thanks. and, janus -- what do you mean hulk doesn't need to breathe . . .? 😕there are many examples of hulk showing he needs air, both in space and underwater . . .
also, Hulk can hold his breath/refrain from breathing, for considerable periods of time (walking across the ocean bed for example... which again negates this nonsense of a sleeper hold thing 😐.

in space, just before Planet Hulk, he was "breathing" without oxygen or atmosphere. SHIELD chalked it up to some kind of on-the-fly adaptation in his genes.also, Hulk can hold his breath/refrain from breathing, for considerable periods of time (walking across the ocean bed for example... which again negates this nonsense of a sleeper hold thing 😐.
didn't know about the adaptation thing. that's interesting AND new. i know he can hold his breath, but he'd need a chance to DRAW one. i could see a choke working if anyone were strong enough to hold it long enough. on-the-fly adapting is new and cool but there is a lot of precedent for his need to breathe.
hrm. now i'm not sure WHAT to think . . . 😕

Banner has mentioned in a couple books how the Hulk adapts. When he figured it out, he was shocked, because he had always thought the Hulk just used his huge lung capacity to stay underwater for long periods of time. Turns out it works more like SHIELD said, and it's been mentioned in a couple runs now by multiple writers.
