Marvel Comics: Breaking down 8 of the Incredible Hulk’s personalities
By Mark Lynch
Joe Fixit
This is a personality unlike any of the others on this list. He isn’t the genius that Banner is, but he’s definitely smarter than the regular Hulk. Meet Joe Fixit. This particular personality has more common sense than Bruce and the Hulk. His look and personality is more in line with a mob enforcer from Casino. He even wears striped suits. Sure, Joe has done heroic things, but he’s not exactly someone you’d call a hero. In his defense, being a Hulk in Las Vegas will definitely get you work as security.
In Immortal Hulk, Joe can’t change into his grey form. However, that doesn’t make him a non-threat. What he lacks in infinite strength he makes up for with street savvy, innovation, and charm. All of this allows him to work his way out of anything – a quality he has used more than a few times during this run. Furthermore, Joe has managed to save the Hulk from dying in a situation he had no business living through – particularly when he was being chased by Bushwacker. He learned that thinking Joe was helpless because he wasn’t big and grey was a mistake – and a fatal one at that.
