(As Hulk/Brawn):

Amadeus Cho is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by American writer Greg Pak and Canadian artist Takeshi Miyazawa, the character first appeared in Amazing Fantasy vol. 2 #15 (January 2005). Cho usually appears in books featuring the Avengers or individual members of that group, such as the Hulk or Hercules.

A 19-year-old Korean American genius and one of the smartest people on Earth, Cho succeeds Bruce Banner as the Hulk in The Totally Awesome Hulk #1 (2015). In contrast with Banner, who found his Hulk powers to be a burden, Cho is a confident character who revels in his newfound abilities.[1] And much like Banner's cousin Jen Walters/She-Hulk, Cho largely retains his normal personality, in particular the majority of his intelligence and emotional control. After nearly being overwhelmed by his Hulk persona, Cho regains control over his body and assumes a new transformation known as Brawn.
