I recently watched Glen Tickle's "Good Grief: ..." (a comedy-special on Amazon Prime).

I explain why I call him "Hulk" in the discussion linked through #Indefatigable below; but to describe him that way ... I mostly chose that word for its similarity to #Incredible (the original #Hulk's title), but I feel it's more important to understand 'the word I used' better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Indefatigable” is built on ancient words that mean "Not (In-) + Down, Away (De-) + |Tire, Weary (Fatigue)." #Defatigable (probably just a back-formation) #Indefatigability

So I'm not saying that Mr. T. "has an unlimited supply of energy," but more like 'you can't bring him down!' (he's UNBREAKABLE like "Kimmy Schmidt!' ... or like that guy in that Bruce Willis/Samuel L. Jackson movie (also starring Princess Buttercup) from M. Night Shyamalan)
The word "Hulk" is built on ancient words that mean Pull, Draw, Drag (|Huge, |Wrecked Ship that is |Towed; applied to Big, |Unwieldy, |Clumsy, Lazy people as early as 15th Century Stephen le #Hulke (nickname of 'one who |Tows |Derelict |Vessels' ... #Hulks & #Hulkes meaning 'Son of Hulk-or-Hulke'); #TheHulks were old ships used as Prisons (in "Great Expectations") 
('Hulk' was also used as a verb meaning "to |Rise |Massively"---which was probably where MARVEL got the name for the character (originally given because of its similarity to "The Heap" (another comic-book character similar to Fantastic Four's The Thing and -to Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde), it's what fictional military-personnel called the creature that 'rose massively' whenever Mr. Banner got hurt).) #Hulked #Hulking 
The word "Incredible" is built on ancient words that mean Not (In-) + "Worthy of Belief (Credible)" ('Unworthy of Belief' may not be the best definition for it (what-with Christiana 'believing' things that are definitely 'Incredible'), but maybe 'Beyond our Comprehension' would be a better phrase---i.e. we "Believe" it, but we'll never truly "Understand" it). #Incredibly

And--searching to see if there were any definite answers to that question--I 'fell down a Rabbit-Hole of Hulk':
