    Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. 

Hulk/Bruce Banner

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

A world famous scientist specialising in gamma radiation, mutated into a super-strong hulking creature as a result of exposure to his own prototype gamma radiation bomb.


  • Adaptational Intelligence: Hulk's intellect is upgraded considerably for the show. While the comics version is often brutish but no fool, this version is not only a good leader, he knows his way around technology (without smashing it, much). Justified, as his brain went through changes thanks to Mesmero in Ultimate Spider-Man (2012).
  • The Berserker: Push him too far, and the old Hulk starts to shine through.
  • Fusion Dance: With Red Hulk. Of the Mix-and-Match Critter kind.
  • Gentle Giant: Unless you get him angry.
  • Going Commando: As revealed when his iconic pants briefly get caught on a statue's spear.
  • Not Himself: Getting zapped by an anti-gamma ray made by General Ross turns him completely mellow. It freaks everyone else out. Hulk on the other hand, secretly admitted that he enjoyed the experience.
  • Only Sane Man: He's the most calm (!) and level-headed member of the team.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Red Hulk's red.
  • Secret-Identity Identity: Does Hulk consider himself Bruce Banner? The show keeps it a bit vague. While She-Hulk, Red Hulk and A-Bomb are often called by their real names, Hulk is near exclusively called "Hulk" or a nickname (Big Guy, Greenie, ect.), the number of times he's been called Bruce can be counted on one hand. However, oddly enough, his spacewalk suit is labeled "Banner" and not "Hulk".
  • Secret-Keeper: He and A-Bomb are the only ones who know of Skaar being The Mole.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: His greatest fear is losing control and becoming the monster he used to be seen as.
  • Worth It: Bruce Banner got pelted by Gamma Rays saving Rick Jones from an exploding gamma bomb. Despite the misery it's brought him over the years, he doesn't regret it for an instant.

A-Bomb/Rick Jones

Voiced by: Seth Green

The boy who inadvertently caused Bruce Banner to become the original Hulk. Later mutated into a gamma mutate himself. He wants the world to see the Hulk’s heroic side so he started a web show of his cameras recording their missions.


She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters

Voiced by: Eliza Dushku

Bruce Banner's female cousin, who became a female gamma mutate after receiving a blood transfusion from him.


  • Action Girl: She's Hulk's cousin and a gamma mutate. It goes with the territory.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: As Galactus's herald.
  • Berserk Button: She does not take kindly to herself or the other Hulks being referred to as "monsters."
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. She gets just as much Toilet Humor assigned to her as the male gamma mutates do. Some examples of this are how she stank the whole bathroom on the ship and A bomb needed to use an entire can of air freshener to get rid of the fart smell, how her bio mentions she never backs down from a burping contest, how Red hulk Mentioned she didn’t had any right to criticize his breath since she ate anchovies and didn’t cared if other people smelled it, she used her body odor to get out of some handcuffs and she was blamed for clogging the toilet in another episode which says how frequent that happens
  • Burping Contest: Her bio mentions she enjoys participating in these, but it hasn't happened on the show (yet). It has been implied that she won a burrito eating contest tho
  • Deadpan Snarker: She tends to be the most sarcastic of the Hulks.
  • Hand Blast: Seems to be able to do this now (which was useful against Laufey).
  • The Lad-ette: Just as boisterous, aggressive, hot-headed and gross as her male counterparts, and has just as much of a penchant for Toilet Humor. As mentioned above, her bio says she enjoys partaking in Burping Contests she is shown also stinking a whole bathroom, which is hardly a ladylike thing to do. Also partakes in Roller Derby, a sport with a strong Lad-ette subcultural aspect to it.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: She says she knows exactly how A-Bomb feels when he gets frustrated over Hulk being overprotective of him, remembering how her cousin wouldn't even let her fight Batroc the Leaper when she first became a Hulk herself.
  • Sleeves Are for Wimps: Her outfits usually expose her arms.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The only female on the team.
  • Super-Empowering: Becomes the herald of Galactus temporarily.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: The cold. Which comes as something of a shock and disappointment to Jen.

Skaar

Voiced by: Ben Diskin

Skaar first appears to be an amnesiac, when the agents of S.M.A.S.H. meet him he's under the control of Annihilus. Hulk soon learns he's a spy for The Leader.


  • Adaptational Dumbass: Much, much less intelligent than his comic counterpart, being The Ditz.
  • The Atoner: Skaar wants to make up for his past actions as both The Mole for the Leader, and for not being able to protect the people of Saakar.
  • Barbarian Longhair: Which helps distinguish him (alongside his more gray skin tone and Cool Sword) from the Hulk.
  • Big Eater: Skaar likes eating.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: When he first appears, he's being directly mind-controlled by Annihilus.
  • Composite Character: His personality is more like the comic's Savage Hulk than the show's actual Hulk.
  • Cool Sword: His weapon of choice.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Happens in “Incredible Shrinking Hulks” when Skaar turns on The Leader and attacks him, stating that Earth is his new home and The Agents of S.M.A.S.H. were his new family.
  • Heroes Love Dogs: Adores Lockjaw of the Inhumans, and once everything with them is wrapped up he's allowed to give Lockjaw scritchies.
  • Hidden Depths: Skaar may not be very eloquent, nor does he come across as terribly bright, but as it turns out in the show finale, he doesn't like being treated like a dumb monster.
    Skaar: Now Hulk know how Skaar feel.
  • Hulk Speak: Speaks like this full time.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Skaar is surprisingly fast for such a big guy.
  • Malaproper: On occasion, thanks to his childish intelligence, such as fumbling "technology" into "techmology".
  • The Mole: Skaar began as a spy for the Leader before undergoing a Heel–Face Turn.
  • Mysterious Past: He's working with the Leader to learn about his origins. Eventually it turns out he's from Sakaar, where he was found as a baby, raised by the people who found him, and then enslaved by the Leader.
  • Never Accepted in His Hometown: The people of Sakaar hate him, for the destruction the Leader made him inflict on them.
  • Unrelated in the Adaptation: Comic Skaar is Hulk's son via an alien lover; Agent Skaar is not, as far as we know, biologically related to Hulk.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Technology in general, but also apparently Unwilling Roboticisation as well.

Red Hulk/Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross

Voiced by: Clancy Brown

Originally a US Army General dedicated to capturing Hulk, "Thunderbolt" Ross eventually went so far as to turn himself into a gamma mutate himself.


  • Adaptational Heroism: Is usually a villain in other media, or at least, starts out as such.
  • Anti-Hero: His poor communication skills often affect both his image and how well he works with the rest of the team.
  • Antiquated Linguistics: You wouldn't know from looking at his Red Hulk form, but his age shows when he starts going Gosh Dang It to Heck!.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Spends a lot of time mocking the other Hulks for one reason or another.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: It's made very clear that he actually took Hulkification really well, as he enjoys having the Super-Strength and Super-Toughness to be a one-man army instead of pushing paper behind a desk like he would be doing if he was still a human general.
  • Butt-Monkey: The show does focus the abuse a little more on him than on the rest of the team.
  • Burning with Anger: He gets hotter the angrier he gets.
  • Character Development: It's subtle, but at the beginning of the show he had a I Work Alone mentality, wanted to be in charge instead of Hulk, and hated Devil Dinosaur. By the second season, he has actually learnt to work as a team with the others, no longer questions Hulk's authority that much and expresses anger when he sees what the Leader did to Devil.
  • Energy Absorption: On occasion, he can drain the gamma energy straight out of someone.
  • Fusion Dance: With Hulk
  • Good Is Not Nice: Can be very rude at times, but always does the right thing when it counts.
  • Guns Akimbo: He carries two huge double-barreled weapons, and uses them both at the same time.
  • Hypocritical Heartwarming: Will razz and insult Hulk all day long, but when teamed up with the Avengers declares he only takes orders from Big Green (even though Rick tries pointing out he doesn't).
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He may be the team asshole, but he's still got a good heart deep down.
  • Leader Wannabe: Often talks about taking charge of the team himself. Justified, since he was once a general, and is used to giving orders, rather then taking them.
  • The Nicknamer: Likes calling Hulk "Greenie". She-Hulk is "Shulkie".
  • Papa Wolf: He's very protective of his daughter Betty, though the two have been estranged for years.
  • Patriotic Fervor: As might be expected of a guy who was once a general, he's very fond of the US of A.
  • Red Is Heroic: Given that he's the Red Hulk.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Hulk's blue.
  • Self-Deprecation: His daughter is about the only person who can bring out his softer side, getting Ross to admit she got a lot of her stubbornness from him.
  • Superhero Packing Heat: He's got an impressive collection of weaponry, to say the least.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's afraid of losing his strength.

Devil Dinosaur

Iron Man/Tony Stark

Voiced by Adrian Pasdar

Spider-Man/Peter Parker

Wolverine

Voiced by Steve Blum

  • Enemy Mine: With Hulk in "Wendigo Apocalypse"
  • The Cameo: In The Collector, he only shows up with no speaking role while being trapped inside of a containment prison.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: Hulk mentions in Wendigo Apocalypse that he brings the worse out of him.

Captain America


  • Aesop Amnesia: a played with example in that he's never seen learning the aesop in the first place. In the 'Secret Avengers' episode of Avengers Assemble, he specifically states to Fury that there's more to the Hulk than just smashing. By 'Planet Monster Part 1', he seems to have forgotten this.
  • Old Superhero: In the "Hydra takes over America" reality, he never got frozen.
  • Rousing Speech: He's Cap. He's good at these. One manages to produce a Single Tear from Red Hulk.

Doc Samson

Black Widow


  • The Cameo: She is trapped in a containment prison in The Collector.

The Thing

Mainframe

Voiced by Jeffrey Combs

Ant-Man


  • The Cameo: Has a small appearance being imprisoned with no speaking role in The Collector.

Ghost Rider

Voiced by Fred Tatasciore

  • Ascended Extra: From voiceless cameo in season one to starring guest role in season two.
  • Back for the Finale: Helps to fight the Kree in the finale.
  • Chain Pain: He can do a lot with his, including burning the corruption out of people like Emil Blonski.
  • Cool Car: This version of Ghost Rider is not picky with what vehicles he uses. One of them happens to be an old-style car.
  • Ghost Train: And the other is a steam train that leads into hell, complete with tracks made out of bones. It's basically that doodle you made in high school that one time.
  • The Cameo: Like most of the imprisoned heroes in The Collector.

Deathlok / Luther Manning


  • '90s Anti-Hero: He's got the name, the look, the personality, but the character actually predates the nineties by sixteen years.
  • A Good Name for a Rock Band: A-Bomb thinks his name would be perfect for a heavy metal band.
  • Back for the Finale: Returns to help fight the Kree.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Appears out of nowhere and tries to frag some mallgoers, but it turns out he's after Skrulls. And everyone in the mall is a Skrull.
  • Set Right What Once Went Wrong: He came back in time to stop the Skrulls wiping out near-all humanity.
  • Shout-Out: Maybe a little bit of Terminator references sinking in, even if Deathlok came first by some years.
  • Taking You with Me: As a potential last resort, he's willing to blow himself up to take out the Skrulls.
  • Walking the Earth: At the end of the episode, with the Skrulls driven off and his future averted, he figures he might as well see the world he gave up everything to save.
  • You Can't Go Home Again: He knew the time travel was only going to be one way, but since the Skrulls had already trashed Earth in his time it didn't matter.

The Falcon


  • The Cameo: He is one of the Avengers being imprisoned in The Collector.

Hawkeye


  • The Cameo: Like most of the imprisoned Avengers in The Collector.

Dr. Strange

Voiced by Jack Coleman

  • Back for the Finale: One of the many heroes who returns to fight the Kree.
  • The Cameo: He made a minor cameo appearance being one of the imprisoned heroes in The Collector.
  • The Mentor: Briefly becomes A-Bomb's mentor in magic.
  • Wax On, Wax Off: He tried a form of this with A-Bomb, and it... kind of worked.

Wasp


  • The Cameo: She made a cameo appearance being one of the imprisoned heroes in The Collector.

Howard the Duck


  • The Cameo: He only shows up as one of the imprisoned heroes in The Collector.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: He is given a little more fanfare than the other cameos in the episode, with the Collector declaring him the last hero he needs for his collection. Flash-forward a year later and Howard would get a speaking role as a post-credit cameo - talking to the Collector.

Guardians Of The Galaxy

Drax voiced by David Sobolov
Rocket Voiced by Billy West

Thor


Helped the Hulks defend Earth against the Ice Giants.

  • Super-Strength: Like most adaptations.
  • Thunder Hammer: Mjolnir, though in "Days of Future Smash" Hulk runs into a younger Thor who has yet to start wielding it, and instead wields a smaller, less powerful pick-axe type hammer.

Hercules

Voiced by Townsend Coleman

  • Back for the Finale: He returns to help fight the Kree.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: Loves to fight and to party.
  • Captain Patriotic: Is, at first, the defender of Greece, to the point that Hulk suggests that he can't leave. As it turns out, he can, he just generally doesn't.
  • Character Development: is, at first, simply interested in partying, flirting and fighting for the fun of it, but he learns when to be serious.
  • Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon: Though it's technically a mace, he uses it like a hammer.
  • Expy: He's very like a pre Character Development Thor, and Hulk refers to him as the Greek Thor.
  • Famed In-Story: and he knows it. Oh, he knows it.
  • Glory Seeker: Is this.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: Fouls up Hulk's plan by charging straight in.
  • Miles Gloriosus: Subverted. He may go on and on about himself, but he can back up the boasts.
  • Nice Guy: He's a long way up himself and a braggart, at least at first (and A-Bomb points out that so would most people if everyone praised them for several thousand years), but he's nice and friendly to pretty much everyone.
  • Sex Is Violence: Has family friendly shades of this - he compares love and war by saying, 'does everyone not love to fight?'
  • Super-Strength: He's as strong as any of the Hulks. The guy isn't called 'the Prince of Power' as a pet name, folks.

    Villains 

Leader


  • And Then What?: A forcibly calmed down Hulk does this in "The Green Room" where he asks Leader what exactly it gains him to actually get the victory over the Hulks that he wants so badly.
  • Arch-Enemy: To the Hulk.
  • Big Bad: Of season 1.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: In Planet Monster, he's down to this, unsuccessfully forming an alliance with the Supreme Intelligence and Ronan, only for him to get absorbed, and the fact that they consider him insignificant.
  • Catchphrase: "Premise: X. Conclusion: Y."
  • Composite Character: Takes on the role of the Red King in the show's version of Planet Hulk.
  • Diabolical Mastermind: Was behind Annihilus and had Skaar became a mole. Also the Ice Giant attack.
  • Insufferable Genius: He’s as smug and condescending as he is smart.
  • Kick the Dog: His actions are often just as much about hurting the Hulks as personally as possible as they are about defeating them. Hulk actually calls him out on this in "The Green Room", where he points out that this causes Hoist by His Own Petard because every time he has them dead to rights he just can't resist twisting the knife which is what gives the Hulks a chance at defeating him.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Spent most of season one locked up in the Hulks base, then at SHIELD in season two.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: The Hulks have actually spared/saved his life a couple of times, but he just goes right back to trying to kill them afterwards.
  • Villain Decay: He was more or less a genuine threat in earlier episodes, but starting with his capture by the Hulk, he slowly moved to Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain. For the first half of season 2, he is reduced to a prisoner inside the Hulks' ship, where he is assigned to toilet duty, amongst other things.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Losing his intelligence and going back to the idiot he was before he mutated.

Annihilus


Blastaar


The Collector

Voiced by: Jeff Bennett

Ego the Living Planet


Sauron

Voiced by: Steve Blum

  • Adaptational Backstory Change: Is strongly implied to be a real Pterodactyl who gained superintelligence in this cointinuity, though we don't know where he learned to absorb energy and nothing is confirmed either way (leading to the amusing situation in the Marvel wiki where it states that his name is Karl Lykos(citation needed) and that he is a dinosaur(citation needed)).
  • Beast Man: He's a half-man, half-pterodactyl hybrid.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Had it not been for the Hulks, his machine would've meant the end for mankind.
  • Power Copying: Steals Impossible Man's powers
  • Summon Bigger Fish: He summons Fin Fang Foom

The Wrecking Crew


Titania

Voiced by Clare Grant

Galactus

Voiced by: John DiMaggio

Abomination

Voiced by: Robin Atkin Downes

  • Big Bad Duumvirate: He is usually Leader's partner-in-crime.
  • The Chessmaster: Every time the Hulks make a plan he's three steps ahead.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: He takes out Skaar before the episode starts. Then Devil Dinosaur. Then A-Bomb...Then Red Hulk.
  • De-power: Courtesy of Ghost Rider.
  • Evil Counter Part: To A-Bomb. A-Bomb is even the first one to see Abomination up close.
  • Evil Is Bigger: Same gamma mutate as A-Bomb. But much, MUCH bigger. Abomination even comments on it, upon seeing A-Bomb. "You are tiny and weak"
  • Genius Bruiser: Unlike most portrayals, where he's just The Brute. He's very cunning in this adaption.
  • Knight of Cerebus: The most serious and deadly villain, yet. He takes most of the team down without trouble. And his ultimate goal is to blow up half the continent, while blaming it on the Hulks.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Red Hulk.
  • Super-Soldier: His purpose on becoming a gamma mutate. One specifically to fight the Hulk. Thankfully, Ghost Rider cures him back to human form.

Skrulls


  • Aliens Are Bastards: They plan to take over Earth and use it as a staging ground by wiping out mankind.
  • Evil Knockoff: Super-Skrull has all the powers of the Fantastic Four.
  • False Innocence Trick: Super-Skrull pretends to be an ordinary human teenager when Deathlok first appears. The minute Jen's alone he tries knocking her out.
  • Spock Speak: One of the things that gives them away is the rank-n-file Skrulls don't use contractions.

Dark Hulk

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

  • A Darker Me: Represents Hulk's worst fear; him as the monster he could be.
  • Dark Is Evil: A dark purple that's almost black, and he's Hulk's evil side.
  • Enemy Without: Thanks to some assistance from the Leader, he gets a semi-corporeal form, and uses it to attack Hulk.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: In "The Green Room", his voice is slightly deeper than Hulk's. Snarlier, too.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Unlike Hulk's typically green eyes, his are red.

The Supreme Intelligence

Voiced by: Clancy Brown

  • Big Bad: Of "Planet Monster", as well as the final antagonist of the series.
  • Evil Overlord: Of the Kree Empire.
  • Final Boss: The final threat the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. face in the series.
  • Killed Off for Real: A-Bomb collides his ship into space, which then explodes, killing him off for good.

Ronan The Accuser


  • Adaptational Villainy: Ronan lacks most of his complex Anti-Villain qualities from the comics and is portrayed as a cruel, malevolent, sadistic, and psychotic alien with a twisted sense of honor. As such, he is a hypocritical, self-righteous Knight Templar who is willing to destroy the Earth just to spite the Hulk.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Willing to blow up the Earth just because he can't get at Hulk, even when Bruce points out this isn't justice.
  • The Dragon: To the Supreme Intelligence, as he is the muscle.
  • Hypocrite: He places a bounty on Hulk's head for turning on the Kree during their plan to control Ego/destroy Galactus. He calls Hulk a liar for breaking his word, conveniently overlooking the fact that he had lied to the Hulks about their reason for attacking Ego.
  • Killed Off for Real: Got killed while the mothership got thrown into space.

The Maestro

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

  • Beard of Evil: A distinction between him and Hulk is that Maestro has a beard.
  • The Corrupter: Having turned evil and insane, he travels back in time to turn the Hulk against the Smashers and speed up his fall.
  • Eviler than Thou: In his time, the Abomination is reduced to his flunky, who the Maestro effortlessly slaps around.
  • Hero Killer: Implied that some of the other heroes did try to stop him, only for the Maestro to kill them.
  • Lighter and Softer: Understandable, since Agents of S.M.A.S.H. is a kid's show, so this version of the Maestro is nowhere near as vile and depraved as his comic counterpart.
  • With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The gamma radiation he was zapped with boosted his strength, but at the cost of making him evil and insane. Future A-Bomb travels back in time to depower Hulk before this happens, which cures the Maestro of his evil.

Pluto

Voiced by: Robert Englund

Loki

Voiced by: Troy Baker
Thor's adopted brother.
  • Happily Adopted: In a Time Travel episode, the Leader informs a young Loki that Odin isn't his real father. He seems to start getting over it.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Tricks Skaar into bringing invaders to Asgard.
  • Smug Snake: Hulk runs into a younger, pre-evil Loki via time travel. While he's not evil, he's still an arrogant little jerk.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: It doesn't seem to actually prevent his eventual turn to evil, but past Odin does give Loki a genuine compliment for helping thwart the Leader. D'aww.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: Younger Loki is a mite peeved that All-Father Odin never once praises him for anything ever.

    Minor Characters 

J Jonah Jameson

Voiced by J. K. Simmons

Impossible Man

Voiced by: Tom Kenny

  • Contrived Coincidence: He just happens to take the form of Fin Fang Foom in the beginning of the episode, and then has to deal with the real thing later on. Even he points out the coincidence.
  • Loophole Abuse: When told he can't join the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. because there's no place for a new member, he fuses Hulk and Red Hulk so there'll be a place.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Gets dangerously close to a villain with the power to steal powers.

Korg, Elloe and Miek


  • Adaptational Heroism: Miek, in World War Hulk he turned out to have known about the sabotage of the Hulk's shuttle that ravaged Sakaar, and hid it so Hulk would be provoked into his Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Here, he's just a cowardly insect alien.
  • Adaptational Wimp: All three of them were fighters in Planet Hulk, and World War Hulk had them going up against the major heroes of Marvel and winning. Only Korg remains a physical threat.
  • The Big Guy: Korg towers over the Hulks, who are themselves not exactly slight. Judging by the others, he's still pretty huge even by Kronan standards.

Betty Ross

Voiced by: Misty Lee

  • Dating What Daddy Hates: Things between her and the General weren't great even before Bruce became the Hulk, and she stuck with him even while Ross was hunting Bruce down.
  • It Only Works Once: She does manage to devise a way to depower the Hulk, allowing Bruce to come back, but later tells Bruce that it'll never work again.
  • Parental Title Characterization: Despite the severely strained relationship between her and her dad, she still calls him "daddy".
