The Hulk Was Supposed to Be Gray:

What's the first thing you think about when you imagine the Hulk? The fact he's bright green, right? Well, this very nearly wasn't the case. Stan Lee always intended for the Hulk to be grey-and so he was, in the very first issue of the series The Incredible Hulkin 1962.

This didn't last for long, however. Due to the fact that there were major problems with the inconsistency of the printing, they ended up having to choose a color instead. One of the most consistent colors in print at the time was green, so they opted for that.

When the comic book was first made into the classic TV show, the executive producer Kenneth Johnson pushed for the Hulk to be red, to symbolize anger. And in a further twist, as printing has become more proficient, a grey Hulk has appeared numerous times in the modern comic era. How long will it be until we see him in red?
