They are very similar to each other in terms of them being ordinary humans that got altered by something giving them powers. Are they all non human?And Captain America has more in common with Hulk (being an altered human himself) than he does to BW and Hawkeye. So how can you say only Hulk and Thor are the only non-humans when Cap actually fits this criteria, too.
Then I remember you saying tha mutants are "close" to humans and that is why Xavier can affect them, but somehow Xavier cannot affect non-humans. And you give Hulk as an example of non-human even tho he is just a human mutated by radiation?
So mutants are very close to humans even tho they're not but Xavier can affect them but Hulk is a non human and Xavier cannot affact non humans?
Not calling you out, but am genuinely curious what your justification for these comparisons are. Cuz it looks like your criteria is all over the place....
I never considered Hulk a human. Banner and Hulk are seperate enities as far as I know. I think of Hulk kinda like Etrigan in DC. I know Hulk isn't a demon and there's no magic involved but I've always seen Hulk as an actual monster that Banner tries to hold back. I don't mean a figuative monster, I mean an actual not human monster.
Maybe a better example would be Angel from the Buffy series. In that universe, when a person becomes a vampire, even tho they retain their memories and suchn they are not that person anymore. Their body is now controlled by a demon that believes they are that person but eviler i guess. When Angel got his soul back, he was in control of the vampire body. His demon counterpart Angelus was a completely seperate being and occasionally took control.
Anyway, I always saw Hulk as something like that. Not human but sharing the body of a man. That's why I see Hulk as different from the other examples.
