BUT IS HE A MARVEL?

LONDON, England (AP) — These London Games have a lot of snazzy names out there, from Usain Bolt to Lolo Jones. But the winner for the best name out there has to be Brazilian forward Hulk.
Just Hulk. With a name like that, who needs a nickname?
He is a reserve on the Brazilian team. But coach Mano Menezes inserted him in the 32nd minute of the gold medal game on Saturday after watching his team look lethargic in falling behind Mexico 1-0.
Hulk's presence was felt almost immediately, when he, yes, smashed a left-footed shot from about 20 yards out that Jose Corona had to lunge to save. That seemed to wake the Brazilians up, and they turned up the offensive pressure on Mexico for the rest of the half.
Just don't make Hulk angry, Mexico. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
Mexico won the match 2-1.
