Jason Kottke posts some excerpts from Twitter feeds written as if they were by the Incredible Hulk, (or at least people who talk like him):
FEMINIST HULK: "TRICK TO SMASHING GENDER BINARY: MAKE SURE IT NOT SIMPLY BREAK INTO TWO NORMATIVE PIECES. HULK CREATE GENDERQUEER DEBRIS!"

BARTENDER HULK: "WHY YOU THINK HULK TAKING YOUR ORDER?? IS IT CUZ HULK NOT FACING YOU? OR CUZ HULK TALKING TO SOMEONE ELSE? OR CUZ HULK MAKING OTHER DRINK??"

Editor Hulk: "HULK LIKE OXFORD COMMA VERY MUCH. HULK WANT TO DATE, BUT OXFORD COMMA ONLY GO OUT IN GROUPS OF THREE OR MORE."

GRAMMAR HULK: "HULK GET INVITATION THAT SAY 'PLEASE RSVP BY RESPONDING.' HULK'S RAGE MITIGATED BY OPPORTUNITY TO WEAR TINY PURPLE TUXEDO PANTS!"
(Yes, I'm awake at 4:30AM. I'm waiting for the T to start running again so I can retrieve my car. Boring story.)

Methinks Editor Hulk and Grammar Hulk are overlapping a bit.

It's true. EditorHulk even made reference to that a while back: "FOR RECORD, @EDITORHULK AND @GRAMMARHULK JUST GOOD FRIENDS. GENDERFREE AND GRAMMAR - WHAT NOT TO LOVE?"

Well I'll just view them as very close allies then :)

OTHER HULKS NOT ACKNOWLEDGE FATAL RELIANCE ON DOOMED PATRIARCHY.
FEMINIST HULK SMASH THEM!

Amazing, no?

I think Hulk-speak is particularly suited to Twitter.
