Hulk

Origin of The Incredible Hulk

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 Bruce Banner A.K.A Hulk

It all started when Rick Jones had taken a dare from some friends and driven into an off-limits atomic testing range. Seconds before a powerful Gamma-Ray Bomb was due to be detonated, Doctor Bruce Banner sighted the boy, from his vantage point in a shielded bunker. Unmindful of his own safety, the world-famous nuclear scientist Banner told a colleague named Igor Starsky (real name Igor Drenkov) 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. Dr. Banner then dashed to the teenager and sped with him towards a nearby trench. Frantically Dr. Banner hurled Rick Jones into the crevice where the teenager was shielded from the mysterious menacing Gamma Rays. But, at that  very second, standing in the open, exposed and unsheltered, the heroic Bruce Banner absorbed the full impact of the nuclear explosion, even though the center of the blast was a good five miles away. His ear-piercing screams filled the desert air, as the scientist lost all sense of time and space. As a strange, awesome change took place in the atomic structure of his body. A short time later, Dr. Banner regained consciousness in a room at the base hospital, with Rick Jones standing boy. Rick Jones swore never to leave Dr. Banner again.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. As the sun set, the Geiger counter on a nearby table began to tick louder and louder until Bruce Banner had turned into the most dangerous living creature on earth, the Incredible Hulk.

The Mighty Joe Fixit

Hulk in Vegas

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 became a enforcer for Michael Berengetti at his casino but it was made difficult by his daytime transformation back to Banner. He also started a relationship with Marlo Jones. Marlo would soon leave him begin dating Rick ,and Banner wasn't seen for months. Under another identity Bruce gets a job as a janitor at the Yucca Flats Nuclear Research Center so that he can still look for a cure for the Hulk. He is poisoned by Mad man just moments before the Research Center is attacked by the Abomination and Hulk is shocked when he realizes that his healing factor isn't strong enough to fight off the poison. He throws Abomination into a barrel of toxic waste and he is permanently scars him. The Leader offers his assistance in finding an antidote if he promises to kill his brother Madman. 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 sometimes referred to as the Professor. 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. The drawback to this version of the Hulk is that when he gets to angry and loses control he reverts back to the body of Bruce Banner with the intelligence of the savage Hulk. 

Joining the Pantheon

This Hulk would join and eventually lead a super heroes team called Pantheon but also on several occasions fight the team strong man named Ajax. As a favor to their friend Jim Wilson, Hulk and Rick agree to help out at an AIDS benefit concert with Rick headlining and Hulk providing security. The concert was disrupted by the drug-addicted assassin Speedfreek who was sent to kill one of the concert's attendees, Jim was stabbed defending the man and the Hulk got rid of Speedfreek before he could kill anybody. When Hulk and Rick returned to the Pantheon they were sent to the Florida Everglades to investigate the dissapearance of two teens that may have been tied to a missing Pantheon scientist. While there they battled both the Man-Thing and the missing scientist who had transformed himself into the Glob, he was killed by the touch of the Man-Thing when he burst into flame. During one of his missions with them he fights alongside a rebel force in a Trans-Sabal against both S.H.I.E.L.D. issue Mandroids and the new government super team X-Factor. The country was being ruled by Farnoq Dahn ,a dictator who had promised the US government energy assistance if they helped him keep his place as unchallenged ruler. He was exposed as a psycho when he tried to win the war by tying a mother and child to two separate missiles and threatened to launch them if the Pantheon didn't stop, he was stopped by Hulk and X-Factor. The tyrant was forced to face his people for the crimes he committed but most of them still saw him as a god and bowed at his feet, he was then shot and killed by a traumatized Rick Jones who had taken a Mandroid suit.

The Hulk used his Pantheon resources to confront Igor, his former assistant who let the gamma bomb go off that created the Hulk. Igor had been driven insane by nightmares brought on by his decision to let the bomb detonate. On her way back from a mission, one of the Pantheon, Atalanta, was shot down in the Himalayas by the Troyjan warrior Trauma and Hulk, Ulysses, and Hector were sent to find her. Hulk finds Trauma's ship, he is ambushed and left for dead. Trauma finds Atlanta and confesses his love to her then the Hulk shows up and brings down an avalanche on top of him. When Hulk's old boss Michael Berengetti is killed, Hulk teams up with the Punisher to get revenge on his killer and his super powered enforcer Frost.

The End of the Great Leader?

During this time Marlo was killed by a woman posing as Rick's mother. But because of the extreme emotional pain that Rick was feeling the Leader also felt it because of their mental bond and it was causing an extreme annoyance, so he offered to bring her back to life. Leader attacks the Pantheon's headquarters, The Mount, using both his gamma soldiers and the U-Foes to distract the Hulk so that he could ask Agamemnon for help against Hydra. Agamemnon agrees to help and the Hulk leaves in anger, Betty goes to find him and they finally begin to reconnect. But Agamemnon betrays the Leader by sending the Hulk to Freehold in order to kill him. The Hulk crashes into Freehold during the middle of the Hydra invasion and when Leader is trying to resurrect Marlo. Overcome with anger Hulk ignores Rick's plees to stop, he destroys the machine because he thinks that Leader is lying and taking advantage of his grieving friend. The Leader was seemingly killed in the battle between himself and the Hulk, it was during this battle that Hulk knocks the helmet off of Redeemer, sees the resurrected General Ross, and realizes his mistake.

Leading the Pantheon

Agamemnon feels that it is time to venture out into the world to reconnect with the common people and he appoints Hulk as his replacement. On his first mission as leader he travels to the Amazon to investigate a new company that was cutting down the rain forest and he is jumped by the Juggernaut who is working as the enforcer for the New World Order(NWO) and their leader the Red Skull. He is captured and brainwashed into believing that the Juggernaut is his abusive father and he is forced to fight the Avengers. Hulk is able to shake off the mind control when the Juggernaut praises him and he realizes that his father would never show him any kindness. The psychic backlash releases the creature Piecemeal from his holding container. At this time the Hulk began showing signs of instability when he stopped referring to himself as Bruce and started using Hulk. As a favor to a former Pantheon member Perseus Hulk travels to Lock Ness to investigate reports of a monster in the lake. The monster turns out to be Piecemeal, the Hulk is about to defeat him when Madman interferes. After Perseus is killed, Hulk kills Piecemeal and appears to kill Madman but no body is found. Using his new power as leader of the Pantheon, Hulk leads a strike against a maximum security prison to free an ex girlfriend who had been falsely imprisoned.

Rick begins to call all of his friends to tell them that he and Marlo are getting married but they are all giving him the cold shoulder because of how the Hulk has been acting lately. She-Hulk hears the news and comes to visit and congratulate the happy couple. When the Hulk goes to the airport to pick her up she voices her concern over his change in behavior and he said "it would be a shame if we became enemies". Atalanta is kidnapped by Trauma to be his bride and the Pantheon set out to get her back. Atalanta manages to damage their engines and they manage to catch up to the space ship, Hector Cassiopea, Ulysses, and Hulk are sent out to confront the Troyjans. All of them except the Hulk are able to get inside the ship but the Hulk remains outside to fight Trauma, back on the Pantheon ship Prometheus sees that he is in trouble and tries to help but he is knocked unconscious by Achilles who still holds a grudge against Hulk for nearly causing his death. The Troyjan ship repairs its engines and jumps into warp speed with Hulk still on the outside and it nearly kills him, but he is luckily picked up by the Silver Surfer and the Starjammers. With their help he attacks the Troyjan home world to free his captured comrades, upon arriving they are all shocked when the Troyjan leader, Lord Armageddon, tells them the truth about Agamemnon. Agamemnon was actually a teenager who gained immortality centuries earlier by offering any of his offspring to the Troyjans, and if they try to take Atalana back then they will take back the extended lives of all of the Pantheon. Hulk doesn't care about the deal and attacks Trauma, he accidentally impales Trauma on his own shoulder spike. With his last words, Trauma pardons the Pantheon and asks his father to let them all leave in peace.

Future Of The ImPerfect

The Maestro

Fall of the Pantheon

Soon after this Rick and Marlo were married, at the wedding Betty tells Hulk that she wants to move into the Mount to be with him. After the wedding Hulk is attacked by the disgraced Skrull warrior Talos the Tamed, in an effort to gain back some honor Talos wants to be killed by earth's strongest warrior. Hulk refuses to fight because of how well his relationship with Betty is going and he doesn't want to risk losing his temper again. Hulk receive news that his old partner Jim Wilson was at an AIDS protest that was getting out of control, he takes him back to the Mount to give him treatment but despite the advanced technology he still dies. After the Hulk found out the truth about the leader of the Pantheon, Agamemnon, he and the rest of the Pantheon set out to find him to make him stand trial. Ulysses spots Agamemnon at Fenway Park on the run from Jason the Renegade. In order to escape his fate, Agamemnon flees to Asgard which is currently being inhabited by an alternate Thor named Red Norvell. Agamemnon seeks refuge with the Frost Giants but Hulk retrieves him and he has to face the Pantheon.

While on trial he reveals that everything the Troyjans said was true, and Jason reveals that Achilles was the one who killed the original Ulysses. Agamemnon resurrects all of the dead Pantheon warriors to kill everyone in the Mount and he tells the Hulk that the only way to stop them is to kill him. Achilles breaks Agamemnon out of his holding cell and demands that he makes him more powerful. Agamemnon  runs away and tries to escape but is killed by Atalanta which brought an end to the undead warriors. Achilles tries killing Ulysses but the bullet ricochets and hits Betty and it causes Hulk to gets so angry that he reverts back to Bruce Banner's body with Hulk's brain. Even in his human form he gives off enough gamma radiation to make Achilles vulnerable and Ulysses kills him. The Pantheon flee their former base and the still mindless Bruce is taken into custody and temporarily placed in the care of Doc Samson while Betty is being treated for the bullet wound. Nick Fury shows up and tells Samson that Bruce is being taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. because he is a fugitive. During Bruce's transport Betty dies and her soul is given the chance to go to heaven, first she wants to visit Bruce to see if he still loves her. He calms down when he sees her and is able to transform and escape. After seeing how important she is to him Betty decides to live and returns to her body. Hulk visits the destroyed Mount and sees a hologram set up by Paris telling him that he is now the leader of the Pantheon and that Hulk is fired.

Life on the Run

Now living under the last name Danner, Hulk and Betty moved to a small town in Florida. To hide his green skin, Hulk wore bandages all over his body and claimed to be a burn victim. Soon after their move a child was killed by a gigantic shadowy figure, because of the Hulk's size he was suspected of the crime by police chief Largo. Upon investigation Hulk found out that the true killer was a deranged old man living in the everglades with the Man-Thing, he rescues a child from the old man and he tells Largo what happened. A few days later Hulk and Betty see a young homeless girl going through their neighbors garbage, their neighbor comes outside and chases her into the street where Hulk saves her from being hit by a car. They offer her their help, she tells them that she is pregnant and she asks them to take her to a clinic. While waiting for the doctor she talks to Betty about whether or not she should abort the baby and the clinic is attacked by protesters. Betty tries to escape with the girl and she is shot. Later that night back at their home the father of the girl shows up and offers Hulk money to kill his daughter's murderer, Hulk refuses but offers his help in bringing the killer to justice. They find out that it was just a kid who accidentally shot her when someone pushed him. The man reveals that he is actually Speedfreek and tries to kill the kid. Hulk tries to stop him but has his intestines cut out of his body and Speedfreek goes after the fleeing child. Hulk catches up to him and hurls a car battery at him, rather than dodging it Speedfreek cuts through it and is covered in battery acid burning most of the skin off his face and causing him to flee.

While watching the news Hulk saw that the Abomination was fighting cops in the sewers of New York and decided that it was his problem. The homeless were being cleared out because the police commissioner was working for a drug lord that needed the sewers for new drug routes. He traveled to New York and went down into the sewers with the cops to confront him. While Hulk and Abomination were fighting, the cops used the opportunity to clear out the homeless by killing almost all of them. Abomination saw this and snapped, he started killing all of the cops then took his battle with the Hulk to the surface. They crash through the Daily Bugle before the Abomination jumped onto a news copter and crashed it, he used the opportunity to escape while Hulk was distracted.

Brain Damage

One day while the Hulk was at work the army showed up at his house and captured Betty, the squad is led by Glenn Talbot's nephew Matt. He blamed Betty and Hulk for his uncle's downfall and he wanted revenge against them. Hulk saw this on TV at work and was about to go to fight them but his boss talked him out of it by telling him that it was an obvious trap. In order to draw out the Hulk he took Betty outside in front of the reporters and shot her in the leg, Hulk saw this and went ballistic. He jumped to his house and destroyed all of the Hulkbusters then started heading towards Talbot, Talbot then shot her other leg to push Hulk over the edge so he would revert back to his Banner form and took him into custody and waited for the order to kill him. Betty was taken from the hospital by Chief Largo and his team of super powered androids, they told her that they will free Bruce if he will help them get revenge on the Leader and she agrees without telling them that the Leader is already dead. During the jailbreak Bruce, still with the mind of the Hulk, ran towards a grenade and nearly died when it went off. He was able to transform into the Hulk before he died but shrapnel is left in his brain extremely hindering his intelligence. Seeking help he traveled to Freehold to seek the devices of the Leader to remove the shrapnel. With the Leader dead, the hidden arctic sanctuary Freehold was placed in the care of Omnibus. He believed that there would eventually be a nuclear war that killed everyone on earth so he decided to speed it up by ordering terrorist attacks across the world to cause strain on global relations. He also mentally controlled many high ranking government officials including Talbot which explained his insane behavior.  Jailbait overheard Omnibus's plan and exposed him to the people of Freehold and he was sentenced to death. Hulk decided that the best way to save the world would be to pose as Maestro and claim to be the man behind the terrorist attacks. A psychotic Thor was sent to defeat him, it was a close battle until an atom bomb was dropped on top of them and the Hulk was believed dead by most of the world but he actually used a hidden Pantheon base to survive.

Omnibus

Traveling through Alaska, Hulk ran into a fleeing Janis. She had traveled back in time to escape from an alien hunter who was trying to kill her. Upon arrival in the present she was caught in a forest fire and sought shelter in a nearby tavern, when she walked in the guilty woman blamed her to avoid punishment for her crime. They questioned Janis and were interrupted by the hunter, he killed everyone except her and she escaped. He attacked the Hulk and was killed after a very short fight. Hulk took a sick Janis to an unused Pantheon base but was then mentally ordered by Onslaught to find and kill Cable. Cable and Storm are able to free Hulk from Onslaught's control and they join the rest of the heroes in New York for the final battle. When Onslaught attacked New York Hulk fought him and he and Banner were separated after he destroyed Onslaught's body, Banner was one of the heroes who sacrificed themselves to destroy Onslaught and the savage Hulk was unleashed on the world again.

Banner No More

The army tried to restrain Hulk's unconscious body but he woke up and his body began giving off radiation equivalent to a nuclear bomb and he melted his container to his body. The army tried again to take the frozen Hulk but found that anything that came within five feet of him was melted by radiation so they set up a perimeter to keep civilians away. Betty showed up and it began to rain forcing the civilians to leave and the Hulk broke out of his shell. Moments later Jason the Renegade stepped from the shadows and shot the Hulk with a Pantheon gun which caused the soldiers to panic and begin shooting. He laughed off the bullets and escaped with Janis leaving Betty in tears.

Henry Gyrich was approached by Paris with a proposition to take down the Hulk for good, out of options he agreed. The Pantheon attacked Janis and Hulk and appeared to kill him, but it was actually just a mindless cloned body created by the Pantheon. Hector told them later that the Pantheon had become a democracy and that they had outvoted Paris to bring him back into the group. Hulk destroyed their ship and headed towards Washington DC with Janis where she told the military that the Hulk wasn't running anymore, if they attacked him then he would attack a major city in retaliation. While he was traveling through the mid west he and Janis were attacked by the new team of "superheroes" the Thunderbolts whom he easily defeated, then he destroyed a dam to fufill his promise of retaliation. Hulk began having chest pains that would force him to keel over in pain although at the same time he was becoming more physically powerful. Hulk traveled with Janis to Universal Studios and he started destroying the park before being attacked by Wildman. Wildman was being driven insane by voices in his head telling him to kill the Hulk and he was also granted near unlimited power to do this, but his powers disappeared after Hulk was teleported away by one of Dr.Strange's many mystical devices. Dr. Strange looked in to this and found that because of his split from Banner, Hulk was having excess energy from an alternate universe channeled through him that eventually result in the destruction of the universe. Under extreme emotional stress Hulk returned to the gamma base where he was created and found the skull of Maestro sticking out of the ground, he stood there looking at it and he was ambushed by the newest person placed in charge of capturing the Hulk Colonel Cary St. Lawrence. Hulk considered this the ultimate invasion of privacy because he considered the gamma base "his place". He was about to kill her when he had the idea to take over an island in the Florida Keyes which he renamed Hulk Island. He saved the inhabitants from a hurricane and they grew to respect him.

A few days after the hurricane Janis showed up with an alternate Hulk that came to Earth-616 when the Hulk was teleported away by Dr. Strange. He offered his help to Hulk but the shrapnel in his brain was making him angry at everything so he fought him until he was taken back to his own time.Hulk was manipulated by Apocalypse into becoming one of his Horsemen, this is noteworthy because he is the only non mutant to ever be made into a Horseman. Apocalypse offered to remove the shrapnel from Hulk's brain if he would serve him and he agreed. He battled the Absorbing Man and Juggernaut  who were sent by the NWO with Rick and Janis Jones to stop this new Hulk that was using the power of the Celestials. He nearly killed the Absorbing Man and Juggernaut but Rick jumped in and Hulk swung at him. Seeing the crippled body of his best friend caused the Hulk to break free of the mind control and flee in shame. Mercy sensed the Hulk's desire for death and sent him on a path to fight Mr. Hyde, but the Hulk wanted a good death and refused to be killed by what he considered an unworthy foe. Wanting to help put the Hulk out of his misery, Mercy sent him to one of his deadliest enemies the Abomination while back at home Betty is reunited with her resurrected father General Ross. Sulking through New York Hulk found the Abomination but because of all the damage done to his brain recently he hallucinated and saw himself instead and he began letting out all his built up rage from the last few months.

While visiting Rick in the hospital the Troyjans attack and the Hulk destroyed them all, the fight moved to Stanford and it was believed the aliens were after the president's daughter Chelsea Clinton. The secret service was easily killed but Hulk finished off the rest of the Troyjans then he reverted back to Bruce and agreed to meet with their leader Lord Armageddon. Seeing Bruce leave with the aliens the press believed that he had sacrificed himself to save Chelsea and he looked like a hero. Armageddon took him to his temporary base in Freehold where he had become their dictator, he wanted Hulk's help in ressurecting his son Trauma with the Leader's devise that had previously brought Marlo back to life. The device needed a very large gamma power source in order to work and he planned on sacrificing Hulk to do it. Bruce said no but Hulk agreed and stepped into the machine, the process started off fine but then Hulk began giving off to much radiation and incinerated Trauma's body. Armageddon agreed to live in peace out of fear of punishment from the Silver Surfer, but after Hulk left he leveled Freehold and killed everyone living their including the gamma beings Jailbait and Hotshot. Bruce was given a secret pardon for his crimes as the Hulk after saving Chelsea Clinton. Back at gamma base Bruce started talking to Reed Richards and Tony Stark about building Rick an exoskeleton so he could walk, it worked great but Rick soon became very ill and was taken to Avengers Mansion for treatment. Just when everything started going right with the Hulk, Betty nearly died due to gamma radiation poisoning that resulted from her time with the Hulk, Bruce was able to find a cure using his blood in a transfusion. But then she was pushed over the edge by the transfusion when the Abomination secretly switched it with his blood instead as revenge.

Life After Betty

Hulk vs. 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

Hulk being sent into farther space

They sent Hulk farther into space in order to land on a lifeless planet in which Hulk could live quietly without harming any other beings. This ship instead went through a wormhole leading Hulk to the planet Sakaar, a harsh war-filled planet. Weakened by traveling through the wormhole, Hulk was enslaved as a gladiator to fight for the entertainment of the notorious Red King.

Hulk vs Caiera

As a gladiator, Hulk was able to take his rage out on his opponents like never before. As the Hulk continued to win, he began to win the admiration of the population. Unbeatable, Hulk and a small band of gladiators were promised freedom if they completed a number of challenges, a ploy by the Red King to have the Hulk killed without losing the admiration of his people. Facing down and conquering each task they were given, Hulk and the other gladiators became Warbound and escaped the Red King into the wild. Furious, the King sent his armies after the Hulk, then sending his personal bodyguard Caiera the Oldstrong. Caiera was surprised by the Hulk as she had not encountered anyone as strong as she was. Finally the King sent out a plague of spikes to infect the Warbound. Hulk was captured by the Red King and was forced to fight a mind controlled Silver Surfer. The Hulk was angered by this and during his battle, freed the Silver Surfer (who soon freed the others). Refusing to go back with the Surfer, the Hulk stood against the Red King. After Miek evolved and Caiera joined the Hulk, they went to battle the Red King. The Red King knowing he could not stop the Hulk tried to rupture the surface of the planet. The Hulk however force the plates back together. Hulk defeated the Red King and became ruler of Sakaar. During his rule, Hulk won the respect and admiration of his newly found subjects.

World War Hulk

The Green Scar

Once the dead line is up, the Hulk is faced against Iron Man (in his new “Hulkbuster” armor),his cousin Jennifer ,and other heroes ,and S.H.I.E.L.D.  agents. Iron Man tries to stop the Hulk with S.P.I.N technology ,but it was unknowingly sabotaged by Initiative trainee Hardball. The Hulk defeats Iron Man and destroys Stark Tower in the process. Hulk soon fights Ghost Rider but leaves when he realizes Hulk isn’t an enemy. Hulk and his Warbound soon battle the Avengers, Doc Samson and the Fantastic Four. Mr. Fantastic plans to trick Hulk into seeing the image of the Sentry ,but the Hulk isn’t fooled and beats Richards and the Invisible Woman who along with the President tries to contact the real Sentry but he refuses to answer. He then plants obedience disks (like the ones used on him when he was a gladiator on Sakaar) on his captured heroes. The Hulk soon meets Hercules, Amadeus Cho, Namora, Carmilla Black (the current Scorpion), and Angel along with some human supports. They attempt to help the Hulk ,but he refuses even after they help him and his Warbound beat General Ross and the U.S. armed forces. The Hulk then turns Madison Square Garden into a gladiator arena.

Dr. Strange attempts...

Ends him up with broken hands

Back at the Garden, Hulk has Iron Man, Black Bolt, Mr. Fantastic and Dr. Strange fight a giant Squid like alien. They beat the monster by working together but then are forced ,by the Hulk, to fight each other. The first fight was with Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic. Reed beats Tony and is then ordered to kill Stark. However the Sentry is watching everything and leaves his mountainside retreat saying 'it's time to play God'.

Back at the stadium, at the last minute, the Hulk allows both Reed and Tony to live. The Hulk then states that he and his Warbound came to Earth for justice, not murder. He declares that they will destroy what's left of New York, and leave the heroes in shame, with no one dying by their hands. It's then that the Sentry arrives, taking down the Hulk's stone ship in the process. His first attack destroys most of the stadium and blasts the Hulk through several buildings. The Hulk stands from the rubble, seemingly unharmed, and asks the Sentry to stand down. The Sentry refuses, claiming that the Hulk is the only foe against whom he can unleash his full power.

The Sentry and the Hulk then fight while the Warbound and the heroes struggle to save the bystanders. The Sentry's unleashing of his power destroys even more of New York, and he pins the Hulk down with a vortex of pure energy. As Tony desperately tries to bring multiple attack satellites back online, the Hulk gets up and attacks the Sentry again. As they fight, the Sentry declares that he can no longer stop. The Hulk counters stating that being a savior or destroyer is a matter of choice. They continue to brawl, with the Hulk fighting back while weathering the energy-enhanced blows of the Sentry. The Sentry unleashes so much energy that he, then the Hulk, slowly revert back to their human forms, upon which Bruce lands the final blow. The Sentry, now in the form of Bob Reynolds, thanks Bruce before falling unconscious, his face a beaten and bloody mess. Bruce, injured but unbowed, stays on his feet and faces Earth's heroes and his Warbound, triumphant.

Rick Jones then welcomes Bruce home. Enraged, Miek tries to spear Bruce in an effort to release the Hulk, but ends up impaling Rick Jones. Bruce reverts back to the Hulk and pummels Miek, who then reveals that he allowed all the people on Sakaar to die. He tells Hulk that he knew the ship was sabotaged by the followers of the Red King, but allowed it to happen to remind Hulk of his true nature as a warrior not a peacekeeper. Miek is then attacked by Brood, who lamented over the dead children.

Hulk then enrages to an extent even greater than during his fight with the Sentry. He cries that he will never forgive anyone responsible for placing him in his present situation. The power he is releasing is so great that a single step creates an earthquake felt over the entire Eastern seaboard of the US. Barely in control, he screams at Tony to stop him before he cracks the planet. Hulk suppresses his power just enough so that when Tony unleashes the energy of multiple orbiting war satellites on him, he reverts back to Banner.

Banner is then kept in an unconscious state and incarcerated in a special cell located three miles underground. His Warbound is taken into custody.

Unknown to the Hulk, back on Sakaar, his son lives...

New And Improved Hulk

Hulk vs Rulk (Red Hulk)

Planet Skaar  

The Hulk No More

Some time later, it has been revealed that Banner had once again been captured. When Doc Samson and She-Hulk take a reluctant Ben Urich and Peter Parker into a false military base to serve as witnesses, they witness a traitorious General Ross working side-by-side with MODOK and Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.) in developing some sort of gamma super soldier program. They also see Bruce unconscious in a liquid suspension pod, and A-Bomb about to be experimented on.

Before they can decide what to do about this startling revelation, Doc Samson suddenly undergoes a transformation as a result of an earlier modification experiment conducted on him, and he becomes a more primal version who only refered to himself as Samson. She-Hulk and Samson fight, revealing their presence to MODOK and Gen. Ross. Ben decides that it's best for himself and Peter to escape, but the Red Hulk appears out of nowhere. He reaches for Ben, but Peter, now dressed as Spider-Man, distracts him and tries to battle both the Red Hulk and MODOK.

Spider-Man is surprised when the Red Hulk is able to burn off his webbing from his face, which allows him to gain the upper hand against the Wall Crawler. However, the battle has awakened Banner, and he transforms into the Hulk (classic green version) to save Spider-Man. Eventually, the Red Hulk gets frustrated at the constant battlign between him and the Hulk. He then manifests a previously unrevealed ability to drain gamma energy, and he drains the Hulk's power until he turns back into Banner, declaring that he didn't deserve to be the Hulk, and that Banner will never transform into the Hulk again.

Due to an impending gamma core meltdown, Red Hulk and MODOK escape. A-Bomb shields Banner from the explosion. Ben and Peter escape virtually unharmed. Ben is later prevented from writing the story when the Red Hulk threatens him with the lives of everyone at Front Line.

After an unknown amount of time, Banner is contemplating on what to do with his life now that he seemingly cannot become the Hulk anymore. He contemplates on whether or not the Hulk side of him is really dead. When Norman Osborn hears of what happened to Banner, he sends Ares to confirm that a "major player" has been removed from the field. Ares catches Banner talking to A-Bomb in his old vault, where they used to imprison the Hulk during the time when he had involuntary nighttime transformations. Ares harrasses Banner, trying to see if the things he'd do would make him transform. A-Bomb, now with Rick's personality being completely dominant, tries to defend his friend, but Ares eventually gets him in a vulnerable position.

Ares then threatens to cut off A-Bomb's head if Banner didn't manifest the Hulk. Still unable to  transform, Banner taunts Ares, and tricks him into the Hulk-proof vault, which Banner then seals. Being significantly weaker than the Hulk, Ares is unable to escape till the timer releases him in the morning. Meanwhile, Banner bids goodbye to Rick and takes a bus to places unknown.

Hulk's Powers

The Hulk's strength is based on his emotions. The more relaxed he is, the weaker he becomes, and therefore the more angry the Hulk is the stronger he becomes. He also gains strength the more he exerts himself. For this reason, The Hulk has a nearly limitless level of superhuman strength. In a totally calm state he can lift about 90 tons. When the Hulk is very mad he can lift up well over a 100 tons. He has been known to destroy mountains, aircraft carriers, support the

From a monster to a human being.

The healing factor may also attribute to the Hulk's ability to survive for an untested length of time without air or food. He is also able to withstand the rigors of space unaided. It also gives him an extended life span. In several alternate realities, the Hulk outlives all other life on earth. The main reason the Hulk doesn't have Banners personality, like the other gamma radiation characters who retain their personality, is he had an abusive father, and repressed it.Hulk also has the ability to run at a speed of 300 miles per hour,and can leap at a distance of 3 miles.

Hulk also has various different personas such as: Savage Hulk, Grey Hulk and Professor Hulk. They have variations in power-levels, especially in intellect.

Banner himself, along with some Hulk incarnations, possesses a genius level scientific intellect.

The numerous personalities in his mind, as well as the single-minded rage that the Hulk radiates, has also made him immune to mind control. Though the Hulk seems unbeatable he is not, Wolverine, Juggernaut, Hercules, Thanos, and the Silver Surfer have beaten the Hulk. Nonetheless he still remains as one of the most powerful superheroes.

The senses of the Hulk are not normal. Though it seems at times he can scarcely distinguish friend from foe, he has shown unusual supernatural perceptions, such as being able to somehow see the astral body of Dr. Strange, which mortal men cannot.

The events of Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, and its aftermath shed greater light to the Hulk's abilities. On the Planet Sakaar, his blood has been shown to transmit its regenerative abilities to making the alien flora germinate and grow at a rapid pace. Amadeus Cho also postulated that Banner's persona and intellect influence the Hulk to a greater degree than previously thought. He deduced that the Hulk is like him in many ways, able to calculate the effects of his actions to a degree so fine that he can use the maximum amount of force in any given time, and yet not kill anyone. Cho backed up his theory with the fact that despite the Hulk unleashing more power than he had ever shown before in the World War Hulk event, no one died at his hands, whether directly or indirectly.

Reed Richards later states that Banner is actively suppressing the aspect of himself dubbed the Green Scar (later renamed by the Hulk as the World-Breaker). It is that aspect which has been shown to be so strong as to be unbeatable even by Black Bolt and the Sentry, and whose power can, according to Reed, tear the planet in two. The upper limit of the Hulk's power in his World-Breaker aspect has yet to be determined.

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

The Incredible Hulk

After Banner suffers a cut, and his blood finds its way into a soda bottle eventually drank by an ill-fated consumer (Stan Lee), Ross discovers Banner's location, and sends a team to capture him, led by the Russian-born British special operations expert Emil Blonsky. Following a ferocious battle in the soft drink bottling plant where he transforms into the Hulk, Banner escapes Blonsky, and ends up in Guatemala, from which he travels to the United States, where he sees that a now-recovered Betty is working at Culver University and is dating psychologist  Leonard Samson (Ty Burrell). He also sees his old friend Stanley, a pizzeria owner, who gives him a job as a delivery boy. Banner uses this job to sneak past a Culver University security guard (played by TV's Incredible Hulk, Lou Ferrigno) to continue his research for his Internet friend and find the data from the original experiment but it was all erased. One night Betty visits the pizzeria, and sees Bruce, later reuniting with him. She gives him a USB, containing a copy of their data before the original was erased.

Blonsky reports to Ross that Bruce evaded them in Brazil because of the appearance of a large green monster. Ross explains that the monster is Banner, and that he was created accidentally during an experiment in radiation-resistance that, unbeknown to Banner himself, was inspired by a World War II era military bio-force enhancement research program, or "Super-Soldiers", as Blonsky puts it. Blonsky, seeking both revenge and power, volunteers as a test subject in order to capture Banner, and receives a small dose of of the original mothballed super-soldier formula made in WWII by Dr. Reinstein and a part of the Weapon Plus program. He leads an assault on Banner at Culver University, during which Betty is knocked unconscious. Despite Blonsky's increased strength, speed and agility, the Hulk crushes most of the bones in Blonsky's body before absconding with Betty to Smokey Mountain National Forest. He eventually calms down and becomes human again.

Banner and Betty then stay at a motel to recuperate. Betty gets him new clothes (including a big pair of purple shorts that the Hulk is usually seen wearing in the comics). While in the shower, Banner hurls up the USB which he swallowed in case he turned into the Hulk. They make out but Banner wants to avoid getting to excited. They travel to Manhattan, where they meet Banner’s "Mr. Blue" Internet friend. They had to avoid use of credit cards, using only money. Banner sends his data to Mr. Blue, but it is tracked by SHIELD. They meet, "Mr. Blue", otherwise known as Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson). Accompanying Sterns to his lab, Banner and Betty learn that Sterns has developed a possible antidote that may reverse Banner's transformations after their occurrence but might not prevent future ones, while an overdose would possibly kill him. Despite the risks, Banner agrees to test Sterns' antidote and is restrained before being shocked into transforming with electricity and then reverted to normal with an injection of the serum. Exhilarated by the success of the antidote, Sterns reveals that he has synthesized Banner's blood sample into a large supply with the intention of using it to enhance the human condition to the next evolutionary level. Appalled by what Sterns had done and fearful of the Hulk's power falling into the wrong hands, Banner attempts to convince Sterns to destroy the blood supply but he is shot by a tranquilizer from one of General Ross' snipers. Blonsky then attacks him, demanding he transform into the Hulk and when he doesn't, the former knocks him out.

As both Banner and Betty are taken into custody, Ross tries to convinces his daughter that the one she loves is monster. Betty retorts that he was responsible for Bruce's condition and that he tried covering it to protect his career. Blonsky, whose super-soldier treatment has healed all his injuries but is desperate for more power, confronts Sterns and demands he subject him to a dose of Banner's gamma radiation treatment. Sterns warns that the combination of the super-soldier serum and a gamma treatment would be an unpredictable combination and the result could be an "Abomination". Blonsky however is less than concerned about the possible consequences and Sterns promptly administers the gamma charge. As Blonsky mutates into a monstrous behemoth, he knocks Sterns aside and an irradiated sample of Banner's blood-derivative drips into an open wound on Sterns's temple, causing his cranium to mutate and expand. The Abomination goes on a rampage in the city, hoping to draw out Banner. Banner, realizing that he is the only one who can stop the Abomination, convinces General Ross to release him. He jumps out of Ross's helicopter as it hovers over the city, hoping the fall will stimulate his adrenal glands into triggering a transformation. Banner's plan succeeds and after a violent, pitched battle from the streets to atop a dilapidated building; the Abomination is defeated when the Hulk brutally strangles him unconscious with a huge chain. The Hulk then flees the scene with the Army in hot pursuit.
