A thing I am still thinking about: from Bruce's POV, the Hulk being triggered by a particular pulse rate seems akin to a physical illness or disability; making the trigger emotional moves it more into the realm of mental illness.

Interesting. I haven't seen any of the Hulk movies, but I always thought the Hulk was a metaphor for rage (specifically) and the sheer primal force of emotion (generally), not a metaphor for disability or mental illness. Bruce Banner gets angry (emotional trigger), his anger manifests as the Hulk.

Do you think unwanted transformation is inherently a disability metaphor?
