The security guard was played by Lou Ferrigno who was the original Incredible Hulk tv show

The reason they didn't show much of the origin, is because there was another Hulk movie in 2003, not part of the MCU. The producers thought telling the origin with the gamma experiment again would be boring for the audience. They also wanted to tie this into the Super Soldier serum, which will be VERY important in future movies. Also, the security guard who was massive was played by Lou Ferrigno, who played Hulk in the 70s TV series.

There are three easter eggs tied to the comics that some people miss: 1) Ty Burrell's character, Leonard Samson, is called Doc Samson, A gamma irradiated psychologist with green hair. He is super strong like the Hulk but not to his levels. 2) The purple pants were the color he wore for decades. 3) Samuel Sternsbecomes a gamma powered genius called The Leader. He is The Hulk's most formidable antagonist.

There are a number of callbacks to The Incredible Hulk TV Series; more than just the appearance of Lou Ferrigno, the original Hulk from television, in a cameo as another security guard (just as he did in 2003’s Hulk). - The university where Banner worked on the Gamma experiment; Culver University, is a nod to the Culver Institute where Banner worked on the Gamma experiment in the pilot episode of the series. - During the battle between the Hulk and Bromsky/theArmy, two college students recorded the battle. One of the students was named Jack McGee, who was a reporter for the college newspaper. In the series, Jack McGee was a newspaper reporter who pursued Banner and the Hulk throughout the series. - Each time when Banner “hulked out”, you may notice his eyes turned green. In the series, whenever Banner got angry or frustrated, his eyes turned white before the transformation. Also, when Banner said to his co-worker at the bottling plant “Don’t make me hungry, You wouldn’t like me when I’m hungry.”; it was a nod to the line from the series where Banner said “Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.” It was even referenced at the end of the 2003 Hulk movie as well. @Shanelle If you’re interested, look for the pilot episode of The Incredible Hulk series just to see where the roots of this film came from.

The security guard is Lou Ferrigno, the 80s Hulk star.

“Captain America: The First Avenger “ will reaffirm your Marvel journey. Cheers to you Lady Shanelle.

This is my Hulk that should have been in the MCU. Also, the back story was done in the opening credits just like the TV show. Great nod to Bill Bixby. The best film Hulk hands down.

So funny to see your reaction to security guard Lou Ferrigno (longtime bodybuilding competitor of Arnold Schwarzenegger) who played the original Incredible Hulk in the 1980s .

So glad this journey is continuing!

Shannelle - "I like origin stories!" This movie - "Fuck all that origin stuff!"

Terminator? Close, the security guard was the live action Hulk from the famous 1980s TV show. 😂❤ He was one of Arnold’s bodybuilder competitors and friend. ❤

It hurts my heart for you not to know Lou Ferrigno...the original Hulk from the '70s TV series with Bill Bixby as David Banner. They didn't want to use the name Bruce because they thought it wasn't manly enough. Lou is deaf and played the scariest Hulk when I was growing up. (Yes, I'm old). In the original comic story, Bruce was saving a teenager that trespassed onto a Gamma bomb test range. Bruce managed to save the teen but caught the full brunt of the explosion. His body absorbed the gamma radiation causing the Hulk. In the TV series, David Banner wanted to increase his strength after losing his wife in a car accident and he couldn't lift the car off her. He used gamma rays in a lab setting but it went wrong. For the Hulk to return to being Banner he has to be out of danger and calm. (NO SPOILERS)

I tend to forget that this movie is part of the "MCU". It is kind of a bridge from the 2003 "Hulk" made by Universal (that has more of the origin including the relationships between Bruce, Betty, and General Ross). This movie is distributed by Universal as well. So, it is kind of a sequel, shoved into a newly birthed cinematic universe that ends up only keeping some of its parts in latter movies.

As someone who grew up with the Hulk TV show, I was beyond excited to see Lou in the part of the security guard. The guy you called Terminator IS the original Hulk

Stan, the owner of Stanley's (Paul Soles) actually voiced the Spider-Man cartoon in the late 1960s. He was also in 'The Score' film 7 years earlier with Edward Norton. Lots of little easter eggs, like Norton anti-virus on one of the college computers.

Another nod to the original Incredible Hulk series in the movie was, when early on, as Banner was making dinner, he was watching a TV show called "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" which starred Bill Bixby. Bixby played David Banner in the original Incredible Hulk TV show while Ferregino was the actual Hulk in the TV show.

11:22 Well since you asked...The security guard is Lou Ferrigno, the original 1970's TV Hulk.

The kid on the phone, his last name is McGee. In the old TV show there was a reporter who would follow the Hulk named McGee. In the TV show at one point Bruce Banner says Mr McGhee you don't want to make me angry, you might recognize this reference from Dogma, when Ben Affleck killed that cop. Also the true origin was that Banner was working on a gamma bomb for the military and gets caught up in the blast while trying to save a kid that wanders onto the test site. This origin has not been realized on film, yet

As a Hulk fan, I love this movie. This is the Hulk movie I always wanted. The guy at the end is a villain called The Leader. He is as smart as Hulk is strong.

The big security guard was Lou Ferrigno, who played the Hulk in the 1970s TV series. Bill Bixby, the actor who played Bruce Banner in the series, died in 1993, or they probably would have tried to get him a cameo as well.

I actually like Hulk 2003. I like think of it as an unofficial film in the MCU.

The security guard is Lou Ferrigno. He played the Hulk in the original TV series. When Bruce Banner changed Lou Ferrigno took over as the Hulk.

The guard at the University played the Hulk on the television show

Tim Roth as Blonsky is simple but menacing.

You're gonna have to wait for that Hulktush, but it's coming, don't lose hope.

There was a similar Mr. Green/Mr. Blue plot line in the comics, but Mr. Blue was Betty Ross.

18:55 the purple pants are what comic book hulk is known for

Oops the actual origin story was called the hulk . Directed by ang Lee.

Hulk Smash!

33:43 - This is a repeat of Big Red accidentally watching The Amazing Spiderman BEFORE the Bully McGuire ones. 😂 Also: Yes, they didn't want to repeat the other one. 'Cause that one's an origin story. But they stopped caring about that now.

The hulk vs abomination fight scene was filmed in my home town, Hamilton Ontario Canada, my friend watched from work as they launched a car

In the comics, Bruce developed the Gamma Bomb under the command of General Ross, and Emil Blonsky was a Soviet spy. Betty Ross fell in love with Bruce because he was not a career military man. In the countdown to detonating the bomb, a teenager trespassed onto the test site. Banner halted the countdown and went to get the teen off the test site. Emil Blonsky restarted the countdown, and Banner threw the teen into a ditch and covered him with his own body, absorbing the full intensity of the bomb, unleashing the Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde transformation. In the television series in the 70's, a Gamma Bomb was replaced with medical research into Gamma radiation. Bill Bixby and Lou Ferigno were the onscreen David Bruce Banner and Incredible Hulk. Any movie after rhe series uses the medical research origin, Banner is a fugitive and believed dead by the public. If you want the origin, watch the tv show and avoid the 2003 Ang Lee HULK. (The only good scene in it was the cameo of Stan Lee and Lou Ferigno together as security guards.)

Hulk carrying off Betty to a cave on a cliff side has always struck me as an homage to the similar scene in the original King Kong.

Tim Blake Nelson (Mr. Blue) is one of the most underrated actors of our time! Check out Old Henry!!

Here we go. If you look at the films by Marvel, this will be the only "Hulk" movie with "Hulk" in the title. Back in the 90s, Marvel sold the distribution rights of "Hulk" to Universal. The 2003 film was a Universal film, before Marvel had its own studio. This movie was produced by Marvel Studios but had to be distributed by Universal because of that deal. Since this movie, Hulk has been in several other Marvel films but never in the title so Marvel can still be the distributor. There have been several rumors that Marvel and Universal has made a deal in the past few years to enable Marvel to use "Hulk" in the title and still distribute the film, but nothing has been confirmed.

Comic book origin story. During the testing of a gamma bomb in the desert. Dr. Banner sees a teenager, Rick Jones on a motorcycle moments before the blast. Dr. Banner races to save him from the explosion. Knocking the boy to safety, Bruce is exposed to the gamma rays. Forever to be the Hulk. Indebted for saving his life. Rick Jones looks out for the doctor when he can help. ✌️

I'm sure someone already mentioned it but Captain America The First Avenger is a great origin story and is still my favorite.

I follow a lot of KZfaq reaction movie channels and whenever a casual non-comic book fan (such as yourself) is just starting to make their way into the MCU, I always feel the need to point out a scene in this movie that probably goes over their head because they don't understand the true significance of it. That's the bar scene with Tony at the end. In the world we live in now in 2024, the MCU has been around for almost 20 years now so it's become second nature for us to see movies with superheroes meeting and interacting with other superheroes. But prior to this film, every superhero movie created and existed in their own separate canon universes. So you never saw Michael Keaton's Batman pop up in a Superman movie. You didn't see Tobey Maguire's Spiderman show up in an X-Men movie in the early 2000s and interact with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. 2003's Daredevil, 2003's Hulk, 2004's Punisher, 2005's Fantastic Four.......these were all superheroes that stayed confined to their own movie and didn't show up in other movies. So when we saw Iron Man pop up in a movie that WASN'T an Iron Man movie, comic book movie nerds (myself included) went insane! In the post-credits scene in Iron Man when Sam Jackson teased putting together the Avengers team, it got fans excited for what was in store for the future. But when Tony showed up OUTSIDE an Iron Man movie and reaffirmed that they WERE in fact putting a team together, it was no longer just a teaser. It was a confirmation to comic book movie fans that something huge and exciting was on the horizon!

"Hulk isn't cute! Hulk is Hulk!"😂

BTW, the villain Blonsky became is called "The Abomination".

I think it's an underrated film in the MCU. I would've liked to have seen what Norton would've brought to the rest of the films. Because you asked, "classic Hulk" of the comics transformed when his heart rate was elevated, normally triggered by anger or emotional distress. He was 7ft tall and weighed approx 1,000lbs. There's supposed to be no limit to his strength, because the angrier he gets the stronger he gets.

18:59 - Oh your god! Tell me she didn't give him purple pants!

I love this film. Does it have its issues? Yes. However, it does a great job of showcasing the Banner/Hulk dynamic and the loneliness Bruce experiences being on the run. What we need - no, what we WANT - is a true power Hulk movie. The MCU depowered the Hulk significantly. Hulk 2003 is an origin story while The incredible hulk was an unofficial sequel while introducing Hulk to the MCU. Backstory: In the 90s Marvel was failing badly. It sold off some of its prominent characters to movie studies to make some money. Hulk, Xmen, Spider-Man and others went to different studios, which is why there's a Hulk 2003. Marvel cannot technically use the Hulk in a standalone film, which is why we haven't seen another Hulk movie.

@34:00 Regarding character rights: Put simply, Marvel had solvency issues in the 90s and sold a bunch of film rights to prevent total collapse. This is why we had the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man films (Sony), the Fantastic Four films (Fox), and others. Some of the studios let their rights lapse or sold them back to Marvel, others saw the success of the MCU and tried to capitalize on it. These early MCU films are also before Disney bought Marvel and started aggressively buying back rights. Most of the non-MCU films will show the Marvel logo, since the characters are Marvel, but they won't show the Marvel Studios logo. Hulk isn't the only Marvel property referenced in the MCU but produced by another company, just the most obvious one.

The Hulk movie with Eric Bana is where you will get the back story of Hulk

The color choices for the Hulk character are really fun because it runs counter to the long standing color conventions for heroes and villains. Almost from the beginning, comics have coded heroes with red, blue, and yellow and villains with green, purple, and orange. It's such a well established convention that messing with it subconsciously (or consciously if you know the conventions) tips off the reader/viewer that you should feel uncomfortable because something isn't right. The best examples of Marvel deviating from the convention are either characters who are "monster heroes" like the Hulk (green) and the Thing (orange) or reformed villains like Hawkeye (purple) or Gamora (green).

Blonsky initially got the super soldier serum cap got . Well a variant.

Going forward without spoilers, there are mid and post credit scenes in 90% of all Marvel Cinematic Universe films. keep that in mind

4:17 When you see Mark Ruffalo play Banner, you'll SEE why he's the better casting choice.

I'm pretty sure Tim Blake Nelson and Steve Buscemi are quietly the richest actors in the industry. They are in everything.

That 3rd transformation always gets me with how painful it is for Bruce Banner to transform into Hulk. Also, one of Hulk's abilities is that he draws more strength from his anger. The angrier he gets, the more powerful he becomes. It shows that Hulk can bench-press a tank without breaking a sweat, but his strength is virtually limitless. To answer any questions on whether or not Hulk can control himself: Bruce Banner's grasp over Hulk depends on HOW he transforms. If it happens voluntarily, Hulk has more of an ability to reason and comprehend things. But if it happens through uncontrollable stimuli like anger, Hulk is the living equivalent of a wrecking ball.

36:06 - Yeah, that's mainly from the comics.

9:01 - Well, If you look carefully, he's got no shirt, the pants are all ripped up...and he has to hold them up. I think it's safe to toss out the stretchy-clothes theory.

Oh sweet summer child.... who is the security guard... lol lol lol

31:54 - Nope, there's just a prior movie that explains everything. 😉

2003 was the making of the first HULK movie.

36:29 - OK, here's a non-spoilery bit of trivia for you: Hulk (2003) is the origin story. 😁

22:46 - Yeah, I got nothing.

33:17 - BEST REACTION IN THE WHOLE VIDEO!!! 😂

Fight club was the Incredible Hulk vs vanisher 😂

There was a relationship between Betty and Bruce beforehand. He left her when got Hulk powers. He didn’t want to endanger her. The man she started dating afterwards is in the comics too. He gets gamma powers and becomes Dr Samson. He gets super strength and green hair.

A nod to hulk comic fans, the character that Ty Burrell plays is Dr Sampson, who in the comics gets gamma'd up and becomes a weaker, smarter hero.

Robert Bruce Banner...named after the Scottish king

Shanelle, glad you're continuing with this series of movies. I think you might find them more interesting by looking at the casting choices made going forward.

28:14 We need to remember that when she gets to CA:CW

The Hulk TV Show has a great origin story. David Banner is trying to figure out where people get the extraordinary strength to lift a car when a loved one is trapped underneath. David Banner himself had failed to save his wife in a car accident.

There was an Incredible Hulk TV show in the 70s/80s. Then there was a film in 2003 that was interesting but didn't do all that well. Because audiences already had 2 origin stories, they decided not to waste time and just place us in the middle of Banner's life. I would highly suggest watching the 2 hour TV pilot. The writer wrote it in iambic tetrameter for some reason but it is really neat. The man who played Hulk in the show plays the security guard in the film. Originally the Hulk was gray in the comics, but the printer was having trouble with that so they made him green later on.

Hulk's origin was covered in the 2003 Hulk movie by Ang Lee (which is sadly not part of the MCU), so they didn't feel that covering it again would be a good idea. There were supposed to be a couple more standalone Hulk movies with Ed Norton, but between creative differences between Norton and Kevin Feige, financial differences (Norton wanted a bigger paycheck), and some copyright issues involving the rights for Hulk and another studio (from that Ang Lee movie), those movies were sadly shelved indefinitely and Norton was replaced with Ruffalo. The "giant" security guard was none other than Lou Ferrigno. He starred as the Hulk, opposite Bill Bixby as Bruce Banner, in the 70s tv show The Incredible Hulk. Switching between Bixby's 5'9 skinny frame to Ferrigno's 6'5 bodybuilder physique was a relatively effective technique for the show (similar to the physical acting differences Christopher Reeves would do for Clark Kent and Superman roles), considering the limits of what they could do at the time. Ironically, Lou Ferrigno ALSO had a cameo as a security guard in the '03 Hulk movie. As to the question of whether Banner's mind is still "in there" when he's Hulk, the best answer is "sort of?" Generally speaking (there's a ton of alternative storylines in the comics), Hulk is a distinctly separate personality from Banner, so it'd be vaguely similar to a DID patient whose personalities are aware of each other, and maybe have some flickers of awareness while the other is "in the driver's seat," but they're not truly co-conscious or able to significantly influence the other.

*_The reason why we see Bruce Banner already as the Hulk in this movie is because only 5 years earlier, there had been another Hulk movie that explored his origin story and it was panned as not good (Really: It wasn't good at al!). This was an attempt to reboot the character and the franchise and to put it into the MCU with Iron Man and the others that would follow. So, even though they had already filmed the origin scenes (Which is what the montage during the opening credits is), the director and the studio, correctly, feared that retelling the origin story another time so soon after would be boring for most movie goers. This not only permitted to get the movie going faster but also kept the movie from being over 3 hours long (Or have too much of the later reels cut down). I understand that for someone who sees this movie decades later without having seen the previous Hulk film (Or the 80s series) this can feel like losing out on the origin story, but for myself who saw this when it came out in theatre: It was a breath of fresh air to have a superhero movie franchise skip the all too well known origin story and get right into the action and the drama of the Hulk's story (And yes, The Incredible Hulk is not as funny as Iron Man but that is because Hulk, like the classical universal movie monsters, like the wolfman or Frankenstein, is much more of a tragic story character than Iron Man)._* *_Personally, The Incredible Hulk was my all time favorite superhero movie when it came out and stayed so until Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out in 2014 (But I know I am in a very small minority of people who thought it so)._*

Love this movie!

Regarding snarky dialogue in the MCU, it's a case of "be careful what you wish for". Especially once Disney takes over. At least Marvel tried to be a little different in each of the earlier movies.

The other movie before this one is not part of the official MCU, starring Eric Bana that actually shows the origin (if my memory serves me well). Basically it was an accident during an experiment where he was exposed to Gamma Radiation. I think you're right, they didn't want to repeat the story and assumed anyone who saw this one had seen the other.

This is one movie that would really benefit from getting a director’s cut or something. The first act is so quick to the action it’s hard to get invested in the characters, but the deleted scenes really flesh that part out more and I think would’ve elevated the movie by a letter grade.

0:28 - We do, we do.

Awesome reaction of my favorite Marvel movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

Hulk (2003) by Ang Lee is the real origin movie, this one picks up after that when Bruce fled. It has its detractors but it is stylish and explores the psychology.

Woohoo, you finally managed to get it uploaded!

7:39 - Hopes = dashed. 😁

General Ross (dad) is in some future MCU movies. Unfortunately the actor passed, but the MCU still has use for the character and replaced with a top tier actor. Although the first movie with this new actor isn't out yet, but has been filmed.

I don't know if this carried over into the MCU but when I was a kid existing on a steady stream of comics, I remember reading that the baseline strength for the Abomination was greater than that of the Hulk but that the Hulk's strength continued to increase as he got angrier.

A lot of what they were setting up in this rendition of Marvel story was that there was people that were trying to replicate the Super Soldier Serum that was used on Captain America. The story on him will be explained in his movie but stuff dealing with the Hulk will be somewhat explained in this one but to see and to get a better idea you might have to watch the 2003 movie for an actual origin story or maybe find the original television show from the seventies.

There is a scene where they use the of sad piano music from the old hulk tv show.

Outside of the 2003 movie, the Incredible Hulk was also a very popular show in the 80s and still well remembered, it basically had a "The Fugitive" premise where each week Banner would wind up in a new location and help people out of a jam before going on the run, and this flick is kind of adapting that familiar premise (wandering, looking for a cure, helping people). Even the opening "nightmare" evokes part of the show's original opening. Marvel was always good at having their characters powers come at a cost, Iron Man has his robot suit but he also has a weak heart (and poor impulse control), the Hulk is practically invulnerable but Banner is forced to start from scratch after each incident. I love that they showed how long that can be for him.

Is someone going to tell her? Lol by the way, snarky dialogue is snarky because it's coming from Tony Stark. Bruce banner is not Tony Stark. You don't expect the same dialogue from a completely different character.

"Who's the security guard?"... I'm gonna die!!!

You should check out some of the short films Marvel made to tie into some of these movies, when you get the chance... Specific to this movie, "The Consultant".

15:39 According to the newsreel of this event, the anchor person (or on screen text of the tv) states that the Nokia guy is Jack McGee. In the '70's tv show, Jack McGee was a reporter for one of those rag mags (Nation Inquirer type) who followed sightings of The Hulk.

Purple pants goes back to the comic books.

Love your reactions! Yes, this movie does a lot of homages to the original TV series, which was modeled after "The Fugitive". Every episode he had a new alias and would wander into some town and end up getting mixed up with some kind of drama, which lead to the Hulk putting an end to it. But then either the police of McGee, the nosy reporter following him, forces him to move on. Banner was played by the wonderful actor the late Bill Bixby, who they briefly show in the movie when he's watching TV at the beginning. I really liked Edward Norton in this role as well. The only problem is he has a bit of a reputation in Hollywood for arrogance; this lead to Kevin Feige deciding to recast the role with the Avengers. (Supposedly, it was fairly mutual.) The classic 4-color comic always put the Hulk (who started grey but was later changed to green) in purple pants because it contrasted better and made him unique in a panel compared to other heroes. Blonsky (The Abomination) was given a serum derived from (very likely) Captain America's blood. In the comics, super soldier serum is very volatile and it often kills the host after only a short time, despite giving them strength and power. You can see that after his 2nd shot he looks pale and sick. It's very likely that the gamma treatment probably saved his life. In the comics, the Abomination IS stronger than the Hulk, but unlike the Hulk, anger doesn't make him stronger. So when the Hulk gets angry enough he can overpower him. (Which was illustrated pretty well in this movie when he reaches up and slowly pulls down the Abomination's arms, who looks shocked that he's being out-muscled.) On that note, Dr. Samuel Sterns is another Hulk villain in the comics; The Leader. He also was infected with gamma radiation but unlike the Hulk it expands his mind and brain. (Classically he has an enlarged cranium and green skin.) I LOVE Tim Blake Nelson in this role.

Fun Fact: Marvel allowed Hulk Hogan to use the name "Hulk" for an annual royalty fee but they threatened to sue him if he ever wore green and purple, so Hogan chose red and gold, Iron Man's colours, not because he was a fan of Iron Man, just to piss of Marvel.

I'm old so here's what I'm thinking. I think that your reaction to Clint Eastwood's 1st movie as a Director would be outstanding. It's still one of my favorite Eastwood movies, "Play Misty for Me" (1971) starring Eastwood with Jessica Walters & Donna Mills. The film was shot on location in Monterey, Ca. This is a "thriller" set around the Monterey Jazz Festival. You'll never guess the budget!

34:25 - WTF?! No, it's just a straight up sequel! What?

Hulks abilities do indeed include a Thunder Clap, able to generate an INTENSE shockwave. He's nigh invulnerable, and his strength is only limited by his anger. Hulk, given enough time and fighting, could become strong enough to pull Excalibur from the stone. I'd include a canon show of strength, but you haven't encountered a required player yet. Edit: Also, I'm totally onboard for a trip through the MCU with you :D

What’s fun is bixby and Lou ferrigno cameos.

The Ironic thing is, about 2/3 of the MCU movies through Endgame are origin stories, because they keep adding new characters. Sometimes the movie will be the backstory on a character you already know. Other times it will be a character that is minor in that movie, but fills a major role later on. Sometimes it's a future villain that we've just met in passing. Someone made a joke about a random security guard getting drop-kicked off the roof of an SUV asking when that guys backstory film was coming out. The films that aren't origin stories usually do a great job at character development. There's only a few stumbles, and only one I'd consider a fall. Others will feel differently.

31:34 comment, there is no Betty. To me ... he uses science to get something typically accidental. By The move, we knee the guy was the beast. You're right, The Hulk versus The Incredible Hulk. Good mention.-Ernie Moore Jr.

I really liked this movie and Edward Norton as Banner. While Mark Ruffalo definitely has become a great Hulk in his own right, Norton brings a much needed gravitas to Bruce’s character.

10:56 Good catch. A lot of people don't catch the whole "Stanley's" = Stan Lee thing.

Probably already confirmed to you but 2003 Hulk is not MCU, it's its own narrative. Similarly I'm sure you know there were a whole series of X-Men movies produced by Fox but in the next few years the MCU will produce their own version of the X-Men. It took Marvel a long time to get all their film rights back and even still they have to cut deals on a few characters. If they ever produce another solo Hulk movie, contractually they have to co-release with Universal, so the Hulk has remained a supporting character since. Answering a question you asked, in the comics Betty and Bruce met when the military hired him to work on their gamma project. Her father, the general was his supervisor. She was smitten with him from the beginning, he disliked him for a long period. There's long been a love-hate relationship between the three of them over the years as the dynamic shifted. Blonsky's supervillain name in the comics is "The Abomination." That name gets named dropped a few times over the years in the other films so you learn a bit about him without Tim Roth needing to be present.

@Shanelle Riccio : About seeing the origin story, it's covered in the previous entry, 'Hulk'with Eric Bana. And it's brought back in some of the sequels. But I don't know if all these before Mark Ruffalo are canon now, but how he became Bruce Banner, is the same, as that is canon. Over-exposure to gamma radiation, in an accident. But I remember one of the sequels making it genetic, and passed down to bruce, which is not according to the comics.
