Bruce Banner (Earth-1600)

Dr. Robert Bruce Banner (a.k.a. the Hulk) is a former government scientist who was hired by the US army to recreate the super soldier serum. He thought he could do this through gamma radiation, as he was also an expert on radiation. He conducted an experiment with his own serum injected in himself, but upon seeing young Rick Jones there, he gave his own life to save him, but at the cost of being exposed to high amounts of gamma radiation, transforming him into a large rampaging monster known as the Hulk.

Early Life
Bruce Banner was the son of Brian Banner, an atomic phycisist, and his wife, Rebecca. While Rebecca deeply loved Bruce, his father hated him hard core. He was mainly jealous of Bruce; being an object of Rebecca's love, and thought he inherited a mutant because of an experimental accident he caused before Bruce was born. An alcoholic, Brian abused Bruce and evenually killed his mother while they were trying to leave. This gets the attention of one of their neighbors as he called the police to arrest him. Bruce moved in with his cousin, Jennifer Walters, and her mother, where he lived a much more happier life before his adulthood.
