- —The Hulk
Doctor Robert Bruce Banner, also known as The Hulk, is a superhero from Marvel Comics.

He returned for the 139th episode and Season 7 Finale, Hulk VS Broly, where he fought against Broly from the Dragon Ball series.
History
Bruce Banner was a brilliant scientist with a tragic and troubled life, and said life would soon change forever when the U.S. Military recruited him based on his studies on gamma radiation. When testing the Gamma Bomb that Banner himself designed, Banner noticed a teenager who was driving into the testing grounds on a dare. Banner went and got the young man out, but the bomb went off and Banner took the brunt of it all. Against all odds, he survived the explosion, but his DNA became forever altered from the gamma radiation, and awakened something inside of him: a raging spirit that dwelled within him since he was a child.
Now, whenever Banner loses control of himself, his anger manifests into the form of a towering, green giant that threatens all around him, known to many as "The Incredible Hulk". Because of the Hulk's destructive nature, he was seen as a threat to humanity and was hunted by the military for years, complicating Banner's life. The Hulk, however, managed to prove himself a hero when he became a part of the Avengers, one of the team's founding and strongest members. While Banner still tries to find balance between himself and his alter-ego, both still remain unafraid to smash anything that threatens them or those they care about.
