Why Hulk Turns Green
The Incredible Hulk is one of Marvel's most easily recognizable characters, but why does he turn green? The real reason may surprise you. You don't have to be a Marvel super fan to know that The Incredible Hulk is green. What you might not know is that Stan Lee originally intended him to have a different hue.
But, as it would turn out, the grey coloring was difficult for Marvel's printers to produce, so Lee was forced to shift the Hulk's appearance from grey to green in The Incredible Hulk #2. More importantly, of all colors, why does the Hulk turn green whenever Bruce Banner transforms into the rage-filled hero? Surely, turning Red would make a lot more sense for this transformation. The Incredible Hulk is one of the most iconic superheroes in comic book history.
Why The Hulk Turns Green When He Transforms
First appearing in Marvel Comics in 1962, the Hulk has undergone several changes and iterations over the decades. One of the most notable changes was the switch from his original gray skin color to the more widely known green. But when exactly did this change happen? The Hulk is one of Marvel's most iconic characters, and his green skin is instantly recognizable.
But why is he green instead of any other color? The answer is a mix of practical issues and creative choices that happened behind the scenes. Let's get into the interesting story of why the Hulk turned green. I know that the original Hulk was originally supposed to be grey, and real life printing issues and decisions caused him to eventually be portrayed as green (and then grey again).

However, is there any in-universe/canon explanation as to why, in addition to causing extreme size and strength increase, the gamma. This is what causes Banner to transform into the giant, green Hulk. As Alvarado explains, "Bruce Banner's transformation into the Hulk would be incredibly traumatic to his body, and maybe his green skin is the result of a whole-body bruise." This also ties in well with Bruce Banner's origin story outside of the gamma explosion.
The Hulk is more than just a raging green powerhouse, he's a reflection of real-life strength, atomic age fears, and classic monster cinema. Why is the HULK Green? (Because Science w/ Kyle Hill) Nerdist 2.72M subscribers Subscribed.
