Robert Bruce Banner

A massive dose of gamma radiation transformed the brilliant but meek scientist Bruce Banner's DNA, awakening the hidden, adrenaline-fed hero in his genes... HULK! A hero of few words and incredible strength, the Hulk has long been pursued by those who want to use his immense power for their own purposes, or by those who thought the Jade Giant's anger was too dangerous to be controlled. Now, as a member of the Avengers, Hulk helps smash the unimaginable threats that no Hero could face alone, hoping to at least prove to the world that he is the strongest HERO there is!

Bruce Banner worked as a scientist on the gamma bomb project when he heroically saved a young man from exposure to a nuclear blast. Unfortunately, the exposure to gamma radiation changed Banner's cell structure, causing him to transform into a raging green monster (known as the Hulk) when he became angry. Over the years, the Hulk has acted as hero, villain, or pure destructive force depending on his state of mind. Through it all, Banner continues to search for a cure that would end his deadly rampages.
