WHAT IF? #12 (1978)

IMG_9306

What If Rick Jones Became the Hulk? is another story that came true in the 616 universe when Rick Jones became A-Bomb during that horrible Red Hulks saga.

Okay, he’s a version of Abomination more than Hulk. But it’s pretty close to the question asked in the title of #12.

Rick Jones’ tale in What If? was way better than the “real” time he became an oversized gamma powerhouse.  In #12, Rick Jones flips Banner into the ditch (rather than the other way around) during the first Gamma Bomb test…

…And becomes Hulk.

Rick Jones has been partner to multiple heroes, so it’s neat to see what happens, for example, when the “real” Rick joined with Captain Mar-Vell…

This is my favorite issue of What If? so far.
