General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross was overseeing the testing of the gamma bomb when Bruce Banner raced out onto the testing grounds to save teenager Rick Jones. For Banner's pains, he was blasted with gamma radiation, turning him into [[Incredible Hulk|the Hulk]].
Line 10 ⟶ 8:
Ross became the Hulk's most persistent enemy, initially because of the Hulk's attacks against the U.S. Army; as time passed, it developed into something more personal, an obsession. Even as Ross sought to bring the Hulk down, he envied and coveted the power the Hulk possessed.
In the end, the death of Ross' daughter Betty at the hands of the Abomination, the Hulk's betrayal by the Illuminati, and the assassination of [[Captain America (comics)|Captain America]] plunged Ross into the depths of despair, where the Intelligencia, a cabal of [[Mad Scientist]] supervillains, found him. [[Deal with the Devil|They made Ross an offer:]] the power to "rescue" America, and the chance to have Betty brought [[Back
The Red Hulk persona first appeared in ''Hulk'' vol. 3 #1 (March, 2008), created by [[Jeph Loeb]] and Ed McGuinness. The Red Hulk's first mission was killing the Abomination, and from there he proceeded to run amok across the MU, [[Kick the Dog|kicking a lot of dogs]] and getting on the bad side of a lot of major players - culminating in his stripping Banner of the Hulk.
Line 19 ⟶ 17:
The Red Hulk's powers are somewhat different from the original's:
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]] - typically has full control over his transformation, though he sometimes reverts when he sleeps.
* [[Super Strength]], though he can't reach the levels Banner can.
Line 30 ⟶ 27:

* [[Alien Blood]]: Following his initial transformation, Ross now has glowing yellow blood in both forms.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type IV
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Type III
* [[Artistic License History]]: [[Word of God]] from [[Jeff Parker]], supported later in the comic, is that the Army Air Force being currently active was intentional (in [[Real Life]], it was abolished in 1947).
* [[Back
** [[Came Back Wrong]]: When Ross was brought back the first time, the Leader hadn't ''quite'' perfected the requisite technology... (originally he came back as a [[Soulless Shell]], which was later retconned as [[And I Must Scream]]).
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Quite apart from the Red Hulk, there was the time Ross took over the body of [[Energy Being]] Zzzax. Or the time he was given the Redeemer armor.
Line 93 ⟶ 91:
* [[Revenge Before Reason]]: Ross' desire to take down the Hulk took him down some very dark paths in the past.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: The Life Model Decoys at Gamma Base, who are aware of their nature, and serve as Ross's supporting cast.
* [[Secret Identity]]: If Ross ever tries pulling a [[Back
* {{spoiler|[[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: Red Hulk's [[Energy Absorption]] abilities are set to force this sooner or later. General Fortean implanted him with nano-mines set to go off when he turned human, but he managed to get them deactivated.}}
* [[Shockwave Clap]]: Comes with the Hulk territory.
