The topic “Marvel Confirms What We All Suspected About Red Hulk’s MCU Superpowers” has two versions, a written one, and a video version below the written one.
With the release of “Captain America: Brave New World” scheduled for early 2025, a long-suspected fact about Red Hulk has been officially confirmed.
The first trailer for the fourth “Captain America” movie, released in July, confirmed that Harrison Ford’s character, Thunderbolt Ross, will transform into the Red Hulk. Ford is taking over this role from the late William Hurt, who portrayed Ross in several previous MCU films, including “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War.”

The Hasbro Captain America: Brave New World Marvel Legends Red Hulk Deluxe Action Figure description confirms that Red Hulk possesses the skin radiation powers characteristic of the character in the comics.
The description states that Red Hulk is “a monster of Samuel Sterns’ making,” referencing The Leader, the confirmed villain in Captain America: Brave New World, portrayed by Tim Blake Nelson. Additionally, it explains that Red Hulk’s “skin radiates intense heat, burning everything he touches:”
“A monster of Samuel Sterns’ making, Red Hulk is an incredibly strong and formidable foe. His skin radiates intense heat, burning everything he touches.”
Red Hulk’s skin radiates heat and burns anything he comes in contact with, a concept that may be familiar to fans of Marvel comics. According to the Marvel Wiki, Red Hulk emits gamma rays, and the intensity of this emission increases as his anger rises. This can sometimes make him appear as if he is on fire. In extreme cases, this overheating could lead to him “exploding with immense levels” of energy.
The Wiki notes that the radiation emitted by Red Hulk can sometimes cause burns on contact, and he has the ability to absorb radiation as well. It is important to highlight that the description refers to “intense heat,” whereas in the comics, Red Hulk specifically gives off gamma radiation. This could indicate a potential change for the MCU, although the description does not explicitly mention this detail.
Many viewers will be interested to see if “Captain America: Brave New World” incorporates the element of gamma rays increasing with Red Hulk’s anger, a detail that is not included in the Hasbro description. However, it would make sense to include this aspect, considering the adaptations of his powers.
“Captain America: Brave New World” is set to be released in theaters on February 14, 2025.
