Incredible Future

Posted to Flickr on 07 November 2009.

In the pages of Marvel Comics a nuclear war one hundred years hence destroys most of the Earth’s superheroes. An old and highly-intelligent Hulk survives, seizes control, and rules the harsh new world with an iron fist as "The Maestro."

In 1997 Toy Biz produced this action figure as part of the Marvel Legends toy line. Among the accessories are Captain America’s broken shield, Thor’s hammer, Dr. Strange’s cape, and Iron Man’s helmet.
