A-Bomb

Rick Jones, longtime friend and ally of the Hulk, was transformed into a massive armored powerhouse with blue, armadillo-like plating. He emerged in the pages of Hulk #2 (2008), taking on the name A-Bomb.

Bursting onto the scene in 2008's Hulk #2 courtesy of the superstar creative team of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness, A-Bomb is a thoroughly Modern Age Marvel powerhouse whose very existence signals that the gamma-irradiated corner of the Marvel Universe is a wild, unpredictable place. Across seventeen years of adventures in titles like Hulk, Incredible Hulk, and Incredible Hulks, this blue-shelled bruiser has shared pages with some of the biggest names in Hulk mythology — Bruce Banner, Rick Jones, the Red Hulk, and the General himself, Thunderbolt Ross — keeping genuinely electrifying company. Whether you're a lifelong Hulk devotee or a newcomer drawn in by the sheer spectacle of gamma-powered chaos, A-Bomb is a vivid reminder of why Marvel's green (and red, and blue) corner of comics remains endlessly exciting.
