Banner,

fantastic
physicist who physically
transforms into the Hulk
under emotional stress and other specific circumstances at will or against it;
these involuntary transformations lead to many complications in Banner's life.
When transformed, the Hulk often acts as a dissociated personality separate
from Banners personality.
The real name of the Dr. Banner(alias Hulk) is David Bruce Banner; he was born
in California. He graduated with honors in medicine, radiology and genetics. He
became a professor of biology but he started to do some research on emotional
impulses and the gamma rays.
After his university profession, Banner works at a laboratory where he focuses
its research to discovery the hidden superhuman strength that every human
being in case of danger is able to take advantage.
Banner studying some subjects that in dangerous cases have sported an
unusual physical strength for a human being, and concludes that exposure to
gamma radiation could allow a conscious use of that energy.
Banner submit your body to a bombardment of gamma rays, ignoring that the
power of the machines had been recalibrated. It follows that his body absorbs
an accidental overdose.
from this event every time that he has impulses of anger or fear, he trasforms
into Hulk that is a big and terrible monster that has big powers but with a small
QI.

normal, and , addition to ensuring An amazing physical strength , It gives
healing and regenerative capacity unexpected : broken bones are repaired in

Stan Lee said that for the Hulk's creation was inspired by a combination of
Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The coloration of Hulk is green, but
initially this character was gray because the gray is the color that rapresent a
thing without emotions, and he adopted this color because it not rapresent an
etnic group.
laboratory. They find Mr. Hyde dead on the floor, with Dr. Jekyll nowhere to be
found.
Mr. Utterson finds several documents left to him, and goes back home to read
both Mr. Lanyons narrative and Dr. Jekylls narrative, which, it turns out, are
two parts of the same story. Since were at the end of the story, author Robert
Louis Stevenson figured it was about time to tell us what happened at the
beginning. So we discover (through the documents left by the dead men) the
following: by means of a potion, Dr. Jekyll was able to transform into Mr. Hyde
and give into a world of pleasure and self-serving crime. In his narrative, Dr.
Jekyll writes that Mr. Hyde became ever more powerful and ever harder to
controlin essence, the dominant personality.
The comparisons:
There are two connection between the Dr.Jeckill/Mr.Hyde and the
Dr.Banner/Hulk; the first between the two men of science, Henry Jekyll and
Bruce Banner, competing for a government grant. Because the government has
long since lost its marbles, the method of competition isnt based on research,
scientific evidence, or educational background. Instead, the person who wins in
hand-to-hand combat gets the money. The Bureau on Scientific Research
gathers its board members in a massive gladiatorial arena, and places Jekyll
and Banner in the center.
The two scientists go for each others throats, but find that neither of them
have any sort of idea how to actually fight. Banner figures to have a slight
edge, since hes a weapons designer and all, but it turns out hes pretty useless
once you take gamma bombs and other unreliable weapons of mass
destruction or mutation out of the equation. So what we really have is a pair of
gentlemanly scientists slapping each other around like sissies. Both of them are
98-pound weaklings, so neither of them actually do any damage with their
blows. The fight quickly becomes so boring that the board of scientists, who are
obviously drunk as well as crazy, start booing and throwing garbage into the
area. One of them brains Banner with a whiskey bottle, and his eyes start
glowing green. Jekyll, on the other hand, has a massive inferiority complex, and
doesnt like being made fun of. He too begins to transform.
The second connection is between Hyde and the Hulk emerge from deep within
their hosts subconscious. The Hulk is a half-ton mass of gamma powered
muscle and fury; Hyde is a small monkey-like creature with a nasty disposition.
Seeing that hes not going to stand a chance in a straight-up fight against the
Hulk, Hyde goes for a distraction instead. Hyde gestures toward the crowd and
points out that the drunken crazy scientific board is making fun of them.
Unhappy at being mocked, the Hulk agrees to team up with Hyde against the
scientists. This is simply a matter of the Hulk ripping the stadiums bleachers
out and tossing them into the Pacific Ocean. The entire scientific board drowns.
Considering their state of mind thats probably a good thing.
