Summaries

A fugitive scientist has the curse of becoming a powerful green monster under extreme emotional stress.

Supposedly dead scientist Dr. David Banner who has a unique ability to transform into a powerful being known as The Incredible Hulk, travels the world looking for a cure for his "Problem." While also being hunted by a Reporter named Jack McGee. Banner meets new people along the way, bonds with them as Banner and protects them when needed as The Hulk but untimely has to keep moving until he can be sure able to "control the raging spirit that dwells within."

Dr. David Banner is a brilliant scientist but, one day, a laboratory experiment that he is working on goes terribly awry. Since that time, whenever he is under extreme stress, his body undergoes a transmogrification and he morphs into the Incredible Hulk. The Hulk is about seven feet tall, hugely muscular and powerful, and has bright green skin. After destroying whatever threatens Dr. Banner, he morphs back to normal human form with only amnesia and tattered clothing as evidence of what just transpired. As you can well imagine, this situation is quite troubling for Dr. Banner and causes him a great amount of problems. All the while, he is pursued by Jack McGee, an investigative reporter who believes that the Hulk is a deadly menace whose exposure would enhance his career.—Tad Dibbern <[email protected]>
