Imagine if Batman suddenly got superpowers and decided to learn Kung Fu—sounds like a wild ride, right? Well, Marvel’s got its own twist with Mark Ruffalo’s Smart Hulk! In Marvel Comics, this green giant didn’t just flex his muscles; he dove into martial arts like a pro. Picture Hulk doing high kicks and mastering ancient combat techniques while still being the brainy Hulk we know.
If Ruffalo’s Hulk were to channel this comic book mojo, we’d be in for a spectacle of smashing and sophisticated fighting moves. Buckle up, because this could turn Hulk into the ultimate martial arts maestro!
Hulk’s martial arts twist: Doc Green’s unorthodox training with Iron Fist revealed in viral video
Imagine Hulk, the hulk-out green giant who is principally associated with raw muscular force, exchanging punches for elegant lethal kicks. For a moment, the whole thing feels like something out of a fever dream, doesn’t it? Actually, this is a plotline right out of Marvel comics!
A viral YouTube video suggests, in an earlier version of the series, Doc Green the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) resolved to take his combat prowess to the next level by training in martial arts with the Iron Fist, aka Danny Rand. This team-up was quite unorthodox and made for a very unique dynamic since the Hulk was a brute force character while Iron Fist was more of a precision.
Although the current Hulk is more supernatural and cosmic, this particular arc gives fans a tease of what it could be like for the character. A smarter Hulk who could not only knock out his enemies, but also think his way through bouts of physical combat and use martial arts techniques, would definitely be quite a challenge. A fan commented:
Hulk learning kung fu sounds like giving Batman superpowers.
That being said, it’s still unclear whether this storyline will be touched upon in any future books, but even if it is, it opens up a new idea that could easily expand the Hulk’s storyline. Perhaps, it is high time that we see Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk flexing his muscles on the big screen and displaying splendid Martial Art skills.
Why hasn’t the Smart Hulk mastered martial arts? Fans weigh in on missed opportunity vs. arrogance
The question on everyone’s lips is: What has the Smart Hulk not afforded himself the time to enroll in martial arts classes. There are two camps here—one suggesting that it’d make him an even better fighter and another that claims that he’s all intelligence, but too arrogant.

This debate’s been fuelled more so after Hulk’s recent loss to She-Hulk, and due to this, the character has been deemed to be in a certain hole, which he cannot escape. Whether or not the Hulk will ever learn martial arts remains to be seen, but the fan reaction’s clear: The character of this man, kind of, requires change.
