Ultimate Hulk

Ultimate Hulk

Bruce Banner always wanted to be stronger. As a genius scientist working for the government, Banner worked tirelessly at recreating the Super Soldier Serum that created Captain America. His imperfect serum cursed him with transformation into the Hulk during emotional distress, granting immense strength, incredible durability, and adaptation to threats. Despite gaining control, the Manhattan Crisis where he killed over 800 people tarnished his reputation. He embraced his dark side, joined The Maker against humanity, then returned to fighting for good.
