Incredible Hulk #87

A green-tinged standoff dominates this 2005 Marvel cover, where a fierce young woman — cover-billed as Scorpion — crackles with energy between the Hulk's two enormous clenched fists bearing down on either side of her. The taglines "Scorpion Sting! Hulk Smash!" set a tension-filled tone for "Awakening," the story within. Adam Kubert's cover art delivers real dramatic weight, framing this confrontation as a collision of raw power versus something a little more charged and defiant.
