Bruce Banner was a brilliant atomic scientist who was respected
throughout the scientific community. During the Cold War, he developed an
atomic bomb which harnessed the power of Gamma radiation. During a test
for this deadly device, Banner noticed that a teenager had wandered out into
the test site. His supervisors unwilling to halt the tests, Banner
selflessly drove out into the test area to save the youth. He managed to
get the teen behind a bunker, but Banner himself was bathed in the deadly
radiation as the bomb exploded. He awoke days later, and soon found that
the gamma radiation had not killed him but had drastically altered his
body. At night, he turned into the incredible Hulk, a huge green being
with immense strength. Although he was conscious when he was the Hulk, the
monster functioned as a seperate, less intelligent entity that Banner had
no control over. The Hulk was considered to be a menace, but was largely
misunderstood. He has undergone many changes since then, and currently
Banner is able to control the Hulk, combining his intelligence and morals
with the Hulk's great strength and stamina. No menace is too powerful or
too strong for the Hulk.
