Amadeus Cho

Amadeus Cho is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by American writer Greg Pak and Canadian artist Takeshi Miyazawa, the character first appeared in Amazing Fantasy vol. 2 #15 (January 2005). Cho usually appears in books featuring the Avengers or individual members of that group, such as the Hulk or Hercules.

A 19-year-old Korean American genius and one of the smartest people on Earth, Cho becomes the Totally Awesome Hulk in The Totally Awesome Hulk #1 (2015). In contrast with Bruce Banner, who found his Hulk powers to be a burden, Cho is a confident character who revels in his newfound abilities. And much like Banner's cousin Jen Walters/She-Hulk, Cho largely retains his normal personality, in particular the majority of his intelligence and emotional control. After nearly being overwhelmed by his Hulk persona, Cho regains control over his body and assumes a new transformation known as Brawn.

Amadeus Cho was created by Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa, and first appeared in 2005 in Amazing Fantasy (volume 2) #15. Pak brought Cho back as a major character in the World War Hulk storyline, and then as one of the primary characters in The Incredible Hercules. He subsequently starred in his own miniseries, Heroic Age: Prince of Power.

In December 2015, as part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel event, Cho began headlining the new series The Totally Awesome Hulk, written by Pak and drawn by Frank Cho.

In May 2025, Cho's 20th anniversary was commemorated in the one-shot Amadeus Cho 20th Anniversary Special #1. The anniversary special was written and illustrated by Cho's co-creators Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa, respectively, with Creees Lee and Jethro Morales joining for additional art.

In March 2025, it was announced that Cho would be a main character in the upcoming June 2025 limited series Imperial, written by Jonathan Hickman and drawn by artists Federico Vicentini and Iban Coello.

Amadeus Cho is a Korean American named after his parents' love for Mozart's music and Methodist beliefs. His story begins when he wins the Excello Soap Company's "Brain Soap" competition, making him the seventh-smartest person in the world. Pythagoras Dupree, the game's creator and the world's sixth smartest man, tries to kill Amadeus to preserve his ranking. In a botched attempt, Amadeus' parents and twin sister Maddy are killed, but he survives and goes on the run with a Vespa scooter and a coyote pup. When the Hulk later saves him from some of Dupree's men, Amadeus considers the Hulk a friend and a hero worthy of respect.

Amadeus is next seen in the crossover event World War Hulk, where he encounters a de-powered Jen Walters. He then gathers Hulk's former colleagues, Hercules and Archangel, both of whom considered themselves in debt to the Hulk for mistakenly attacking him on a previous occasion. With the assistance of Namora, they attempt and fail to stop the Hulk.
