In a flashback 3 years before, in a Nevada desert, Bruce Banner and Betty Ross are planning to test a Gamma Bomb for the military. Before the test began, Betty is teased about her relationship with Banner, whom she notes is quite hard to have a relationship with and describes him as "shy and reserved" ever since childhood. As the test begins, Banner notices a friend of his, Rick Jones, riding a bike near the area and runs to save him. Betty tries to stop the test, but the procedure has already began. While Banner manages to put Rick on safe ground, he himself is exposed to the Gamma Radiation. Much to everyone's horror, he transforms into the Incredible Hulk.
