GREEN HULK (FULL)
History: Robert Bruce Banner was born to atomic scientist Dr. Brian Banner and his wife, Rebecca. Although deeply loved by his mother, Bruce’s father who was mentally unstable harbored a deep jealousy and hatred for him. Brian was convinced that his work in atomic science had altered his genetic structure and because of this he also feared that Bruce would grow up a genetic freak, when actually, Bruce was just a very gifted and intelligent child. While growing up Bruce was subjected to Brian’s drunken rages and abuse, as was his mother. Tragically, Rebecca was killed by Brian when she attempted to take young Bruce and leave him. His mother's murder and his father's arrest left Bruce in the care of his aunt, Mrs. Drake, and he grew up a social outcast due to the trauma of being abused by his father as well as witnessing his mother’s abuse and murder at the hands of his father.
After graduating high school, Bruce began studying nuclear physics at Desert State University and later at the California Institute of Technology. He gained employment with the military at Desert Base, New Mexico under the command of General “Thunderbolt” Ross, who was overseeing the test of Banner’s newly-created Gamma Bomb. It was here that he met Ross’s daughter, Betty and the two found a mutual attraction. On the day of the bomb’s scheduled detonation Banner saw someone in the testing area. Hoping to rescue this person, Banner went into the testing area where he encountered the person he'd seen; a young teenager named Rick Jones, who had sneaked onto the test site on a dare. Banner managed to push Jones to safety. However, rather than delay the countdown and halt the detonation as instructed, Banner’s assistant Igor Starsky, (in reality, a foreign secret agent named Igor Drenkov) allowed the countdown and the subsequent detonation to occur. This resulted in Banner being caught in the Gamma Bomb explosion and thus exposed to an incredibly massive amount of gamma radiation. Banner and Jones were later picked up by the base's military personnel and taken back to Desert Base where they were placed in isolation and observation due to their exposure to gamma radiation. They were still in isolation at sundown when Banner transformed into a gray, monstrous, and lumbering brute for the first time. This brute was quickly dubbed “the Hulk” by military personnel.
After absorbing the radiation from a gamma bomb explosion, Bruce Banner became a giant, grey version of the Hulk at night (he would not transform into the subsequently-standard green Hulk until much later). Banner's first adventure was when he was captured by the Russian villain, The Gargoyle, whom Igor Drenkov/Starsky, a communist spy who was working undercover as a scientist with Bruce Banner, had informed of Banner's transformation. The Gargoyle wanted to know the secret of the Hulk so he could reverse his own horrible radiation-damaged face. In return for Banner's help, he released both Banner and Rick Jones, having kidnapped the latter in an effort to force Banner to cooperate. Jones would soon become Bruce's sidekick, travelling with him and attempting to control the Hulk's rage. Because of Banner's lack of control over the Hulk, he was declared a menace by General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who mobilized Army personnel under his command to track down the Hulk under orders to capture him -- and to destroy him if at all possible. However, Banner would gain some control over the Hulk with radiation treatments and become a founding member of the Avengers. However this would not last long and misunderstandings with team members led to The Hulk leaving The Avengers. Banner regained the ability to conceal his condition for some time, but that would not last and he commenced to wander the country as both Banner and the Hulk.
During Banner's wanderings, he paid a visit to his cousin Jennifer Walters, a lawyer in Los Angeles. But in the course of their visit, she was shot by a henchman of the crime boss Nicholas Trask for defending a thug of his, Lou Monkton, whom he was framing for murder. All Banner could do to save his cousin was give her a blood transfusion. Because of this, she was turned into the heroine, the She-Hulk. Soon after, the Hulk was captured by Dr. Leonard Samson ( Doc Samson), and the two discovered that the only way to cure Banner of being the Hulk was that the two would have to separate their bodies. Banner was placed in a 'nutrient bath' that separated the cells that were uniquely his from those of the irradiated Hulk. Being separate, they each gained their own body and personalities, but the Hulk becomes an even greater threat without Banner's mental and moral restraint. Banner would soon create a team called "The Hulk-Busters" to track down and stop the Hulk. Banner soon chose this time to ask Betty Ross to marry him.
During the wedding Banner became sick. It was revealed that Banner and The Hulk needed each other or they would die as they were losing their molecular cohesion. After being weakened by his sickness, the Hulk was captured by the Avengers. Accepting that the only way to stop the Hulk and save her husband, Betty asks the Avengers to spare the Hulk. With some help from "The Vision," a synthezoid that was one of the Avengers's greatest enemies, the robot Ultron (created by Henry Pym) from the remains of the original Human Torch, the two were re-joined together. Unfortunately, without The Vision's presence, the cohesion remained unstable. Banner slipped into a coma and the Hulk was restrained. Dr. Samson decide that the only way to re-combine the two was to place them back into the 'nutrient bath' with reversed ionization. As they were preparing for the process, Banner and the Hulk, now restrained in the gamma base, begin transforming back and forth; Hulk to Banner and back again, arguing the whole time over who would control their body. Oddly, Banner began to push out from within the Hulk's body, asking Samson and the SHIELD agents present to kill him and stop the Hulk permanently. Refusing to harm Banner, the SHIELD agents corralled the Hulk back into the 'bath'. General Ross escaped his SHIELD escort during that time and attempted to ruin the 'bath' in hopes of permanently destroying the Hulk, but he was impeded by Rick Jones, who ended up being pushed into the nutrient bath himself. When the tank eventually ruptured, the Grey Hulk emerged, to the shock of everyone present.
At this time Banner would turn into the Hulk at nightfall and return to human form during the day. As the two traded off, each would try to find a way to destroy the other. For a time, Jones became a Hulk-like creature himself, but he was soon cured by the Leader. However, the process established a mental link between the two. General Ross was killed at this approximate time, but his body was stolen by the Leader, who afterwards kidnapped Betty Ross Banner. Bruce Banner, Jones, and Clay Quartermain set out to try and save her and destroy all of the remaining gamma bombs in the possession of the government and thereby foil the Leader's plans to steal them. To slow down the Hulk's search for him, the Leader returned Betty, and she revealed that she was pregnant. The Leader did succeed, in spite of Banner's, Jones's, and Quartermain's efforts, in stealing a gamma bomb, which he detonated in a small Arizona town called Middletown. It seemingly killed the Hulk and created several new gamma irradiated servants for the Leader, whom he nicknamed Rock, Hotshot, Jailbait and Ogress. It seemed that the Leader had also resurrected the Redeemer, who was believed to be dead.
This Hulk spent some years in Las Vegas where he acted under the name of Joe Fixit, a.k.a. Mr. Fixit. This incarnation of the Hulk was a mean-spirited, street smart, wise-cracking thug. He became a "leg-breaker" for Michael Berengetti at his casino. Under the persona of Joe Fixit he had everything he wanted - women, money and peace, since the world believed that the Hulk had died in the gamma bomb explosion. He also started a relationship with Marlo Jones. Marlo would soon leave him and began dating Rick Jones, whom she later married. Dr. Robert Bruce Banner was not seen for months.
In the Microverse again, Joe is used to overthrow a corrupt religious leader and teleported back to Earth. As payment for helping, they placed a spell on Fixit that they promised would rid him of Banner permanently. This spell is somehow altered by his abrupt return and only lasted three months. When Banner surfaced again, he is amazed that three months had passed since he had been himself. After some confusing encounters, he came to understand what Joe had done in his time and creates a shaky truce with his alternate personality. At this time it was revealed the Savage Green persona was still inside of them, but chose not to come out. Something happened, something to keep him from wanting out ever again. Even if Joe is willing to lend him their body for some time the Green Hulk refuses.
Joe eventually wound up in this reality and decided to start his enterprise all over again in Vegas. Whenever he is back in his Banner form, he assumes the identity of Bruce Belson, a scientist ally of Fixit.
Equipment: A pair of Tommy Guns.
Powers:
Transformation - Originally the Grey Hulk would only come out at night, due to a subconscious fear and hatred of the Dark from Bruce's youth. But over time the two have made it so he can transform into the Grey Hulk just as easily as he could the Savage Green one.
Strength - This Hulk's base strength level is 95 tons. His strength can get higher as he gets madder, but as Joe is a far more intelligent Hulk, it is hard for him to tap into the same high levels as the Savage Hulk.
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. The Hulk has transposed about 800 miles with a single leap.
Limitless Stamina - The Hulk's body counteracts fatigue poisons that build up in his muscles during physical activity. In an enraged state, the Hulk is capable of exerting himself at peak physical capacity for several days before fatigue begins to really affect him. However, much like his vast physical strength, the Hulk's stamina does increase as he becomes angrier.
Abilities: Super-Genius Intelligence, Skilled Combatant, Self-Restraint, Multilingual
Weaknesses: Despite being stronger than this reality's Hulk, the Grey Hulk still is very much driven by rage.
Trivia:
-Yes, unlike this reality's Hulk, this Hulk's green form can actually talk.
-Banner is 5'9" tall. Fixit is 6'6".
