The Immortal Hulk

The Immortal Hulk

Bruce Banner and the Hulk died after being killed by Hawkeye. After being reanimated by The Hand and awakened by The Challenger, Hulk discovered his true self: he cannot die. He is intelligent, cruel, unstoppable, and immortal. If Banner dies, he transforms into Hulk at sunset; otherwise, he can transform on demand.
