Marvel Comics has unveiled its latest creation, the Silver Hulk, who receives extraordinary powers from Galactus. While fans have previously encountered variations like Red, Gray, and Purple Hulks, the Silver Hulk is being touted as the most formidable incarnation yet. He is set to engage in intense battles against Iron Man and the Avengers, showcasing his new strength.
The preview, which remains unlettered, illustrates how Galactus takes a unique interest in Bruce Banner, granting him the cosmic title of herald. This transformation reconfigures his human form into a shining silver version. As Bruce’s rage simmers below the surface, the Silver Hulk emerges, revealing newfound powers that allow him to penetrate once impenetrable barriers.

The Green Goliath’s Clash with Iron Man
The newest series, titled What If…? Galactus Transformed, explores alternate realities where Galactus empowers various heroes, including Gambit, Rogue, Moon Knight, Spider-Gwen, and now the Incredible Hulk, enhancing their existing abilities. The synopsis suggests that Galactus might come to regret his decision to empower Hulk due to the sheer might of this newly minted Argentine Avenger, who may wield the Power Cosmic in unimaginable ways. The series summary adds:
The first in a new series of one-shots that asks the question: What if Galactus recruited some of Marvel’s best and brightest heroes as his new cosmic heralds? See how the Power Cosmic transforms these once-familiar champions, twisting and turning all of Marvel history in their wake! In this tale, Galactus has conscripted Earth’s strongest warrior — the Incredible Hulk — into his service. But what will turn out to be the bigger mistake: trying to direct the fury of the Green Goliath… or giving the great mind of Bruce Banner a cosmic problem to solve?
The Silver Hulk Challenges the Blue Hulk’s Legacy
Hulk’s Previous Cosmic Legacy as Captain Universe
This transformation is not the Hulk’s first encounter with cosmic powers. Previously, his Blue Hulk form gained the awe-inspiring Uni-Power, featured in Captain Universe: Incredible Hulk #1 by Jay Faeber and Carlos Magno. In that arc, the Hulk was appointed as Captain Universe, acquiring abilities such as matter manipulation, cosmic consciousness, and flight. Although the Uni-Power ultimately diminished, it rendered him more potent than ever. With Galactus’s intervention, Hulk’s capabilities are once again set to reach new heights.
Traditionally, Hulk has embodied raw physical strength on Earth, but his new Silver form elevates him to an entity of cosmic prowess unparalleled by earthly standards. This transformational upgrade not only positions Hulk to confront Galactus but also hints at a thrilling escalation in the conflict with Iron Man and the Avengers, who will experience Bruce Banner’s fury in ways they have never encountered before.
What If…? Galactus Transformed Hulk? #1 is scheduled for release on January 1 from Marvel Comics, promising an exciting narrative for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
