The IQ of the Hulk varies depending on which version of the Hulk is being discussed. For Savage Hulk, his IQ is estimated to be around 99.
While Bruce Banner is a genius with multiple PhDs, the Hulk's intelligence is more complex. The Hulk's intellect and capabilities change depending on the persona that manifests.
Here's a breakdown:
- Bruce Banner: Possesses an extremely high IQ, easily in the genius range (estimated above 170). He is a renowned physicist specializing in gamma radiation.
- Savage Hulk: This is the classic, rage-fueled Hulk. His intelligence is significantly reduced, relying primarily on instinct and simple problem-solving. His IQ is estimated to be around 99. He is primarily driven by anger and a desire to be left alone.
- Professor Hulk: This version represents a merging of Banner's intellect and the Hulk's strength. He retains Banner's high intelligence while possessing the Hulk's physical prowess. His IQ would be closer to Banner's, placing him firmly in the genius category.
- Other Hulk Personalities: Grey Hulk (Joe Fixit), World Breaker Hulk, and others have varying degrees of intelligence, generally falling somewhere between the Savage Hulk and Professor Hulk.
The estimate of 99 for Savage Hulk reflects his capacity for simple communication and problem-solving, while also accounting for his limited emotional control and tendency toward brute force.
