Hulk vs the U.S. Army. Stan Lee had to maintain a careful balance: the Comics Code Authority prohibited portraying "policemen, judges, government officials and respected institutions" in a disrespectful manner. On the other hand, characters like Spider-Man and the Hulk were hounded by the police, the army, and the press, which essentially made the establishment the enemy.
