Why does mark waid write him as a jock even though hes the 7th smartest on earth?

why does mark waid write him as a jock even though hes the 7th smartest on earth?

Because he's reduced him down to a flatter character to write rather than a Douchey Nerd on a power trip.

Seems like he read maybe only the first two issues of his series and never bothered with anything else.

8th smartest.

so in short he was infected with bendis syndrome

Reed and Pym are gone, Lunella is around. He's back to 7th.

Still, he's the only quantum hypermind, so he's still the best at brute force calculation problems.

Cho has always been smug asshole, I guess Waid just assumed the being a Hulk made dumb. Or he is dumping Cho down because he wants Kamala and Tyke to be the leaders and solve all the problems like they have been.

Why is he so smart? Is it a mutation?

Hyper-efficient problem-solving skills. He quantum-maths so hard it depletes his body of glucose.

Does this mean is good?

Is this that "knows exactly how to punch a building so it will collapse not killing anyone inside" bullshit?

riri takes reed's place, and nadia takes her dads. lunella takes banners.

he was a smug asshole in a different way

He doesn't need to be dumbed down. He's already too impulsive to be the leader. Maddy is practically the leader in his main book.

There's been a fair bit of Asian Pride cheerleader stuff in the series that feels pretty pandering, but it's largely been readable.

Too smart and it is another Doc Green.

the problem he`s written as a generic jock instead of an egotistical genius who only acts like one.

yeah, that was why he found kinship to Bruce since they both do super math, though Bruce can only do it unconsciously as Hulk.

wtf is wrong with his hair? it looks like a green donkeykong lamo

It's a fauxhawk. If he went full pompadour it'd be better.

He's fuelled by pride.
Ego.

Deep down he only knows what that looks like in the form of a high school jock.
Seventh smartest in the world and he's still a geek.
Strongest one there is and then people notice him.
So, he plays his part as he knows it to be.


Actually, I'm talking bollocks.
Which matches waid here.

Cho should be better than this.
More nuanced.
If he's meant to be pride run wild instead of rage then there'd be more trouble than we've seen so far.

Mind you, it might explain why he's hanging out with the losers in the champions because that shower make him look greater by mere proximity.

that hulk never killing anyone by accident was always canon

Applies to pretty much all characters, due to the "it's for kids" codes. Nobody needlessly tried to qualify the reason for this though.

So everyone is a hypercomputer brain I guess. It should have been dumped into the stupid idea bin along with the gland that quickly evolved to let him breathe underwater.

never killing anyone on accident has been around for decades and touched up upon, never having the reason for people on the hunt for him being massive loss of life unless its bendis garbage
underwater breathing is PAD bullshit who also gave greenskin instant regeneration power creepery

Not killing has been around for decades for everyone. Not killing because he punches just...the...right...way is a needless explanation for him as it must apply to pretty close to everybody.

Is this the only good issue of Totally Awesome Hulk?
