I guess everyone has a little mean streak in us,
and anger's something that we have to control lest we flare up and
hurt people, physically or otherwise. In the 1960s, Stan Lee and
Jack Kirby fused atomic energy with that emotion, and gave us a
very tragic, misunderstood hero in the form of a grey coloured
Hulk. I still recall when I was young, reading a reprint on the
origin of the angry monster, where a scientist in an act of
selfless sacrifice, helped a young boy evacuate from a ground zero
site, therefore exposing himself to deadly doses of radiation from
an army bomb test. The rest as they say, is history, and a pop
culture icon was born.
