During Peter David's first run of the Incredible Hulk, the intelligent Hulk wound up killing a priest. Not even the Vatican seemed to care.

I mean, yes, I understand, he hit his wife and that's just absolutely wrong and there's no getting around it; but the man was in the middle of a nervous breakdown, and his attack on Jan was one of many signs during that period that he was losing it and needed psychiatric help. He got psychiatric help, he stayed clear of super-heroics until he felt like he was mentally ready to return, he's never had any problems since (as far as I know...has the non-Ultimate Hank Pym ever lashed out at Jan since he returned to the super-heroic scene in the mid-80s?) In short, his single violent outburst seems to have been a sign of a mind in the throes of trauma, and not a personality trait. And yet, everyone writes his character now as "habitual wife-beater." (And, of course, by everyone I mean Bendis and Mark Millar.) It'd be nice to see them get away from that a bit. Y'know, I gotta say, I'm starting to feel sorry for Hank Pym.

Perhaps Steve Rogers attended the game!
