The Whedon-Ruffalo-Avengers Hulk has been my favourite film adaptation so far, but having to deal with the curse of being the Hulk is such an integral part of the character's development, so a film like The Incredible Hulk was necessary to lay down the groundwork. Now that the groundwork is all laid out, Hulk can just be awesome. Fingers crossed for Incredible Hulk 2 in Phase 3 with the Leader.

As for Absorbing Man, the fact that they took his powers and gave them to Bruce's dad clearly shows that David Banner is the Ang-Lee-Hulk-film's interpretation of Absorbing Man. Having said that, because he isn't called that in the film, and because his character is so different, I probably wouldn't call him Absorbing Man. Having said that, I don't think it's wrong to call him that.
