The 100 Greatest Marvels of All Time #4

In a moment of desperate courage, scientist Bruce Banner shields a young boy from a catastrophic nuclear blast—only to be engulfed by gamma radiation that unleashes his monstrous alter ego, the Hulk. Now hunted by General Thunderbolt Ross and pursued by villains like Igor and the Gargoyle, Banner must navigate his fractured identity while protecting those he cares about, including Rick Jones and Betty Ross, all while the truth of his transformation begins to unravel.

In a world where fear of mutants has birthed a new generation of Sentinels, Professor X assembles a new team of young mutants to stand for peace and coexistence. But as Magneto’s vision of mutant supremacy gains momentum, the line between protector and enemy begins to blur—especially when old allies and new recruits find themselves caught in a storm of ideology, loyalty, and the uncertain future.

Wolverine grapples with the aftermath of losing his adamantium skeleton, his once-unchanging edge now a fragile reminder of what’s gone. As he steps away from the X-Men, the memories of past battles and personal betrayals claw at him—both in waking moments and in the shadows of his dreams. With the team fractured and his own body changed, Wolverine must confront what it means to be a man without his metal, even as echoes of old allies and enemies linger in the silence.
