"Curious."

In Hulk stories, I think there's a sweet spot in your gamma bomb explosions, like a Goldilocks region: too close, vaporized; too far away, cancer; but if you hit it just right and maybe have the right genetics, you too could become a horrible monster. Lucky! 

Kurt's asking a lot of questions because he maybe doesn't always get to do street level stuff like this that isn't all about mutants and such. And it's a fair question; since the Tracksuits are very obviously only in it for the money. They also seem like thinking ahead isn't their strong suit; so to speak. And it's a bit late in the game, but I wish I had like a no-prize type thing set up; like a point system where points don't accumulate, I don't really give you anything, and it gets you nothing but a momentary warm glow. Because a Happenstance buck to anyone who can guess what the screaming Tracksuit's head is from! Maybe two more if you can tell me where that hairpiece came from, too; since I'm not even sure there.

Honestly isn’t there like a 50/50 you either get cancer or superpowers? That’s usually how it works 🤷‍♂️

I feel like they haven’t done a gamma bomb Hulking in a while- it’s usually blood or some sort of Hulk serum, maybe somebody who was at a previous explosion and just had a delayed reaction.

This feels a bit like when Cat took Sat on her business rounds a while ago, sort of a tour of the urban underbelly or whatever they’re calling that stuff. Also, I feel like it would be ridiculously easy to beat a Stilt Man- just stick your leg or a rope out and trip them. Those suits are not at all balanced.

As for the screaming guy, looks like Sloth from the Goonies or one of the Real Ghostbusters guys to me. Unless there’s a Moe Howard figure, that is. Honestly, I doubt any of those are right but I might as well take a guess.
