"I understand that great power can do great harm, but I have to hope that it can also do great good. I have to."

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... Entering community college at 14 and getting his doctorate at 23, Bruce Banner is the world’s most promising star when it comes to the sciences of the nuclear and their applications. With aspirations to revolutionize nuclear power and a masters thesis breaking the mold on methods to sponge up lingering danger zones such as Chernobyl and Fukushima, that life took a turn when he received an offer to join a top secret government initiative. With metahuman incidents on the rise, the US Government seeks preventative measures to protect people, reaching out to young and imaginative experts in all fields to build the shield that will protect the future from alien and mutant alike. Though Bruce’s background check came back clean, in truth it was anything but. His father is home bound for life, and his mother passed years ago in an accident. Bruce’s scars run deep, and the fateful gamma radiation accident he faces will begin a transformation in more ways than one. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) Hulk was my debut character in these superhero crossover games, and the largest tragedy may not be that I never got to write the parts that I was most excited for, but that in the 5 and a half years since I wrote it, there apparently hasn’t been a take on the character as standout. I’m flattered that I’m still remembered for my handling of the Hulk, but I’m also driven by the knowledge that I can do better. I’ve since read a bit more of the character (Immortal Hulk + some of the original Hulk and Tales to Astonish), and I intend to draw from both in this iteration. Immortal Hulk injects the supernatural into the character through its use of Christianity and Hell, which I think will offer some interesting imagery and thematics as Bruce dies and is reborn. The older Hulk stories struck me in how long was spent before the world found out about Bruce and the Hulk being one, something that feels intrinsic to the character now, so I’d like to aim to spend more time with Bruce trying to live as a normal person instead of jumping right into him being a vagabond in half a dozen posts. We ill see Bruce gradually lose his grip as more and more aspects of his life start to fall apart due to the influence of his alter ego (and eventually, alter egos). Since he’ll be spending more time at the lab, I opted to move from a military base in Arizona to a secret facility in the Nevada desert, and made him a part of Cadmus (in the vein of their Justice League Unlimited incarnation), which will change the dynamic of his lab, give me the opportunity to include a number of science/villain characters, and hopefully make it easier to tell stories with the Hulk still masquerading as Bruce Banner without too much of the absurdity of the original run. I also think Cadmus can be used for the sake of other players as well to introduce or explain various characters or aspects of the setting as needed, and will gladly work with anyone with ideas on that front. |
