When Bruce Banner puts on the suit it presents poetic storytelling as theHulk just donned the very same armor meant to take him downshould he lose control, now in a reverse scenario, it’s Tony Stark and the Avengers who have lost control due to the virus. Being an immortal superhero, the Hulk is already the Avengers' strongest member but,combined with Stark’s advanced technology, Bruce becomes the Avengers' brains and brawn in the ultimate power upgrade. Even without the life-threatening situation of a Zombie apocalypse, Bruce Banner may be a stellar choice as the next Iron Man.
Iron Man may be the tech genius as the Avengers' engineer, but Bruce Banner is notably also a man of science, being one of the Avengers’ brightest as a world-renowned physicist, and their combined talents make a Stark tech-powered Hulk even deadlier. When considering both Bruce Banner’s incredible power as the Hulk and his Stark-level intellect, Hulk is actually the perfect successor of Iron Man if it weren’t for his already established hero identity. The Hulk might even have the potential to evolve the Iron Man mantle as a physicist,a hero with very few weaknesses, and immortality.
