This concerns the comic, BTW.....not the 80's cartoon or the CBS show.

So, in Incredible Hulk #272....the Hulk comes back from space or wherever, and due to being exposed to so much gamma radiation,, Bruce Banner had gained the ability to control the Hulk for the first time for a Long length of time (82-85).

Anyways, towards the end of that storyline (About #293), he started having nightmares of losing control of the Hulk again. He vanishes off to the Secret Wars planet, and when he comes back, he's almost completely savage (#295, although the full turn doesn't happen until an issue later). We see bits of the progression in the Secret Wars mini series, but nothing substantial. However, he does die at the hands of Godlike Doom near the end of the mini.....

I guess my question is this, was Hulk being reanimated by the aliens of that planet a major factor in the progression, along with (Doctor Strange villain) Nightmare's influence through bad dreams reawakening the savage Hulk persona?

I leave pics from the run in the spoilers, in order to save space.
