentient space station that was a weapon designed by S.H.I.E.L.D. who built itself with advanced A.I. circuitry and whose intelligence surpassed what was initially intended. When it's creators initially tried to stop it, it responded in turn (it is believed this is what caused the Chernobyl incident). It's creators decided to leave it alone, where it made itself larger by incorporating space debris into itself. As a last resort, the Hulk was fired into space to put a stop to it.

* AIIsACrapShoot: Was created by SHIELD before going rogue.
* EnergyAbsorption: Absorbs solar energy, converts it to nuclear energy, then stores it on a subatomic level. It's capable of replicating any energy signature it analyzes, though the Hulk's gamma signature is hard to pin down.
* GreyGoo: Incorporates matter into itself, making itself larger and more powerful. It is unclear as to the extent of it's absorbing abilities, but it's large, ship-like exterior form made from the floating space debris surrounding Earth has allowed it to grow to the size of a small city.
* GodzillaThreshold: Has the potential to grow larger than the Earth itself, and most definitely has the fire power to wipe out humanity.
* KillSat: Its purpose was to be a nuclear deterrent by remotely detonating from orbit any nuclear stockpile in the world.
* NotSoDifferent: Believes the Hulk and itself to be this at first. The Hulk disagrees, knowing that Godseye wishes to kill humanity, which is [[EveryoneHasStandards to much, even for the Hulk]], as he just wants to be left alone.
* WeNeedADistraction: It is the distraction, used to lure the Hulk into a trap so the Illuminati could rocket him to another planet. It just also happened to be a problem that needed solving at the same time.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: When Banner comes aboard it, the only reason he is spared is because the AI is curious about human nature, most specifically the dual nature of a being like the Hulk.

The Puffball Collective was a composite creature comprised of innumerable floating 'puffballs', which the Hulk first encountered stranded in the Crossroads dimension. It seemed to befriend the green goliath, but actually just wanted him to breach the barrier back to its own world so that it could release the N'Garai demons which it had already used against its own people. The Hulk abandoned the Collective on the devastated world at the mercy of the N'Garai with no apparent means of escape
