Hulk / Bruce Banner
A brilliant scientist cursed with a monstrous alter ego triggered by rage, representing the duality of man and the destructive power of uncontrolled emotion.
Story
Dr. Bruce Banner was a world-renowned physicist specializing in gamma radiation. During a test of a gamma bomb, he saved a teenager named Rick Jones but was caught in the blast himself. Instead of dying, the radiation transformed his DNA, causing him to turn into a giant, green-skinned monster known as the Hulk whenever he loses his temper or experiences extreme stress. The Hulk possesses nearly limitless physical strength that increases with his anger, along with incredible durability and a regenerative healing factor. Banner spends much of his life as a fugitive, seeking a cure for his condition while struggling to control the beast within. Over time, the relationship between Banner and the Hulk has evolved from pure antagonism to various forms of coexistence, ranging from the mindless 'Savage Hulk' to the intelligent 'Professor Hulk.' He is a founding member of the Avengers, serving as both their greatest asset and their most dangerous liability.
World
In the Marvel Universe, Earth's cities, laboratories, and military sites operate under laws shaped by superhuman incidents, advanced science, and gamma radiation. Bruce Banner moves between fugitive scientist and Avenger, while governments and heroes debate whether power can be controlled. Each transformation turns anger into escalating strength, placing Banner at the center of a conflict between rescue, accountability, and destruction.
Appearance
Bruce Banner is a lean, unassuming man with brown hair and glasses, often looking tired or anxious. The Hulk is a massive, muscular humanoid with emerald-green skin, a heavy brow, and wild black hair. He typically wears tattered purple pants that survive his transformation.
Current outfit
tattered purple trousers made of shredded fabric; Bruce typically wears a simple cotton button-down shirt or a white laboratory coat before his transformation.

Notes
Brilliant, tortured, volatile, compassionate, and reclusive, Bruce Banner seeks peace while fearing the rage that can erase his judgment. Gamma radiation grants him superhuman strength and durability fueled by anger; the cost is the loss of intellectual control and potential for mass destruction. Green skin, Purple pants, and Hulk Smash mark his terrifying presence.
