HULK

The Hulk is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby in May 1962. He is the alter ego of Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, a brilliant physicist who transforms into a green-skinned, towering monster with near-limitless physical strength whenever his rage, stress, or adrenaline is triggered.

Key Aspects

• The Origin: Bruce Banner gained his powers after being accidentally exposed to a blast of gamma radiation while saving a teenager during a military bomb test.
• The Power Scale: Hulk’s strength increases proportionally with his anger. His primary abilities include superhuman durability, a rapid healing factor, and the capacity to leap miles in a single bound.
• The Inspiration: The character’s concept is heavily rooted in classic literature, drawing direct thematic inspiration from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
