Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, Ph.D.[4] a.k.a. the Hulk, is an American theoretical physicist famous for his work in the fields of nuclear physics and gamma radiation.[76] He was recruited by General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross and the U.S. Army to develop the first Gamma Bomb. During its first live test, he was bombarded with a massive dose of gamma rays while saving Rick Jones, a teenager who had made his way onto the test site. He was mutated into a green behemoth, the living personification of anger that was fueled by pure physical strength, and would come to be known as the near-mindless "Incredible Hulk". Fearful of the damage that the Hulk could inflict, as well as fleeing from the military, he went on the run.[77] In the years that followed, Banner became a loner, occasionally joining together with other heroes, but more often than not struggling to be left alone. He was a founding member of the group of heroes known as the Avengers, "Earth's Mightiest Heroes", as well as a founding member of the group of outsider heroes known as the Defenders, but would not remain with either group for too long (although, admittedly, his time with the Defenders was much longer than his time with the Avengers was).[37][78] Over the years, the Hulk's personality changed drastically, owing to Banner's undiagnosed dissociative identity disorder. At times intelligent, at other times savage, the one constant in the Hulk's existence was his quest for solitude and peace in a world that would not leave him alone.[77]
When a riot breaks out at the Raft, a prison for superhumans, just as Iron Man is taking two men there, he finds himself surrounded by several villains, not only those he and his fellow Avengers have defeated throughout their lives. With no other choice, he calls the Avengers, but perhaps not even the five heroes will be able to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, Steve Rogers tries to accept the fact that he spent decades frozen, that this is no longer his time, that all his friends are gone. He wonders what to do in a world that is no longer his. Upon seeing the news about the riot at the supervillain prison, Steve doesn't hesitate to do what he does best: join the fight and confront criminals. Captain America joins the Avengers to combat the riot and stop these supervillains. However, he is not the only one to join the fight; SHIELD agents Mockingbird and Hawkeye also join the heroes to stop these villains. Now, the heroes must unite, learn how to work together, to stop not only this riot, but also to prevent the prison's radical defense protocol from being carried out, self-destructing, and sinking everyone inside.
