The Hulk has an awesome new design that needs to appear in Marvel Rivals ASAP. A Vanguard hero in the PvP Shooter, Hulk is one of the game's most unique characters, with players able to utilize three forms – Bruce Banner, the Hulk and the even more powerful 'Monster Hulk' form. That means each cosmetic has to really earn its place, as every new look necessitates three separate designs. For that reason, only the very best need apply.
A new look just met that high bar, as Marvel unleashes the Knullified Hulk. This is a version of Hulk who has inherited the mantle of the King in Black, aka the God of Symbiotes. Hulk sprouts black symbiote spikes all over his body, as well as needle teeth and Knull's red scorpion logo. It's a look that would fit perfectly into Marvel Rivals, making Hulk look imposing in all three forms.

The new look is part of a Knullified variant cover initiative starring various heroes, set to celebrate the return of Venom's nemesis, who is getting his own series in January 2026. Coming from Al Ewing, Tom Waltz and Juanan Ramírez, the series follows Knull who – though resurrected – has had his powers and station stolen by the Asgardian goddess Hela. The Knullified Hulk design and cover are by Leinil Francis Yu and will appear on select copies of Infernal Hulk #2.

These looks would make the most of Hulk's 'Monster Hulk' ultimate, where he becomes even bigger and more powerful. In the comics, Hulk himself doesn't usually change into an alternate form in this way. However, that was the case for Titan Hulk and Kluh, and would logically be the case for a Hulk who gained the powers of Knull.
In the past, Hulk fans have complained that the character has disappointingly few true alternate skins in the game. The Knullified Hulk is an opportunity to increase that number by giving the Hulk a true symbiote evolution, unlocking a Marvel Rivals design that makes the 'Monster Hulk' state incredibly literal.
Infernal Hulk #2 is coming December 10 from Marvel Comics.
