Fun Fact Friday

The Incredible Hulk’s green skin color is actually a result of a printing mistake! Initially, Stan Lee gave Hulk a grey skin to portray him as a monster that he was. However, during printing, there were problems with the grey color. Each copy resulted in a different-hued Hulk with some being green. When Stan Lee saw these, he noticed that green suited Hulk better than grey. Thus, the color of the green monster that we all love.
