History

Crossing the Canadian wilderness, the Red Hulk is attacked by, and kills, a Wendigo. The government detects the Red Hulk in the Bering Strait when a satellite detects the seismic activity of the Hulk landing on the ground. In Dimitri, Russia, the Red Hulk murders Abomination.

In New York, the Red Hulk attacks Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony Stark's newly commissioned Helicarrier causing it to crash land and be destroyed. While there Red Hulk erases all files on the Hulk, using a sophisticated computer virus. After this attack, Red Hulk heads to Gamma Base in Death Valley, Nevada where he squares off against A-Bomb before having to face android Harpies, and the original Hulk.

Red Hulk punches Uatu.

Red Hulk has even punched Uatu in the face for trying to watch their battle. Some of Doc Samson's clothing was found with dramatically increased radiation, so it is possible that Doc is the Red Hulk, although that is not conclusive yet. After fighting, and defeating, the Savage Hulk he was on top of a bridge claiming to be "the strongest there is" until interrupted by Thor. However, Thor found himself unable to defeat Red Hulk and ends up on the Moon after his own defeat. Returning to Earth, Red Hulk goes on to cause an earthquake in San Fransisco which is being dealt with by the Hulk, She-Hulk, A-Bomb, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four.

Notes

It appears that this Red Hulk is very intelligent, much more intelligent than the normal savage Hulk, possibly even more than the Professor Hulk. He uses a very sophisticated virus capable of destroying all of Hulk's files in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database, possible one of the most secure in the world. He also displays the use of firearms.
