>> Bruce is like a burn victim where the scar tissue connected parts that should be separate. <<
Often true.
That kind of problem is typical of people with speed-healing, though; if Steve gets mashed up enough, his skin sticks to the stuff underneath, wherever two raw edges rub together. It makes sense for the emotional equivalent to apply as well.
>> He gets menaced, Hulk comes out and heads away, Bruce doesn't grasp that bullies or their catspaws just had potential and kinetic explained on them. <<
Yes. Bruce knows that because he's seen it, but he doesn't feel it in a way that lets him understand how Hulk just can't sit back and let people get hurt when he could stop it. And I suspect that the barrier between their awareness on this is their mother's death. Bruce pulls away from violence. Hulk acts to stop it, now that he can.
>> Hulk showing up in places he can't help matters (say in a china shop) is because a) Ross is a waste of skin or b)Bruce hasn't figured out better responses that would let Hulk stay dreaming of wiggly kittens. <<
c) Both of them lack the kind of problem-solving skills that would allow them to resolve issues in more effective ways. Bruce could handle things so Hulk doesn't need to come out, or Hulk could show up and use his emotional intelligence instead of his fists. Guess who's learning Lesson C faster.
>> The gamma radiation gave Hulk a hatch so when the sh-tfan comes he just rolls up the blades. <<
Yes, and that's a big part of what has Bruce so panicky that he's squeezing too hard. I think part of the reason why Hulk comes out less often now is control on Bruce's part, not sending up false alarms; but part is because Hulk is learning to identify real emergencies and doesn't want to upset Bruce, so stays inside unless disaster strikes.
>> The more that Hulk gets to come out with the team about, so they can keep him from randomly picking up taxis, and take piccies of Hulk as a person, <<
Exactly. Hulk needs positive experiences.
>> the more Bruce will have to face he's been colonized to self-hate. <<
Yeah, that's gonna hurt.
>> Provides Betty with pie, as she'll need that. <<

Pie makes everything better!
