hulked

Towered over menacingly

Hulked describes something massive, bulky, or looming like a hulk—the shell of a ship or any large, unwieldy structure.

A building might have hulked over a neighborhood, or an abandoned vehicle hulked in a field.

The word conveys imposing size with a sense of heaviness or menace: The old factory hulked against the skyline.

In comic book contexts, to have hulked out is to have transformed into something larger and more powerful, after the character.
