Comments/Information: After Doc Samson brought out the Professor personality (although the Professor personality thought it was actually a cured, merging of all personalites instead of a new one), Samson tried to keep the Hulk under observation because he know that the Professor personality would not last forever and Samson had to try to get a final cure. Samson kept on warning the Professor that if he doesn't get held, he could lose control. Apparently the Professor believed it enough to unconsciously form a psychic failsafe whereas if the Savage Hulk was trying to take over, the body would morph to that of Bruce Banner. This was done because the Professor feared the unleashed fury of the Savage Hulk. While this incarnation did not obviously have the strength or healing factor of the Savage Hulk, it did retain the ability to see astral forms. When this incarnation was formed through artifical means and he calmed down, he reverted to Bruce Banner but when the change was mentally produced, he reverted to the Professor when calmed.
