The curious thing is, the Hulkās affection for Betty is, in most versions of the story, completely platonic. Bruce is the one whoās in love with her, Hulk is just protective of her because sheās nice to him. Same as with Rick or really anyone who shows him even the slightest bit of kindness. Or even just anything besides active hostility. Heās kinda just like that. Side effect to being constantly attacked and hurt to the point where you come to expect it from everybody you meet I guess.
