The MCU Did Hulk Wrong by Making Him Child-Friendly Child-Friendly & His Franchise Kill Count Confirms That

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with a soft spot for the MCU, I find myself both awestruck and somewhat amused by the kill count of everyone’s favorite green giant – Hulk! With a tally of over 80 confirmed kills, it’s safe to say that the Hulk is no pushover when it comes to handling his foes.


In general, when superheroes and other comic book characters engage in combat, a significant amount of destruction often ensues, unintentionally causing harm and casualties. Yet, on rare occasions, these heroes purposefully inflict casualties since eliminating their adversaries can be crucial to securing victory.

Superheroes such as Batman and Superman may occasionally follow a “no-kill” approach, but it’s more of an exception than the norm. When dealing with monsters, aliens, or other types of foes, superheroes generally don’t show hesitation in defeating their adversaries.

With that in mind, let’s delve into the tally of destructive actions attributed to a significant comic book character – specifically, we’re discussing the kill count associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) portrayal of Hulk. It is important to note that both Norton’s and Ruffalo’s versions of this character are under scrutiny here. This analysis may shed light on why some argue that the Hulk has been made too kid-friendly by Marvel, as his actions seem to belie the notion of being childlike.

The information we’ve provided comes from a list compiled by IMDb user Creedswede, who meticulously recorded the total number of kills attributed to major and minor Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, with key observations included. From the data presented, it appears that Hulk has this many confirmed kills: [insert kill count]

  • The Incredible Hulk – 25
  • The Avengers – 29
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron – 13
  • Thor: Ragnarok – 2
  • Avengers: Infinity War – 13
  • Avengers: Endgame – 6
  • Total kills: 88+

Beyond that, he featured in films such as “Iron Man 3”, “Captain Marvel”, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, “Deadpool & Wolverine”, and more recently, “Loki”, “WandaVision”, and “She-Hulk”. However, it’s important to note that he did not contribute any kills in these projects. His roles were primarily cameo appearances or archived footage of him.

Speaking as a die-hard fan, let me break down these figures for you: The initial project, marked by the number one, is all about Edward Norton’s portrayal of the Hulk (he only graced our screens in that film). The subsequent numbers, however, denote Mark Ruffalo stepping into the role following Norton’s departure after the first movie.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while this tally isn’t the highest kill count, it’s still considerable. The Hulk, as a matter of fact, has surpassed many supervillains in terms of fatalities and even more superheroes – something that undeniably speaks volumes about his prowess.

In upcoming projects, you can expect the Hulk to make an appearance, which means we can anticipate the tally of “casualties” or “victims” to rise. As new details emerge, we’ll update our list accordingly. However, current numbers suggest that the decision by Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to tone down the Hulk for younger audiences may not have been the best choice, considering its impact on character growth and overall facts.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve recently updated these figures, and I feel confident in their accuracy since they were last seen in the thrilling crossover of Deadpool & Wolverine, where even the mighty Hulk made a special appearance!
