[@Morden Man] to be fair it wasn't like most relationships where Sentry calmed down Hulk, it's not like Daredevil where Banner trusts Daredevil so he has some influence on the Hulk. With sentry it's his actual presence and the light he emits that calms him down. I think someone like Shazam opens the possibility to have an element of that, and an actual element of Banner trusting him.

Not that Hulk can't have his own friends, his closest friend most notably being Spider-man. Which is why I have a problem in this, who's city do I destroy as I fight a villain, for S.H.I.E.L.D to turn on me then Spider-man to back me up on?
