Bruce listened to her describe the Kindred, and that was interesting, and semi-similar to his situation. He was the only one of his kind (thank God), so to think there was a whole group of super powerful people with the same struggle, he could see why things might have gone sideways in her world. "So they removed both of our Beasts, but left us otherwise the same. Although I don't ...." He paused. "I haven't even checked. It's possible my blood is still radioactive, it's only the Hulk isn't able to come out." He would need blood samples and a microscope. He wouldn't be able to tell, his body had been one way too long, so only a test would do that.

"It makes sense. They don't want us to be too powerful. If our Beasts could handle things thrown our way easily, it's not exactly a very good experiment." It would be better to essentially defang them. "Everyone else has lost their powers the same way, but for us it's removing a living entity that used to share our body." So it wasn't the same as simply losing powers, whether you were born with them or not. This would take a more precise touch, and a more precise choice. Unless he was overthinking it, which was always, always possible.

"I'm not sure how we would ask anyone that."
