While Marvel’s Avengers has witnessed ups and downs since its release, it has managed to do one thing very nicely: celebrating the long-running legacy of the comics and their relevance. Similarly, it recently shared a great post, while celebrating the birthday of the big green guy himself, the Hulk, who made his debut in the comics 50 years ago.
Marvel’s Avengers fans adore the Hulk as the smasher turns 50!
In case anyone is not aware of old facts, Bruce Banner’s Hulk made his first appearance in May 1962 with The Incredible Hulk #1. Since then, he has swayed the fans across the globe for the last fifty years. Apart from early TV shows from decades ago, he’s now become even more iconic thanks to the immense success of the MCU.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has truly escalated the craze of the superheroes, especially from the team of Marvel’s Avengers. And the Hulk has managed to hold his own ground even among other popular characters.
With the release of Marvel’s Avengers in 2020, he was present in the original roster. And so far, many players have enjoyed playing as the green guy in the Square Enix title. The developers have also offered timely skins for his different looks. Which eventually adds up to his growing popularity among the gaming fanatics as well.
