History Main / LeaveMeAlone

* ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'': Inverted numerous times when the Hulk, and later Banner, tell the other heroes to leave him alone, and it turns out that they ''should have'' left him alone. Doc Samson even told them "The Hulk keeps telling you to leave him alone. I suggest you do exactly that." It's a given that if the Hulk was left to his own devices, he'd wander into a wilderness area far from any human encroachment and just stay there.
