Reed Richards coming!!!

His powers are just way too close to the Immortal Hulk to be a third Hulk in the 5* tier.  Not to mention we have yet to have three of the same characters in the same tier - it's already pretty excessive to have two.  On the other hand, these powers are extremely "Hulk like" so it seems very likely this is someone in the Hulk's Orbit.

Looking through lists, Abomination doesn't seem to have the "come back from the dead" power, at least as much, as the Hulk does, but he does regenerate.  This actually seems like a really great match for the Wendigo, who just plain can't be killed normally, but that's a pretty deep cut I think.

Immortal She-Hulk is a character that exists in Marvel, so it looks incredibly likely to simply be her.

I'm with the majority and believe this is Professor Hulk too. Seems like a decent character, but I think I'll pick KK over pHulk to unhoard on.

If this is another Hulk, I wouldn't be surprised if the special store release was a pHulk/iHulk/bHulk store especially with Banners rebalance. Or maybe with the new Genius affiliation it could be something like pHulk/IM/Doom.

That seems incredibly likely.  Since they have the affiliation "Heroes" it can't be Abomination or Wendigo or something like that, and as I said, the powers are just too similar to iHulk to be another Banner.  It's completely redundant.

Plus they've already said the 4* feeds this new 5*

Eh, nothing here seems like it's cause for celebration, other than maybe that red passive if Smart Hulk had someone else who could reliably send enemies airborne for cheap.  Dude's just a tank.  I don't see it.

He’s a fantastic partner for both JThor and Chasm. JThor will hide behind him and nuke anything to death, and this guy plus Chasm will be a huge pain to finish off. You gotta get both of them in one turn to end the match

Also, chasm needs some requeriments to revive.
Ihulk severely damages himself and allies.
This character revives for free, tanking everything, and only requires alive partners.
In other words, an excellent 5* character, if not another meta one.

Yea, I guess that was what I was trying to say - he might not be terrible, but I don't think he's going to end up being meta.  I'm not worried about him and Chasm, since Smart Hulk will most likely be tanking Green and Black over Chasm, which really only leaves Purple matches to generate Abyss tiles.  As an exmaple - No one cares about Sersi, and she can at least minorly influence her revive conditions.

iHulk's revive is neat and occasionally annoying with the team damage, but his trick is that green AOE.  Without that, no one would use him.  With that, plus Okoye or Apoc or another dmg booster, it's insane.  There's no in-between.  Honestly, none of the revivers are good at what they do because of the revive (unless you end up in an Ikaris lock).  If there's another character that can reliably send enemies airborn and Smart Hulks red passive works as it reads AND it's a decent amount of damage (20% plus), then Smart Hulk becomes insane.  Otherwise, he's a tank, but there's already a bunch of those that probably have better kits.

All of this is assuming that he can't be run with iHulk, which would be bonkers broken.  Ikaris+iHulk+this dude is almost an auto-winfinite.

Chasm will tank everything but red on Hulk until Hulk revives twice. There will be abyss tiles all over the place

If this character can be played with IHulk it would be almost impossible to win against a pair of them unless you fired an AOE that killed both at the same time so hopefully they can't be played toegether. I'm worried that even Smart Hulk + Chasm will be virtually impossible to down.

Sooner or later we are going to need a character who prevents revivals as a passive power, some kind of lord of the dead.

Highly likely that this character will be a Hulk so that only one can exist on your team. Does Glidey’s blue prevent revivals?

Pretty sure immortal hulk and immortal she-hulk will be playable together. Yikes, the revive meta is going to be real! 

Not looking forward to the revive meta that is rocketing upon us. How long until we get a character that when s/he downs someone , they stay down.
