**Banner** is a male character currently competing in Interdimensional Object Show II. As of The Return, he is on team it..

## Appearance

Banner is a large, wide, pink banner with his notable feature being his incredibly long strings that spans into unknown lengths. He is always shown to be floating.

## Personality

Banner loves doing what he can, despite the fact he physically can't do much to help out. Banner also tends to worry a lot, especially for the people he cares about. He means well, however, and believes in everyone's capabilities.

## Coverage

### The Return

Banner excitedly asks Tablet what is happening at the moment. He is next seen walking with the rest of the contestants to the change of scenery. During the team making process, Banner suggests he join Cactus and Asparagus's team, and also suggests Blank Slate join the team. He explains to Asparagus that Blank Slate can't move or think or do anything at all. The team ends up being called It..

### Gambling Goals

Banner is curious about what Blank Slate can do, and urges Asparagus to find out. Asparagus chooses to find out what Blank Slate can do by wrestling with them, much to Banner's worry. Asparagus makes fun of Banner's worried face and promises to be careful, eventually putting Blank Slate in a choke hold. Banner tells Asparagus to let them go before things get out of hand, but, after letting them go, things do. Blank Slate puts Asparagus in a choke hold hug in which she can't escape from. Banner then rushes off to get help. Banner then comes back with Swordy, hoping he can pull the 2 apart. Swordy loosens Blank Slate's grip but ultimately does not free Asparagus. Swordy comments on this, calling Blank Slate a "little bambino". This confuses Banner, as he doesn't speak Italian, getting Swordy to want to teach him. Banner rushes off to get more help in the form of Notebook, who wields a crowbar. Notebook questions what the crowbar is for, but Banner basically tells him there's no time and to follow him. Banner comes back to Asparagus with the purple smartie, who successfully frees her from the clutches of the rocky wonder. Swordy, trying to keep his ego up, says he could've done that if he hadn't skipped arm day, which Banner obviously doesn't believe. Banner then tells Asparagus that she should stop wrestling with Blank Slate to avoid this happening again. After being rounded up by Kite and told about the challenge, Tablet reveals to Banner, Asparagus and Blank Slate that he recovered Cactus for them after he died last episode, making Banner happy to see the little guy back. Banner floats in the casino along with the others (sans 6 contestants). After a few hours, Banner notices Asparagus repeatedly spinning a money wheel and is worried she might be addicted to gambling. He also takes care of Blank Slate while in there, making sure he stays upright. Tablet comes in the casino to announce that the challenge is over, and Banner sadly reveals that his team has made nothing, putting them up for elimination. In the stinger, Banner learns how to count 1-10 in Italian from Swordy's book.
