Don't get me wrong, I think damage output and mechanics are spot on, but the number of green tiles black can generate seems a bit high? I have yet to see Hulk being OP with his black. But I can see how it might happen. Against level 141 opponents against a hulk who's just weak enough that 200 damage is enough to activate his black ability. He'd have to have around 3500-4000 HP so he's going to be somewhat low in level. Somehow my hulk always tosses his black countdown tiles in places it can quickly be made into a match-3 black for the Enemy Punisher.

Well, Hulk stops AoE, because if you aren't targeting him but use an AoE ability, you could trigger Anger, also OBW and her double damage trigger 2 Hulk Anger Tiles a lot of the time, Hulk is a good counter to that little gal.

During the second bracket of the Simulator event, and the prominent use I was making of my level 100 Doctor Doom, it got me to thinking who would pair up well with Victor that lets him have all the blue and black. Answer? Hulk. Leaves purple and yellow left to put together, which - oh right we don't have any purple/yellow combinations. We have a yellow/red/green in Lazythor, which just leaves purple, so you'd obviously pick Magneto - oh wait, we want Doctor Doom having all the blue and black! Nobody else allowed. Then I was reviewing my roster after getting a 4th BP black cover and realized I will never use Doctor Doom over Black Panther unless he's buffed (once both are on equal level, anyway), given BP uses blue, black, and yellow, compared to Vic's narrow minded focus. ...I got really off topic but tl;dr Hulk sucks, hard to pair up with other people given he has the worst red and green amongst any other options in 3* territory (discounting Ragnarok). Patch and Punisher puke out strike tiles with their green, while GSBW straight up murders teams while powering into that green with her purple. Hulk is just a lazy deterrent against bad teams, and given Punisher's ability to execute at 40%, and Patch (with 5 red) hitting for 3-5k in the right team comp (IM40 + Patch + Loki/Punisher comes to mind) will just obliterate people at the same level trying to use Hulk. He has some gimmicky ability with Patch's green in order to proc Anger, and in turn amplify how much damage Anger does to both teams, but.. again, self destructive gimmick.

This means that Hulk already did his job of slowing down the opponent in PvP, giving you more time to win your matches. Add in how he's a pretty strong scarecrow and results in less attacks, and its easy to see his value on defense.
