DOC SAMSON
Leonard Samson was born Leonard Skivorski, Jr. in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His father, Dr. Leonard "Leo" Skivorski, was a popular psychiatrist in his hometown who specialized in treating young women, often conducting extramarital affairs with them.[volume & issue needed] Mrs. Skivorski had nicknamed her husband "Samson" after his long hair. Leonard Jr. initially expressed disinterest in becoming a psychiatrist, perhaps because he resented his father's philandering. Despite this, he became a college professor and psychiatrist. After Robert Bruce Banner was temporarily cured of being the Hulk by siphoning off the gamma radiation that caused his transformations, Samson, who had been working with Banner/Hulk in his job as a psychiatrist, exposed himself to some of the siphoned radiation, granting him a superhumanly strong and muscular physique and causing his hair to turn green and to grow long, reminiscent of his biblical namesake. Initially, Samson's physical strength depends upon the length of his hair, though his gamma mutation eventually stabilized, making the length of his hair no longer a factor.
Unlike the Hulk, Doc Samson originally did not suffer from multiple personality disorder, and retained his genius intellect, however in recent years he has developed a split personality: his calm conscious personality "Leonard" and his rude personality "Samson".[volume & issue needed] He has conducted research on gamma beings like himself and has come to the conclusion that gamma mutation is largely determined by the subject's deepest sense of self. Hence, his form is based on a subconscious desire for superhuman power like the Biblical Samson.
While attacking the Thunderbolts, the telepath Mirage noted that Doc Samson, who was present in Thunderbolts Mountain, had some fascinating thoughts. In his mind she saw that, while his mental reactions to Norman Osborn and Moonstone were Hulk-like, he was still able to control himself from physically acting on those impulses.
Doc Samson possesses superhuman physical abilities as a result of exposure to high levels of gamma radiation. His exposure is considerably less than that of the Hulk or the Abomination. The gamma radiation mutated Samson's physique by adding considerable muscle and bone mass to his body, granting him high levels of superhuman strength. The exposure also turned his hair a bright shade of green. Initially, his strength was dependent on the length of his hair and the longer it was, the more powerful he became, although his mutation has since stabilized, making his hair length irrelevant. Samson's strength is equal to that of the Gray Hulk, AKA Joe Fixit, while the latter is in a calm emotional state. Unlike the Hulk, however, Samson's strength doesn't increase due to adrenaline surges while angry. As a result, Samson is ultimately far less powerful than the Hulk. Samson is able to leap great distances vertically and horizontally, though not nearly as far as the Hulk or Abomination.
Aside from granting him more muscle mass, Samson's ? tissues are fortified and are considerably harder than those of an ordinary human, granting him a high level of resistance to physical injury. Samson can withstand falls from great heights, extremes of temperature, high-caliber bullets, and tremendous impact forces like being repeatedly struck by the Hulk without sustaining injury. Due to his highly advanced musculature, his muscles produce considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human, granting him superhuman stamina. He has demonstrated sufficient stamina to battle a mindless incarnation of the Hulk for more than six hours.
The discovery of a new persona within Leonard's psyche, which he calls "Samson," reveals that Doc Samson is capable of much higher powers than previously observed.
Like others who have gamma induced powers, Doc Samson is immune to terrestrial diseases. Unlike the Hulk, Abomination, or even She-Hulk, Samson hasn't demonstrated any accelerated healing powers.
Samson is said to be one of the most renowned psychiatrists on Earth.[55] He is often called on to counsel various superhumans, such as the members of X-Factor. He has a M.D. in psychiatry, and is a skilled theoretical technician and inventor of various medical devices.[citation needed] His extensive study of the mind also permits him a significant degree of resistance to telepathy and telepathic attacks.
Samson is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, which, coupled with his physical attributes, has allowed him to engage the Hulk for extended periods of time, and briefly held his own against the combined forces of Iron Man, Wonder Man, Sub-Mariner, and Hercules, after they had first fought the mindless Hulk.[21] He sometimes uses psychology as a tool to get through a more powerful opponent's guard, such as an Infinity Gem-empowered Titania. -
DEVIL HULK
The Devil Hulk is the malevolent, amoral, personality of Bruce Banner, personifying all of Banner's resentment at the way he is treated by the world. He is also one of the Hulk's enemies, constantly threatening to escape confinement in Banner's mind and destroy the world in revenge. Banner first encountered this Hulk after the Guilt Hulk resurfaced, on a mental journey to stop the creature. Chained and bound deep within Banner's mind, the Devil Hulk offered his assistance against the Beast, as the only personality who could ignore Banner's guilt, in return for his release. Banner refused, leaving the Devil Hulk still chained, but he escaped into Banner's psyche a short while afterwards when the machinations of General Ryker shattered the barriers keeping him imprisoned. Fortunately, he was finally contained in Banner's subconscious by Banner, the Savage Hulk and Joe Fixit. It is assumed that while calm, the Devil Hulk can lift well over 100 tons.
The Devil Hulk is a much more darker and sinister than the average Hulk incarnation. As he is an obscure image of the Hulk's true, destructive power, setting him free would possibly result in everything Bruce Banner knew and loved being annihilated or killed. His innitial powers consist of everything the Hulk is capable of, which makes him a mirrored match in a fight against the Hulk, possessing incredible strength, stamina, agility and healing factor. But what makes this dark entity different to the Hulk is:
Intelligence - Not only is the Devil Hulk much bigger and even possibly stronger than Savage Hulk, but he also possesses the intelligence of Bruce Banner or even Merged Hulk. This means that the Devil Hulk is not only brawn, but brains too!
Cunning - The saying "a deal with the devil" pretty much rounds off the Devil Hulk. When Bruce finds him chained up, Devil Hulk promises Bruce that if he frees him, he shall assist the other hulks and fight the Guilt Hulk for him. However, Bruce knows that if he does let him free, he shall only cause even more havok, and so leaves the Devil Hulk imprisoned in the Ark.
Terrakenisis - He also has the ability to manipulate terrain and rock formations. In The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, one of Devil Hulk's attacks include raising large, stalagmite-like rock structures in an attempt to attack the Hulk and send him flying into the air. During the battle, he sometimes crawl into a huge "waist-deep" pit, that, presumably, he must have dug himself, possibly to escape Bruce's mind. This could suggest that he can also dig or burrow, which also probably suggests why he has rather large claws to hack at tough rock formations.
Psych - This is where the Devil Hulk's evil, frightening looks, deep voice come and cunning come into place. He has the ability to frighten opponents or intimidate them psychologically (through the mind). He can make them panic or loose concentration, which gives him the chance to lash out an attack when the opponent is put off guard. The Hulk (or Bruce Banner for that matter), being lonely, misunderstood, abused in childhood and hated, makes an excellent target to break down, mentally.
The Devil had never been seen until recently. Bruce Banner finally began to look around inside his mind, perhaps this was the first time he was really able since Dr. Angela Libscombe's machine finally took him inside his real mind, when he noticed a cave off to the side. There he saw countless Hulks all encased inside ice. All save one who seems to have melted his way out of his ice. He was still manacled to the wall thankfully when he introduced himself to Bruce as The Devil. "The Devil you know over the devil you don't.
When General Ryker cracks the secret of why any Hulk comes out depending on the circumstance he manages to melt the ice in the cave. With the ice melted all the inhabitants are free to roam. Devil Hulk confronts Banner on his way out.
After the situation in the cave most of the Hulks realize that they don't want to get out, but the Devil Hulk seems to still be active.
The Devil seems to believe he represents Banner's own self loathing. If that's the case you can bet that this Hulk will be one of the strongest yet.

RICK JONES
Rick Jones was born in Scarsdale, Arizona. He lost his parents at a young age and grew up at an orphanage. He gains notoriety when he accepts a dare to drive out to a bomb testing ground in New Mexico. As luck would have it, the gamma bomb designed by Dr. Robert Bruce Banner is being tested. Banner pushes Rick into a protective trench, saving his life but absorbing the gamma rays that first transform him into the Hulk. Rick then becomes the sole confidant of the Hulk's true identity.
Rick's guilt over causing the incident (and lack of any other place to go) leads him to stay close to Dr. Banner and his alter ego, spending some time as the Hulk's sidekick. For a time, he even gains mental control over the Hulk. Eventually the dangerous unpredictability of the Hulk forces Rick to keep his distance
A-Bomb
In the aftermath of "World War Hulk", a new Red Hulk emerged, brutally beating and then shooting the Abomination to death.[volume & issue needed] After this occurred, Jones escaped from a secret base in Alaska that had been destroyed in a "Hulk-like" manner.[volume & issue needed] Following this, Red Hulk confronts Jones at Gamma Base, where Bruce Banner is being held. In defense, Jones inexplicably transforms into a creature resembling the Abomination, calling himself A-Bomb. During the fight, the base security measures activate, and giant android harpies (with the face of Betty Ross) attack the two, and attempt to remove them from the base. A-Bomb manages to disable one mid-flight, and they both crash to earth, the robot exploding as it does.
A-Bomb joined with several heroes including the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, She-Hulk and the Hulk to help stop an impending earthquake in San Francisco, which was caused by Red Hulk. After the Red Hulk was defeated, A-Bomb reverted back to Rick. He attempted to reveal who Red Hulk really was, but was shot and dragged away by Doc Samson. In Incredible Hulk #600 it is revealed the reason Doc Samson shot Rick Jones is because he now has multiple personality syndrome. It's also revealed that MODOK was involved in Rick's new condition. After Red Hulk drained the gamma energy from Hulk, A-Bomb had enough intelligence to get Bruce Banner to safety In Incredible Hulk #604, A-Bomb was shown to be fully healed, participating along with Korg as Skaar's sparring partner to prepare him for the time when the Hulk will return. In the same issue, Rick was reunited with Marlo, who was transformed by the Leader into Harpy, whom Bruce mistakes for Betty Ross.
It was eventually revealed that Rick was transformed into A-Bomb by the Intelligencia under command of the Leader and MODOK. Using the Abomination's blood they changed him to become their weapon, but soon learned that he could not be controlled as easily as they planned. Instead, they gave him one simple command with a certain trigger—? Bruce Banner. Suspecting this, Bruce was able to trigger Rick at an appropriate time and talk him down, making it so Rick would not be triggered in the future when his plans were to be carried out.[volume & issue needed] During the Chaos War storyline, A-Bomb and Korg assist the Hulks in fighting Abomination, a Zom-possessed Doctor Strange, and the forces of Amatsu-Mikaboshi. It is later revealed that Rick is able to revert between A-Bomb and his normal form.
Powers and abilities
Rick Jones is an athletic man that previously had no superhuman powers. He has received training in combat gymnastics by Captain America. He is also a skilled self-taught folk and rock n' roll singer and guitarist.
At one point Jones wielded the Destiny Force, a powerful ability utilized during the Kree-Skrull War storyline. With this power, through focus, he was able to perform amazing feats such as pull various members of the superhero team Avengers from the past, present and future, although this assault is generally random unless another controlling influence, such as Libra, is assisting him.
Jones's latent psionic potential was once unleashed by the Kree Supreme Intelligence, but he cannot utilize it at will. He was also for a time able to shift spacial/temporal positions with Mar-Vell, and later Genis-Vell.
After being held captive and put under extreme experiments by the Intelligencia, Rick Jones has gained the ability to turn into a creature resembling the Abomination, granting him vast superhuman strength and durability (even the Red Hulk only caused superficial damage), but stunting his speech patterns in a similar manner to the classic Hulk persona.
His scales can change color to blend in with his surroundings. Following experimentation on him by MODOK, Rick's human persona became dominant, but at the price of trapping him in A-Bomb form Although Bruce speculates in a later storyline that this is actually a deliberate, albeit subconscious, action on Rick's part, Rick wanting to prevent anything else being hurt while saving him like Bruce was when he was originally transformed into the Hulk by ensuring that he is always ready if he is attacked. Due to the Hulk's wish, Rick can now transform at will with his mind in control.

NUTRIENT BATH NULK
It's difficult to call this version of the Hulk an incarnation since none of the usual rules apply. This is truly a 'mindless' Hulk. Banner is not just submerged, but removed entirely. Doc Samson devised a way to remove all the cells that were exclusively Banner from the collective Banner/Hulk body. The result was an animalistic Hulk that still reacted with violence first.
Like the Mindless Hulk this Hulk seemed to access his strength increase easily, however as this Hulk was incomplete genetically it had a definite cap to it's strength. In fact it was found that the Hulk actually began to grow weaker as the molecules in his body began to dissipate since they were not held together in conjunction with Bruce Banner's cells.
This Hulk represents nothing except maybe that if science has the technology to do something it shouldn't necessarily do it.
Limitations: Well besides the obvious disadvantage of dispersing his cells further and further apart until they weaken and eventually begin to ? Hulk. This Hulk, like the Mindless Hulk is very stupid. This Hulk is even more stupid as the Mindless Hulk could at least learn. This Hulk if not engaged in battle would simply wander away to destroy something else.

THUNDERBOLT ROSS
General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross, the man who would become the most frequent nemesis of the superhuman monster known as the incredible Hulk, was born into a family with a proud tradition of military service. Ross's grandfather served heroically under General Sherman in the Union army during the Civil War; Ross's father became a general while fighting in the Argonne during World War I. As a boy Thaddeus Ross immersed himself in the study of military history. Later he learned how to fly by barnstorming at county fairs.
Thunderbolt Ross in human form.
As a young man, Ross graduated first in his class at West Point. He married Karen Lee, the daughter of the captain who was his commanding officer at the time.
Ross rapidly rose in rank and was a captain when he went to fight World War II in the Pacific theater of operations. It was during the war that Ross made his great reputation as a leader in combat. His troops during the war in the Pacific gave him the nickname "Thunderbolt," since, they said he "struck like a thunderbolt" when leading them into action. Ross also served for a time in Europe during World War II and was present at the liberation of the prisoners of the infamous concentration camp at Auschwitz. By the end of World War II, Ross had become a major.
Between World War II and the Korean War, Ross was stationed at the nuclear research facility at Los Alamos, New Mexico. It was here that he met nuclear physicist Brian Banner, the father of Robert Bruce Banner, with whom Ross would work years later.
Ross had risen to the rank of colonel by the time he was sent to fight in the Korean War. It was during Korea that Ross finally became a brigadier general in the U.S. Air Force.
"Thunderbolt" Ross gloried in combat, so he was dissatisfied with the "desk jobs" he was given before and after the Korean War. He eventually came to hold the rank of lieutenant general.
Ross's wife, Karen, bore him only one child, his daughter Elizabeth "Betty" Ross. Karen Ross died when Betty was in her early teens. General Ross, now in command of Desert Base, New Mexico, a missile base and nuclear research site, believed that it was not the right place to raise a young girl and sent her off to boarding school. After completing her education, Betty, devoted to her sole surviving parent, returned to Desert Base to live near her father.
Bruce Banner, a genius in nuclear physics, was sent by the United States government to Desert Base to oversee construction and test his invention, the Gamma Bomb, a nuclear weapon that produced a high gamma radiation output.
General Ross resented the fact that Banner, a civilian, was supervisor of the project. Moreover, the general had contempt for the unathletic, intellectual Banner for failing to live up to Ross's own vision of true manhood. Making matters worse for Ross was the growing attraction developing between Banner and Betty, whom he hoped would marry a military officer.
[img]http://x.annihil.us/u/? /marvel/i/mg/c/20/4be81b5be306f.jpg[/img]
During the initial test of the Gamma Bomb, Banner was exposed to intense, massive gamma radiation, which, due to an unknown genetic factor in his body did not ? him, but instead caused him to transform sporadically into the superhumanly strong monster known as the Hulk[1]. Although the details varied over the years, the Hulk usually possessed little of Banner's memories and intelligence, and was easily enraged. Hence, the Hulk was considered a menace, and Ross began his long career of hunting the Hulk.
At first, Banner managed to keep secret the fact that he was the Hulk; his sole confidante was his young friend Rick Jones. Indeed, since the Hulk looked radically different from Banner, there was no reason for anyone to suspect that Banner physically transformed into the Hulk. However, Banner's mysterious disappearances and reappearances under strange circumstances, all due to his recurring transformations, led Ross to suspect Banner of treasonous activities and of a possible alliance with the Hulk itself. To prove his suspicions about Banner, Ross brought Major Glenn Talbot to Desert Base as its new security chief. Talbot soon took an intense dislike to Banner as well, and shared Ross' suspicions of him. Talbot also became attracted to Betty Ross, and the general hoped that she would shift her affections from Banner to the major[2]. The Pentagon designated Ross as head of "Operation Hulk," the project to find, ? , or capture the powerful menace.
Eventually, wrongly convinced that the Hulk was dead, Rick Jones revealed to Talbot and to Betty Ross that Bruce Banner was the Hulk. Shortly afterwards, Betty and Talbot witnessed Banner's transformation, and Ross and the general populace learned of Banner's dual identity. -
BANNER HULK
Height: 7' 0"
Weight: 1,040 lbs.
Intelligence: Genius
Strength: Superhuman Strength Class 75 (with potential for Superhuman Strength Class 100)
Special limitations: Generally speaking the Hulk is powered by rage and fury. The emotionally repressed mind of Bruce Banner, for the most part, was incapable to developing or expressing the rage needed to feul the anger that accelerated the Hulk's strength. Banner was also too calculated and in situations where the Savage Hulk would have just barrelled on without thought Banner would hesitate in his actions.
In the early years of the Hulk every once in a while the "miracle" of control over the Hulk's body with the mind of Bruce Banner would occur. Generally speaking these occurences would end without any explanation. Hulk would simply revert to his Gravage persona. Bruce would always lose control, probably due to his issues with rage and violence brought on by the abuse and ravings of his father. In order to avoid being like Brian Banner, Bruce most likely just gave up control of the intelligent control.
It was a bizarre turn of events that lead to Bruce Banner's longest run of intellect controling the Hulk's body. The Hulk was returning from the dimesion of Rocket Racoon, a rare treat in and of itself, when his body was altered. Bruce soon found that he could control the transformations and retain control. Mentally however Bruce was not ready to unleash the monster within himself, and almost immediately doubts arose about whether Bruce could keep the monster persona in control. Things were not helped by Nightmare who tormented Bruce into what is now known as the Mindless Hulk.

WENDIGO
Several people have been afflicted with the curse of the Wendigo, including Paul Cartier, Georges Baptiste, Francois Lartigue, Lorenzo, Mauvais and others.
The curse is regional to the woods of Northern Canada and takes place, under the right conditions, when a person in the forests of Canada feeds on human flesh. This "Curse of the Wendigo" was created by the Northern Gods (also known as "the Inua") in an effort to deter human cannibalism. The cannibal transforms into a superhumanly strong, nearly indestructible, fur-covered monster: the Wendigo. He or she then roams the woods eating human beings. The Wendigo has frequently fought the Hulk, Wolverine, and Alpha Flight. Paul Cartier transformed into the Wendigo, battled the Hulk, and escaped. He battled the Hulk again and encountered Wolverine,and then battled the Hulk and Wolverine; Paul Cartier was cured as college professor Georges Baptiste became the Wendigo. He later terrorized a snowbound group. He battled Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and members of Alpha Flight; the Baptiste Wendigo was captured and cured by Shaman. Fur trapper Francois Lartrigue later transformed into the Wendigo, battled the Hulk when Bruce Banner stumbled across a cabin belonging to him, and Sasquatch, and was taken to be cured by Shaman.
In King Size Hulk #1, it is revealed that a pack of Wendigo exist in the Bering Strait after Red Hulk is attacked by a Wendigo, attracted by his camp fire while cooking a meal. A Wendigo bites the Red Hulk on the shoulder and he bleeds hot radioactive blood. He shoots the Wendigo in chest a few times with a rifle and wounds the creature, but it uses its long tail to damage his gun's sight scope. Angered, the Red Hulk reveals he gets hotter the madder he gets and then kills one Wendigo; the others come to claim the body and eat it.%20(FB-DCP)/Wolverine%20Origins%20028-1415.JPG)
The Wendigo possesses a variety of superhuman physical abilities as a result of transformation by an ancient mystical curse. The curse causes anyone that ingests the flesh of another human, while within the Canadian wilderness, to transform into the Wendigo.
The Wendigo possesses superhuman physical strength of an unknown limit. It is known that the Wendigo possesses sufficient strength to go toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk.
Aside from its vast strength, the tissues of the Wendigo's body are considerably stronger than those of a human being, providing it with superhuman durability. A Wendigo's body can resist high caliber machine gun rounds without sustaining injury. If a Wendigo is injured, it can recover from the physical trauma with tremendous speed and efficiency, giving rise to the quote "strike him down and he shall only rise again". The dense fur covering the Wendigo's body grants it immunity to the harsh conditions of the extreme cold weather common in the areas in which the Wendigo has appeared. The Wendigo can be rendered unconscious by sufficient force, such as severe physical injury and trauma, but it has even been able to regenerate from being completely disemboweled, including having its heart removed from its body. However, consumption of a removed heart will confer all powers and even the form of the Wendigo on whoever consumes it. It is not known what effect psionic attacks would have on or against a Wendigo.
Despite the Wendigo's great size, it can run at speeds greater than that of an Olympic level athlete. The enhanced musculature of the Wendigo generates less lactic acid than the muscles of a human being, granting it superhuman levels of stamina.
The Wendigo's fingers and toes are tipped with razor sharp, retractable claws that are capable of piercing even the Hulk's skin, a feat usually reserved for adamantium, due to a combination of the toughness of the claws and the Wendigo's massive physical strength.
Even though each Wendigo was once a human being, in most cases very little is left of the person it once was. It possesses little intelligence and can be considered non-sentient, and with the exception of brief and rare instances, is unable to remember things about its former life. It also lacks the ability to speak anything other than its own name, which it often will yell and repeat during its attacks. Sorcerers such as Mauvais and Lorenzo have been able to avoid this aspect of the curse, using magic to gain the power of the Wendigo while keeping their intelligence and the power of speech.

MINDLESS HULK
Height: 7' 0"
Weight: 1,040 lbs.
The Mindless Hulk posesses all the powers of the Savage Hulk with one notable exception. While the power works the same way the results are very different. The Mindless Hulk is a result of Bruce Banner completely withdrawing himself from the equation of the Hulk. As a result the anger of the Hulk, and therefore the strength, is limitless.
As stated before the Mindless Hulk is the Hulk without the Bruce Banner persona exercising any influence. Bruce Banner had just "enjoyed" the longest run of his brain in the Hulk's body to date, but lost control both due to his own insecurities and the influence of Nightmare. Bruce was tired of fighting the Savage Hulk, who was trying to get out, and as a result withdrew completely.
It's my theory that perhaps the Mindless Hulk is an incarnation of Banner's state of babyhood. When Dr. Strange finds Bruce Banner withdrawn within Hulk's mind he finds him curled up in the fetal position as a baby in a ? might be. The proposed idea of Banner's psychic suicide is dismissed as he resurfaces after a time. The other reason I'm lead to believe the Mindless Hulk represents Banner as a baby is that each time Mindless went out he seemed to learn. Usually a very hard lesson. But Hulk only remained speechless for a short time. Eventually Hulk learned and acted more as he learned more. Eventually Mindless' learning lead to the re-emergence of the Savage Hulk, long recognized as Banner's childhood, as a baby will turn into a child through learning and growth. Banner's hurt goes all the way back to his days as a baby when his father would do his best to keep Bruce alienated from his mother.
Special limitations: Unlike the Hulks of old this Hulk never had to worry about transforming back into Bruce Banner. However, this wasn't without it's price. Mindless Hulk was just that...mindlesss. He had no reasoning abilities and was impossible to deal with.

I really don't care for Rulk; I might skim through his comic at the comic store but I never brought his issues. But I respect him he brought something new, Rulk came in and slap the ? out of The Watcher broked Savage Hulk arm and was kickin Thor's ass. I ain't a hater I got him coming up, that's why I did General Thunderbolt first, but I don't care for Rulk, lol -
I just find it wierd...he made hulk current run intresting but do we really need 2 hulks man? 2 she hulks....and his sons and daughters...should only be 2 big greens...banner and the one with ?

It makes sense to keep Red Hulk. Imagine if writers ATTEMPTED to add green hulk to the Avengers vs Xmen? ? would make no sense when the Green Scar laid the greatest ass whooping to the entire Charles Xavier Campus just a few years back. Marvel needs a big man on the Avengers and the Red Hulk fits the bill.

Red Hulk did made the Hulk interesting because nobody knew who this new Hulk whoppin ass and taking names and there was somebody finally knocked Hulk off his thrown, for a minute RULK was the new bully on the block and there was a love and hate with him in Marvel, Plus his Powers was different too so that's what make him interesting because he was absorbing the energy out of people so he was unstoppable for a hot minute.
