Hulking Becomes Chuck Norris

"When Chuck Norris was born, the only person who cried was the doctor. Never slap Chuck Norris."

Villains will get punished when they attack Hulkling with this deck. It's built around an idea someone talked about on Reddit about how high a character's defense can get. With this deck, you can get Hulkling's defense to 8 with a single event, using Armored Vest, Defensive Conditioning, Armored Shape, and Defense Specialist.

That's when we turn our high defense into an attack with "Stop Hitting Yourself" and Armored Defense. On top of that, you can get at least 2 Retaliate, plus Riposte can deal 3 additional damage. Flow Like Water and Excelsior gives you additional ways to deal damage to attackers.

For threat management, you have Not Today! and Hard to Ignore. You shouldn't ever flip to Alter Ego. However, you've got Altman Residence to get Armored Defense if you really need to flip. Wiccan also gets those back too, while being an amazing thwarter for just two cost.

One key interaction to note is if the Villain has Toughness, and you have retaliate, you can wait until that triggers before using "Stop Hitting Yourself" and Armored Defense.

Remember, never slap Hulkling!

Bonus Chuck Norris joke:

"Chuck Norris was born feet first. It was the only time a doctor died during childbirth."

Note: This deck isn't tested yet because I don't have Civil War. Also, I've designed this as a Solo deck, although I expect it plays fine with other players.
