The Incredible Hulk; by far my favorite Marvel character of all time. I just love the dichotomy of a generally mild-mannered person becoming so pissed that he becomes a raging green monster of destruction.
The Hulkout. By far one of my favorite events in all of fiction.
Of course, it's not an altogether original concept. Take the wolfman transformation, and add elements of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and there you go. In the comics, it has served it's purpose, as a transition to go from one part of the plot to the next. But in its various alternate media incarnations, it's served multiple purposes. It can be a fascinating study of the extremes of the human psyche, or an exploration of the pain of fictional metamorphosis.
However, I truly feel that there are a number of such instances in TV and film that are truly better and more interesting than others. Therefore, I have composed my Top 9 Favorite Hulkout Moments. Because I am a nerd with nothing better to do than to get emotionally invested in a fictional beast.
