Only Bill Bixby in the TV show was David Banner. I actually have no idea why. Maybe Aaron Spelling (or Glen A Larson or whoever) thought Bruce was more a villainous name or something.
I was wondering that too. Maybe it's one of those bits of history that somehow gets distorted? I don't know. I've read a fair amount about FDR. Never heard of him "maybe" having polio.
Please accept Yakusa. It's just as good a transliteration from the Japanese. As a Brit (and therefore frugal in my use of zeds, or zees as I believe they are called in some more ignorant offshoots of the empire) I couldn't figure out why Yakusa wasn't accepted
Is the Hulk called Bruce Banner in the new Avengers movies?
I don't think I've ever heard the name before. I was surprised 75% of people knew it. I don't know much pop culture, but know of Dr Octopus, Alfred Pennyworth, Charles Xavier, etc. - Banner doesn't even ring a bell. Maybe The Hulk didn't have much mainstream success.
Not the same imaginary (or is it?) creature. Bigfoot and Sasquatch both refer to a forest living, brown haired one, whereas Yeti/Abominable Snowman lives in snowy mountains and is white haired.
