Let's take a step into the Way back Machine, back to the 70's. Iron Fist hasn't been forced through a wall yet, Luke Cage is still always angry, and the two have never met yet.
Let's see how Power Man goes when he fights Defenders!

The drama is not the selling point and the Hulk is very emotional but 9 times out of 10 will not flake on his boys or have any fuss about it like you would with Hulk appearing as a guest spot in any other book, it's just some banter.

>Dirk Garthwaite first appears in the title Thor, and is depicted as a former manual laborer in a demolitions crew who is fired for his violent and anti-social tendencies. Garthwaite creates a costume for himself and adopting the alias the Wrecker, commits a series of robberies, demolishing looted locations and leaving a crowbar at the scene of the crime. The Wrecker enters a hotel room that, unknown to him, is occupied by Asgardian god Loki, the adopted brother and arch-foe of the Thunder god Thor. He knocks the depowered Loki out and puts on his helmet. The Wrecker accidentally receives an enchantment - meant for Loki - from Loki's ally, Norn Queen Karnilla, and courtesy of his now indestructible crowbar is granted superhuman strength and stamina.

what an amazing origin

I think "Jabroni" means asshole, jerk, punk, tool, douchebag, fuckhead, idiot, dolt, bonehead, schmuck, loser, dimwit, chump, etc.

Jabroni is derived from "Jobber". Popularized by Dwayne, "the rock" johnson.

A jobber, in professional wrestling kayfabe parlance means a person who's job it is to lose to make the more important wrestlers and stars look good.
