Even while I let the fanboy inside of me enjoy himself you can best believe I have my third eye always turned on and wide open. The ‘Incredible Hulk’ movie was just like ‘Iron Man’ in that it fully described the level at which our government is complicit in crimes against humanity and more importantly, human nature.
The concept of a genetically enhanced human has been floated around for centuries. As soon as doctors and scientists discovered viruses and the antibodies that conquered them they have sought to husband those qualities into humans. So that people could become more productive workers and of course, more productive warriors. As mankind has increased its technology the same degree of knowledge has been applied to creating “better” humans. Eugenics is the precursor to cloning, which will prA’li give way to cybernetic organisms. You know, cyborgs and shit.
A few notes struck me as interesting in the Hulk movie which weren’t detailed fully so my mind has been allowed to speculate on what might be. There is a biologist character in the film who appears to want to help heal Bruce Banner and has used a blood sample of his to create thousands of liters of a blood plasma that mimics Banner’s bloodtype. The biologist has used the plasma to perform untold experiments. The university that the biologist works from is located in Harlem. I believe that the biologist used poor, indigent Harlem residents for his experiments. Just like the pharmaceutical industrial complex does in Africa and Asia.
These experiments are funded in some cases by the United nations, and they are monitored closely in many instances by the Centers For Disease Control. Yes, the same agency located in Atlanta, GA. You might ask yourself why an American public health agency monitors and records the experimental infection of infants with what is described as HIV, but in all reality is simply, and horribly a biotoxin? Are these experiments meant to shed light and provide information on how toxins act and react within our own bodies? Don’t call me a conspiracy theorist. I just read a few comic books. A lot.
I also follow the storyline that describes the military’s need to create supersoldiers. War is hell. Always has been, always will be. This is why Army recruiters typically target young children. An 18yr old is a child. Even if they are given the right to drive a motor vehicle, secure a marriage license and consume tobacco and/or alcohol. Their minds are certainly still childlike and haven’t fully developed the receptors for empathy or compassion. If these young people do return from the war front they have borne witness to sights that transfix them for their entire lives.
The super soldier serum that was being developed was supposed to dissolve the part of the brain that is disturbed when you kill another human. It would be sort of like a lobotomy for your conscience. Is this the serum that General Ross hoped to create inside of the laboratory with his daughter and Dr. Banner? I know I am mixing up the storylines of reality and fantasy fiction, but I wonder which is more believable? The true measure of our civilization isn’t the technology that we create, but how we learn to treat each other as humans.
The avarice of greed has fueled more discovery than simply the search for truth and peace. There is a Hulk inside of us all, and thankfully we don’t know how to unleash it.
It looks like they set that biologist up to become the “Leader” for Hulk 3 – with the gamma-irradiated brain….
BTW DP, did you see the article a few days ago where Chinese are considered the new Black folk? This was either in Korea or Africa…

I either didn’t know that or I’ve burned too many trees to remember. Btw, Captain America (the comic) has been fiyah for like the past 2 years. And I never read Cap steadily before this year, AND I aint that patriotic.
Great post.
That Hulk drawing/ painting is evidence that Bill Sienkiewicz mos def eff’d with the acids, the herons, the hallucinagenic drugs of choice. Dude’s works are always ILL!
His Elektra was classic, even though I had to read the bitch like 7.5 times to understand it.
Bill S. Def goes in. I saw a painting he did of the Joker which is certainly a precursor to the maniac that Heath Ledger uncovered in his Joker portrayal.
I fucked with Cap during Byrne’s brief run on the book. There is a storyline that has Cap visit the OG Captain Britain to finally merc’k Baron Bllod. Good shit.
We can make you better, stronger, faster…
They prefer to get them younger…just like the training method, break you down to build you up. When you look at SEAL Training things like that are the physical incarnation of it. They have the mental down, when they get the chemical down it’s over.
Bourne Identity much?
My brothers playing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots and the whole storyline is about private armies and corporations creating super soldiers that work as teams due to implants and nanotechnology. It’s all going down in Africa and the Middle East.
That brings me to another point. Find the trailer to the new Resident Evil game. Zombies in Africa? You tell me what about that trailer is disturbing.
One.
There’s this IMAGE comic going on right now called ‘Elephantmen’ that’s on the same shit you’re talking about in Hulk or Dart’s mentioning in Metal Gear 4. Only pimping my blog because it’s relevant: You Should Read: IMAGE Comics’ Elephantmen
A TP of the first seven issues comes out in paperback soon. I’ve been selling Elephantmen to people as TMNT meets Harriet Washington’s ‘Medical Apartheid’ book from late last year.
Good call on the Sienkiwicz pic too. In addition to his comics work, you dudes know he did the Bobby Digital cover, right??
