I even reached out to One Who Might be Able to Confirm the theory without luck. My source didn’t know although working the Marvel method and that Lee seemed to give Ditko great leeway (no pun), suggests that odds are I’m correct.

And Ditko was packing enough anger to suggest that being upset could trigger Banner’s transformations...

Marcia Lucas, who won an Academy Award for the original Star Wars, has passed away.

Per the legend or whatever, her editing is what made the first Star Wars film work. Allegedly edited the story into making sense while editing the film.
