Movies
Hulk (2003): In 2003, Ang Lee directed a film based on the Hulk for Universal Pictures. Eric Bana played Bruce Banner, and the Hulk was created with CGI. Here, Banner's father, David Banner (played by Nick Nolte), is partly responsible for the Hulk's origin as before Banner was born, he experiments with his DNA for enhancing his immune system and strength and passes his mutated genes on to his son. When Banner grows up, believing his real parents died (this is only half-true, as only his mother dies and his father is incarcerated for thirty years), he saves a co-worker (they work in the bio-nuclear physics at University of California, Berkeley) from being killed by gamma radiation and nano-meds and takes the impact of the rays and intakes the nano-meds himself, mysteriously surviving the onslaught. It is not clear to exactly what happens in Bruce, although it can be believed that his enhanced DNA prevented him from dying from both the gamma radiation and the now activated nano-meds (which usually killed the test subjects instead of reconstructing their damaged cells), but his inner persona (and, as we understand later on in the movie, his true father's objective) was finally freed from the combined elements. The nano-meds were a success in Bruce's body, but triggered by repressed painful memories. It causes his cells to replicate proportionally to his anger. When he mutates down back to Bruce, we notice that he loses a lot of water (excess cells dying) and later on has a very large appetite for protein.
The Hulk causes a lot of destruction, killing Col. Glenn Talbot, killing his father's mutated dogs in battle, makes a path of danger from the Desert Base to San Francisco, and finally battles his insane father, who had morphed into an amorphous cloud of energy. General Ross decides to end the battle by having one of his soldiers drop a gamma bomb at the site of the battle, ending the confrontation. It kills and disintegrates his father, while Bruce is nowhere to be found. Bruce is presumed dead, yet there have still been sightings of the Hulk in various locations. It is then confirmed that Bruce is indeed alive, living incognito as a secret doctor in South America.
The Incredible Hulk (2008): A second Hulk movie is in production and scheduled for release on June 13, 2008. Titled The Incredible Hulk, it will be directed by Louis Leterrier. At the 2006 Comic-con International Hulk panel, Letterier revealed that the Abomination, played by Tim Roth, will be the villain. Edward Norton has been cast as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross.
Bruce Banner is a fugitive in South America trying to cure the condition that turns him into the Hulk. He is being pursued by the United States Army, led by General "Thunderbolt" Ross and Emil Blonsky, who wants to use his power. Emil Blonsky is a soldier on the team led by Ross, and after a one-on-one confrontation with the Hulk, Blonsky is humiliated. Blonsky volunteers to be a test subject of one of Ross' tests with Banner's formula. This causes a transformation in Blonsky, and he uses his new monstrous form to attack the city and draw out Banner.
Television
The Incredible Hulk (TV series): The origins of the Hulk in the TV series differ greatly from the original comic book. David Banner is a physician/scientist who has been traumatized by the loss of his wife in a fatal car accident and his guilt over his inability to save her from the burning wreckage. He begins to conduct research into strange phenomena in which human beings temporarily display superhuman levels of strength, trying to understand why others faced with a traumatic experience similar to his own were able to save themselves or their loved ones while he was not. He concludes that high levels of gamma radiation from sunspots are the cause. To prove the theory, he bombards his body with gamma radiation to see if he can endow himself with temporary superhuman strength.
Unbeknownst to Banner, the equipment had been upgraded, causing him to administer a far higher dose than he'd intended (2,000,000 units instead of 300,000). He initially thinks that the experiment has failed, but later that evening during a rainstorm, he experiences a flat tire and injures himself while trying to change it. The resulting pain and anger trigger his first transformation (which begins with Banner's eyes turning a whitish-green color) into the Hulk. The Hulk proceeds to destroy Banner's car, then wanders all night through the woods before coming across a young girl fishing, reminiscent of the 1931 Frankenstein film where the monster kills the girl. The Hulk tries to help her, but she runs away. He is shot by her father, who is thrown thirty yards into the lake. He eventually transforms back to Banner with no memory after the tire-changing incident.
