Hulkling has never been tied to the Hulk, does he count as a legacy character? In the comics wasn't he another off-shoot clone/child using Mar-vell DNA as well as a Skrull's in his veins?

I think the issue is the origin of the name "Hulkling".  While you are correct that he is not literally related to the Hulk, according to Marvel Wikia, Hulkling picked that name because he had a slight resemblance to the Hulk.  Nevertheless, I am not expert on Hulkling.
