Years ago, some of the Marvel Universe’s best and brightest superheroes came together to form a secret Illuminati which could make the hard decisions for what they believed was the greater good of the Marvel Universe.
Members included men like Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, and Doctor Strange, and after yet another rampage in Las Vegas, this secret group decided to send the Hulk into outer space upon realising that he was a threat which couldn’t be contained any other way. This was a huge betrayal to the Green Goliath, and it took him off the table for Civil War. Rumour has it that this will happen in the MCU at some point.

If you’ve watched the first Thor movie (and read the comic if it says it in there too), Odin whispers to the hammer that if the wielder is worthy, they will be granted the power of Thor. Although he doesn’t lift it in the movie, Captain America is very much worthy and during a battle he lifted Thor’s hammer and managed to use it against his foes. Never has a level of awesomeness been so high.

A looming deadline forced him to hand over the scripting duties for that issue to Larry Lieber, and it was Lieber, cover artist Jack Kirby, and interior artist Don Heck who shared the bulk of creative duties for the issue. Kirby is credited with the design of Iron Man's first armor, while Heck is credited with the look of Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and the other characters introduced inside the issue.

Whenever you think “Hulk,” you think green. The two are intrinsically linked. Yet, when the Hulk first appeared in 1963, he was actually meant to be gray. However, due to the fact the printer couldn’t provide a consistent gray color, the Hulk would change from gray to black to other shades of gray from page to page and panel to panel. In order to address the issue, Stan Lee choose to go with a color that would come off the printing press with fewer issues: the now-iconic green.
