The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk's character was formed in 1962 by Marvel Comics.  In the creation of the Hulk, Marvel decided to use one of the most iconic leitmotifs in my opinion. It rivals the "Jaws" leitmotif but it is the same concept. In "Jaws", when you hear the iconic theme song, you can understand that Jaws is coming and something bad is susceptible of happening.  The same concept of a motif is applied to the Hulk.  As we all know, when Dr. Bruce Banner is angered, the is bad consequences to whoever has affected him.  Thus, the transformation of "The Incredible Hulk" is made.  This is perfect example of a leitmotif because in the comics or the movies, when tension is building up towards the Hulk, he gets angry, all of the readers and viewers can understand that the transformation will occur as well as destruction.
