Hulk Gains Spider-Powers and an Awesome New Costume in Spider-Man Art
Warning! Spoilers for Hulk #6 by Marvel Comics below
The Incredible Hulk gets a spiffy Spider-Man upgrade in new Marvel Comics cover art which imagines the hero with a web-slinger twist. In the new variant cover for Hulk #6 by Alex Garner, the Jade Giant gets his own Spider-Man suit and powers as the heroes merge into one. The combination hero might be the most destructive version of Spider-Man to date.
In the current Hulk series by Donny Cates, Ryan Ottley, Cliff Rathburn, and Frank Martin, Bruce Banner is about to face off against one of the scariest versions of Peter Parker ever. In an alternate reality where the Gamma bomb test that turned Banner into the Hulk actually succeeded, creatures known as Abominations were created by President Thunderbolt Ross as weapons of war. It led to Peter Parker becoming one of the most terrifying Hulks ever. In a fun future variant cover, Marvel imagines Hulk getting his own Spider-Man powers and costume.
On his Twitter account, artist Alex Garner revealed his upcoming cover for Hulk #6 by Marvel Comics. In the variant cover, the Hulk gets his own Spider-Man costume as he swings through a building (as Garner puts it, like the Kool-Aid man), showing off a spider-powered Jade Giant. The Hulk/Spider-Man combination hero has his version of the web-slinger's white-eyed mask while sporting a one-piece suit. In addition, the variant has its own web-shooters, which keep the Hulk-Spider-Man moving as he crashes through the side of a building. Garner did a great job reimagining the heroes as one.
The Hulk #6 by Marvel Comics, on which the Spider-Man/Hulk variant cover will appear on, is set to be a transformational story for the Hulk. The preview teases that he will lose control of Starship Hulk while something new takes control. The issue is also set to be the debut of Titan, the deadliest Hulk ever, who's set to cause some serious problems for Bruce Banner and fuel his rage into the future.
The first arc of Donny Cates and Ryan Ottley’s mind-blowing Hulk saga will reach its epic climax as Bruce Banner’s control over Starship Hulk slips…and something much worse takes the wheel. The new threat that emerges promises to smash the HULK mythos to its core and will fuel Bruce Banner’s rage for the foreseeable future.
While the Spider-Man/Hulk combination hero won't appear in Hulk #6 as he is just a creation for a variant cover, seeing the two Avengers merge as one makes for an interesting new creation. This particular Hulk variant with Spider-Man's powers and a new costume looks like he'd make a menacing, albeit destructive, force in the Marvel Universe. Readers can pick up Alex Garner's Spider-Man/Hulk cover when Hulk #6 by Marvel Comics arrives in comic book stores on April 20, 2022.
