General Robert L. Maverick is a fictional character in Marvel Comics. He is the second character to use the Red Hulk identity.
The character, created by Al Ewing and Gerardo Sandoval, first appeared in Avengers Vol. 6 #0 (December 2015).
In his debut during the Avengers: Standoff! storyline, Robert Maverick oversaw Project: Troubleshooter and saw the transformation of Todd Ziller into American Kaiju. He sends American Kaiju after the Avengers when they illegally break into S.H.I.E.L.D. to rescue Rick Jones, but he was defeated.
After Roberto da Costa defeated Maker, Maverick invites him to join the government, hoping that they could cooperate.
He joins the U.S.Avengers where it's revealed that he has become the new Red Hulk upon being provided with an improved version of the Hulk Plug-In. Unlike the Red Hulk form of Thunderbolt Ross, Robert Maverick maintains his moustache. In the team's first mission against the Secret Empire, Red Hulk was able to level the Secret Empire's volcano island base upon crash-landing onto it.
Robert Maverick is a known military tactician.
Using an improved variation of the Hulk Plug-In, Robert Maverick can transform into a variation of Red Hulk for an hour where he sports super-strength that is supposedly on the same level as Hulk's super-strength.
