Doctor **Robert Bruce Banner**, M.D., Ph.D., is a renowned scientist and a founding member of the Avengers. Highly respected for his work in biochemistry, nuclear physics, and gamma radiation, he was commissioned by Thaddeus Ross to recreate the Super Soldier Serum which created Captain America, although Ross elected not to inform Banner what he was creating. However, when an exposure to high levels of gamma radiation instead of vita radiation went awry, the mild-mannered scientist had found that when angered, provoked or excited, he would transform into the huge, rage-fueled, nearly mindless creature known as **Hulk**.

Bruce was, from here on, on the run from the US Government as they deemed him "property of the US Military" according to General Ross. It was through these years that Bruce ran and ran away in hiding. In desperation, General Ross hired Emil Blonsky to join his group when finding Banner, even signing Blonsky up for a militarized prototype of the Super Soldier Serum. Although this seemed to work at first, the further they went on, the more side-effects seemed to appear. Blonsky then wanted so much he used Bruce's blood to turn himself into the Abomination, an evil and power-hungry counter part to Banner's Hulk. Ross then asked Banner to help him defeat Emil, something he initially objected to but then finally agreed to. The Hulk and the Abomination then fought, leading to Banner's victory as Blonsky was taken away into custody. Banner was then left to leave and hide out where he thought he'd escaped the eyes of the US government.

Banner fled the United States and dedicated his time to aiding the sick and poor. When a mounting threat called for Banner's specialized scientific expertise, S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited him, knowing full well that the incredible strength of Banner's alter-ego, Hulk, would be an additional asset to the Avengers. Banner was tasked with tracking down the Tesseract, working alongside Tony Stark to achieve this. Despite almost causing a disaster when he was forcibly transformed into Hulk by Loki, Banner joined the Avengers during the Battle of New York and assisted them in defeating Loki and his Chitauri army. Once the Avengers split up in the wake of the battle, Banner had become good friends with Stark and relocated to Avengers Tower, free to live his life without apprehension.

Bruce from here went onto help the Avengers for many many years up to the year 2050 where the Avengers came across The Organization, an evil group of the most prominent villains set bent on world domination. The Avengers fought hard against the dreaded Organization but to no use. Many heroes fell on the day of the last battle. In fact, Banner was one of the few survivors. After this fight, the Avengers had officially died, all the heroes seeming to go their separate ways in defeat.

Bruce began to wander, similar to how he did during the years he was hunted by the US Military, however this time it was by The Organization. Bruce eventually came across a laboratory. It was secluded, no one around. He didn't even know where he was himself. He knew it was perfect. He could work on his body, his biology, to find out if he could cure himself of the Hulk. That way, he would be able to be free from The Organization, as all they wanted was the beast, or at least as far as Banner was aware. Bruce currently stays here, on his own and alone, struggling to find a cure for himself as well as keep out of The Organization's eyes while he does so.
