O Hulk foi baseado em Jekyll / Hyde?

Sim, Stan Lee disse que foi inspirado por Jekyll / Hyde e o monstro de Frankenstein

Lee explicou isso em uma entrevista com a Rolling Stone

When you read the first issue of the Incredible Hulk, it doesn’t seem like a superhero title at all – it feels more in the vein of the monster comics you had been writing beforehand. How conscious was that direction?

I was getting tired of the normal superheroes and I was talking to my publisher. He said, "What kind of new hero can we come up with?" I said, "How about a good monster?" He just walked out of the room. I remembered Jekyll and Hyde, and the Frankenstein movie with Boris Karloff and it always seemed to me that the monster was really the good guy; he didn't want to hurt anybody, but those idiots kept chasing him up the hill until he had to strike back. So why not get a guy who looks like a monster and really doesn't want to cause any harm. But he has to in self-defense, because people are always attacking him.

Sim, em parte:

[Stan] Lee said that the Hulk's creation was inspired by a combination of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Eu fui procurar por uma explicação canônica por trás de qualquer similaridade e, infelizmente, nem o Hulk, Banner, Jekyll ou Hyde apareceram em Deadpool Killustrated - onde Deadpool pula no 'Ideaverse' para matar o inspirações literárias clássicas por trás dos personagens da Marvel.

Sim, em uma autobiografia de seu trabalho no hulk, ele explicou que a criatura era baseada no monstro Frakensteins e que Bruce Banner tirou do Dr.Jekyll
