He gets the mass from an alternate dimension. First rule of comic-book physics: When all else fails, invoke an alternate dimension :D. ---

A pretty decent synopsis of the comics Hulk can be found [here](http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/h/hulk.htm). It’s actually a good resource for a lot of Marvel character info. As far as the movie Hulk, it’s _based_ on the comic. I’ve read where Ang Lee took liberty with his size, increasing it as his anger and rage grew. Makes sense to me. For further inquiries about the green goliath, I’d refer to you the Ask The Hulk thread, if the board was running fast enough for me to search for it. 😉 ---

Hulk was grey and went by the name of “Mr. Fixit” and had a cheufer to drive him around in his limo. At this time he talked like a mafioso. ---
