That's the Grey Hulk and I really do not know anything about the Grey Hulk and neither the Red Hulk too. I just too fond with the Green Hulk and I never, ever heard of The Order and I hated that Dr. Strange and Namor looks too. I used to like the Defenders and after reading it for awhile ... I stopped and that's why I have too many issues with them ... The Defenders. Nice Review of Power Man & Iron Fist #50. I just dig the art of this book! Thanks. I always loved reading the Iron Fist. I didn't know issue #50 was their first team up. I always associated Iron Fist with the Brubaker/Fraction run in the mid 2000's. That was one of the best books and storyline I have ever read of any title. |

Really the only difference with the grey Hulk was that he was smart with Banner's brain. Joe Fixit. I remember he was like a goon or mob enforcer in the Incredible Hulk titles and that Todd McFarlane was doing the pencil chores at the time. I am not sure if he was only Joe Fixit Grey Hulk during the evenings and then reverts back to Banner in the daytime. |

 Dynamo 5 #13.50 USD/4.10 CAN @ April 2007 Created by: Jay Faerbert & Mahmud A. Asrar Story by: Jay Faerber Art by: Mahmud A. Asrar Colors by: Ron Riley Letters by: Charles Pritchett Synopsis: The issue starts off with Captain Dynamo showcasing five of his various powers: laser vision, super-strength, flight, shape-shifting, and telepathy. Then it fast forwards and joins the Dynamo 5 Team in action against a super villain group called The Veil. They are holding their own, albeit at the same time they have growing pains to deal with as they have been together less than a month. Scrap is headstrong and is the powerhouse of the group, while Slingshot seems to act as the team leader, contrarily to Scatterbrain and Myriad. Scatterbrain is the telepath of the group but at the same time is the idiotic sports jock, and Visionary is the aloof nerd who seems to be not focused at times. They mopped up the bad guys, and then was called in by their mentor/leader, the unofficial sixth member who put together the group, Maddie Warner, the widow of Captain Dynamo. Asking the team if they found out the Veil's objective, they did not, as all the bad guys are knocked out and their telepath cannot even scan a live one. And then, Visionary was missing, and this prompted Maddie to go to the team in the field. Upon arriving there, she figured out that the Veil's objective was to find out about them by interrogating Visionary. The Veil leader named Superior had a serum injected to their captive hero, Visionary. And he interrogated him. The serum started to work and Visionary told him what he knew. We then go to an origin story. Captain Dynamo was found naked and dead in a hotel room. Apprently dying of poison which had traces on his lips. The funeral was a who's who of superheroes. His widow, Maddie Warner, an award winning journalist had to sort out her husband's stuffs including his secret headquarters underneath a pier. Sorting through his stuff she found his black book with various women's numbers and dates. Finding out her husband's infidelity disturbed her, not allowing her to sleep. Then with Captian Dynamo's death, his enemies started attacking Tower City knowing there is no regular protector. This prompted Maddie to research and cross reference all the women in the black book with children born after the affairs. She found five of them and sought each one out. And repeatedly had them finally meet at her Headquarters. She then exposed the five young adults to the same radiation her husband was exposed to years ago, thus freeing their latent powers. Back in the present, Scatterbrain tried his telepathic powers to located Visionary within the city. Meanwhile in the interrogation chamber, the Superior demanded to know what was the origin of the radiation. At that time one of the Superior's minions. It turned out to be the shapeshifter, Myriad. And Scrap along with the rest burst through the wall. The leader of the Veil did not offer resistance as he just had one henchman with him. At their surrender, Maddie Warner advised the young superhero team to depart the room while she has words with the evil minion. At first, the youngsters did not want to leave her alone with the villain and his henchmen. Reassured she will be okay while holding a weapon, they departed the room. The Superior mocked Maddie as nothing but a retired reporter. And she then shot both villains in the head. She wanted to talk but she lied. Sure she was a reporter, but that was her cover, as she is an agent with F.L.A.G. And the kids did not even know that. What else hasn't she told them? Comments: Now this really took my attention. Hot shot superheroes with women goo-goo-gaa-gaaing all over them, and they are never linked to many women. And the deceased father of this super team really spoke as to what would happen when a superhero with charisma has women oooaaaahhhing over him. He ends up with many bastards with various women (Caucasian, black, Asian, etc.). I like that all five of the half-siblings are totally different. They have individual personalities, and it is entertaining to see their interaction. After all, characterization is what makes a story more entertaining than the usual sloberknocker action. I liked the way Scattershot initially met Scrap, and told her she was hot, and this reciprocated her telling him that if what Maddie Warner said was true, then she's his half-sister. The look on his face and the situation was hysterical. I loved Asrar's pencils on this issue. He can capture silent moments such as this and superheroic action and tell a story. The ending with Maddie's surprise is a great cliffhanger. It drew me in. I want to know what else she is hiding and hadn't revealed to the children. As a reader, you want to know what's next and see where this is going. |

I definitely agree with you there. Also, add in the great supporting cast of Misty Knight and Colleen Wing, and that is a winner. |

What a classic cover to Power Man & Iron Fist # 50. I had a subscription to that title and it was always a good read. As far as your comments about the power range of the Defenders, you are exactly right on. If you haven't read it, I highly suggest at some point reading The Order. It's exactly what you posited, and quite a good little Defenders story as well, which we haven't seen in all too many years.  Looking at it, I'd have to say that Namor is the weakest link, and he's more than a handful. I bought the Giant Sized Marvel Treasury Defenders in 1978. This was the next time I bought a Defenders comic. That treasury edition was lead off by their origin story from Marvel Feature #1.  |

Mahmud Asrar was quite good on the art side and I'm happy to see how well he's done since. I once saw a sketch of a Maury Povitch like scene of "Captain Dynamo...you ARE the father!!!"  Sadly, it seems to be lost. If you enjoy Dynamo 5, try the most soap opera super hero comic ever...Noble Causes. |

Thanks for the suggestion Action Ace. Noble Causes that's from the Image superhero universe too right? |

And by more soap operatic, I mean Dallas/ Dynasty/ Young and the Restless soap operatic. |

I'd heard good things about both titles and had chatted with the writer, Jay Farber, online.
Still haven't read it but I bought some.
They sound good.

Wasn't there a time when the Hulk was three characters in one? The Grey Hulk, Rampaging Hulk, and the "Professor" Hulk with Banner's intelligence? I remember reading an issue where there were three of them in the early 90's.
