Porto Verde is a city in Brazil.
==History==
===Hunt for Bruce Banner===
General Thaddeus Ross, responsible for tracking down Bruce Banner, figured that he could be anywhere in the world, after Banner's track was lost following an incident in the jungles of South America. Ross theorized that Banner could even be in places such as Paris or Venice.
Unbeknownst to him, Banner traveled to Porto Verde, working in a soft drink bottling factory. Marcos de Souza pinpointed that he was the first American he recalled looking for a job in Brazil.
S.H.I.E.L.D. maintained surveillance on Banner during his time in Brazil, with Agent Jasper Sitwell in charge of the operation until his reassignment to New Mexico.The Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week
===Cure for Gamma Poisoning===
Bruce Banner settled in Rocinha, the largest in Brazil, juggling his job in the bottling factory with attempts to find a cure for his condition. In order to control his emotions and heart rate and prevent his transformations, Banner also studied martial arts and meditative breathing techniques with a instructor. These lessons allowed him to control and prevent his transformations for five months.
Banner suffered a cut in the factory, and although he ordered to stop the machines to clean it and avoid any contamination, his blood dripped into a soda bottle sent back to the United States. Later that same day, Banner noticed one of his co-workers, Martina, being harassed by a man, and his first impulse was to leave to not lose control of himself. However, his conscience made him approach peacefully to try to drive the molester away. The man confronted Banner, but Marcos de Souza appeared and stopped the potential fight between them.
The search for a cure for his condition drove Banner to study the Corablanca flower described in the book Inventory of Rare and Endangered Tracheophyta of Amazônia, and he finally received it from someone he had hired to search for it. Banner contacted a man who helped him through his research, code named "Mr. Blue", to inform him of the discovery. Blue advised him to try a high dose of the component extracted from the plant, and he was able to produce a serum using homemade laboratory equipment.
Banner tried the serum on a blood drop, and while it seemed to be successful at first, it triggered a reaction that made the cells explode. Informing Mr. Blue of the failure, Blue insisted to meet Banner in person, as living with Gamma poisoning could be more dangerous than the eventual risks of their meeting, and convinced him to send a blood sample.
A few days later, Banner received news from Mr. Blue, as preliminary blood tests showed significant gamma reduction, but as he asked for more data, Banner realized he should return to Culver University to retrieve it.
===Ambush in Porto Verde===
General Thaddeus Ross managed to locate Banner after learning that a man in Milwaukee suffered a severe case of Gamma poisoning after drinking from the bottle that got impregnated with Banner's blood. Ross assembled a military unit led by Russian-born British special operations expert Emil Blonsky, to capture Banner.
Ross and his unit located Banner's house and burst in to shoot him with tranquilizer ammo, but Banner fled through the window and momentarily hid in Martina's house to deceive the military. Blonsky and the other soldiers pursued Banner through the streets and rooftops of Rocinha, while Banner tried to slow down his heart rate to prevent his transformation.
While fleeing, Banner came across General Ross, realizing he was the man behind the chase. He also ran into the molester from the factory, who pursued Banner with his friends to the bottling factory in order to beat him. Blonsky located Banner in the factory and approached to witness the appearance of Hulk, as the transformation was triggered by the men beating him.
Hulk easily knocked out the men, and a ferocious battle between Hulk and Blonsky's team started. Their tranquilizer ammo proved ineffective against Hulk, who finally managed to escape, and Blonsky was the only soldier to end the encounter unharmed.
Ross and Blonsky returned to Banner's house to search for evidence that would indicate Banner's next step, finding a photograph of Betty Ross and Banner's computer. Blonsky asked for the nature of Hulk, and Ross confessed that Banner was that creature, without further details.
===Alternate Universe===
====Hiding from the Army====
Bruce Banner hid from the United States Army in Porto Verde, but was found by Emil Blonsky and ambushed by Blonsky and the Army. Banner rushed into a factory, which the Army then blew up, triggering Banner's transformation into the Hulk. Hulk fought through the army and made his escape, fleeing to New York City. Meanwhile, Thaddeus Ross approached Blonsky and told him about the experiment which created the Hulk.
