It was Hulk. Iron Man and the others weren't no names like some people claim, you could probably ask a kid who Iron Man was and he'd have at least a passing knowledge because Iron Man didn't only have his own show and toyline, but he actively showed up on Spider-Man and I think had a figure in the Spider-Man toyline. (not to mention his appearances in video games) But yeah, if you asked an adult they'd have no clue. But they'd know who Hulk was, because Hulk had a prime time television show. So if both kids and adults knew who Hulk was...it had to be Hulk. I would even argue that Hulk was arguably the most popular Marvel character for a time in the 80's. <cite>Youngster_Joey_ posted [p:905805901] in Before the...

Most adults at the time would have only known Hulk from the Ferringno Hulk show which was more like a personal drama featuring Dr. Jekyll than it was a Superhero show the way Linda Carter's Wonder Woman was. Most children around the 90s would have never watched the Hulk show but would have heard about him through the toy lines which were super popular. Hulk Hands in particular were a huge thing back then. Iron Man appeared in a lot of games, shows, and toys for kids back then. A lot of people also mistakenly associated the Black Sabbath song with the character even though the Song actually predates the character. The song got a surge of popularity in the 90s because of Beavis and Butthead. So Iron Man was popular, maybe for the wrong reasons, but he was popular. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:905806449] in Before the...

They both kinda missed the point, if you think about it.
