I know that I'm late on this but can someone inform me on how hulk mutated into this doomsday esque being.
He was hit by the same gamma bomb that turned Banner into the Hulk. The difference theys time is, he went back in time as Hulk and was hit with the same radiation while he was in his Hulk form.

But he absorbed the radiation as Banner originally, yeah? Sending another body to absorb it again wouldn't double the amount absorbed, but halve it.
I don't even care about the time punch. W/e, you know. It's comics. But if what you say is correct, the writer failed at basic math.

Naah, he was the Hulk when he absorbed the radiation which doubled it. He/Hulk jumped in front of the bomb and absorbed the radiation.

The Banner that 'returned' to 616 is from the past, but with the downloaded consciousness of the 616 Banner and the Gamma-Bomb energies from the same origin-point but on the second go (when he pushed the chronarcist back in time a minute.
There should be, if the MU has any coherence to it, 2 "616 Hulk/Banner" entities now. One that is the genuine original 616 Hulk And one that is the digital brainwaves of the 616 Banner, downloaded into his younger self.
Messy time-travel plot, made worse by the frequent use of "looping time", whilst establishing the fact that time in MU branches off, rather than looping on it self.

Brevoort on Infinity #6 and Thanos' fight with the Avengers:"It's a glorious battle sequence. It's possibly the best full-out brawl that Thanos has been part of in a long time, if not ever. I think it will be supremely satisfying to people who feel like over the past five issues Thanos has been around, but he's been more of a commanding figure, and it's been the Black Order, the Builders out in space, and other guys who have commanded most of the attention."

I'm trying to understand this part.
"As soon as they finished battling with the Builders this problem with Thanos and the Earth has turned up, and that's very much the lot of life for an Avenger. So they're immediately off into this scenario, and in all likelihood, because we publish comics every month, once the Thanos problem is wrapped up there will be some other problem that requires their attention. It's a fairly unforgiving existence."
An Avenger. Singular.
Hhhhmmmm...I got this from the interview you posted.

"Hulk squared".The Banner that 'returned' to 616 is from the past, but with the downloaded consciousness of the 616 Banner and the Gamma-Bomb energies from the same origin-point but on the second go (when he pushed the chronarcist back in time a minute.

Ah, better. Still not sure it resolves anything about how the original Banner would have become Hulk in the first place once Hulk Squared happens. Shouldn't it negate the original Hulk transformation? But it's best not to think too hard about time travel plots, unless it's in the hands of a very nuanced writer. Even good time travel stories often have gaping holes.

No worries. I think I'm good now.
