...No. It's Hulkling, not the Hulk.

Isn't that a bit of a--
fucking stupid name?
Well, I wouldn't go that far.

Um... I think it's okay.

Sorry, he tends to be rather . . . blunt.

...Yeah, I could kinda tell.

I mean, it's not like Two-Face is a particularly great nickname either, but . . .
It describes us, doesn't it?

Well, Hulkling describes me.

How so?

Hulk sounds stronger.

Well yeah, he is.

And you just advertise that?

What do you mean?

Well, you're putting it right out there that there is someone stronger than you. Why should your enemies fear you when you're weaker?

Just because I'm not as strong as the Hulk doesn't mean I'm weak.

By your own admission you're weaker than this Hulk.

Well, it would be stupid to say I'm stronger than him, since I'm not.

You could theoretically have a name that isn't a comparison at all.

Well, Hulkling's been working for me so far. And seriously, what else would I call myself?

How should I know?
