The green giant we all know and love is no more. In a shocking rebranding move, The Incredible Hulk has changed his name to… wait for it… The Underwhelming Hulk. Just let that sink in.
The Wibble sent our top reporters to figure out just what the heck was going on with the big guy. After extensive research (read: we googled it), we finally got to the bottom of this seemingly bizarre decision.
As it turns out, The Incredible Hulk's name change was born out of a deep sense of… well… inadequacy. Apparently, our beloved Hulk has been feeling a tad "underwhelming" in the superhero community lately. His once-impressive feats of strength and heroism have been overshadowed by snarky quips from the likes of Spiderman and Iron Man.
As a result, The Underwhelming Hulk has been on a journey of self-reflection and self-improvement. His new name is a reflection of his newfound acceptance of himself- flaws and all. The usual rage-fueled outbursts? A thing of the past. The Underwhelming Hulk is now all about peaceful resolution and positive vibes.
Ironically, The Underwhelming Hulk's new approach has had the opposite effect on his image than he intended. He's been hailed as a trailblazer in the superhero world, with other heroes trying to emulate his newfound Zen-like state. The media can't get enough of him, and he's been featured on the cover of Hero Monthly (a huge honor, we hear).
All in all, we've got to hand it to The Underwhelming Hulk. It takes guts to step back and re-evaluate yourself, let alone change your name to embody your flaws. We're not quite sure how this newfound inner peace will play out in battle, but we're excited to see where The Underwhelming Hulk takes his new approach.
We could all learn something from his journey of self-discovery and reflection. Change can be scary, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Look out world - The Underwhelming Hulk is here to stay.
