After graduating high school, Bruce began studying nuclear physics He gained employment with the military at Desert Base, New Mexico, under the command of General "Thunderbolt" Ross. The latter was overseeing the test of Banner's newly-created Gamma Bomb. It was here that Banner met Ross's daughter, Betty, and the two found a mutual attraction. On the day of the bomb's scheduled detonation, Banner saw someone in the testing area. Hoping to rescue him, Banner went into the testing area where he encountered the individual he'd seen: a young teenager named Rick Jones, who had snuck onto the test site on a dare. Banner managed to push Jones to safety. Igor Drenkov allowed the countdown and subsequent detonation to occur. This resulted in Banner being caught in the Gamma Bomb explosion and thus exposed to an incredibly massive amount of gamma radiation. Banner and Jones were later picked up by the base's military personnel and taken back to Desert Base, where they were placed in isolation and observation due to their exposure to gamma radiation. They were still in isolation at sundown when Banner transformed into the Hulk. There is no main villain the government is the antagonists banner must escape and try to control the hulk
