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 Robert Bruce Banner, a physically weak, socially withdrawn, and emotionally reserved physicist.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).

Now that he's an Avenger, Bruce's life is calmer. He's managed to build his relationship with Betty, the army is no longer hunting him, and he's working with SHIELD on other gamma cases. However, he knows that as the Hulk, everything ends at some point. Soon, he begins to have strange dreams and feels the Hulk changing, no longer just an emotionless beast, with the Emerald Goliath beginning to gain personality and self-awareness, which makes it difficult for Bruce to control him and especially his rage. Right at the moment a gamma creature similar to the Hulk attacks General Ross, leading to suspicion about Bruce, including from Banner himself. While investigating, with the help of Betty and Rick, Bruce discovers Samuel Stern, a scientist he worked with on the gamma bomb project, who was also affected, changing like Bruce, but in a different way. Stern, or Leader as he prefers to be called, wants to give the world the same gift he received, the gamma mutation that made him a superior being. And for that, he relies on the ex-soldier Emil Blonsk, who has become the Abomination and seeks revenge against Hulk and General Ross. This forces the two former enemies to work together to deal with these new threats that target them both, if they want to survive to face tomorrow. The question is, can they put aside their differences and points of view to work together, or will they let their differences get in the way, which will lead to the end of both of them?
