MCU: Who Made The Hulk Bleed & Are They Still Alive?
Who all have made the Hulk bleed in the MCU, and are they still alive? Marvel has an alizé of characters and they all vary so much. For starters, we have Captain America and Iron Man who are mere mortals but still fighting E.T. threats. Then, we have legit Gods walking amongst us such as Thor and Loki. However, one Marvel character that stands out is Bruce Banner, aka Hulk. He’s often considered the most powerful MCU character but that’s not true. We saw what happened to him when he fought Thanos, and he hasn’t fought Captain Marvel too. But one thing is for sure, you do not want to piss off the Hulk. Due to the gamma radiation, his skin is nearly indestructible. However, there are 2 people in the MCU that made him bleed. But are they still alive? Check it out!
Abomination
You might be thinking – Abomination fought Hulk in The Incredible Hulk and that is not MCU canon. Well, it is now. First, because of Abomination in Shang-Chi, and second What If…? reimagining the events of the 2008 flick with Mark Ruffalo as Bruce. How is the Abomination born? Let’s take a trip. It all starts with Emily Blonsky’s innate desire to keep fighting even when he’s past his prime. As a result, General Ross signs him up for a super-soldier program, similar to Steve Rogers. Even though it works, Blonsky’s body mutates while his desire to get more power grows. He goes rogue and strongarm Samuel Sterns into giving him Banner’s irradiated blood and exposure to gamma rays. Hence, welcome the Abomination.
The first order of business that the serum plays on his body is to enhance the parts where he got injected, like the spine. This is the reason the bones in his back protrude and even from his elbows. This indeed changes his form, and even though he resembles the Hulk, he is much taller and stronger. The mixture of serums gives him an edge over the hero for a short time. During this time, Hulk is pinned, and Blonksy forces him to watch Betty Ross die in a helicopter crash. He then proceeds to stab Hulk in the chest, making it the first time that the Green Goliath bleeds. No, the Abomination is not dead as he was seen once again in Shang-Chi.
Fenris
Thor: Ragnarok was anything but an average movie. While we feast our eyes on the Goddess of Death and a cameo by Doctor Strange, there is a creature who really got our attention. Before all this, we see a much smarter and stronger Hulk who is loved by all of Sakaar and is a straight-up champ. This tells us that Hulk’s skin is also stronger and thicker than before as he’s evolving. However, the movie gives just the right action sequence to prove that.
Hulk goes off against Fenris, Hela’s so-called pet, and Fenris, during the fight, bites Hulk in the leg making him bleed. This marks the second time that the green beast bled in the MCU. One reason why Fenris could possibly pierce through Hulk’s skin is that it is just recently resurrected with the Eternal flame and definitely has magic running through his veins. And of course, Asgardians are known to hurt the Hulk in the past as well.
