A stunning and entertaining cosplay has recently emerged, brilliantly merging the iconic Hulk with a festive twist: Santa Claus. Surprisingly, Santa is a recognized character within the Marvel Universe, embodying a tougher image than one might expect.
This creative approach may evoke nostalgia for dedicated Hulk fans who recall the memorable clash between the Grey Hulk and Santa in The Incredible Hulk #378. This unique fusion exemplifies how fan creativity can revitalize beloved characters in unexpected ways.
Brent H, known as @bearded_tattooed_guy_in_ga on Instagram, has made a name for himself in the cosplay community with his phenomenal oversized creations. His impressive lineup includes characters like Rhino, Solomon Grundy, Sentinel, and, of course, the iconic Hulk.
Hulk Meets Santa: An Epic Character Mash-Up for the Holidays

Brent’s striking Santa-Hulk cosplay has been showcased extensively on his Instagram, where he humorously declared, “Santa-Hulk is getting ready to hit the holiday season with full force!” Among the reels he shared is one that captures Brent in full Hulk mode beside an impressively large red sled, which appears diminutive next to his giant presence. In another engaging post, Brent’s Santa-Hulk strides through the streets during the Christmas parade in Dallas, Georgia. This spectacle not only garnered Brent well-deserved recognition for his craftsmanship but also likely spread Marvel-themed joy among the parade-goers.
This cosplay serves as a fantastic reminder of Santa Claus’s existence within the Marvel Universe, making it a delightful character mash-up. Although the character portrayed isn’t the well-known Santa of Marvel lore but rather a figure reminiscent of Rhino disguised as a mall Santa, it’s hard not to think of that legendary encounter when the Hulk took on the pretender.
Marvel Needs to Elevate Their Santa-Hulk Offerings

Brent’s exceptional Santa-Hulk cosplay opens the door for Marvel to enhance their representation of this whimsical hybrid. While the company has explored the Santa-Hulk concept through covers such as Ed McGuinness’ Green Hulk Santa Variant for Hulk #9 in 2008, the Hulk has yet to don the full Santa beard in the comics—a visual fans crave after witnessing Brent’s imaginative take. Regardless of whether Marvel decides to embrace this festive vision, Brent’s Santa-Hulk stands as a defining holiday mash-up that fans will cherish for years to come.
