Hulk Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

Marvel Comics' Incredible Hulk has risen to the heights of pop cultural fame, thanks in no small part to his prevalence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Green Goliath has become synonymous with bouts of hysterical strength, as the term "Hulk out" is often used to describe some who goes into a fit of rage that causes them to wreck havoc on their surroundings. Despite his impossibly immense strength, the Hulk is ultimately a tragic being who just wants to be left alone more often than not. Furthermore, the Hulk also shares a body with Dr. Bruce Banner, a meek and humble scientist who often sees his alternate Hulk persona as a curse he can't control. Nevertheless, the two personalities of the Hulk and Bruce Banner have managed to come together in the past in order to achieve feats of true heroism.

The incredible Hulk is known for his massive size and strength but he is sadly less known for his loyalty to those close to him. Lucky for Marvel's Green Goliath, a positively massive Pit Bull with a heart of gold just might change things in the Hulk's favor some day. Hulk is a 173 pound Pit Bull who lives in the United States. Hulk's owners trained him to be a professional guard dog and he takes his job very seriously; without a shadow of a doubt, this enormous guard dog will not hesitate to throw himself in the line of fire if he feels his family's life is in danger. But despite his gargantuan size and his earnest profession, Hulk is said to be an incredibly friendly and amiable puppy.

Hulk is owned by the Dark Dynasty K9's, a company of professional guard dog trainers who specialize in breeding dogs just like Hulk. It should be noted that there is a fair amount of controversy surrounding the ethics behind breeding puppies like Hulk and then selling them for profit. However, the Dark Dynasty K9's have maintained that their practices are ethical and that they ensure that the pups are being sold to owners with good reputations and the ability to care for such a demanding pet. To add on to the previously mentioned point concerning the amount of money the Dark Dynasty K9's stand to make from breeding colossal dogs like Hulk, one litter of eight of Hulk's puppies are worth around $500, 000 American.

To get a bit more in depth in regards to the logistics behind taking care of such massive dogs, Hulk is aid to need around forty one pounds of meat a day in order to keep him healthy and fit. Hulk also needs to be kept on a strict and strenuous exercise regiment in order to ensure that the jolly giant's mountainous muscles don't atrophy and become too weak to support its bulging frame.

Interestingly enough, a monster sized Pit Bull was featured in director Ang Lee's 2003 live action film adaption of the Hulk's story as one of three maleficent canines the Hulk had to face off against. Just like Hulk the giant Pit Bull, the dog featured in the film had a big frame and an even bigger appetite, as the evil dogs tried to eat Betty Ross and even the Hulk himself! The Jade Giant ultimately triumphed, but the battle that ensued between himself and the pack of monstrous Gamma radiated dogs if often still talked about to this day.

Why Give Your Dog A Hulk Inspired Name?

The Hulk is a very interesting character due to the fact that he had virtually always existed in the mind of Bruce Banner, long before he was exposed to Gamma radiation. Brian Banner was a terribly abusive father to Bruce and an equally horrible husband to Bruce's mother, Rebecca Banner. To cope with the excessive abuse he experienced at the hands of his father, Bruce's mind created the Hulk persona when he was a child. Indeed, this is the reason why the Hulk often speaks in such terse and rudimentary sentences; the incredible Hulk, despite his endlessly immense reserves of strength, has the mental faculties of small child because he was created by a small child.

Tragically, Brian Banner's abusive tendencies were taken to the extreme one day, leading him to murder Rebecca Banner and attempt to murder Bruce as well. Bruce managed to survive, and Brian was taken away by the authorities, but damage had been done and the Hulk's place in Bruce's mind had been cemented; the Hulk persona would always arise to protect Bruce during instances of extreme duress, such as when Bruce was exposed to an extraordinary amount of Gamma Radiation. The Hulk's name is synonymous with physical strength, but it will hopefully become more synonymous with resilience and being able to weather the various trials life throws one's way.

Name considerations for your dog can focus on the strength of the Hulk, especially if your pup will grow to be a large breed. Fun aspects can include a small dog who has the persona of a tough character, and a canine with a proud and determined stance would wear a Hulk name well, too.
