Incredible Hulk Costumes

Lou Ferrigno was an inspired choice for the Incredible Hulk. This 6ft 5 inch hunk of muscle was originally a bodybuilder who won Mr America and Mr Universe in 1969 and came second in the Mr Olympia competition in 1974. He also came fourth in the World’s Strongest Man contest in 1977. He then signed up with Universal Studios and beat both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Richard Kiel for the role of The Incredible Hulk – the rest is history.The Incredible Hulk was originally a Marvel Comic and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The Hulk burst onto the scene in 1962 as the alter ego of Dr. Bruce Banner. For some bizarre reason when the TV series was produced, it was decided to change from Bruce Banner to David Banner. Various reasons for this have been put about, but according to Stan Lee, they thought Bruce Banner sounded like a “gay character” name and that David sounded more masculine. Whatever the reason, they kept Bruce as the Hulk’s middle name.The TV series shows how David Banner, a brilliant but reserved physicist, was accidentally exposed to gamma radiation after a test detonation. It was the gamma radiation which mutated David’s body chemistry and caused him to transform into the huge and super-strong green-skinned Hulk When David returned to his normal state, he would have no memory of being the Hulk. He would come back to himself with tattered clothing and no knowledge of what had happened to him. His clothing bill must have been enormous! Anyway, from then on he became a fugitive from the military and his adventures ran and ran.Since then there have various movies including Hulk (2003) with Eric Bana and The Incredible Hulk (2008) starring Edward Norton. In both these movies, the Hulk was computer generated.
Unfortunately, the computer generated effects in the movies were not as realistic as the use of an actor. Personally, I think Lou Ferrigno is and will always remain the ultimate Incredible Hulk.
I love the Incredible Hulk character so much so that for a fancy dress event I dressed up as the Incredible Hulk which was extremely well received. If you dream of being super strong, why not try anIncredible Hulk Costumes
