Ambush in Rio de Janeiro

The Ambush in Rio de Janeiro was a coordinated operation issued by the United States Army aimed to capture Bruce Banner in Rio de Janeiro.
== Background ==
Bruce Banner was doused with an immense amount of gamma radiation when he injected himself with his imperfect Super Soldier Serum, which caused him to transform into a giant, green-skinned, muscle-bound titan with incredible strength. As an enraged and nearly mindless creature, Banner destroyed his lab, injuring Betty Ross, killing two scientists and an army officer, and also injuring General Thaddeus Ross' arm. After Ross admitted to Banner that he did not allow his monstrous form to be used as a weapon in combat, he then his troops would come after him, leading Banner into becoming a fugitive.
Now in hiding, Banner lived in Rio de Janeiro.

: "Target's on the move."

Thaddeus Ross located Bruce Banner's house and burst in to shoot him with tranquilizer ammo, but Banner fled through the window, in order to deceive the military.
Despite Banner attempting to hide his face with his hood, Blonsky had managed to caught up to him, beginning to chase him down. Blonsky and the other soldiers pursued Banner through the streets and rooftops, while Banner tried to slow down his heart rate to prevent his transformation. Continuing to flee from the United States Armed Forces unit, Banner came across General Ross himself, realizing that he was the man behind the chase.
== Aftermath ==
Bruce later decided to go back on the run. 
General Thaddeus Ross told Emil Blonsky the truth about the Hulk, explaining that the monster was Banner, although he refused to give any more details at this time. Blonsky later met with General Thaddeus Ross where Ross then explained that Hulk was created accidentally during an experiment in radiation-resistance that was inspired by World War II, the Super Soldier Serum. After talking about the classified information, Blonsky was intrigued enough to volunteer as a test subject to compete with Banner.
