''"I've trashed my military career, [[Laser Guided Karma|I'm constantly being attacked by my supposed allies]], my family won't talk to me... and the only place I can be human is on a secret base with the one man I can't stand.''

* [[Alien Blood]]: Following his initial transformation, Ross now has glowing yellow blood in both forms.

* [[Anti Hero]]: Type IV

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type IV

* [[Anti Villain]]: Type III

* [[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 From the Dead]]: Twice, both before he ever became the Red Hulk.

Line 43:

* [[Bond Villain Stupidity]]: {{spoiler|New}} MODOK is looking to completely avert this. He knows not to underestimate anyone and is very pragmatic. He even thanks Black Fog for beating him down, reminding him to never think oneself invincible.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Jeff Parker did his best to give Rulk what was coming to him for all the [[Villain Sue]] behavior of the early issues - effectively dropping Ross' [[Karma Houdini Warranty]]. Unfortunately, this is not good news for anyone around Rulk...

* [[Create Your Own Villain]]/[[Nice Job Breaking It Hero]]: Bad idea disconnecting the scientist trying to stop the Synthegraft subjects before she was done, Ross; now she's been transformed into supervillain Zero/One.

* [[Create Your Own Villain]]/[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Bad idea disconnecting the scientist trying to stop the Synthegraft subjects before she was done, Ross; now she's been transformed into supervillain Zero/One.

* [[Darkest Hour]]: During [[Bill Mantlo]]'s run on ''Incredible Hulk'', Ross was faced with either owning up to releasing the Abomination against the Hulk in defiance of a Presidential pardon and being charged with treason, or committing suicide. He opted to own up. The full implications of this were overlooked by later writers, as he eventually returned to military service.

** Jeph Loeb eventually explained Ross' return to service by revealing the charges had been dropped as part of the Intelligencia's schemes.

Line 65:

* [[Hot Blooded]]: Literally.

* [[I Love Nuclear Power]]: Gamma radiation + cosmic energy = Red Hulk.

* [[In Another ~~Mans~~ Shoes]]: In Jeff Parker's run. Transformed into a Hulk, hunted by the U.S. Army, unable to convince them of his good intentions... Ross is ''finally'' finding out what Banner was going through when Ross was leading the hunt. Whether he's actually figured that out yet is another matter - seeing the other person's perspective has never been one of his strong suits.

Ross is ''finally'' finding out what Banner was going through when Ross was leading the hunt.

* [[In a Single Bound]]

* [[In Series Nickname]]: Ross was nicknamed 'Thunderbolt' by his troops because he 'struck like a thunderbolt' against their enemies.

* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Ross was nicknamed 'Thunderbolt' by his troops because he 'struck like a thunderbolt' against their enemies.

* [[Instant Awesome Just Add Ninja]]: Black Fog is an [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Indian cyborg serial killer ninja...]] and an all too serious threat.

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: Black Fog is an [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Indian cyborg serial killer ninja...]] and an all too serious threat.

* [[Interrupted Cooldown Hug]]: Was often the reason for this. Doesn't apply to ''him'', though, since his anger usually shorts him out.

* [[I Wish It Were Real]]: [[Played for Drama]]. Zero/One, being [[Daydream Believer|unable to distinguish]] between the 'real' [[Serial Killer|Black Fog]], and the [[Shrouded in Myth|tall stories]] that sprang up around him, 'upgrades' him into the creature of her childhood nightmares.

Line 105:

* [[The Stoic]]: Ross allows himself few displays of emotion beyond anger. The Red Hulk's a different matter.

* [[Two First Names]]

* [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]: Ross has always been one of these.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Ross has always been one of these.

* [[What Measure Is a Non Human]]: On the one hand, Ross is rather uncomfortable with the Life Model Decoys' nature; on the other, they're human enough he often acts as he would around flesh-and-blood humans.

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: On the one hand, Ross is rather uncomfortable with the Life Model Decoys' nature; on the other, they're human enough he often acts as he would around flesh-and-blood humans.

** Then it turns out {{spoiler|1=these LMDs dissolve when they're destroyed; they can't be repaired. Like humans, they only have one life.}}
