Hulks

Hulks is the plural form of hulk, a term with several meanings in English. In general usage, a hulk describes a person or thing of considerable size and bulk, often with connotations of heaviness or unwieldiness. The word can be used neutrally to describe physical stature, or pejoratively when referring to a person who is clumsy or ungainly.

In nautical terminology, a hulk is a ship that has been retired from service and stripped of its fittings. Such vessels are typically moored in harbor, used as storage or accommodation, or kept as a floating base for a crew or workshop. Hulks may remain usable in a limited sense but are not considered fit for regular sailing.

In popular culture, Hulks can refer to the various Hulk characters in Marvel Comics and related media. The Hulk is a superhero identity of Bruce Banner, who transforms into a large, green-skinned figure with superhuman strength. Over time, many related characters—such as She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) and other Hulk personas—have appeared, and some discussions or fan discourse refer to the group of Hulk variants as the Hulks. The usage is informal and varies across titles and adaptations.
