Since we have some comic fans...
Today marks the end of Amazing Spiderman at issue #700! This year was Spiderman's 50th Anniversary year. This is a huge thing in the comic world- the end of Mr. Stan Lee's 50 year long master creation.
A new Spiderman in "Superior Spiderman" is supposed to debut on Marvel's new MARVEL NOW comic line. However, rumored is that this is a completely new Spiderman. Peter Parker is supposedly no longer Spiderman in the comics! This means that Parker will no longer be showing up in comics since he was already killed off in the ULTIMATE MARVEL universe.
I haven't read issue #700 yet so I am not sure as to how or why there is going to be a change. Regardless this is huge in the world of comics and pop-culture.

there are some pretty good titles out right now though.
There were (are?) two Spider-men. In the MARVEL series it is (was?) Peter Parker. That only changed briefly in the 90s during the whole "Clone Saga" shenanigan when Ben Reilly, the Scarlet Spider, became the new Spider-man. Parker came back shortly after though, and remained Spiderman until today.
Now, the ULTIMATE MARVEL universe. The whole idea of the ULTIMATE thing was to reboot the series for new, up and coming readers in the 2000s. Once again, Peter Parker was Spiderman, but he was younger. A LOT of plot points were altered and changed. Then a short while ago (parially to appeal to a shifting demographic I'm sure) they killed off Parker in the ULTIMATE universe and replaced him with Miles Morales (they placed a lot of emphasis on the fact that he was half black/half mexican).
And now in the new MARVEL NOW universe (which is the new cannon comic-line after the Avengers vs Xmen incident took place) there is a new Spiderman appearing.
EDIT: I guess there are two others but they are fairly non-cannon. One is Miguel Ohara from Marvel's 2099 series. The Spiderman 2099 from the future.
and the other from the MARVEL NOIR line. Still Peter Parker, but the story takes place in the 1920s and is reminiscent of 20's mob/detective kinda things and noir entertainment elements.
As for Hulk. General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross is the Red Hulk, not Bruce Banner. Thunderbolt Ross was actually a villain in Hulk, and he transformed himself into a Hulk to better and kill the original Hulk. Ross could control the Hulk unlike Banner, and didn't allow himself to be controlled by emotion, and allow himself to become stupid. Thus, he was a better fighter, and tactician. Hulk was basically becoming a liability anyway, and all of the current heroes were sick of dealing with him, so they accepted the Red Hulk with open arms, and even replaced the original with him in The Avengers.
but yea, shit's confusing and unnecessary at times lol.
