Summary

Bruce Banner AKA Hulk is a primary protagonist from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. He is a scientist and former nuclear physicist who was in charge of a gamma radiation experiment for the government until a teenager, Rick Jones, wandered into the test area as the gamma bomb was about to explode. Banner jumped in and saved Rick, but was caught in an explosion and exposed with a large amount of radiation himself. This gave him the ability to change into a giant, raging green monster known as the Hulk, whose incredible power gets much stronger the angrier he becomes and his body can withstand even the most extreme conditions. Despite all of his anger, he is a gentle giant who never wants to harm innocent people and was even a founding member of the Avengers.

Following his marriage with Betty Ross, Thanos had wiped out half of the population with the Infinity Gems, prompting Hulk to join the heroes and villains of Earth to stop the Mad Titan, an effort the yielded success. Later, he would be forced to respond to the return of Apocalypse, fight alongside heroes from the Capcom Universe in response to Onslaught, aid in the defeat of Abyss as well as Galactus, and join the resistance against Ultron-Sigma when the latter threatened the merged worlds of Marvel and Capcom.
