Marvel Teases Hulk's Return
It seems Marvel fans only have a short time to wait until the original Hulk returns to the Marvel [...]
The Hulk Returns
Banner wasn't left to rest in peace. The Hand stole his body and resurrected the Hulk, forcing the Avengers Unity Squad – which Captain America had tried to disband – to fight the undead hulk.
Doctor Voodoo was able to cleanse Bruce Banner's soul of the corruption caused by the Hand, allowing him to revert to human form and die once again.
That still wasn't the end of it. During the Secret Empire event, when Captain America had taken over the Untied States for Hydra, Cap wanted to eliminate the remaining heroes who were part of the underground. He had Arnim Zola temporarily resurrect Bruce Banner. Captain America told Banner that he should destroy the ungerground's hideout, the Mount, as revenge for his death.
Banner refused to work with Hydra, but the Hulk was more than willing. The Hulk forced a transformation and attacked the Mount, defeating all heroes who opposed him before Zola's resurrection waned and he died once again.
Marvel Legacy
It seems the Hulk will be back for real this time, as part of the Marvel Legacy push to restore classic characters to their previous positions in the Marvel Universe. Sam Wilson has already returned to his role as the Falcon, leaving the real Steve Rogers to reclaim the mantle of Captain America. Tony Stark recently woke from his coma, setting him on the path to becoming Iron Man once again, and Marvel has been teasing Jane Foster's death, which would clear the way for the Odinson to reclaim Mjolnir and his place as Thor.
"No Surrender" is being teased as the culmination of an era of Avengers stories, and many suspect will lead to a new era where a more traditional Avengers team, likely built out of a roster of Marvel Cinematic Universe favorites, will come together just in time for the release of Avengers: Infinity War in theaters. As a founding member of the team, The Hulk would certainly be a part of the tradition.
The "No Surrender" event begins in Avengers #675, on sale January 10, 2018.
