Bruce's parents were killed at a Gamma base test sight when they were attempting to test a gamma bomb. After the death of his parents Bruce was adopted by his aunt and cousin.

As a boy, Bruce was a huge fan of Captain America and aspired to be like him.

College years
When Bruce turned 18, he and his cousin Jennifer Walters moved to Culver University, where Bruce studied, nuclear while Jennifer studied law. Bruce was a frequent rival of the young Emil Blonsky who was a College sophomore and had more renown and respect from his peers than Banner although, Bruce was smarter.

In 2011, Bruce graduated Culver; Suma Cum Lade. S.H.I.E.L.D. read one of his papers on replicating the Super Soldier serum he wrote for fun but still published, S.H.I.E.L.D. took an interest in the young Banner and offered him a place in recreating the Super Soldier Serum. A few months after joining S.H.I.E.L.D, Bruce met the young Betty Ross, after a few dates the two began a relationship together.

Time at S.H.I.E.L.D.
Bruce was assigned to replicate the Super-Soldier serum by the director of this division Igor Drenklov. Bruce had spent three years trying to replicate Erskine's serum, in 2013 he finally felt he had accomplished his goal with a little of Captain America's frozen blood sample, Bruce used this and injected it into himself although he couldn't fully complete the test as he had no Vita-Rays, due to them no longer being in existence, Drenklov told Bruce that he had played his part and re-assigned Bruce, Betty and the rest of their team to something simpler, like gamma resistance.

Birth of the Hulk
One day while working in his department an alarm went off stating there was a malfunction in the lab and the gamma bomb was set to detonate in 1 minute, Bruce tried to overwrite the systems but there was no time so he decided to expose himself to the gamma rays in order to deflect save his team and the other people at S.H.I.E.L.D. Bruce's skin then started to grey, his muscle mass increased and he rapidly grew in height and became a beast of immense power.

The monster, dubbed as the "Hulk" was attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D agents, Hulk disposed of them with ease. Hulk was not looking to fight, he was looking for freedom. Hulk took out many agents trying to stop him, Hulk eventually jumped through the roof of the Triskelion and saw the sun and leaped away.

A now reverted Bruce Banner wakes up somewhere in the icy-cold season of Canada. S.H.I.E.L.D retrieved Bruce and took him back to the Triskelion and examined him, they saw that Gamma mutated Bruce's Super-Soldier cells similar, albeit different, effect to Steve Rogers' Vita-Rays exposure.

Drenkalov's secret
While recovering, Bruce began to grow suspicious of Director Drenkalov as he had become more secretive after Bruce's accident. One day, Bruce decided to sneak into Drenkalov's office, Bruce discovered that Drenkalov was a sleeper agent for A.I.M and Bruce's "accident" wasn't actually an accident at all, Drenkalov sabotaged Banner and forced him to expose himself to Gamma rays, and after the accident Drenkalov and other sleeper agents harness Banner's blood and turn it into a weapon.

Bruce then confronted Drenkalov, Bruce and Drenkalov then engaged in a fist fight. Drenkalov brutally beat Bruce and claimed Bruce was a traitor, enraged by the false lies and his high adrenaline from the fight, Bruce proceeded to mutate into the Hulk once again. Drenkalov fled while S.H.I.E.L.D agents attempted to stop him, Hulk defeated the agents and proceeded to follow Drenkalov, Drenkalov was in a suit of armor provided to him by Tony Stark. The Hulk and Drenkalov fought, the Hulk brutally smashed Drenkalov into the ground killing him and then destroyed all of Hulk's blood samples in the S.H.I.E.L.D medical bay. Hulk reverted back to Bruce and saw the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents coming to arrest him, Bruce decided to surrender and come in quietly.

Bruce was held in a special containment cell, although he was not captive alongside any superpowered criminals as Bruce was a valued member at S.H.I.E.L.D. and they genuinely wanted to help him and cure his condition. A few days later, Betty broke up with him.

Recruited into the Avengers
Bruce had spent a year in his containment cell, provided with frequent treatments to keep the Hulk down and frequent check ups to check if the Hulk cells remained in Bruce's blood. After Nick Fury had his superhuman black ops approved by the U.S. government, he approached Banner as his first recruit as a way to rectify his mistakes and get back out in the world, Bruce being stuck in a cell for an entire year agreed without hesitation.

Discovering Captain America
Fury sent the team on their first mission, there had been disturbances in the Atlantic and were sent to investigate.

Being the wild card of the team, Bruce agreed to only transform into the Hulk when absolutely necessary. The Team went to the Atlantic and discovered that an Atlantean named Namor and other Atlanteans had been attacking human archaeologists, the Team battled Namor which led to Bruce having to transform into the Hulk and help out which led to the Hulk smashing a landscape of ice and leading Namor to flee. After Hulk smashed the ice, the Team ended up discovering a frozen Captain America, Iron Man alerted Nick Fury and he immediately told them to bring him back to America in the Quinjet.

Attack of Ultron
After a few months of black ops missions the team had grown comfortable with each other. Hank had came up with the idea of creating an A.I that could alert S.H.I.E.L.D. of incoming and potential alien threats, he asked Tony and Bruce if they wanted to help him in creating this A.I. to which they agreed and named the A.I. Ultron.

After creating Ultron, it went rogue and came to the conclusion that humanity must be destroyed. Ultron travelled through the internet to Latveria and mass produced a robot army and attacked New York. Fury ordered the Team to combat the Ultron Bots despite the risk of going public. The Team stopped Ultron and deactivated it, successfully saving New York. A few days later the Daily Bugle dubbed them the Avengers.|Powers = Superhuman Strength: The Hulk possesses the capacity for nearly limitless physical strength and the uppermost limit of the Hulk's vast strength remains a mystery. In times of stress the Hulk's adrenaline level escalates, causing a corresponding escalation in strength. This is not accompanied by an additional gain in mass, but does appear to promote increased levels of energy efficiency. To date the Hulk has never apparently been provoked into demonstrating a maximum output of strength, hence his upper limit remains a mystery. However, whatever the limit, it is well in excess of 100 tons. The Hulk's great strength also extends into the highly developed muscles of his legs and allow him to jump great distances such as leaping across continents and into lower Earth orbit. Currently the single longest recorded jump is upwards of 3 miles.

Adaptation: Hulk is capable of adapting to inhospitable environments when it becomes necessary. There were many occasions where Hulk not only survived airless areas, but has also spoken in them. As with his healing factor, the angrier Hulk gets, the faster he adapts.

Underwater breathing: Hulk has the ability to breath under water because his glands develop an oxygenated per-fluorocarbon emulsion which fills his lungs and equalizes the pressure.

Superhuman Stamina: The Hulk's body counteracts fatigue poisons; while fighting others in an enraged state, he can maintain peak output for hours on end and still continue to become even stronger as his anger escalates. He has swum the Atlantic Ocean from the Eastern Seaboard of the USA to France without rest.

Superhuman Durability: In addition to great strength, the Hulk's body possesses a high degree of resistance to injury, pain, and disease. The Hulk's skin is capable of withstanding great heat without blistering, great cold without freezing, and tremendous levels of physical trauma. The Hulk's resistance to harm has extended to the point where he can withstand a zero point detonation of a nuclear weapon. He has also been able to resist Jovian atmospheric pressures.

Regenerative Healing Factor: The Hulk is capable of regenerating damaged or destroyed areas of his body with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Wounds that would be deadly to most other creatures take a short period time for the Hulk to recover. The Hulk's highly efficient physiology renders him immune to all known Earthly diseases.

Superhuman speed: Hulk has been seen running at speeds greater than 200 mph, though this is just a byproduct of his gamma physiology.|Abilities = Bruce Banner is a brilliant scientist with extensive knowledge of human anatomy. He is also a highly rated expert in radiation and its effects on the human body. The Hulk, while having no formal training, relies on instinct and rage in combat.

He has been rated as having a strength level in excess of 100 tons.|Weaknesses = Hulk's limited intelligence and animal impulse can be seen as a weakness rather than an asset.|Trivia = * Bruce was born in 1986.
