Brief History

Jim Wilson was a friend of Bruce Banner, Rick Jones, and nephew of Sam "Snap" Wilson, the superhero also know as Falcon. He had many adventures with the Hulk. Wilson, being HIV positive has to deal with stereo-types of homophobics and bigots. It is never explained how Wilson got HIV, just that his girlfriend had left him.

Soon after developing full blown AIDS, Wilson is on his death bed. Wilson asks Hulk for a blood tranfusion, knowing that the Hulks blood would cure the disease. Hulk not wanting to create another monster, pretends to give the transfusion to Wilson. Soon after Wilson admits it would not have been a good idea.
