ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE HULK...
The Incredible Hulk, a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe, debuted in May 1962. The story revolves around Dr. Bruce Banner, a military scientist working on developing a new type of weapon called a "Gamma Bomb". As the bomb is being tested, however, Bruce notices that a teenager has driven his hot rod onto the test site. Banner leaves the safety of his bunker, grabs the young man, and throws him into a nearby ditch, but the bomb explodes before Bruce himself can get to safety. As a result, he absorbs an enormous dose of gamma radiation, and this is what causes him to transform into the rampaging Hulk. At first Bruce becomes the "Grey Hulk" whenever the sun goes down, but after being exposed to further radiation in space, he begins transforming into the larger, more destructive Green Hulk whenever he grows angry, frightened, or panicked. Whereas the Grey Hulk seemed to possess normal human intelligence and an arrogant, dismissive attitude toward "puny humans," the Green Hulk has the intellect and temperament of a small, angry child. The Incredible Hulk's powers include vast superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. He is also able to leap miles within a single bound, and possesses a regenerative healing factor.
