According to the Google,The Hulk Wasn't Always Green In his 1962 debut, the Hulk was actually gray. Stan Lee chose gray because he wanted a color that didn't suggest any particular ethnic group. However, the printer had a hard time keeping the gray consistent—sometimes he looked silver, sometimes charcoal, and sometimes almost white. By issue #2, they switched to green simply because it was easier for the 1960s printing presses to handle.

Thanks to everyone for your excellent behaviour, respect and participation on our Earth Day Walk yesterday that honoured former Birchwood teacher Josh Underhay.  Now the hard work begins for everyone.  Earth Day is a time where you can reset your actions when it comes to how to use our planet.  Sure we can send 4 people around the moon and back, but we can’t send all 7 billion of us to a secondary place to hunker down.  This Earth is the only place we can live, it’s our home.  Mr. Underhay would likely agree that we have to take care of it and work with each other to do so.  So once again, thank you all.
