The Red Hulk was introduced in Hulk #1, written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Ed McGuiness, a monthly ongoing series started following the World War Hulk crossover. Marvel also released a one-shot King Size Hulk (June 2008) in which Frank Cho, Arthur Adams, and Herb Trimpe supplied the artwork.
Crossing the Canadian wilderness, the Red Hulk encounters, and kills, a Wendigo before reaching Russia, where he murders Abomination. Red Hulk is next seen in New York, where he attacks S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Tony Stark, She Hulk and others investigating Abomination's death and erases all files on the Hulk, using a sophisticated computer virus before destroying Stark's newly commissioned Helicarrier. After this, Red Hulk travels to Gamma Base in Death Valley, squaring off against Rick Jones, and his A-Bomb persona, before facing android Harpies and the original Hulk. Thor interrupts the confrontation between the two Hulks.
Red Hulk's identity has yet to be revealed within the comic series, but in an interview Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada suggested it was Ares.
Marvel editor Mark Paniccia has described Red Hulk as "absolutely uninhibited, tactically intelligent", while writer Jeph Loeb states "The Red Hulk is the kind of Hulk we haven't seen before - a thinking, calculating, brutal weapon-toting kind of Hulk." To further distance the character away from the original. "Everything the Green Hulk isn't, the Red Hulk is."

boring. How about Rulk heading back to the sheild fortress and sucker punching tony stark in the mouth. Instead of beating up she hulk whom can't handle the rulk as it is. Good charcter design weak)) story line. come on rulk kills. not play.
Overall the Rulk storyline has been a disappointment in my opinion. Let's hope for some resolution in the "Fall of the Hulks" storyline.
