Origin

As a teenager, Rick Jones knew no fear. When he was dared to sneak onto a military testing facility, he didn't give it a second thought. What he and his friends did not know was the facility was a test center for an experimental Gamma bomb. When scientist Bruce Banner noticed Rick sneaking on, he raced out to save him seconds before the bomb was to detonate. Time only allowed for Banner to push Rick into the safety of a trench as the explosion irradiated his shocked body. Thus the incredible Hulk was born.

The sacrifice that Banner had made caused Rick to grow up fast. He knew it was his fault and took the responsibility to assist Banner and the Hulk, knowing how dangerous it would be.

Later Rick became an honorary member of the super hero team, the Avengers. Jones was trained by Captain America, himself and went on to become his sidekick.

As the years went by, Rick was continuously drawn into the superhero world. His molecules were temporarily bonded with the Kree hero Captain Mar-Vell untill his Mar-Vell's death.

Soon after Ricks' guilt made him decide to expose himself to gamma rays in hope to make a Hulk like being to stop Bruce/Hulk who was on a rampage. It backfired and gave himself Gamma poisening.

While in the hospital the Dire Wraiths attacked. Rick was saved by Rom the Spaceknight and the two teamed together till the Dire Wraith threat ended.

A being known as the Beyonder cured Rick from his cancer.

Rick  began to hang-out with the Hulk again during  the period that Hulk's persona retained Bruce Banner's interlect.

After teaming-up with the Avengers during Avengers Forever Rick bonded with Genis, who was the late Captain Mar-Vell's son.

Recently, Rick provided funding for a group of former teen heros known as the Loners and tried getting them to help the new group of young heroes, the Runaways.

Rick was also present in Captain America's funeral. In the events of the World War Hulk, Rick reunited with the Hulk and supports him about the Illuminati's atrocities against him, but reasons to his friend that vengeance is not the answer. After the Hulk defeated Sentry, Miek tried to stab him but Rick protected Hulk and was the one who got stabbed. He was later rushed into the hospital.

Next, Rick woke and found himself in burning Alaska pipeline. When he traveled into the site where Bruce Banner became the Hulk, he was suddenly attacked by the Red Hulk. In self-defense, Rick turned into a creature that resembled the Abomination, calling himself A-Bomb.

He can now transform himself to a creature that resembles the Abomination, and also gives him superhuman capabilities. These new powers include super human strength and durability.
