Synopsis for "Dehulked"

Bruce Banner's old lab assistant Igor Drenkov attacks leads his group called the SteelCorps in a fight against the Avengers and uses a gamma energy-stealing weapon on Hulk. Now depowered, Bruce has to show the other Avengers he still their teammate as Igor Drenkov plans to use the stolen gamma energies to become the hero he wanted to be.

Notes

• As of this episode, Hulk can willingly switch between Bruce Banner and himself.
  • This was first implied in "Adapting to Change" when Hulk is shown as Bruce in the A.I.M. base.
  • This also creates a continuity error with Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., as in "Banner Day," it was explicitly stated by Betty Ross that Hulk could never become Banner again.
• Hulk's origin is contradicted from the brief nuances established in "Banner Day" and "Planet Doom" to more-closely resemble his Earth-199999 counterpart's backstory.

Trivia

• This episode establishes that while both Hulk and Bruce do share the same memories and body, they are not the same personality, as Bruce consistently refers to Hulk as "the big guy" and "the other guy."
  • This creates a mild continuity error with Hulk's appearances in his own show, where it is consistently implied that Hulk is Bruce, just in a constant state of anger.
  • This is similar to the comics, where Hulk is a split personality separate from Bruce Banner that gained full awareness of self due to the gamma radiation.
