If you are a fan of Marvel you definitely know who MCU Red Hulk is and here’s a little story about the Thunderbolt Ross aka Red Hulk. 

As a matter of fact, Thunderbolt Ross or can be called Thaddeus Ross hated hulk himself as a kid. As a young man, Thaddeus Ross enlists in the military and receives his nickname from his troops because he “struck like a thunderbolt” when leading them into action. He rises the ranks to General and boasts a powerful hatred of Bruce Banner, AKA the Hulk, spending his career hunting the monster down. In the comics, Ross is a high-ranking U.S. military officer with a deep hatred for the Hulk, and his obsessive pursuit of the creature leads him to become involved in a series of experiments that ultimately transform him into the MCU Red Hulk.

The transformation happens in The Incredible Hulk comics during the storyline known as “Red Hulk”, which debuted in 2008. Thunderbolt Ross, driven by a desire to defeat the Hulk once and for all, undergoes a procedure to give him Hulk-like powers. However, unlike Bruce Banner’s Hulk, Ross’s Red Hulk doesn’t turn green when he transforms. Instead, he becomes a larger, red-skinned version of himself with immense strength and power, but with a twist he retains his intelligence and military training when in his Hulk form, which makes him a much more strategic and calculating adversary.
