**Hulk** (real name Doctor **Robert Bruce Banner**) is a superhero who transforms from a man to a dangerous creature of rage and destruction. He was an American theoretical physicist, famed for his work in the fields of nuclear physics and gamma radiation. During its first live test he was bombarded with a massive dose of gamma rays while saving a kid who had made his way onto the test site,He was mutated into a green behemoth, the living personification of rage, fueled by pure physical strength and would come to be known as the "Incredible Hulk". Hulk has a human side and this separates him from the more monstrous opponents. Hulk is often confused and alone in the world and wants to be left alone yet is forever hounded by heroes and villains alike, this forces Hulk to fight and this only serves to make him angrier and stronger.

## Biography

**Robert Bruce Banner** is the son of Dr. Brian Banner, an atomic physicist, and his wife Rebecca. Although Rebecca deeply loved Bruce, who returned her affection, Brian hated Bruce, and was driven by an insane jealousy of Bruce for being an object of Rebecca's love. Further, Brian believed that his radiation work had altered his DNA and given him a mutant son. These factors led to Brian abusing Bruce physically. One of the people who helped Bruce cope with Brian's tantrums was his paternal cousin Jennifer Walters, with whom Bruce used to spend summers in the public library reading for hours, losing themselves to books.

Bruce's life reached a turning point when Brian murdered Rebecca, and he was placed in a mental hospital. After that, Bruce was raised by his aunt and father's sister, Susan Banner, who understood his great pain and rage over his childhood sufferings. Susan raised Bruce with love and care, as if he were her own child. Susan never wanted to deal with her brother after what he had done to Bruce and Rebecca. Bruce, grew up as a highly withdrawn, intellectually gifted youth, in fact, a child prodigy. His father's abuse caused Bruce to start to develop dissociative identity disorder which would go undiagnosed for years, partly due to the fact his D.I.D. was suppressed. After graduating from Science High School, Bruce studied nuclear physics in Navapo, New Mexico, at Desert State University as the star student of Professor Herbert Josiah Weller. Later he dated a girl named Susan Jacobson, but their relationship soon became rocky when Bruce lacked any sort of intimacy and she broke it off after one night where he tried to force himself upon her.

Bruce obtained his doctorate in nuclear physics at Caltech, alongside Philip Sterns, who later became Madman. Eventually, as an adult and a genius in nuclear physics, Banner wished to pursue philanthropic brands of science, but couldn't receive any financial funding for his projects, and thus in lack of other options, went to work at a United States Defense Department nuclear research facility at Desert Base, New Mexico. There Banner met General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross, the Air Force officer in command of the base, and his daughter Betty Ross. Banner and Betty eventually fell in love with each other. Banner designed and oversaw construction of the "Gamma Bomb" or "G-bomb," a nuclear weapon possessing a high gamma radiation output.

After fifteen years of confinement, the doctors believed that Brian was ready to rejoin society. Despite his reluctance, Bruce let his father temporarily stay with him. During this time, Brian began acting strange, causing tensions to escalate between the two. After Brian lashed out at his son, blaming him for his insanity, Bruce left to visit his mother's grave since it was the anniversary of her death. Brian followed him and started harassing Bruce, calling him a mutant and a monster. The confrontation quickly became physical, and Brian knocked Bruce down. While on the ground, Bruce pushed him back with his foot. Brian stumbled back and the impact of his head on Rebecca's gravestone killed him. To cope with killing his own father, Bruce blocked the memories of Brian's stay with him and his subsequent death, making himself believe that, as the two of them fought at Rebecca's grave, Brian had simply beat him and left, later being killed by muggers.

Banner was present in the instrumentation bunker at the test site for the first underground test detonation of the Gamma Bomb. Observing that a civilian had breached security and entered the restricted test area, Banner told his colleague Igor Starsky to delay the countdown while he tried to escort the civilian to safety. Starsky, secretly a Soviet agent, did nothing, confident that Banner would die in the explosion, bringing the project to a halt. Reaching the civilian, a teenager named Rick Jones, Banner threw him into a protective trench.

Before Banner could get himself to safety, the Gamma Bomb detonated, and intense waves of radiation reached the surface. Banner was irradiated with highly charged radioactive particle . The Gamma Bomb mutated Bruce's body, causing him to frequently transform into the vastly powerful, grey-skinned, humanoid monster whom General Ross named "the Hulk."

At first Banner changed into the Hulk at sunset and reverted to human form at dawn. However, Banner's body eventually changed so that his transformations into the Hulk were triggered by the release of adrenaline when he became intensely excited or angry, no matter what time of day or night it was.

Usually, the Hulk possessed little of Banner's memory and intelligence and was easily enraged.

## Personality

Bruce Banner suffered severe trauma as a child inflicted by his father and repressed it in his subconsciousness. This abuse resulted in the young Bruce Banner developing both anger issues and dissociative identity disorder, and the early emergence of several alternate personalities. Indeed, each aspect of his complex mind, concerning the at least three primary Hulk identities, represents a peculiar manifestation of Banner's multifaceted freudian psyche. This condition was compounded later in life by the traumatic explosion that triggered his initial transformation into the Incredible Hulk, and further stimulated the emergence of other aspects of his personality. Following his Gamma accident, many of his alters now take Hulk forms, though some, like Joe Fixit, can remain in human form when they switch.

That exposure to concentrated levels of gamma energy brings about the expression of the deepest parts of the collective unconscious. In this process, the darkest, most deeply buried sense of self dictates the subject's mutation. Particularly in the case of Bruce Banner, it stimulated the expression of a repressed fury that played an essential role in his transformation into the Hulk. Banner became an obsessive-compulsive person. He finally sublimated his grief and rage over his childhood, diverting the drives spawned by his sufferings into the relative safety of science.

Because of that, Banner is often trying to hide his emotional damage, resulting predominantly in social isolation. Banner became a highly withdrawn intellectual unable to cope with emotions. In the course of his life, Banner has also been pursued by the destruction that Hulk causes, what culminates in more complications in his life. However, Bruce Banner is a self-sacrificing and heroic person.

Banner and Hulk are frequently portrayed as mutually hating each other.

## Powers

**▪Gamma Mutate Physiology** - Due to Bruce Banner being exposed to the Gamma Bomb's radiation, culminating in his transformation into a powerful monster, the gamma radiation mutated the Hulk's body and fortified his cellular structure, adding over 800 lbs of bone marrow and muscle tissues to his body. In addition, during times of stress the Incredible Hulk's adrenaline level escalates, causing a corresponding escalation of brute strength. Thus, the madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets :

**• Transformation** - Banner can transforms into the Hulk, a very strong, angry, and powerful monster. When he's on adrenaline (fear, rage and stress) banner's triggers the complex chemical-extra-physical process that transforms him into the Hulk :

**° Superhuman Strength** - The Hulk possesses the capacity for essentially limitless physical strength. In proportion to his rage, it grows exponentially towards infinity without never really reaching it.

**° Superhuman Durability** - In addition to immense strength, the Hulk's body possesses a high degree of resistance to physical injury. The gamma radiation that served as the catalyst for his current state fortified his cellular structure, endowing him with high degree of resistance to injury, pain, and disease.

**° Superhuman Stamina** - Hulk's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than that of normal humans. As a result, his muscles produce practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to those of humans. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time without tiring at all.

**° Superhuman Speed** - Regardless of his size, Hulk's superhumanly strong legs allow him to run at speeds that are well beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.

**° Superhuman Agility** - Despite his large size, Hulk is very agile, being able to move with great speed and ease.

**° Superhuman Reflexes** - Hulk has an enhanced reaction time, which allows him to dodge many attacks from other opponents.

**° Superhuman Senses** - Hulk possesses enhanced senses such as sight and hearing.

**° Superhuman Leaping** - The Hulk is able to use his highly developed leg muscles to leap great distances. As the Hulk becomes enraged, his strength increases considerably, which means he can jump farther than usual.

**° Thunderclap** - The Hulk can slam his hands together to create a tremendously powerful sonic vibration that propagates through the air. He can use this to be able to move around by air.

**° Regenerative Healing Factor** - Despite the Hulk's high resistance to physical harm, it is possible to cause the Hulk injury. However, the Hulk is capable of regenerating damaged or destroyed areas of his entire body with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Additionally, the Hulk heals faster and more extensively the madder he gets. Hulk is also, completely invulnerable to all known Earth-based diseases and viruses, including AIDS. Also, for all intents and purposes; the Hulk lives indefinitely. Because of an enhanced healing factor, derived from the properties of gamma energy that empowers him, the Hulk has a prolonged lifespan.

**▪Anger Empowerment** - Hulk becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. through anger and rage, he also he also starts generating more gamma radiation inside him :

**• Gamma Radiation Manipulation** - Hulk possesses at least a limited ability to manipulate forms of energy, particularly gamma radiation. The Hulk's body works like a "gamma battery" by constantly creating and radiating gamma energy. He can focus gamma energy into his fists to give him more strength, and he can generate powerfull gamma energy blasts with his thunderclaps.

**▪Vacuum Adaptation** - Hulk can survive and adapt to the vacuum of space unaided and are able to withstand atmospheres, cosmic media, strange gravity, and lack of air.

## Abilities

**▪Super-Genius Intelligence** - Doctor Bruce Banner is a super-genius in nuclear physics, possessing a mind so brilliant that it cannot be measured by any known intelligence test. He is capable of extraordinary feats of intellect. Banner is also a multilingual, learned Russian while getting his Ph.D. He also speaks Austro-Bavarian.

**▪Master Combatant**- The Hulk is a skillful and capable warrior, demonstrating vast versatility and intuition in the battle.

**▪Indomitable Will** - The Hulk has an enduring and unbreakable willpower under extreme conditions.
