his Earth-616 counterpart had.

History: (Woolworth's 1968 Halloween costume
advertisement) - Hulk emerged from a giant television-shaped pumpkin
alongside numerous other heroes including Mr. Fantastic, as Spiderman
watched from afar.
(Ben
Cooper 1968 catalog) - Having emerged from the giant television-shaped
pumpkin, the Hulk appeared alongside the Thing, Capt. America and a
slew of other heroes.
(Ben
Cooper 1976 catalog) - Hulk, now sporting a sleeveless costume, joined
Spiderman and others, crouching down in an angry pose.
(1970s Ben Cooper comic book advertisement) - Hulk teamed with Captain America and Spiderman for a Halloween night of trick-or-treating.
(1970s Ben Cooper comic book advertisement) - Hulk ran alongside Spiderman, each carrying a bag of candy.
(Ben
Cooper 1980 catalog) - Hulk appeared alongside other "tv super heroes"
and later joined Spiderman and Spider-Woman alongside other heroes,
where he briefly switched from a sleeveless costume to first, a sleeved
costume with a picture of his bare chest on it, then a poncho with a
masked hood.
Comments: Created by an uncredited writer and artist.
I could not determine when exactly the actual real
life Halloween costume first appeared on store shelves but it was
definitely at some point in the 1960s, likely just prior to the first
advertisement featuring Hulk.
It was not clear if the Hulk had any superhuman powers and if he did, it was not revealed how he obtained them.
If
not clear, this version of Hulk was based on the Ben Cooper, Inc.'s
real-life Halloween costume and covers all of the Ben Cooper Hulk's
printed appearances that I'm aware of. I'm sure there's many more out
there in old newspapers or long-since-forgotten Ben Cooper catalogs so
if you see another appearance, let me know and I will update this
profile accordingly! I've included an image of the real Halloween
costume for comparison to the printed version. When exactly the
real-life
Also, the "misspellings" in Hulk's affiliations and
enemies ("Darth Vadar" and "Yado," for example) are spelled exactly as
they appeared in the Ben Cooper catalogs, suggesting that on
Earth-313710, that is how these characters spelled their names.
