but the blunder strikes again. Rulk jobs already?

I agree, what a let down. Rulk punches the Watcher, beats Hulk, then beats Thor AND wields his hammer. Next issue, Rulk is defeated by Thor and then by Hulk with the casual beat-down tactic. So what was the point of the "bewildering" Red Hulk?? Sales obviously.

Unless Rulk possesses abilities somewhat like Pitt, who feeds off the aggression of others and strengthened by pain (although still lame) or something like that, its a real bad story. Rulk however did seem to weaken right before Hulk's come-back. Maybe Rulk is powered by his opponents' "doubts"?.. Maybe Rulk is.. Deathurge!

Just trying to find a method to the madness.
