Marvel inc who is the hulk

Thanks to his FF origin, he was a Fox character until now and even featured in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, should you care to recall it.

A recent take on the Surfer or Norrin Radd, if you prefer and his adventures was basically Marvel's answer to Doctor Who — a proposition that sounds like quite a good fit for the MCU, we think.

One of Fox's most successful superhero anti-hero outings is Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool. The Merc with a Mouth may be slightly too surly for the family-friendly Disney-owned MCU, though, and fans are worried he'll have to tone down his profanity.

Watch options. Storyline Edit. Depicting the events after the Gamma Bomb. Whilst on the run from military which seeks his capture, Banner comes close to a cure.

But all is lost when a new creature emerges: The Abomination. On June 13, get ready to unleash the beast. After seeing Bruce leave with the aliens, the press believed that he had heroically sacrificed himself to save the president's daughter. Armageddon wanted the Hulk's help in resurrecting his son Trauma with the device the Leader had previously used to bring Marlo back to life.

The device needed a very large gamma power source in order to work and he planned on sacrificing the Hulk to do it. Bruce refused, but the Hulk agreed and stepped into the machine.

During the process, however, the Hulk gave off too much radiation and incinerated Trauma's body. Armageddon agreed to live in peace out of fear of punishment from the Silver Surfer, but after the Hulk left, he leveled Freehold and killed everyone living there, including the gamma beings Jailbait and Hotshot.

Bruce was given a secret pardon for his crimes as the Hulk for saving the president's daughter. Just when everything started going right with the Hulk, Betty nearly died due to gamma radiation poisoning that resulted from her time with the Hulk. Bruce was able to find a cure using his blood in a transfusion. But then she was pushed over the edge by the transfusion when the Abomination secretly switched it with his blood instead as revenge.

Bruce went insane and tried to kill himself seconds after Betty was pronounced dead. Banner began coming up with elaborate scenarios to kill himself, but he would always transform into the Hulk seconds before death. Bruce figured out the truth behind Betty's death when he went to the homeworld of the Watcher and was given infinite knowledge.

He returned to Earth to get revenge on the Abomination, but he let him go. Confronting General Ross, Banner told him that they were both to blame for Betty's death.

Due to the deteriorating effects of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS and the chaos ravaging his mindscape, [] Banner struck a deal with the Hulk's three dominant personalities--the Green Hulk, the Gray "Joe Fixit" Hulk and the "Professor" Hulk--essentially to time-share their existence in return for stabilizing his fractured psyche and providing him with release from his disease.

The transformation back into Bruce Banner triggered a catalytic reaction that repaired the damage to Bruce's cellular structure and cured the disease. The original Defenders , including the Hulk, re-formed when Yandroth surfaced again to menace the world. Though the heroes defeated his plan, Yandroth used his sorcery to levy a deathbed curse upon their heads, binding them to come together in times of crisis.

They became the Order, seeking to end all threats to the Earth by taking control of it. Other heroes fought them, and the energies unleashed by the battle were harnessed to resurrect and further empower Yandroth. Coming to their senses, the Defenders stopped fighting and Yandroth was reduced back to his human form, defeated, and imprisoned.

Banner sought refuge and peace in Alaska , where he lived as a hermit loosely connected to the town community. He was eventually tracked down by Nick Fury of S. Sent up as the Hulk, he discovered that the Godseye was actually a rogue S. In the ensuing battle, the Godseye found that though it could try, it could not match the increasing power of the Hulk, since it was unable to duplicate Banner's unique ability to channel gamma energy even if it could duplicate the energy itself, and it exploded.

Seizing the opportunity to be rid of the Hulk, a group of superheroes known as the Illuminati decided to jettison the shuttle into space to a planet with no intelligent lifeforms. Unfortunately, there was a navigation error, and the Hulk landed on the planet Sakaar , a world filled with barbarian tribes, gladiator battles and ruled by a corrupt empire. The planet was situated near a portal, which gave it access to several different cultures and technologies.

The Hulk was captured and became a gladiator. The Hulk subsequently ushered an uprising, overthrowing the current regime. Installing himself as king, the Hulk met and fell in love with a queen named Caiera Oldstrong. Together, they ushered in a new age of peace and prosperity for Sakaar.

Caiera became pregnant with the Hulk's child, but died when the shuttle that brought the Hulk to Sakaar suddenly exploded, killing millions of people. With his allies, the Warbound , the Hulk rode atop the prow of an alien warship as it set course for Earth. Reaching the moon, the Hulk defeated the Illuminati member Black Bolt -- who was actually a Skrull impersonating Black Bolt -- not the real one.

The Hulk then proceeded to New York City, where he demanded that the city be evacuated and the presence of the Illuminati. As the time limit for the evacuation of New York had passed, the Hulk defeated Iron Man, and Avengers Tower was destroyed in the process. The heroes engaged the Hulk and his Warbound, but were defeated.

Army to dispatch the Hulk. Alongside his Warbound, he transformed an area near Madison Square Garden into a gladiatorial arena. Doctor Strange, mystically invoking a powerful old enemy, Zom , battled the Hulk. Barely holding back the demon Zom, Doctor Strange began to exhibit some of the demon's own traits. Strange sent the Hulk crashing into a building that crumbled upon him and the innocent bystanders who had gathered to watch the fight.

The Hulk had protected the innocent bystanders. Distraught by his actions almost killing innocents, Doctor Strange stopped fighting, and, uncaring, the Hulk gave Strange a lesson on control and pummeled him into the ground. The Hulk had them fight each other. In the end the Hulk spared them, declaring he intended justice and not murder. Soon, a nearly insane Sentry arrived on the scene and a cataclysmic battle ensued between him and the Hulk.

Sentry unleashed forces that nearly destroyed what was left of New York, but ultimately, it was a stalemate between the two. In their human forms, Bruce Banner was able to knock out Bob Reynolds. Warbound member Miek impaled the Hulk's longtime friend Rick Jones, and revealed that he had intentionally allowed the mass deaths on Sakaar to happen, knowing they were caused by former followers of the Red King and not the Illuminati.

Betrayed and enraged, the Hulk unwillingly began releasing energy that threatened the Eastern Seaboard, and prompted Tony Stark to activate a series of satellite devices that opened fire and eventually left the Hulk in his Bruce Banner form, whom the devices rendered unconscious. While Banner was incarcerated at Gamma Base, a new mystery revealed itself when the Abomination was found murdered in his homeland of Russia.

The perpetrator soon revealed himself as a massive creature referring to itself as the Red Hulk. Banner was set free when the clash between the Red Hulk and A-Bomb caused an earthquake that damaged his prison. The potential threat to Banner's life triggered his transformation into the original green Hulk, and he wasted no time in confronting his new nemesis. The Hulk, caught unprepared for the Red Hulk's fighting style, was defeated in their first meeting and suffered a broken arm in the process, but the outcome was much different during their second meeting where the Hulk found a potential weakness in the Red Hulk and exploited it.

Once the Red Hulk was beaten, the Hulk left without finding out the Red Hulk's true identity; however, Banner began spending his time trying to track down the Red Hulk before he could do more damage. Marvel , Moon Knight , and even Brother Voodoo to quell a pack of Wendigo from devouring everyone inside a casino. Meanwhile, on Sakaar, the Hulk's thought-dead son, Skaar , had risen. Skaar was progeny of Hulk and Caiera the Oldstrong. After Caiera's death a cocoon containing Skaar fell into the lake of fire.

After a period of time, Skaar emerged from the cocoon, appearing to be the age equivalent to a human preteen. He quickly grew into what seemed to be an adult. Skaar wanted revenge on the Hulk because he felt the Hulk had abandoned him and his world to death. Skaar was exiled from his planet and was warped to Earth.

Skaar confronted his father, who was then in his savage persona. Skaar was disgusted with his father's diminished intelligence. The Hulk engaged Skaar in a fight, which created a fissure that endangered a nuclear power plant. The Warbound were trying to prevent a nuclear catastrophe when they were unexpectedly aided by the Hulk and Skaar. Skaar, using the Old Power , sealed the containment building and saved the workers at the plant. Skaar subsequently impaled the Hulk and left, claiming he would come back when he was worth killing.

Sometime later, the Grandmaster came to the Hulk with a proposition: if the Hulk chose to participate in a game and won, Grandmaster would bring his love, Jarella, back to life. The Hulk agreed, and was told he could pick a group of allies to aid him in the game. When the time came to meet their opponents, the Collector appeared with the Hulk's nemesis, the Red Hulk, and his team -- consisting of Baron Mordo , Terrax , and Tiger Shark -- and known as the Offenders.

The Grandmaster gave the Savage Hulk Bruce Banner's mind and had each team member transported to the times and places from which the Hulk had gathered the Defenders. The Hulk faced off against the Red Hulk in Atlantis , where the Red Hulk pierced the Hulk's heart with a cosmic energy-charged trident.

The Hulk was eventually revived by the Grandmaster, after which he knocked out the Red Hulk with one punch. Afterwards, Banner was captured by A. The plot was uncovered by the She-Hulk. To infiltrate an A. A battle soon ruptured the tank containing Banner, causing him to transform into the Hulk. When the two Hulks clashed, the Red Hulk used his radiation absorption abilities to steal the gamma energy from inside the Hulk, preventing him from ever becoming the Hulk again.

As the base reached critical mass, the defenseless Bruce Banner was rescued by a now-intelligent A-Bomb. In the aftermath of the explosion, Norman Osborn sent Ares to learn if Banner could still turn into the Hulk.

When Ares attacked Banner, Rick rushed to his defense, but was quickly defeated. Ares was soon outsmarted by Banner, and he was locked inside a room built to hold the Hulk. After evading Ares, Bruce and Rick parted ways. Banner confronted Skaar in the Mojave Desert.

After much deliberation, Skaar grudgingly agreed to allow Bruce Banner to train him on how to defeat the Hulk, should he ever return. Bruce then assembled his own group of Avengers to try and save Betty. Bruce was captured by the Leader and hooked up to a virtual reality machine. Bruce then absorbed all the energy to contain it at the behest of Reed Richards. Doc Samson died trying to help. The Helicarrier crashed, and from the rubble, there emerged a new incarnation of the Hulk, who came to be called the Worldbreaker Hulk.

Skaar had his chance to fight the Hulk at last. During the confrontation, the Hulk rescued innocent bystanders endangered by their fight. Skaar reacted to this act of compassion by ceasing his assault, but the Hulk continued his, causing Skaar to revert to human form. The Hulk was reminded of Banner's own abusive father and reverted to human form as well, recognizing that he would never be able to continue that fight without Bruce becoming Brian Banner.

Banner apologized and embraced his son, and Skaar accepted his love. However, the Hulk showed up to foil his plan. Banner was put in charge of countering the program and learned how to shut it down with clues from the depowered M.

Banner assisted the Red Hulk and shut down the Living Supercomputer running Scorched Earth, not knowing that this was a distraction created by M.

K to cover the trail of his cloned successor, M. K Superior. The Hulk's other son, and Skaar's twin, Hiro-Kala , set his sights on Earth, planning to destroy it with the planet K'ai. Hiro-Kala was confronted by his father.

Skaar used his own old power to seal Hiro-Kala in a sphere of stone. Hiro-Kala was merged with the Worldmind to create a miniature sun, to use the Old Power to warm K'ai. After a wishing well's power was unleashed, the Hulk found himself facing some of his mightiest foes. One of them was the alien warlord Arm'Cheddon. He then revealed that he had reconfigured his power-channeling abilities so that he could channel the Hulk's energy; the stronger the Hulk got, the stronger he got.

When the Red She-Hulk interfered with the conflict, he hit her with the full force of his power. In a rage, the Hulk defeated Arm'Cheddon. When the Serpent was freed by Skadi , he called seven hammers to Earth. Opposed by Dracula's forces, including a legion of monsters, Nul was seemingly unstoppable. Throwing aside the hammer, the Hulk regained control, and promptly left upon realizing "Betty's" true nature. In truth, the Hulk resorted to Doctor Doom to separate himself from Bruce Banner, resulting in him removing the portion of the brain controlled by Banner and moving it to a gamma-free cloned body of Bruce Banner.

The Hulk helped the Mad Squad Doom's team to assault an island which Banner used as a base, where he was creating gamma-mutated animals in a series of experiments to become the Hulk again. The attack resulted in Banner's vaporization in a gamma bomb, which resulted in Bruce Banner again sharing the Hulk's mind, but still with his insane mind, and the Hulk refused to have any memories of his time as Banner.

With the transformation shifted so that the Hulk was the 'dominant' persona, reverting to Banner when he became too calm, Bruce Banner led the Hulk to a journey in different locations around the world, including an old Russian space station, the City of Sasquatches ; there, he protected the Sasquatch from Kraven the Hunter , and an old S.

The recording of Banner revealed that he had finally discovered the cure for the Hulk, the components of which being what the Hulk had been gathering throughout his "journey;" however, Banner also revealed that he was no longer interested in controlling the Hulk, having come to recognize that he was a better person with the Hulk than he would have been without him. This prompted the two personas to join forces again to investigate Doom's latest plan, using the gamma cure that Banner had devised to restore the animals on Banner's former island headquarters to normal.

Bruce's reunion with his persona as the Hulk caused a reversion of the Hulk's intelligence. While spending time alone in the American desert, the Hulk was caught in the middle of a conflict between the army and Aquarius of the Zodiac. After officially returning to the Avengers' ranks, [] Bruce Banner approached S. Bruce's intelligence could be used to create new technology for the betterment of humanity, and the Hulk's strength would be used against S.

During his tenure working for S. One of Bruce's own S. After coming to the conclusion that the world was in danger due to its many Gamma mutates, Doc Green determined that they needed to be neutralized. He developed a serum made from Adamantium nanobots that absorbed gamma energy [16] and used it to depower A-Bomb, [] Skaar , [] Red She-Hulk , [] the Gamma Corps , [] and finally, the Red Hulk.

Doc Green additionally realized that his intellect was slowly declining and would eventually return to its normal levels, those of the original primality of the Hulk.

When an experimental fusion reactor started melting down, Bruce used the Hulk to absorb all of its radiation. The Hulk's friend Amadeus Cho assisted the Hulk, and in the process of saving his life, he used special nanites to transfer Banner's powers to himself. Banner became agitated, and Hawkeye shot him in the head with an arrow equipped with a special custom-built tip. Bruce's body was stolen by the ninja clan known as The Hand shortly after his funeral. Banner reverted to his human form and died in the process.

Shortly before the destruction of the Underground's base, The Mount, his body deteriorated and he again died. The Hulk's third consecutive resurrection came by the hand of the Challenger , an exiled Elder of the Universe who had returned for a rematch against the Grandmaster. He related to the Hulk's rage, and brought him back to life to act as his ace in the hole during the final round of a contest between each of the Elders' teams, the Black Order and the Lethal Legion , whose objective had been to seize the Pyramoids deployed on Earth by their masters during each round.

During the final round, the Hulk rampaged to the Avengers Auxiliary Headquarters , where Voyager , the Grandmaster's own secret agent within the Avengers, had teleported the final Pyramoid. When the Pyramoid was within his grasp, the Hulk destroyed it instead, costing the Challenger his victory.

Following his return, the Hulk was targeted by enemies in two fronts. The U. Hulk Operations, rebranded as Shadow Base and led by General Fortean , set out to capture and analyze the Hulk, [] while the demonic and otherworldly entity known as the One Below All began to use the soul of Bruce's father Brian to influence the land of the living from the Below-Place , the deepest layer of reality even below Hell itself, and the secret source of gamma radiation.

By absorbing the Hulk's gamma energy, Creel became possessed by Brian, [] who used him to absorb all the residual gamma radiation from the gamma bomb's detonation, opening a Green Door that plunged him and the Hulk into the Below-Place, as well as a third party interested in the Hulk also present at the scene, the task force Gamma Flight. The Absorbing Man funneled gamma energy into the Hulk, giving him the strength to disperse the One Below All with a single thunderclap.

Due to the traumatic experience in the Below-Place, Bruce reached out to Betty Ross, with whom he hadn't established contact since returning from the dead.

Together with Samson, the Hulk investigated Shadow Base and the disappearance of the body of Rick Jones, who had died during Hydra's short-lived empire. As a result, he became tangled in the efforts of Venom to stop Carnage from awakening an ancient symbiote god named Knull by retrieving the traces of symbiotes left in the bodies, dead or alive, of anybody who had ever been bonded to one.

When Rick awoke, he shared with Bruce and his allies the location of the Shadow Base's headquarters. They assaulted Shadow Base, [] joining forces with Gamma Flight in the process, who were coincidentally raiding the facility at the same time. In the aftermath, Banner seized command of Shadow Base's assets, [] and set out to use its resources to wage war on the human world for their abuse of the environment, sparking a counterculture movement in the process that embraced his ideals.

Sterns had additionally infiltrated Bruce Banner's circles, having taken control of Rick Jones' mind and having infiltrated Bruce's mindscape by taking over his Green Scar alter. Due to this, Savage Hulk became the Hulk's main manifestation again.

The Leader eventually made his move when he used Rick Jones to overload the Hulk with gamma, causing him to decimate a town where he was present. Devil Hulk managed to break free when the Leader attempted to bring Bruce to the Below-Place, [58] but the ill-timed intervention of the childish Savage Hulk to stop the conflict resulted in Sterns seemingly killing the manifestation of the Devil Hulk alter.

In the Below-Place, Leader hooked Banner and the remains of the Devil Hulk to plant-like structures for some unrevealed purpose.

Gyrich informed Hulk that he would get to decide what happened to him. He also told Hulk that the manacles that held him could adjust in size, thus becoming Banner wouldn't get him free. Joe Fixit, however, was able to transform into Banner by emerging from the Hulk's body like a cocoon. Joe then knocked out Gyrich and the guards that were with him. Joe then used a gun he took from one of the guard to break open the space station's window and flee into outer space.

Joe transformed into Savage Hulk, allowing him to withstand the reentry through Earth's atmosphere. Hulk landed near Coney Island where he was confronted by the Thing as he got ashore. The two then talked it out, and Thing decided to let Hulk go. Savage Hulk had been greatly weakened after having his gamma energy drained by the Leader after he took Banner and the Devil Hulk.

So, Joe Fixit used thievery and scams to survive and tried to avoid becoming a hero so he didn't draw attention to himself. After witnessing two police officers harass a member of the Teen Brigade , however, Joe Fixit decided to be a hero and transformed into Savage Hulk to aid the teen.

After scaring off the police officers, Hulk was attacked by the U-Foes who were hired by Henry Gyrich to take him out. After finding Hulk, X-Ray finished Hulk off with a blast of anti-gamma rays cosmic rays , killing him. Unexpectedly, as X-Ray of the U-Foes bombarded Hulk's corpse with cosmic rays to prevent him from resurrecting, Joe Fixit was transformed into a Red Hulk and used his newfound power to smash through the Red Door, allowing him and Savage Hulk to escape.

Joe then resurrected in the body of the Savage Hulk, no longer emaciated and with cosmic power running through him, much to the shock of the U-Foes. With his strength restored, Joe easily overwhelmed the U-Foes to the point where Vector was forced to send Joe flying toward Manhattan with his telekinesis to save him and his team. After learning the U-Foes had let the Hulk get away, Gyrich swallowed his pride and asked the Avengers for help.

The Avengers confronted Joe at a bar where he was having a few drinks. During the fight, She-Hulk unexpectedly turned on her fellow Avengers to aid her cousin after learning from Betty that she also seen the Green Door. Joe and Betty then decided to make up and kiss. Later, Joe and Betty had intercourse in a hotel room.

The two then had a heart-to-heart talk where Joe admitted he left Bruce Banner in the Below-Place and Betty revealed that she liked how Joe never hid anything from her but became upset after remembering that he used to be a criminal enforcer in Las Vegas.

Tired of Bruce and his personas keeping secrets from her, Betty decided to leave again. Joe was reluctant to pass through at first, but he was motivated to by Jackie who passed through the Forever Gate with him. After arriving to the Below-Place, Joe Fixit and Savage Hulk separated into different beings and journeyed with Jackie through the Below-Place until they came across a fortress the Leader built to protect himself. Savage Hulk entered first and later Joe and Jackie.

Joe and Savage Hulk fought a monstrously transformed Leader but were quickly overwhelmed. After coming to terms with her past, Jackie unleashed a beam of energy from her eyes that hurt the Leader, allowing Joe and Savage Hulk to separate the Leader from the One Below All and rescuing Bruce Banner.

Banner merged back with Joe Fixit and Savage Hulk, and after receiving clothing from Reed Richards snuck out of the Baxter Building and into the outside world. Bruce Banner suffered severe trauma as a child inflicted by his father, and repressed it in his subconsciousness. This abuse resulted in the young Bruce Banner developing dissociative identity disorder and the early emergence of several alternate personalities.

This condition was compounded later in life by the traumatic explosion that triggered his initial transformation into the Hulk, [55] and further stimulated the emergence of other aspects of his personality.

Following his Gamma accident, many of his alters now take Hulk forms, though some, like Joe Fixit, can remain in human form when they switch. It was revealed by Doctor Samson that exposure to concentrated levels of gamma energy brings about the expression of the deepest parts of the collective unconscious. Particularly in the case of Bruce Banner, it stimulated the expression of a repressed fury that played an essential role in his transformation into the Hulk.

He finally sublimated his grief and rage over his childhood, diverting the drives spawned by his sufferings into the relative safety of science. Because of that, Banner is often trying to hide his emotional damage, resulting predominantly in social isolation.

Banner became a highly withdrawn intellectual unable to cope with emotions. However, Bruce Banner is a self-sacrificing and heroic person. Endowed with a super-genius intellect, he is also one of the most brilliant and resourceful minds on Earth. Banner is constantly undertaken his career as a superhero while trying to find a cure for his condition. Banner and Hulk are frequently portrayed as mutually hating each other, but at times Banner strategically acts in full synchrony and consonance with his Hulk persona, thus giving the Hulk a purpose.

During the Planet Hulk and World War Hulk arcs, for example, both acted in full cooperation, and the Immortal Hulk even declared to cherish and care for the Banner persona after all. Banner has also stated that the Hulk's reasoning and intelligence tend to fluctuate depending upon a number of factors at the moment of transformation, resulting in the Hulk's standard persona varying from a raging monster to a more calculating fighter.

The Hulk initially is characterized as a separate entity from Bruce Banner, a distillation of his human anger that gradually develops its own personality and memories separate from Banner's. Banner suffers from "Dissociative Identity Disorder," which stems from the abuse he suffered as a child. The Hulk has many incarnations, each representing a different aspect of Banner's psyche; there are hundreds or possibly thousands of other personalities of the Hulk, but only a few major versions have been seen to date.

Gamma Radiation Physiology: Due to Bruce Banner being exposed to the Gamma Bomb 's radiation culminating in his transformation into a powerful monster, [55] the Incredible Hulk was for several times described as one of the physically most powerful beings in the entire Marvel Universe , [] [] [] with the potential for limitless levels of strength and durability which scales directly with his strength.

Thus, the madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets. Hulk producing incalculable strength to prevent him and all the Defenders from being sucked into a hole in the macrocosm. Super-Genius Intelligence: Doctor Bruce Banner is a super-genius in nuclear physics, [] possessing a mind so brilliant that it cannot be measured by any known intelligence test. Master Combatant: The Hulk is a skillful and capable warrior, demonstrating vast versatility and intuition in the battle, like anticipating and exploiting the weakness of Hyperion.

However, several facts indicate that Banner subconsciously restrains the Hulk. In another occasion, Iron Man has also deduced that Bruce Banner exerts a moderating influence on the Hulk. Multilingual : Banner learned Russian while getting his Ph. The Incredible Hulk is one of the physically strongest beings in the Marvel Universe, and also the strongest mortal to ever walk the planet Earth.

When the Hulk gets enraged his physical strength increases exponentially. The Hulk has no strength limit as his strength varies up to literally unlimited levels, according to the extremely powerful cosmic entity Beyonder. Gamma Radiation Draining: The Hulk is sometimes portrayed as vulnerable to gamma radiation draining by sufficiently powerful energy manipulators. Even previous to these events the Hulk has displayed this potential.

For example, the hero Rom was unable to cure Banner from his condition, [] and the Hulk intentionally overloaded the Armageddon absorption mechanism. Cosmic radiation : Cosmic radiation is the "opposite" of gamma radiation. The Red Hulk then smashed through the Red Door that was keeping him in the Below-Place and Hulk came back to life, empowered by cosmic rays.

Gas Inhalation: Great doses of gas can temporarily neutralize the Hulk. Adamantium and Vibranium Blades: They have been shown capable of piercing the Hulk's skin; Wolverine , X , and the Black Panther 's claws can pierce it. Adrenaline Suppression: Adrenaline inhibitors can be administered via syringes of Adamantium and Vibranium, aiming to revert the transformation.

Amplified quantities can accomplish this purpose. Toxic Substances: Once, Scorpion Carmilla Black injected him with a toxin especially designed to counteract the efficiency of the Hulk's healing factor. However, if the Hulk gets angry enough he can nullify this effect, as he quickly demonstrated. Rage Nullification: The Hulk's rage also can be neutralized; certain individuals can calm the Hulk down.

Betty Ross [] and Sentry [76] successfully calmed the Hulk down in several instances. Telepaths with vast empathy potential can theoretically emulate this effect.

The Inhuman Randall Jessup 's ability to siphon away negative emotions makes him a particularly effective deterrent to the Hulk's rage factor. Strength Increasing Factor: The Hulk normally doesn't achieve high-end strength in the first moments after his transformation. His strength level at any given moment may still be inferior to that of his opponents. Magic: Since the Hulk is empowered by dark magic, [] [] it is not properly a weakness. However, depending upon the Hulk's emotional state, his incarnation, and the power magnitude of the magic manipulator, this could be a potential threat.

Special Conditions: The Hulk can be hurt or killed by Cosmic entities and individuals with similar extraordinary levels of power. Under some conditions, he is more susceptible to mental manipulation by exceptionally powerful telepaths. In this context, the psionic control efficiency is inversely proportional to the Hulk's rage level.

BannerTech PDA: Banner has a mobile operating system that can hack sophisticated systems within moments and seems to be controlled mentally for the most part. It has been shown to protect him from beings as strong as Skaar and the Juggernaut. Banner is able to extend this shield to cover several other people and also redirect the energy to increase his strength.

BannerTech Satchel: Banner has a pocket teleporter in his satchel with which he can reach into his bag and grab things from his lab. BannerTech Wrist-Watch Teleporter: A pocket sized teleport device Banner can spontaneously warp himself and others across vast distanced with. BannerTech Nanoparticulates: microrobotic-particles able to hack and disable technological weapons.

BannerTech Flyspy Cams: A spybot with hosts of scanners that are constantly performing advanced diagnostics on everyone within 50 feet of him, he also uses them to carry out thorough bioscans of a particular set of individuals under his surveillance. Banner used to sew a survival kit into his pants so whenever he woke up, he could survive anywhere. The kit included a needle and thread, a pack of waterproof matches, and a debit card.

BannerTech Stun Gun: Handheld electrode discharging pistol which could be utilized to paralyze and incapacitate opponents, even affecting the likes of the Red Hulk in singular uses. According to Banner, prolonged application of said tool would have overwhelmed his durability and recovery capacity, leaving him indefinitely paralyzed. Hammer of Nul : As one of the Worthy, [] the Hulk used it for melee and ranged combat that even enabled him to take on Thor, wielder of Mjolnir.

When he lost his ability to turn into the Hulk, Banner reversed engineered the Leader's teleportation technology and used it as a transportation device. Marvel Database Explore.
