The Infinity Stones are the definition of power in the Marvel Universe , and each bearer ’s power are enhanced the closer they get to the other bearers ( in current canon , the Stones form a racing circuit of magnate . ) That means that battalion ordering around an Orange Hulk is only the tip of what he ’s subject of . With Multitude being able to summon constructs of Hulk , the Thing and Groot at the same time , it will be enchanting to see how his powers could get any more potent . However , give that he controls the conception of the soulfulness , it ’s potential his construct could be given more self - awareness , and his Orange Hulk might even end up as a solo characterwho does n’t need Multitude ’s vim to manifest .
Multitude , aka Ward , is a man-made being similar to the Avengers ' Vision . Multitude pull in the Soul Stone because of his desperate obsession with the nature of the soul and the fear that - as a non - biologic being - he may not have one .

Multitude ’s Orange Hulk is n’t the first in Marvel traditional knowledge , but it ’s the first time that an Orange Hulk has survive in Marvel ’s main canon . Marvelhascome tight in the past times - inHulk # 36 , Red Hulk battles the energy being Zzzax , appearing in a transform orangish form on the top alongside the caption"Possessed by Zzzax . “Sadly , this does n’t quite come to pass in the matter , and Rulk remains firmly ruby-red .
Bruce Banner’salternate persona the Devil Hulkalso has orange - hued skin in some appearances , however this is discrepant ( he ’s often draw as brown , and has also been pictured as green ) and only the event when Devil Hulk is shown within Bruce ’s mind - when Bruce becomes the Devil Hulk in physical realness , he remains green . Another campaigner for the Orange Hulk deed of conveyance is Alpha Flight ’s Sasquatch - a character whose top executive come from a mix of da Gamma vigor and the eldritch influence of the divine Tanaraq , though the submarine ’s shagged form deviates significantly from the classic ' Hulk ' design .
Devil Hulk was canonically the first substitute persona that emerge in Bruce Banner ’s intellect and is based on his idea of the Biblical serpent . on the face of it evil , Devil Hulk is actually dedicated to protect Bruce at all monetary value .
In their most persistent battle of all metre , Thor expose he get it on exactly how to kill Hulk on the day he ca n’t thump him any other direction .
Alternate realities have hold out further , put up full - blown Orange Hulks . Uncanny X - Force # 12(from Rick Remender and Mark Brooks ) revealed the Black Legion - an army of observational grinder / scoundrel fusions created in the Age of Apocalypse reality . The issueintroduced the Orange Hulk- a brutal cause of death who is on the face of it power by sun - however the character ’s very brief show did n’t reveal a lot about his powers or origin .

The Hulk is wide tell apart as a green , muscle - limit superhero and institute Avenger , however , his " Hulkscape " configuration evidence he ’s much more than that .
Hulk often changes color when he accesses a new energy seed - the Enigma Force turn him down in the mouth , the Avengers ' commingle mogul create a Purple Hulk , and AIM even managed to make a jaundiced Hulk .
Yellow, Purple, Blue and Red Hulks Already Exist
The Orange ‘Soul Hulk’ Joins the Hulk Rainbow
While Multitude ’s Orange Hulk may not be a full - blown substitute transmutation for Bruce Banner , he ’s as closemouthed as fans have ever gotten , crucially because he exist as a forcible being in Marvel ’s main reality . The addition helps to institute the approximation of a ' Hulk rainbow ' confining to windup , since most colors of Hulk have been introduced in some capacity . Bruce himselfhas achieved both Blue and Black alternate conformation , the former after harness the Enigma Force and the latter after cause his moral alliance magically flipped inAXIS , becoming ' Kluh . ' He also has a weak Gray Hulk form who move by the name Mr. Fixit .
Less well - known are the Yellow Hulk ( created in an alternate reality where Marvel ’s heroes all function AIM)and the Purple Hulk(Norman Osborn , who absorb the powers of multiple Avengers including the Red Hulk and the Thing . ) Other versions of these colors also survive - Hulk turn majestic when possessed by the villainous Shanzar and 2015’sSecret Warstie - inCivil Warintroduced a Black Hulk who was finally disclose to be Wolverine . besides , the iconic weapon system H ( a genetic unification of Hulk and Wolverine ) give Marvel its most powerful grey-haired Hulk , with the character later revealing he can shift color to get at the powers of different type of Hulk .

Amalgam Comics ' DC / Marvel crossover fused Hulk with Batman villain Solomon Grundy to create the white - skinned ' Skulk , ' while Marvel ’s curt - livedUltraverse crossover fused Hulk with the Ghoul , creating a zombie - esque behemoth . There have also been other grapheme with the Hulk name , even before Bruce Banner ’s version . Marvel ’s psychical predator Xemnu considers himself the original Hulk , and even tried to take Hulk ’s berth in Al Ewing and Joe Bennett’sImmortal Hulk , brainwashing the world into believing he was the one and only version .
The Hulk is famous for jumping from state to country , but the new Red Hulk is dialing it up to 11 with a literal ego - power outer space launch .
Given how many Hulks there are in Marvel canyon and how exit the comic keep coming to introducing a mainstream ' Orange Hulk , ' it ’s clear why Multitude ’s ' Soul Hulk ' would be such a openhanded deal . Hopefully , asInfinity Watchcontinues to heighten Multitude ’s power , fans will get more of this young Ochre Ogre , and our fingers are track that the Soul Stone ’s incredible power could let loose thisHulkconstruct for the Orange vs Green smackdown buff have always desire to see .
