President Thaddeus Ross

Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, longtime Hulk antagonist and U.S. military general, ascended to the presidency of the United States, bringing his deep personal history with Bruce Banner and the Hulk into the highest seat of American political power.

A figure of immense political weight stepping into the Marvel spotlight, President Thaddeus Ross made his debut in the pages of Hulk #3 in 2022, brought to life by the acclaimed creative team of Donny Cates and Ryan Ottley. This Modern Age incarnation places Ross at the highest seat of power, navigating a world where he shares the stage with titans like the Hulk, Bruce Banner, Thor Odinson, and Wolverine — extraordinary company that speaks to the high-stakes atmosphere of this run. Though his catalog footprint is still compact, the Cates/Ottley Hulk era is one of the most talked-about modern Marvel runs, making any character introduced within it worth keeping a close eye on.
