Hulk perhaps has delightful woman round (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

superhero

'hulk perhaps' is the definition.
(Hulk is an example)

'delightful woman round' is the wordplay.
'delightful' becomes 'super' (I've seen this before).
'woman' becomes 'her' (her refers to a woman).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'super'+'her'+'o'='SUPERHERO'

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for superhero that I've seen before include "people didn't notice in Kent, for one" , "Fantastic character" , "Fictional character with special powers" , "Spiderman, for example" , "Batman perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Times and The Guardian.
