Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, also known as The Incredible Hulk, is a fictional superhero appearing in publications by the American publisher Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in the debut issue of The Incredible Hulk (May 1962). In his comic book appearances, the character is both the Hulk, a green-skinned, hulking and muscular humanoid possessing a vast degree of physical strength, and his alter ego Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, a physically weak, socially withdrawn, and emotionally reserved physicist. The two exist as independent dissociative personalities, and resent each other. Following his accidental exposure to gamma rays saving the life of Rick Jones during the detonation of an experimental bomb, Banner is physically transformed into the Hulk when subjected to emotional stress, at or against his will, often leading to destructive rampages and conflicts that complicate Banner's civilian life. The Hulk's level of strength is normally conveyed as proportionate to his level of anger. Commonly portrayed as a raging savage, the Hulk has been represented with other personalities based on Banner's fractured psyche, from a mindless, destructive force, to a brilliant warrior, or genius scientist in his own right. Despite both Hulk and Banner's desire for solitude, the character has a large supporting cast. This includes Banner's lover Betty Ross, his best friend Rick Jones, his cousin She-Hulk, and therapist and ally Doc Samson. In addition, the Hulk alter ego has many key supporting characters like his co-founders of the superhero team the Avengers, his queen Caiera, fellow warriors Korg and Miek, and sons Skaar and Hiro-Kala. However, his uncontrollable power has brought him into conflict with his fellow heroes and others. Despite this he tries his best to do what's right while battling villains such as Leader, Abomination, Absorbing Man and more. Lee stated that the Hulk's creation was inspired by a combination of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Although the Hulk's coloration has varied throughout the character's publication history, the most usual color is green. One of the most iconic characters in popular culture, the character has appeared on a variety of merchandise, such as clothing and collectable items, inspired real-world structures (such as theme park attractions), and been referenced in a number of media. Banner and the Hulk have been adapted in live-action, animated, and video game incarnations. The character was first played in a live-action feature film by Eric Bana. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character was portrayed by Edward Norton in the film The Incredible Hulk (2008) and by Mark Ruffalo in the films The Avengers (2012), Iron Man 3 (2013) in a cameo, Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Captain Marvel (2019) in a cameo, and Avengers: Endgame (2019). Ruffalo will reprise the role in the upcoming Disney+ series What If...? (2021) and She-Hulk (2022).

After preventing an international nuclear disaster caused by Radioactive Man—who manages to escape—the Avengers face criticism regarding the limits of their actions and their lack of responsibility given the power they possess. Amidst this climate of instability, the mysterious European aristocrat Baron Helmut Zemo emerges from the shadows, determined to prove that the Avengers can be defeated. Secretly, Zemo assembles a group of superpowered criminals: Enchantress, Skurge, Abomination, Crimson Dynamo, Radioactive Man, and Wonder Man, forming the Masters of Evil. More than winning a battle, Zemo wants to destroy the Avengers' symbol, especially Captain America, because of an old connection to Steve Rogers' past. While Enchantress emotionally manipulates Hulk, transforming him into a threat, Radioactive Man and Absorbing Man expose the destructive potential of Thor's powers. The pressure begins to divide the team: Hank Pym fears that the Avengers are causing more chaos than solutions, leading to conflict with Janet. Meanwhile, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers disagree about leadership and responsibility. Steve confronts ghosts from the past linked to Zemo, while Tony questions whether Iron Man has done more harm than good to the world. When the Masters of Evil launch coordinated attacks around the globe, the Avengers realize too late that it was all part of a larger plan: to isolate each hero before the final blow. The confrontation culminates in a massive siege in Washington, where Zemo reveals he has studied each member of the team. For the first time, the Avengers face an enemy that relies not only on strength, but on strategy.
