As you already know, Marvel.com is your go-to guide for all things Marvel. But, the Internet is vast and if you want to get really character-specific, then we know a fair number of excellent fan sites out there.

For example, are you jonesin' for Hulk info in anticipation for 2008's "Incredible Hulk" movie? Need to know exactly how much he can lift or precisely how high he can leap? May we suggest incrediblehulkonline.com?

The site's owner and operator—and lifelong Hulk fan—Stephen Yarish, is widely regarded as the foremost aficionado of the Jade Giant. "I was five years old and bought my very first comic book at a neighbor's garage sale," says Yarish. "It was INCREDIBLE HULK #170, a great issue!"

As may be the dream of any super-fan, Yarish has even appeared as a character in the Hulk comics on more than one occasion.

The site has provided hadcore fans with everything regarding the Green Goliath, from news to history, since 1997. "I knew there were a lot of Hulk fans out there and I wanted to share my passion for everything Hulk related," he says. To that end, Yarish's site has in-depth bios of Bruce Banner, from his time before becoming Hulk and throughout his many incarnations, as well as Big Green's many, MANY allies and enemies. Possibly the coolest parts of the site are the huge galleries of merchandise photos, sketches and comic book art spread across the site. "I have one of the largest collections of Hulk memorabilia," Yarish boasts—and rightfully so.
