The main idea was to temporarily neutralize Hulk as a threat without the use of brute force. Wakanda Hulkbuster also relied upon releasing specific spores that were capable of putting whales to sleep, let alone the Hulk. Still, T’Challa saw the need to bust out the Hulkbuster in 2015’s Totally Awesome Hulk #9 and “help Cho see reason.” Fortunately enough, the Wakanda Hulkbuster lived up to the combat standards established by Wakanda’s advanced technology. Unfortunately, that left Amadeus Cho, a teenage boy who had befriended Banner/Hulk, very angry and very sad.Ĭho managed to remove the Hulk from Banner’s body and absorb the green monster, becoming the Hulk himself - though admittedly better at controlling the monster’s rage. Of course, nobody really liked Clint’s decision, and he was tried but was later acquitted.


During the events of the second Civil War, Barton was warned about a possible Hulk attack, so he took the shot that ended Banner’s life before anyone was hurt. In fact, Banner was dead when the Wakanda Hulkbuster was put to use. However, while the armor was made to deal with the Hulk threat, it was never used against Bruce Banner’s Hulk. Considering Wakanda’s technological prowess, it’s not that surprising that the Wakanda’s Hulkbuster armor surpasses Iron Man’s design. The Panther King wanted a contingency plan and had all the advanced scientific knowledge and a massive supply of vibranium to do so. So, it’s no wonder why King T’Challa built a Hulkbuster of his own. With such a destructive and uncontrolled power, Hulk is truly a threat to be feared, even on some of his most heroic days. In other words, when Hulk gets very destructive and violent, the inner Banner weeps and cries, but when Kluh emerges, the one crying is the Hulk. One such instance was when Hulk transformed into Kluh, an entity described as Hulk’s Hulk. In the Avenger’s universe, everyone fears what would happen if the Hulk ever truly lost control. However, building Hulkbuster armor isn’t exclusive to Iron Man Black Panther had it too, and his was better. The comic book-loving audience was first introduced to the very first Hulkbuster armor, the Model 13, in 1994’s Iron Man #300, which was later adapted into 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, in an epic scene in which Tony Stark dons the Hulkbuster to try to teach Hulk some good manners (unsuccessfully). Even T’Challa’s Black Panther suit was more advanced than Iron Man’s armor.īut we’re actually more interested in T’Challa’s armor that wasn’t depicted in the movies - the Wakanda Hulkbuster armor. In fact, everything Wakanda made was technologically more advanced, even compared to Tony Stark’s Mark 85 armor seen in 2016’s Avengers: Endgame. It was so advanced, in fact, that even its jungles were made of techno-organic matter infused with vibranium. 2016’s Captain America: Civil War post-credit scene first introduced Wakanda on the silver screen as a concealed African state and the most technologically advanced nation in the world.
