What do you mean by "get up"? Hulk has recovered from "death" before. Remember that Hulk is nigh immortal. He can recover from injuries that would be fatal. Hulk can fully reform his body, almost like an Eternal.

I don't think we know the full extent of Hulk's healing abilities. If you were to atomize the Hulk....would he reassemble? I thought that was what happened with Maestro. If that's the case, then he'd most certainly heal from "mental" death.
Yes, that's exactly what happened. After being sent back in time to ground zero of the original test site, The Gamma Bomb reduced Maestro to atoms. Somehow, his psyche was able to reassemble his body, like an Eternal.
Comic Book Magic indeed.

Neurons are physical cells. Combine that with comic book magic and you have a brand new functioning brain.
Well thats the wrong word as well then. Forgive me im not a science student. I believe brain waves is a sufficient term. lol. They are not something that can be restored by a healing factor.

Ahhh but that was a gamma bomb which caused hulk to be blown to shreds. The gamma bomb augmented hulk and as stated in his handbook factored into him being able to reassemble himself as Maestro. The additional dose of gamma radiation is how you account for the differences between Hulk and Maestro.
That is also an alternate reality occurrence and unless someone can provide scans showing hulk performing similar feat sin 616 then the point is moot.

His heart was stopped. That is the medical definition of dead. Your heart can be restarted sometimes, and if it's in time you won't suffer brain damage, but you were still dead.
That's also an assumption though, because it's not explicitly stated that Storm is restarting his heart in the manner of a defibrillator.
That's the only point I am making- I don't know for sure he wasn't dead, I just don't know that he was. It isn't stated.
I'm not sure the 'synapses' argument is sound. Banner was shot in the head before, with no visible effect.
GalacticStorm- I think you are arguing about mind versus brain, is that right? IE the brain can physically be healed (in theory) but the tissue that replaces it will be different.
I don't think it really applies to the Hulk- but then, applying science to comic books isn't actually that productive.

It didn't rip him to shreds. It seperated his molecules into atoms.
The Gamma Bomb didn't turn Hulk into the Maestro. Old age, a couple nuclear wars, and a hatred for humanity did. Maestro is an insane Professor Hulk from the future.
After breaking Merged Hulk's neck, Maestro told him, "Death doesn't mean the same thing for us that it does for others. Somehow, some way, we always come back. What part of 'incredible' didn't you understand?"
It is a 616 occurence. I have the issue. It sounds like you might be a bit confused about it.

I think she's referring to Hulk's metaphysical psyche. Thing is, he's got thousands of them. It's a very poor argument.
