Line 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 Fromfrom the Dead]]. He accepted, and by combining cosmic energy with gamma radiation siphoned off from the Hulk, the Intelligencia transformed him into the Red Hulk.
 
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 32:
* [[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 Fromfrom the Dead]]: Twice, both before he ever became the Red Hulk.
** [[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 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 Fromfrom the Dead]], Banner will publicly reveal he's the Red Hulk... and given that he tore up the White House, that isn't going to go down well.
* {{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.
