* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': In "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGeniusS3E3TheNMen The N-Men]]", the kids all get various superpowers that parody real comic book heroes. Jimmy turns orange like [[ComicBook/TheFantasticFour The Thing]] and becomes a parody of both the Hulk and his alter ego Bruce Banner; while normally mild-mannered and highly intelligent like Bruce, his true powers awaken when he gets mocked and becomes a towering, infuriated beast of a man trying to destroy everything in this path.

** [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Edward_Walker_(New_Earth) Eddie Walker a.k.a. Loose Cannon]], created in the Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint continuity, is a detective who got crippled in a car accident then gained the ability to transform into a blue-skinned brute with incredible strength by nightfall after an alien attack activated his metagene during the ''Bloodlines'' CrisisCrossover. In ComicBook/TheNew52, there are [[DecompositeCharacter two different versions of him]].

* In ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'' when Sonic is stranded on the planet Meridian, he fights the Bulk. A scientist transformed into a huge purple guy after a lab experiment gone wrong.

** General Wade Eiling starts off as an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to Hulk supporting character "Thunderbolt" Ross. In the ''Unlimited'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS3E7PatriotAct Patriot Act]]", he injects himself with an old Captain Nazi's SuperSoldier serum which transforms him the Shaggy Man, basically a Grey Hulk expy -- being a grey-skinned hulking beast that remains somewhat sane, lucid, and able to talk properly. In a retroactive sense (since he was created before), he can be considered an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to the first Red Hulk: a GeneralRipper who [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becomes]] [[YouAreWhatYouHate what he hates]].

!!THE STRONGEST EXAMPLES THERE IS!!!

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': In "The N-Men", the kids all get various superpowers that parody real comic book heroes. Jimmy turns orange like [[ComicBook/TheFantasticFour The Thing ]] and becomes a parody of both the Hulk and his alter ego Bruce Banner; while normally mild-mannered and highly intelligent like Bruce, his true powers awaken when he gets mocked and becomes a towering, infuriated beast of a man trying to destroy everything in this path.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': Appearing in the episode "Croak and Punishment", Gunther, a southern tusked frog, is generally a mellow, easygoing fellow... until he gets mad and turns into to a green (well, green''er'') hulking beast with a [[HulkSpeak limited vocabulary]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' the version of Bane's Venom induced SuperMode is more akin to Hulk than his namesake, where he is seen HulkingOut into a [[YouDontLookLikeYou giant red monster of pure muscle and adrenaline]].
* The producers of ''Westernanimation/BeastMachines'' admitted Tankor, a slow, simple-minded and immensely powerful robot with a liking to "pulverize", is inspired by the Hulk.

** She-Thing being an expy of ComicBook/SheHulk also qualifies, being a DistaffCounterpart to Krunk the same way She-Hulk is to Hulk. Unlike most Shulkie Expies, she's a BrawnHilda rather than an AmazonianBeauty, though Krunk falls hard for her all the same.

** The show reimagines the [[VoodooZombie Bombie]] as a tall, undead, muscular creature, with a design more similar to Solomon Grundy and the Hulk. He's cursed to forever hunt the richest person in the world, literally unable to stop, unless they learn humility. He is incredibly strong, invulnerable to most forms of harm, and will destroy anything in its path, to get to its target. Bribery only makes him angrier, though he does calm down, after Louie finally humbles himself. For bonus points he shares one of the Hulk's most prominent voice actors Fred Tatascore.
** In the episode "The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee!", Mark Beaks [[HulkingOut transforms]] from a scrawny guy into a muscular giant wearing MagicPants, labelled Mega-Beaks. He doesn't lose his intellect, which, combined with his grey plumage, makes him a Grey Hulk expy.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', the opening of the episode "Love at First Height" has the Turner's car driving through Area 51 where a purple Hulk like creature tries to crush the car but misses.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'',
** The episode "Chitty Chitty Death Bang" actually has Peter [[HulkingOut turning into the Hulk]] in his ImagineSpot when angered enough.
** "Simpsons Guy" the crossover with ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' ends the episode with Homer and Peter engaging in a brawl across Springfield. At one point they end up in the Nuclear Power Plant and fall into nuclear waste and dissolve. Both of them emerge with their flesh regrowing as green and muscular, with SuperStrength and flight. The two then continue battling with their radioactive powers, with their blows sending deadly shockwaves of radiation over town that disintegrates many civilians into skeletons. Eventually their radioactive powers wears off and both are restored to normal.
** "[=HTTPete=]" features a spoof of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' film called ''The Offenders'', where an eyepatch-wearing Bill Cosby forms a team with other Hollywood figures notorious for committing sex crimes. Harvey Weinstein is used as a stand-in for the Hulk, complete with HulkSpeak.
-->'''Harvey Weinstein:''' Harvey shower!

* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'':

** General Wade Eiling starts off as an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to Hulk supporting character "Thunderbolt" Ross. In the ''Unlimited'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS3E7PatriotAct Patriot Act]]", he injects himself with an old Captain Nazi's SuperSoldier serum which transforms him the Shaggy Man, basically a Grey Hulk expy -- being a grey-skinned hulking beast that remains somewhat sane, lucid, and able to talk properly.
*** In a retroactive sense (since he was created before), he can be considered an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to the first Red Hulk: a GeneralRipper who [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becomes]] [[YouAreWhatYouHate what he hates]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/Primal2019'' episode, "Rage of the Ape-Men", Spear drinks a sip of the ape-men's potion and turns into a blue-skinned, muscle-bound giant who goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' episode "Don't Make Me Angry", the [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe]] ''Clunk'' comic book stars Bruce Bandicoot, a Bruce Banner expy, who, from tripping over a wire and being exposed to purple rays, mutates into the Unenviable Clunk, a purple muscular version of Bruce with green pants. Eggman attempts to do the same, hoping to be strong like Clunk, but gets [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter opposite results]].

* Proto-Clown from ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'' was bioengineered to be the perfect funny clown, but he was made... too big! Too ''strong!!!'' And he doesn't like being laughed at! "Clown smash! Then ''Clown'' laugh!" He has blue skin, too.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Revenge of the Island'': Dakota starts out as a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed parody of Paris Hilton]], until she gets exposed to radioactive waste and starts mutating. She ends up twelve feet tall, green haired, orange skinned, and grows a tail, with the appropriate SuperStrength and HulkSpeak. Unlike most examples, she can't change back.

NOW GO, PUNY TROPERS! LEAVE TROPE ALONE!!!

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E6PowerPonies Power Ponies]]", when the Mane Six end up [[TrappedInTVLand sucked into Spike's enchanted comic book]], [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] becomes Saddle Rager, essentially a pony version of the Hulk. Fluttershy is such a gentle soul however that she has a hard time activating her anger triggered powers.... until the villain swats a firefly in [[FriendToAllAnimals Fluttershy's]] presence.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E6PowerPonies Power Ponies]]", when the Mane Six end up [[TrappedInTVLand sucked into Spike's enchanted comic book]], [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] becomes Saddle Rager, essentially a pony version of the Hulk.

[[caption-width-right:350:Puny human, you walked into the ''WRONG'' Anger Management meeting... [[note]]Clockwise from top-left: [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory The Infraggable Krunk]], [[ComicBook/WildCatsWildStorm Maul]], [[ComicBook/{{Youngblood}} Badrock]], and [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Nemesis]], with [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] himself in the center.[[/note]]]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Youngblood}}'': Badrock is an {{Expy}} of both The Hulk and The Thing--the two big men of Marvel. He is a massive behemoth made of a rock-like mineral with an exaggerated muscular physique and is by far the strongest member of the Youngblood team. In reality, he's a teenage boy who was given superpowers by mistake and still very much has the mentality of a teenager--a {{glory seek|er}}ing, [[CasanovaWannabe skirt-chasing]] ThrillSeeker. When he gets angry, he's pretty much a stone Hulk.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'': Super Mutants are huge hulking brutes who generally have enhanced strength, low intelligence, massive anger management issues, and a disdain for puny, baseline humans. They also tend to be green in color. However, they are created via a Forced Evolutionary Virus rather than radioactive material.

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'': Nemesis is a mash-up of The Hulk and [[TerminatorImpersonator a Terminator]]--a huge, unstoppable behemoth sent after specific targets. Unlike his predecessor, Mr. X, Nemesis is a raging berserker who doesn't slowly chase after his quarry so much as he barrels at them with full steam, tries to throw heavy objects or even ''vehicles'' after them, and roars animalistically. The similarities between him and The Hulk are played up in ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds]]'', where he first cameos (and gets utterly trounced) in Hulk's ending but is later added to the playable Roster, where he is portrayed as a rival "strong man" to the Green Goliath.

** Although [[Characters/GreenLantern1941 Solomon Grundy]]'s creation in 1944 actually ''predates'' the Hulk, he is a massive RevenantZombie with strength rivaling that of Franchise/{{Superman}} and is impervious to most forms of harm including [[CompleteImmortality death]]. Later depictions of him have a more massive physique, third-person speech patterns, and low intelligence. The DC and Marvel co-produced ''Amalgam Comics'' line solidified the similarity by merging Hulk and Grundy to create The Skulk.

** The show reimagines the [[VoodooZombie Bombie]] as a tall, undead, muscular creature, with a design more similar to Solomon Grundy and the Hulk. He's cursed to forever hunt the richest person in the world, literally unable to stop, unless they learn humility. He is incredibly strong, invulnerable to most forms of harm, and will destroy anything in its path, to get to its target. Bribery only makes him angrier, though he does calm down, after Louie finally humbles himself.

** On top of the Hulk himself, the MarvelUniverse (and the multiverse that surrounds it) has its own share of Hulk clones that were either created from the same experiments that turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk, experiments done to ''combat'' the Hulk, children of the Hulk, or just complete coincidences.

** [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Edward_Walker_(New_Earth) Eddie Walker a.k.a.

In ComicBook/TheNew52, there are [[DecompositeCharacter two different versions of him]].

* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': Most champions tend to be {{exp|y}}ies of other popular characters. But none of them are so obvious as Dr. Mundo, the Madman of Zaun. He speaks of himself in the third person, is extremely muscular, has a weird skin colour, has a backstory of a scientific genius alter-ego, has an extremely quick HealingFactor, and wears strategically broken pants and the tattered remnants of a completely tattered white shirt. Bonus points, as his current voice actor Creator/ArmenTaylor would later voice the green Goliath in Spidey and his amazing friends.

* ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' has the one-off metahuman Tantrum, a Bruce Banner-esque introverted teenager of above-average intelligence who transforms into a giant, simple-minded brute whenever he gets angry. Furthering the reference, Tantrum reverses the Hulk's color scheme and has purple skin while wearing green pants.

** [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Mark_Desmond_(Prime_Earth) Mark Desmond]] was a chemist who created a formula to increase his strength, but it turned him into a huge mindless monster instead. How much he looks like the Hulk varies from artist to artist, and how much intelligence he retains varies from writer to writer (from literally mindless and speechless, to being able to grunt out a few sentences in HulkSpeak), but the [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Mark_Desmond_(Prime_Earth) most recent version]] is basically the classic Hulk with gray skin and slightly longer hair.

* In ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'', the opening of the episode "Love at First Height" has the Turner's car driving through Area 51 where a purple Hulk like creature tries to crush the car but misses.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E6PowerPonies Power Ponies]], when the Mane Six end up [[TrappedInTVLand sucked into Spike's enchanted comic book]], [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] becomes Saddle Rager, essentially a pony version of the Hulk.

As one of the most unique and recognizable {{superhero}}es in American media, [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk The Hulk]] is often a subject of copying, parody, or deconstruction.

{{Exp|y}}ies of The Hulk usually exhibit the following qualities:

* They are either DumbMuscle, an animalistic [[TheBrute Brute]] or [[ManChild childlike]] in behavior. Often [[ThirdPersonPerson speaks in the third person]] or [[YouNoTakeCandle in broken sentences]]. Often uses one of Hulk's many catchpharases, such as: "HULK SMASH!", "Hulk is strongest there is!", "Madder Hulk get, stronger Hulk get", "Hulk just want to be left alone" and "Hulk hate puny humans".

* Often a [[ArrogantGodVsRagingMonster rival or frequent opponent]] against the local [[TheCape Cape]][=/=]FlyingBrick, similar to Hulk's rivalries with [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] and Franchise/{{Superman}}. Other potential rivals are obvious expies to ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, ComicBook/TheThing, or ComicBook/NamorTheSubmariner.

** General Wade Eiling starts off as an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to Hulk supporting character "Thunderbolt" Ross. In the ''Unlimited'' episode "Patriot Act", he injects himself with an old Captain Nazi's SuperSoldier serum which transforms him the Shaggy Man, basically a Grey Hulk expy--being a grey-skinned hulking beast that remains somewhat sane, lucid, and able to talk properly.
*** In a retroactive sense (since he was created before), he can be considered an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to the first ComicBook/RedHulk: a GeneralRipper who [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becomes]] [[YouAreWhatYouHate what he hates]].
** The series' portrayal of Solomon Grundy is also heavily inspired by The Hulk. Aside from HulkSpeak and his general build and superpower of being super strong and durable, as well as propensity to do The Hulk's common clap attack. The homage is made incredibly explicit in the episode "The Terror Beyond" which is an extended ShoutOut to ComicBook/TheDefenders and Solomon Grundy takes The Hulk's spot on the team.

** Rampage is an {{Expy}} of both Hulk and ComicBook/SheHulk. Her origin is similar to Hulk's: Like Bruce Banner, she is a brilliant scientist caught in [[FreakLabAccident the explosion of a device created by herself]], caused by the interference of a nasty coworker (Dr. Thomas Moyers, a stand-in for Igor Drenkov in Hulk's origin). She transforms into an orange-skinned monster. On the other hand, she has elements of She-Hulk, like her [[DistaffCounterpart gender]] and personality, lacking Banner's identity disorder, keeping her intellect while transformed (except for her first transformation) and [[VoluntaryShapeshifter transforming at will]] (once again, the first time being an exception).

* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': The Living Nightmare's early appearances portray it similarly to the classic Hulk: big, strong, violent and destructive, with a monstrous appearance, jet-black skin, and an animalistic mind. Also like the Hulk, it's had periods of [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor being purely villainous (albeit usually through villainous influence), an amoral rampager, or a full-on good guy]].
