What would Bruce Banner / Hulk see in the Void?

I speculated, and I was wondering what you guys think would happen if Bruce Banner / Hulk saw the Void. What do you think would he see? Would Bruce see a trauma related to himself, or see what the Hulk perceived as traumatic? (Like Thanos mopping him.) Would Bruce be stuck in a cycle of becoming the Hulk, or would it be some different traumatic event? What do you all think?

I love that this image makes Bruce seem about 12 feet tall, lol.

Banner would probably be getting beat by his father in a lot of rooms and reliving destruction he caused when he couldn't control 'his' body. Well, actually, idr if they explicitly stated that in the MCU or if that's just comics

guidethyhandd2025-12-28 07:53

Considering the Hulk is the physical embodiment of his child self DID, his visions would be very similar to 03 Hulk’s. A lot of beatings from his father, father abusing his mother while he’s playing with toys to distract himself etc

RabidFlamingo2025-12-28 10:52

Void attacking Banner, making him relive his childhood trauma and abusive dad, and then getting jumped by the Hulk (Bruce's defence mechanism)

That'd be great

Derelicticu2025-12-28 20:08

I feel like they haven't really used Hulk to his potential, so having him be sort of immune to the Void's darkness while Banner is in there, because he's already the result of trauma, would be excellent.

ZardozSama2025-12-29 07:23

I like the idea of Void traumatizing Banner with Banners worst memories resulting in a dangerously unhinged Hulk rampage. Not so much a 'Banner is immune' bit as a 'Oops poured gasoline on a fire result.

END COMMUNICATION

Derelicticu2025-12-29 15:19

Yeah I phrased that wrong, the Hulk would be immune in Banner's mind. The Hulk is already a trauma coping mechanism, so Void trying to make Bruce relive the trauma would just bring out an unhinged Hulk, like you said. Gasoline on a fire.

EcksFountain1322025-12-29 19:22

You'd think people in the MCU would learn to stop giving people from abusive background with severe mental health issues dodgy serums by now.

spidervenom6192025-12-28 13:01

MCU Brian Banner's isn't as bad as 03 Brian or God help us the Comics version of Brian Banner. To our personal knowledge of the character (which is pretty much a deleted scene from Thor 3 of all films lol) Bruce and Brian has a similar relationship that Tony and Howard had.

ColioTheWolf2025-12-28 16:33

That's so lame. Brian is a big part of Hulk.

AdmiralCharleston2025-12-28 16:53

That is the fundamental reason that mcu hulk doesn't work.

Modern_Hero2025-12-28 20:58

Have they explored his past trauma at all in the MCU?

JLD25032025-12-29 14:27

Unfortunately no, which is part of what went wrong with MCU Hulk.

jpott8792025-12-28 07:54

In the comics, part of his backstory is that he was absued and beaten from a very young age by his Father Brian Banner. The abuse is the reason he created Hulk as a sort of coping mechanism to deal with the constant abuse. While Bruce is quiet, timid and intelligent, The Hulk persona is loud, angry, violent and child like. On top of that, Brian Banmer also murdered his wife, in front of Bruce, adding to the trauma Bruce endured as a child.

It was a way for him to escape in his own mind, a way to challenge someone who was far stronger than he was. But when he got caught in the Gamma testing, that alternate personality became real, birthing The Hulk as a real physical change that occurs when Bruce loses his Temper.

If he was stuck in The Void, he would most likely see himself being abused by his father and the murder of his mother, helpless to stop it, only watch as his child self is beaten by his monster of a father.

BanjoSpaceMan2025-12-28 08:08

Both would see themselves losing full control to the other me thinks

Binx_Thackery2025-12-28 19:07

I like this. Banner and Hulk would be separate entities. Banner sees the Hulk going on a rampage and Hulk sees banner being abused as a child.

skibbidywibbidy2025-12-28 08:15

I think comics Hulk is only afraid of the Void and nothing else, I think maybe the Void broke all of Hulk’s bones? So he would see something pretty bad I think

Atraxodectus2025-12-28 18:08

Hulk has the brain of a five-year-old child. Aside from the discreditedly infamous UNICEF Halloween 1991 special, one of the things that will make Hulk immediately cower into Banner is seeing Venom. Even the other symbiotes make him panicky - he can't wrap his brain around a walking nightmare is the canon answer.

There's even a Marvel Bible Law that says Hulk can't interact with Venom - only Banner - to preserve the character's integrity... Totally not because Venom has ultimate limitless strength and Banner doesn't (but only with Eddie Brock, anyone else just gets their native strength amplified. Dylan can't even tap into it, so the symbiote makes him faster and faster the angrier and more adrenaline surges through his body. Ragingly pissed, Dylan can match Quicksilver's speed.

The repercussions and the results of collateral damage caused by his anger.

spidervenom6192025-12-28 13:00

Banner would probably see something to do with his failure of stopping's Natasha death and the breakup of him and his true soulmate Betty Ross.

MCU Hulk meanwhile is probably has to do with losing full control to Banner or that beatdown to Thanos and his countless losses he has over the years.

Silent_Bystander19302025-12-28 13:56

Probably see devil hulk all his worst traits with hulk might and Bruce intelligence

Grape_Appropriate2025-12-28 14:26

He WOULDNT see the death of his mother and father bc She Hulk stablish that Rebecca Banner is alive and well and a grandma now..... So idk..... He's time in Brazil?

ccReptilelord2025-12-28 14:28

Perhaps he would find Kluh. Then Kluh is released and everybody loses.

Sal_Paradise812025-12-28 15:26

I’m not sure but it would be two different scenarios for sure, and I’d imagine that Bruce’s experience would probably revolve around watching in horror as Hulk rampages and kills people at his leisure.

absherlock2025-12-28 16:00

Natasha?

Regalrefuse2025-12-28 16:13

AdmiralCharleston2025-12-28 16:52

The mcu hulk would probably see nothing because they refuse to acknowledge his childhood trauma lmao

ModernBass2025-12-28 16:56

I think it'd be a lot like the Moon Knight memory scenes. Both Banner and Hulk would be there in separate forms. Probably witnessing Either abuse from Banners dad, Bruce trying to kill himself, or the Hulks rampage after being brainwashed from Wanda.

Character_Mind_6712025-12-28 17:00

Bruce would see the day General Ross told him the Gamma Pulse project would be shut down and he would personally make sure Betty was reassigned away from Bruce so she could find a man who's worth a damn before he storms off. Bruce would then see his past self staring at the finished, but untested Gamma Serum locked in storage and see his face harden into rage and determination as he starts hacking the safe to open without Ross and Betty's keycards. He's going to take it that night before Betty returns in the morning, and then they're going to irradiate him to test it the next day.

Bob and Banner would bond over seeing this.

I've thought about this because if we're getting World War Hulk, it's probably going to be Thunderbolts 2 because Sentry V Hulk is the most famous Sentry fight.

ProtectionOpposite412025-12-28 17:26

Him losing control and possibly seeing his Father Brian Banner.

Please don’t judge my suggestion, as this is a comics based world we’re talking about so anything can happen : could it be that the Void voids Bruce and that only Hulks stays … and gets reeaaally angry.

I really hope we get to see Sentry/Hulk's friendship explored.

Hulk really likes *The Golden Man*.

And by all logical extension, Bruce should be so kind and understanding of Bob.

When the rest of the world had its memory wiped of the Sentry, Hulk was the only one who remembred him.

That friendship, and The Sentry being the only one strong enough to go toe to toe with WWH is a top all time Sentry moment.

lanze6662025-12-28 21:29

His dad beating the shit outta him and experimenting on him prolly

Kamala losing over and over.

His dad killing his mom, and the insane physical and verbal abuse from him.

Being abused as a child very likely and then a Hulk rampage.
