The Incredible Hulk is a Marvel comic; conceived by Stan Lee one summer-evening back in the early 60's that revolves around the thrilling adventures of Bruce Banner, a crazy bespectacled scientist who accidentally blew himself up during US government gamma-bomb testing. Instead of rightfully being fractured into his constituent atoms Banner obtains the ability to transform into a gigantic green-skinned goliath, capable of tearing open tanks like tin-cans and leaping distances of several miles in a single bound but, and here's the twist, only when he gets really mad! Luckily for comic book fans, Hulk has a habit of going batsh*t insane, freaking out on the regular; wherever and whenever faggotry rears its ugly head. At one point, Iron Man got drunk and shot Hulk into space. It became the collective opinion of mankind that Earth was f**ked when he returned.

There were some noticeable grammatical errors ("the headline on this morning's newspaper," "while he thought... he quickly learned," "former has-been," "more of a dynamo than she was before," "new-found," "went away with the goatee," etc.).
That said, I think you got the tone of Tony's sarcasm perfect ("I found Jesus, and I know who I'm voting for"). While the use of the children's hospital was a little cheesy, you were careful with the details. I particularly appreciated that the game of Go Fish didn't drop off altogether in the conversation. Most authors would just mention it to establish the child's chatter and ignore it thereafter.

I like how Tony is jealous over Steve. The spotlight’s not on him so he gets a little mad. I really like how this spotlight’s the reactor bit. It was supposed to be a good idea and now he feels empty without it. I feel that with everything in the other movies, this would be a typical reaction. After the novelty of not having it wears off, he now questions who he is. It defined him for a while. I like how S.H.I.E.L.D. asked him for things instead of his personal assistance. It kind of regulates him back to a consultant. I do like how he compares himself to a monkey.
What I did find really interesting is that you kept Pepper’s powers. I’d love to know what’s going on with that.
The fact he watches The Price is Right is hilarious. I do like how every network talks about how wonderful Steve is. That’s fantastic. Then the fact Steve shows up at the door is even better. I love it.
The part where Steve calls Tony selfish was curious. I would like to know why Steve thought he was selfish. Maybe it’s about appearance. Steve sees it one way Tony sees it another. I do like that Steve pretty much drags him out of the house. He doesn’t give Tony any room to say no. He basically says let’s go.
I was surprised Steve took him to the hospital. It was nice that Tony was forced to come outside of the self-pity he’d been in. I love the third degree Jonathan gives him. I couldn’t help but think that one of the seaQuest crew made it into this fic. It really made me smile thinking about that. Especially since he grilled Tony on life. I love that he just says he’s ten and that makes him wise.
This was a nice little piece. I like how it ends with Tony wanting to go back to the hospital. This was such a lovely piece. Awesome job!

First off, I think you write Tony Stark really well. His line, "A monkey could do what I do" sounded like something Tony would bitterly think. I also think its cool how you incorporated Iron Man 3's ending, it helps flesh out the problem.

Saying that Tony loves The Price is Right is a nice detail, helps flesh out the world just a bit more. I've always liked the small things like that. Too bad Tony wasn't able to watch it.

Back to Tony dialogue, "Wing Tips" is a cool nickname. Tony seems to have one for all the Avengers, so I'm glad you gave Cap one. Tony's self-conscious reaction to Cap arriving at the door was realistic; being in a wife-beater can't be flattering.

Tony and Pepper broke up? Aw. I guess it just didn't work out. I kinda wish that had been a bit more detailed, but it may have been hard to fit in this story.

I haven't mentioned yet, but your Captain America is really solid too. Its apparent during their argument how different they're written. They're perfect foils to each other. Captain America speaks slightly more old fashioned, with less slang than Tony.

Aw, the whole hospital scene with the children the feels. Those kids were all cute, and it seems they're just what Tony needed to get his self-confidence back. I can also empathize with Tony's initial nervousness (it was his first time visiting the children at the hospital after all), and at least he didn't run away or something. Cap did good.

Really nice story. I didn't notice any obvious spelling or grammar errors, so I give this two thumbs up.
