Once upon a time there was a scientist named Bruce Banner who worked in an experimental laboratory. His goal was to create a serum that could enhance human strength and stamina. After numerous attempts, he was finally able to complete his goal and the serum was tested on a volunteer human subject: Bruce Banner. The serum was successful, so Bruce became the Incredible Hulk. The 2002 Alex Proyas-directed Marvel film “Hulk” tells the story of how Bruce Banner became the Incredible Hulk and how he must deal with the side effects of the tests, as well as his new powers.
