[post_page_title]The Avengers-Riverdale crossover literally no one asked for[/post_page_title]
Avengers: Age of Ultron, besides giving us probably the most underwhelming Marvel villain (and that’s saying something), also debuted the iconic Hulkbuster armor, meant to help stop a rampaging Hulk. Early in the movie, Tony talks to Bruce about him constantly needing “Veronica” to look over his shoulder – which we later discover is code for the aforementioned armor.
Why Veronica, though? Well, as writer-director Joss Whedon revealed, and Mark Ruffalo claimed to have suspected, it’s an Archie Comics reference. Hulk already had a Betty to calm him down – meaning Betty Ross, his The Incredible Hulk love interest. So why not a Veronica, Betty’s polar opposite?
