Daredevil is about to become the New Hulk
This May, Marvel will celebrate fifty years of its franchise IF…? title – stories that change Marvel history and history in exciting new ways. To celebrate the occasion, ‘Stormbreaker’ singer Netho Diaz answers the question “What if… Daredevil’s Accident Gave Him the Power of the Hulk?” by changing Matt Murdock’s Daredevil in Marvel’s new Hulk.
The resulting alternate cover shows a Hulked-out Matt Murdock, wearing a red suit and pants, running up the side of a New York skyscraper.
Marvel’s ‘Stormbreakers’ are up-and-coming artists hand-picked by Marvel, and the publisher offers projects designed to give these new artists exposure – often in different ways.

Diaz’s cover thinks the canister was full of gamma rays, turning Matt Murdock into the Hulk instead of Bruce Banner. The cover will appear on June 10’s special pages Daredevil #3from Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett.
This cover is one of several that Marvel is releasing to mark the event If…?Anniversary, and while there’s only cover art so far, Marvel is getting into the habit of trying out new ideas like different covers before investing in them. The latest batch of Young Warriors was revealed as different outfits, as well as the latest costume of Captain Marvel and character Gwenpool.
