He's Thor! (oh excuse me chick got his name when she took his hammer) He's Odinson (oh wait that's sexist) lets make him green and call him hulk! lazy writing!

Actually Amadeus Cho is the new Hulk. The Thor and Iron Fist teasers were red herrings. I guess they don't think Cho is good enough to stand on his own anymore. I'm okay with the occasional mantle passing; Steve died and Bucky took over, Steve got depowered and Sam took over and these made sense. The thing I don't like about what's currently happening is how many mantles are getting shifted, more than one at once is crazy! When it was a woman taking over for Thor I was fine, I guess the name being Thor got a little confusing when old Thor was still around too but whatever. But having all these name-shifts now is getting weird because it's existing heroes taking other heroes' titles for no apparent reason other than elevating their recognition. Okay, X-23 taking up a fallen friend's mantle works until Logan's inevitable return.
