A bit of a tough call because I like Hulk a lot. Plus I have most of the key parts of the synergies that give him stun duration and fury.
But...he’s just not close enough to the top tier of his class. Rhulk, Void, CapIW, SpiderGwen, SheHulk all outshine him. Probably Wasp too, especially if you can play low/no-contact.
I voted no, but honestly, I think it depends on your current roster, and what you're currently working on.
With Hulk being an XL size champ, he can be very useful for Variant 2. There's also a line in one of the Act 6 chapters where he'll be useful. I took mine to R4, but only after I got a 2015 science 3>4 gem from one of the Variant 2 chapter explorations.
I definitely wouldn't use an awakening gem on him under any circumstances, and honestly, unless your 4/55 and higher roster is pretty good already, I'm not so sure I'd invest t2a (which are still fairly hard to come by), in OG Hulk. He has niche uses where he's very handy, but not nearly good enough to get you through the majority of content.
Unduped OG Hulk was my first r4 5*, at this point he is duped but still under preforming compaired to my other r4s. Mostly just AW defense at this point

So...sadly, no gem and probably no R4.

Good luck with whatever you choose though.
