@Digi...
As confusing as it may sound, Banner activated a time push after the event of Super Hulk. He went back to the point of the radiation explosion (yet again). So it happened twice. Once when Hulk jumped in front of the explosion and during the last time when Banner jumped in front of the explosion.

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.
As far as I understand it, time in the MU works by branching out, each time you make an alteration, another time-line pops into being, branching off from that decision point.
This makes sense of things like "Future Imperfect" and "The End", which all "happen" but somehow the knowledge of one or the reality of the other do not seem to contradict or interfere with the present that Marvel 616 exists within.
Yet they couldn't resits the Marty McFly thing of having your present actions in the past cascade onto you - in your current past - making Banner forget crucial people in his life or pulling Hulk persona from different points in his time line ...

Oh and that feat, if I read it correctly, basically leaves "Hulk squared" in the past (and maybe thus, in the present) as a separate entity as well as returning Bruce Banner to "Savage Hulk" levels as he is Banner from the past.So now we have SpikeyHulk who is also the proper 616 Banner, somewhere in the universe and we have origin-point Banner - uploaded with the digitised consciousness of 616 Banner - as the primary Hulk of 616 (a Savage Hulk, at that).
I don't think the "Hulk squared" exists anymore, or ever existed, as a result of the Hulk smashing time. At the end of the issue Banner basically states that Hulk hit time so hard that it undid every paradox and contradiction in his own past that Zarrko and the Chronarchists had created - which, presumably, included the spiky Hulk and Banner downloading his brain into a younger version of himself.
Cheers.

I don't think even Stan Lee could punch out the Grandfather paradox.
tbh, I struggled to be bothered reading this comic - been that way with almost all of Waid's run - only really paid attention to the time-travel fight bit.

The stories are good.
Also, Banner states on panel that Hulk broke time "on his own". This isn't directed at you Janus.

So, what's the betting that he time-displaces himself, accidentally, whilst punching Thanos, next week?
Is Morlun the name of the character that could punch people forward through time? Excellent power to have.

It doesn't work exactly like that, it seems that there are specific points in time in which you can actually change a possible future, but it hase never been explained exactly how those moments are distinguished from one another. Conveniance is the actual answer, of course.
