      I said this last time someone mentioned the helicopter coming back. Hunk is basically a living legend among his peers as basically the unkillable. Even if you aren't superstitious I can't imagine the visceral damage to your reputation and ability to function with another squadron if everyone knows you as the guy that got even the reaper killed on a mission

    Hunk is NOT an acronym. The Japanese developers who made the character misspelled HANK and called him HUNK. The acronym Human Unit Never Killed came from a non-canon fan film that also has him as an Asian man. Hunk is a white man as seen on one of the Epilogues in the Original Resident Evil 3. Just wanted to clear that up. ✌️

    I like to think that Hunk just had an excellent set of skills that edged out his teammates....and after several missions where he was the only one to survive, the general thought among the Umbrella Board was "Okay, surround him with meat shields so that he can survive just long enough to escape. We save money on all the other mercenaries, we pay him well enough to do this suicidal job, and we can trust him to succeed 99 out of 100 times." And then they made a sentient block of Tofu to be even more cost effective.

      @@tavish4699 In the original re 2 the cutscenes that showed how the outbreak started showed a total of 4 USS operatives, 2 in the sewers, and 2 (including HUNK) in the labs.
      After the latter 2 retrieve the samples (and shoot Birkin in the process) they headed to the sewers to regroup with the other 2.
      Then came a g-virus fueled Birkin for round two, with HUNK and the other operative from the lab (I don’t know if he was named in the original) are taken down first, and then the other 2 are taken down after they run into Birkin while trying to reach their teammates.
      However this is in the original game’s cutscene and the events were already retconned in the remake as we see all 4 together when they confront Birkin. And while we aren’t shown proof, it is possible that there were more USS operative assigned to the mission.

    My theory: HUNK isn't that young anymore when he signed up for the Rockford Training Program.
    He got into Rockford in 96, while the Raccoon Incident happened in 98. The Epilogue in Resident Evil 3 shows us his hair (albeit a bit blurry) starting to whiten up. Also, in Resident Evil Outbreak, there is an option to show HUNK without gasmask. He look more like Nikolai.
    Taking from that, lets say Nikolai's age is the same as HUNK, that mean HUNK would be 35 y.o. by the time Racoon City happen.
    When he got into Rockford he would be 33. His father could have been a Veteran of Vietnam War, could also be a Spec Ops in said war. Got back, trained Little Hunk. When Hunk all grow up, Hunk Enlisted. 15 Years of military experience, not to mention he could also be a Spec Ops, is all the good reason Hunk seems so "Stubborn to die". Could Also be a CIA Operatives, because by the time he's 18, proper age to Enlist, Cold War was still at its late stage.
    The CIA Operative made a lot more sense to me because of the "Mysterious" background, he basically pop out of thin air back in 96. Went in and become the best. For what?
    By the time of RE 4, I believe he is already chilling somewhere, retiring with the fat check umbrella gave him when he brought back the G Virus sample. Dropping his spy business aside... Or he could be in Spain... Spying on other weird Corporation like Umbrella... We can never know.

      ABC is the acronym we were thought in vehicle operations. Asset is first (YOU are the asset) Buddy comes second and Civvies comes last, the first two dying will get everyone killed (specially if you die first, now they are scrambling to get everyone to safety while finding a new driver)

    I think one point that can be made, though, was the scene in the RE2 remake with the helmet cam footage.
    This scene demonstrates HUNK's primary focus on his mission objective over his squadmates as he knows that team deaths are acceptable to the company, failure is not. Martinez did not panic there, he is doing what every soldier/officer is trained to do. When someone makes a fast movement at you, you fire first before they even have a chance, and in this case, it was 100% justified as Dr.Birkin had a gun.

    Hunk is the nickname of one Hunkie Hunkerson a guy from Los Angeles, North Dakota. He was the son of Billionaire Hunker Hunkalota Hunkerson who owned the popular chain of restaurants known as GET HUNKED, (great Onion Rings) as well as being the Porn King of the entire Western Hemisphere. After college, where he played Football. At his Alma Mater they played an 10:1 Defense (10 down lineman, Hunk handling LB, CB and S duties) Their team was undefeated the entire time Hunkie was there. This was about the time of 9/11 so Hunkie joined the military. First soldier to be a member of every section of JSOC (Navy Seal, Delta Force, etc). They put him on all the most deadly missions and he would always complete them. They stopped sending a team with him because he would always sacrifice them to complete the mission. One such mission had him take his own team member and use him as a human shield as he engaged the enemy. Hunkie would then be recruited by Umbrella where he became something of a legend among the female employees. Hunkie would then partner up with Agent Tofu who gave him the moniker Hunk. They didn't trust each other at first but when Tofu used Hunk as a human shield on a mission, they are now the best of friends. The rest is as they say History.....

My own headcannon says that og hunk died in the sewers and billy on the run was already down there, maybe looking for the lab or just hiding out from the outbreak on the streets. He realized that these masked soldiers could provide a good disguise to escape and using his military and bioweapon experience was able to carry out hunks mission and either Umbrella never found out, or didn't care because he finished the mission for them. Could explain how he leveraged that into the bioweapons defense company he would go on to create
