MUGEN Universe: Tournament of Champions.

A man with brown hair and glasses sit at a table in a small restaurant by a dusty road. He was thin and bookish looking, with bags under his eyes and unkempt clothes, a scholar dressed like a vagrant. He had finished with a croissant and was sipping his cup of black coffee.

The waitress, a woman of puffy dyed orange hair and glasses, with wide hips and a skirt far too short and tight for her age, approached him. "Have you heard the news, Hon?"

He nodded. "I did. They don't interest me."

"They don't? It's the end of the world, Hon, they interest everyone." She looked around the otherwise empty restaurant. "Why aren't you home, Hon?"

"Not to be rude, Ma'am, but that's my own business," he said quietly.

The woman stayed silent for several moments and said, "I wait for you at the experimental cryogenics sphere in Neo-Tokyo, Bruce Banner."

The man blinked, then squinted, taking notice of the fixed gaze behind the woman's glasses.

"Damn," he said, leaving the pay and a tip and hastily leaving through the front door. Once outside, he began running.

The Hulk.

Origin: The Incredible Hulk.

Doc Bruce Banner
Belted by gamma rays
Turned into the Hulk
Ain't he unglamo-rays!
Wreckin' the town
With the power of a bull
Ain't no monster clown
Who is as lovable
As ever-lovin' Hulk! HULK! HULK!

Stage: An eerily empty and silent desert of reddish sands in New Mexico, USA.

Opening Poses and Lines:

Bruce Banner stands shaking and holding his scalp. He twitches and changes into the Hulk, ripping his shirt off. "HULK SMASH!"

The same as the one right above but Banner starts shirtless and wearing glasses, and upon transforming roars "PUNY HUMANS!"

Vs. Akuma:

Akuma folds his arms. "So you are the infamous 'Hulk'. Your chi is weak! You're nothing but an insane animal! Disappointing!"

"Why Pineapple Head Man say that? Hulk strongest one!"

"You won't be able to provide the challenge I need!"

Hulk wallops the ground with his fists. "Pineapple Head Man want challenge? HULK MORE THAN CHALLENGE! RRRRRRRRR!"

Vs. Saber (Artoria Pendragon):

"Hulk no like fighting girls!" the Jade Behemoth snorts.

Saber calmly twirls Invisible Air around. "Think of me as a King, not a woman."

Hulk grins savagely. "That something Hulk can live with! HULK SMASH PUNY KING!"

Vs. Ultraman:

"Hulk remembers Flying Man!" Hulk howls.

"You must be thinking of Superman..."

"Flying Man punched Hulk! Now Hulk will smash Flying Man!"

Ultraman takes his fighting pose. "I'll do far more than hurting you, idiotic brute!"

Vs. Akira:

A wall explodes and Hulk jumps in through it. "Where Hulk am?!"

Akira appears before him. "Oh, the man brute mankind shunned so much. Ironic that now their fate hinges on him."

"Who am you? A child? A boy! Shoo! Shoo! It always too dangerous for boys around Hulk!"

Akira starts levitating. "I am not Rick Jones, you brainless juggernaut. You will see that I am more than able of defending my domains."

"Rick? You did something to Rick? If you did, no matter you child or not, Hulk smash you!"

Vs. Belldandy:

He stands mesmerized by her beauty, the breath blown out of him.

"Betty..."

Belldandy smiles sadly. "Now listen, Bruce, I have to-"

Hulk's eyes narrow. "No! Not Banner! Never Banner!"

"S-Sorry! Hulk, please listen, you're fighting for something much bigger and more important than yourself now, it's a test for the sake of the wo-"

"Bah! Dumb pretty lady trying to trick me! Just like all pretty ladies on Hulk's way here! You no Betty! So... Hulk will smash you too!"

The countdown to their battle starts.

Heavy Moves:

Rampaging Rush: The Hulk stampedes across the screen headbutting everything and everyone on his path.

Sonic Clap: Hulk slams his massive hands together sending a shockwave across.

Raging Roar: Hulk roars and the force of his vocal chords sends damage at a short distance. Less effective than Sonic Clap.

Gamma Jump: Hulk leaps up and lands feetfirst, crushing his adversary under his bare soles.

Crushing Climb: It only can be performed at the borders of certain scenarios. Hulk climbs upwards to attack from above.

Super Moves:

Gamma Tornado:

If Hulk grabs his opponent, he whirls them around and them slams them down. It must be performed at a close distance.

Gamma Crush:

Hulk leaps up into the air and then comes back from the stratosphere grabbing a meteorite, which he aims to obliterate the opponent with. If Hulk hits the opponent on his way up, they will be sent to the floor and automatically hit by the meteorite without them being able to do anything to avoid it.

Gamma Wave:

Hulk rips several huge pieces of the ground and tosses them at the opponent in the form of giant rocks.

Gamma Quake:

Hulk punches the ground with so much vigor that rocks rain from the sky. How does that work? Don't question Banner! He's a scientist!

Gamma Tsunami:

A more powerful version of Gamma Wave that sweeps across the whole screen.

Victory Poses and Lines:

The Green Giant tugs his head back and bellows. "HULK STRONGEST ONE THERE IS!"

The titan falls to his knees, grabbing his head. "Hulk tired now. Wants to sleep. But Hulk not want to change back to puny Banner..."

Vs. Akuma:

Hulk scoffs at Akuma's prone body. "Now Pineapple Head Man says Hulk weak?"

Akuma groans faintly.

Hulk kicks him anyway. "PUNY WEAKLING!"

Vs. Saber (Artoria Pendragon):

"Th-That power!" Saber gasps on a knee, supporting herself on her Excalibur. "You're even stronger than Berserker..."

"Hulk not really want to hurt Pretty King Lady. Will Pretty King Lady forgove Hulk?"

Saber runs out of mana and vanishes.

"Hulk is always left alone..."

Vs. Ultraman:

Hulk grabs Ultraman by the legs and swings him around back and forth, swatting him on the ground several times.

He walks away muttering "Puny Superman."

There is a closeup of Ultraman's face, with unblinking eyes, his mouth open.

He whimpers "Wheeeeeeep!"

Vs. Akira:

When the dust of the explosion of the Icy Cold Sphere settled down, no human remains were found inside of it.

Peace returned to the merged world. Mankind began rebuilding the destroyed civilization. But nobody knew whom to thank over it.

Eventually legends and speculation came to pass for the eras to come, and many tried to seize credit for the heroic deed.

Somewhere, along a desert of the Southern United States, a lonely man walked by a highway, under a scorching sun.

A sad tune began playing as that man walked into the sunset...

Vs. Belldandy:

"Hulk wish... for happiness," he said quietly, lowering his head.

Belldandy smiled through lips caked in her own blood but quickly healing.

Doctor Bruce Banner blinked back to reality, waking up from his weird dream.

The massive Professor Hulk made it through the front entrance of his house. A beautiful woman ran out to greet him, hugging his gigantic frame.

"Bruce!" she said.

Smiling, he gently placed a hand on her head. "Betty."

"Where had you been, Bruce? I was getting worried!"

He lifted her in his mighty arms. "Never mind that now. I don't think I believe where I was myself. I'm getting tired of this smashing stuff, what if we take a break for a second honeymoon in Las Vegas?"

"Huh?"

"All work and no play make Hulk a grouchy boy!"

Somewhere, out in the vast depths of cosmic space, Galactus approached Earth.

Next Challenger: I'll tell you when I know.
