History
As Banner
Doctor Bruce Banner is a government scientist researching the mutagenic effects of gamma radiation. Obsessed with the music of Dazzler and wanting to have her all to himself, he befriended her lead guitarist Rick Jones. Banner drugged and experimented on him, secretly bringing forth his "Hulk" alter-ego without Rick's knowledge. Banner had the Hulk kidnap Dazzler's sister Mortis and her friend Pixie in order to isolate her.[1] Like the Hulk, Pixie was brainwashed into attacking her friends and bandmates, kidnapping Lila Cheney to add to Banner's growing collection.[2]
When Natasha Romanoff and Ghost-Spider meddled in his plans, Banner had Pixie abduct Em Jay Watson as a distraction while the Hulk abducted Dazzler herself. Commiserating with Em Jay's unrequited feelings for Gwen and comparing them to his own for the Dazzler, Banner used his gamma radiation technology to reactivate the dormant Carnage symbiote inside her.[1] Romanoff and Ghost-Spider stormed his lab, while Dazzler was able to break out of her restraints, and in a desperate bid to beat them, Banner exposed himself to gamma rays. He turned into a Hulk the same way Rick Jones had, but this backfired on him as the Hulk that Banner turns into ended up being calm, benevolent and only angry at Banner, whom he considered a bad guy.[3]See Also
