Origin
Dr. Robert Bruce Banner was born to Dr. Brian Banner and his wife Rebecca. Rebecca loved her son very much, but her drunken husband, Brian, was jealous of the attention Rebecca gave to his son. Brian also thought that Bruce wasn't human due to genetic modifications Brian had made to himself. One day Brian killed his wife and was placed in a mental institution. Bruce would grow up hiding all his pain and live with his aunt Mrs. Drake.
Dr. Robert Bruce Banner grew up to be a brilliant scientist and would start working for the US Defense Department, in charge of an experimental gamma bomb.
At a government test facility, Banner risked his life to save a teenager, Rick Jones, who had been dared to sneak onto the facility while a test was being conducted on the gamma bomb. Banner told a colleague named Igor Satrsky to hold the test, but Igor was a soviet agent and did no such thing hoping for Banner's death and the end of his project. During the rescue, Banner's body was irradiated by the gamma blast and combined with his own unique genetics lead to the birth of the Incredible Hulk. Banner became a giant, Grey version of The Hulk ,but only at night (and later became the more common, savage, green Hulk whenever he was angered or agitated). Banner's first adventure was when he was captured by the Russian villain, The Gargoyle, who was informed of Bruce's transformation by Igor(who was stopped by The Hulk and arrested for trying to steal Banner's gamma research). The Gargoyle wanted to know the secret of The Hulk so he could reverse his horrible radiation-damaged face. In return for his help he set Banner and Rick Jones free. Jones would soon become Bruce's sidekick traveling with him and attempting to handle the Hulk's rage. Because of the lack of control over the Hulk, he became a menace and was chased by the military being lead by General Thunderbolt Ross. However, Banner would gain some control over the Hulk with radiation treatments and becoming a founding member of the Avengers. A short time after Bruce/the Hulk had joined the Avengers, he would once again lose control and have to leave the Avengers for a short time. Banner was fortunate to be able to conceal his condition for some time, but that wouldn't last and he soon began to wonder the country as the Hulk and Banner. The Hulk would battle many foes over the years such as The Leader, Abomination, Rhino and The Wendigo.
On a trip to see his cousin and a lawyer in Los Angeles, Jennifer Walter, she was shot by a henchman working for Nicholas Trask for defending a thug of his, Lou Monkton, whom he was framing for murder. All Bruce could do to save his cousin was give her a blood transfusion. Because of this, she was turned into the heroine She-Hulk.
After being captured by Leonard Samson (Doc Samson), the two discovered that the only way to cure Bruce of the Hulk was that the two would have to separate their bodies. They each gained their own body and personalities and the Hulk became an even greater threat without Banner's restraint. Banner would soon create a team called the Hulkbusters to track down and stop the Hulk. Banner soon chose this time to ask Betty Ross to marry him.
During the wedding Banner became sick. It was revealed that the two needed each other or they would die due to losing molecular cohesion. After being weakened by his sickness, The Hulk was captured by the Avengers. Accepting that the only way to stop the Hulk and save her husband, Betty asked the Avengers to spare the Hulk. With some help from The Vision ,the two were joined together again, but the strain allowed the first Grey Hulk to gain control of their body and Rick for a time became a Hulk himself but was soon cured.
This Hulk spent some years in Las Vegas were he acted under the Name of Joe Fixit or Mr. Fixit. This Hulk was a street smart wise-cracking thug. He also started a relationship with Marlo Jones. Fixit was soon thought dead after a Gamma Bomb was detonated over the Hulk by The Leader. However he was actually saved by Jarella and taken to her world to help her and other wizards defeat the Grand Inquisitor. In return, he was given a spell that would allow him to remove Banner.
He became a enforcer for Michael Berengetti at his casino. During this time, Marlo would soon leave him and marry Rick ,and Banner wasn't seen for months. Later, with help from Samson and the Ringmaster's hypnosis, Banner confronted his other sides as well as two other personalities called Guilt Hulk and Devil Hulk, which represented Banner's guilt over his family and Banner's Hatred of the world. However Banner was soon able to gain control and created a merged form. This Hulk was as strong and colored like the Green Hulk during his rage, except the strongest form of the Hulk was the mindless Hulk which was super human class 100 in his calm state verses the new Hulks class 85 in his calm state but had Banner's Intellect and Fixit's street smarts. This Hulk would lead a super heroes team called Pantheon but also on several occasions fight the team strong man named Ajax. Betty also died around this time due to dying from gamma radiation poisoning that resulted from her time with the Hulk and was pushed over the edge by a transfusion from the Abomination as revenge.
However, due to the effects of ALS, Banner once again lost control. Banner setup a "time-share" with the Hulks and was soon cured by the Leader. However the Green Hulk's rage was emerging even in Banner's human form and feared his control. This soon became a forgotten fear as during Onslaught's first attack he asked Jean Grey to release the Savage Hulk's rage to battle Onslaught which caused him to destroy Onslaught's body. Bruce, however, was also one of the heroes that was thought lost after the battle as he was split from the Hulk, and the Hulk was left in a unfeeling cold intelligible version that soon became one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.
However Banner once again gained control after coming forth from his own Hell after gaining self realization. Also, Hulk would team-up with the Defenders as he had done many times to battle Yandroth. They defeated him but he placed a deathbed curse on them so that in times of crisis, they would team-up again.
After M-day Hulk traveled to Alaska. He was found by Nick Fury who wanted his help defeating Godseye, a Hydra space weapon . However the Godseye was actually a rogue SHIELD weapon
Planet Hulk
Recently Hulk was tricked by Nick Fury and the Illuminati into going into space to shut down a rogue Hydra satellite called Godseye , which turned out to be one of SHIELD's own which was going to set off all
