Bruce Banner canonically has 7 PhDs and honestly the fact that he periodically turns into a giant green ragemonster after spending that much time in academia without tenure is the most believable thing in the entire Marvel canon.

@mhoye ...also 7 phds implies a giant bucket of money someplace to pay for all the things so essentially hulk is an ultimate expression of the nepo baby / trustafarian archetypes...
@adamsteer @mhoye either that or his real talent is writing really good grant applications

@mhoye did they ever explain why they changed his name to David for that TV show in the 1970s?
@the_turtle @mhoye
Apparently studio executives thought that “Bruce” sounded a bit gay…

@meena @adamsteer Maybe it's a preexisting condition and everyone just knows he's going to turn green and Hulk Smash if he gets mad enough, and that's why they give him all the grants?

@mhoye And with 7 PhDs he's canonically both an idiot and has commitment-to-reality issues, which also tracks. I mean, seriously. Nobody with any actual contact with the real world's going to go for 3 (or even 2) PhD's, let alone 7.
@wordshaper @mhoye I once suggested on twitter that a second PhD was kinda silly, and boy, did I get flamed
but seriously, a PhD is learning how to solve problems, so you don't need a second one -

They might if they're trying to keep delaying student loan payments.

@wordshaper @mhoye I love the multiple PhDs trope
It's like saying "he did 8th grade three times, he must be a genius!" -

@wordshaper @mhoye I have met someone with two PhDs. Was as you would expect. Also know someone with 1½ PhDs but he's kinda normal. For someone with a PhD.

@adamsteer @mhoye PhDs are better paid in some parts of the world.
