Hulk sucks as a character.

Does he have a brain? Can he talk and articulate? Then he's not "the Hulk." Does he grunt and roar and talk like a caveman? Then he isn't entertaining as a character.

Maybe, if they called him Incredible Hulk, that would allow flexibility. When they shorten it to "the Hulk," they're basically calling him a slab of muscle with no brains. Hulk Hogan can have a brain. (Can, not necessarily does.) She-Hulk has a brain. "Hulk" is a lump of green flesh.

I don't know why they shy away from Incredible Hulk. Maybe it's so that he doesn't bounce up against the Incredibles in teh naming department. Either way, just calling him "Hulk" is underwhelming and sets low expectations for his worth as a character.
