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]

Despite the unlikely union of those five heroes saving the world from Loki's threat, many doubts and questions remain about the Avengers. People, whether from the public or the media, still have difficulty seeing them as heroes. But can you blame them? They have in their ranks a pagan god, a creature responsible for death and destruction, who until yesterday was an enemy of the state, a pair of heroes who aren't all that great, and a man known for his lack of common sense and arrogance. It's not exactly a dream team. Wanting to recreate the experiment that gave the Fantastic Four their powers, Simon Utrecht and his colleagues try to replicate it, generating an explosion that caught the attention of the Avengers. Even with the heroes' interference, it somehow worked, with their physiognomies changing thanks to the radiation exposure, gaining powers. They soon become the U-Foes, a team of heroes, sharing the spotlight with the Avengers. They quickly become New York's favorite heroes, despite the mess they usually leave behind when involved, which doesn't usually make it into the media. It's then that the Avengers discover that many of the incidents the U-Foes are involved in are staged, all just publicity stunts, putting other people's lives at risk for fame. This makes a confrontation between the teams inevitable. Especially when the U-Foes decide that New York is too small for them and the Avengers, leading them to attack the team.
