hulk out
Transform through fury
To hulk out is to become extremely angry and lose control, like the comic book character who transforms into a raging green monster.
The phrase suggests a visible physical shift—tensed muscles, reddened face, aggressive posture: Don't hulk out on me, I was just asking.
It can also mean to bulk up dramatically through exercise: He really hulked out over the summer.
