I know you locked me away for years. I know I scare you. What I do. What I am. But before any of the others… I was there protecting you. I’ll always protect you… ’cause I love you, you stupid kid. Somebody had to. Come on home.
From – The Immortal Hulk #13
This moment made me sad. Especially since the Hulk is Banner’s embodiment of a toy monster that protected him from his abusive dad in his mind.
