Second Hulk Robot

It was brought to life by cosmic energies released by the Eternals (comics), Eternals from Olympia (comics), Olympia when they emerged from the Uni-Mind. The energies granted the Hulk Robot sentience and increased its strength to rival the Hulk. It broke out of the lab and went on a rampage. When the National Guard couldn't stop the Hulk Robot, three Eternals members (Ikaris, Makkari (comics), Makkari, and Sersi) were called in. Both the Eternals and National Guard were losing until Zuras entered the fray. When it charged Zuras, cosmic energies leaked and it was rendered inert.

After the extraterrestrial disk was done showing this to Thunderbolt Ross, Red Hulk and Rick Jones (comics), A-Bomb, Red Hulk considered decapitating it only for the Hulk Robot to activate upon absorbing the cosmic energy that was used to empower Red Hulk.

Leader (alongside the other Intelligencia (comics), Intelligencia members) managed to obtain the Hulk Robot.

Bruce Bravelle was a test subject for a scientist who was trying to find a way to nourish the human body with electrical currents instead of food. In the middle of one of the tests, a bolt of lightning struck the castle in which the experiment was being conducted, causing an opposing magnetic flow and giving Bravelle the ability to spin around at superhuman speed when he crosses his wrists or is exposed to electricity. He can fly, drill his way through walls, and deflect bullets. He can operate underwater and travel at a speed of up to . His bullet-deflecting and wall-drilling powers are created by the intense whirlwind which he generates when spinning.
In his first adventure (published in 1940), the Top thwarts a bank robbery and is accused of being a thief when the bank manager personally keeps the returned money, but ultimately exposes the manager.
In his second adventure (published in 1942), the Top fought and defeated a sinister criminal mastermind called the Red Terror.
