comics Respect The Hulk (Marvel Comics, Earth 6160)
"Eventually people will wonder, did the Ultimates ever really exist, or were they just a myth? Only the council will know the truth."
When The Maker went back in time to rebuild the world in his own image, he found he was too late to prevent the accident that turned Bruce Banner into Hulk. So instead of simply killing Hulk off like he had done with many others, he instead offered him to join his council. Hulk accepted, and while this Hulk is not as cruel as his original Ultimate counterpart, he is seemingly more evil than him.

Me again. I've read all of Hulk 6160's appearances and I have observed that he shares a lot of traits with another villain, Master Asia from G Gundam, and it is glorious:
-Both are designed as Chinese martial arts masters -Both supports and is a champion of a different country (Master Asia is Neo Japanese but supports Neo Hong Kong, Hulk is American but supports K'un Lun/China) -Both name their attacks -Both have mastery of martial arts that allow them to extremely outperform normal members of their 'race' (Master Asia' Toho Fuhai allows him to perform superhuman feats against other human fighters even without his Gundam, Hulk's mastery of the Atomic Iron Fist allows him to toy with She-Hulk while the latter is enraged and he is calm) -Both do villainous acts and justify it by thinking of the 'greater good' -Both are celebrated as heroes by the public
I feel that these traits make Hulk 6160 a very nuanced new character. The best part is we haven't seen him utilize his anger yet! Once the Earth 6160 storyline wraps up, I hope we still see more of this version of Hulk. He's more interesting than his Earth 616 counterpart at the time of this writing. Better yet I hope he gets his own comic in the future!
