~ Skills ~
Powers:
Transformation: The process by which Banner usually transforms into the Hulk is assumed to be the result of the chemical catalyst, adrenaline. As in normal human beings, Banner's adrenal medulla secretes large amounts of adrenaline in times of distress (fear, anger, stress etc.). However in Banner's case it triggers the complex chemical-extra-physical change that turns him from Bruce into the Hulk. The total time of transformation can be anywhere between seconds to five minutes (depending on adrenaline surge and stimulus which caused it). As time goes on, adrenal level will drop and Bruce will return to his normal self; However, there have been circumstances in which Banner became the Hulk without any hormonal or bodily change, suggesting that the trigger for Hulk is more psychological than physical.
Superhuman Strength: The Hulk possesses the ability of virtually limitless physical strength. Although the Hulk possesses a base strength level, whilst in an enraged state, the adrenaline in his body increases his strength considerably above his base limits. Hulk's strength is in direct proportion to his level of emotion (anger, excitement, fear etc.); The Hulk also grows stronger the more radiation he catalyses. Hulk has performed impressive feats of strength throughout his career.
Superhuman Leaping Ability: The Hulk is able to use his highly developed leg muscles to leap over great distances. When calm, he is capable of leaping roughly three miles; However, as he becomes enraged and his strength increases, he can jump much farther than usual. The Hulk also shows incredible precision when aiming his jumps and landings.
Superhuman Stamina: The Hulk's body can counteract fatigue that builds up during physical exertion. In an enraged state, he is capable of maintaining his peak physical capacity for several days before fatigue begins to affect him. Like his physical strength, the Hulk's stamina increases as he becomes angrier.
Superhuman Durability: In addition to great strength, the Hulk's body possesses a high degree of resistance to injury. The Hulk's skin is impervious to normal blades; adamantium and vibranium being amongst the very few metals that are capable of piercing his skin. The Hulk is also capable of withstanding high calibre bullets, powerful explosives, extreme pressure, falls from orbital heights, maximized heat without blistering, maximized cold without freezing, and great impacts. The Hulk's durability, like his strength, is fuelled by rushes of adrenaline.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his high resistance to physical harm, it is possible to cause the Hulk injury. However, the Hulk is capable of recovering damaged/destroyed areas of his body (including limbs and internal organs), with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human being; he heals faster and more extensively the madder he gets.
Immunity to All Diseases and Viruses: The Hulk is immune to all known Earth-based diseases and viruses.
Longevity: For all intents and purposes the Hulk lives indefinitely. Because of his healing factor that regenerates his cells, and the gamma energy that Hulk has absorbed, he has an extended lifespan.
Superhuman Speed: Despite his size, Hulk's superhuman leg muscles allow him to run at speeds that are far beyond natural human physical limits (about 700 mph). Whilst this does not grant him enhanced reflexes or agility., he has been fast enough to catch mortar shells shot at him.
Adaptation to Hostile Habitats: There have been several times where Hulk has not only spent long periods of time in oxygen-less conditions without suffocation, but has moved his mouth and thus spoken in these environments. The Hulk is capable of adapting to any inhospitable environment when necessary. Like his healing factor, it is believed that this ability is also fuelled by his rage.
Self Sustenance: The Hulk can survive on very little sustenance, but after adapting to a hostile environment, he no longer needs sustenance (such as air, water, food, or sleep).
Underwater Breathing: The Hulk has been on the ocean floor a number of times, able to breathe due to his body developing a gland which creates an oxygenated perfluorocarbon emulsion. This fills his lungs and equalizes the pressure in his body, therefore making him able to breathe fluid and avoid decompression/nitrogen narcosis
Resistance to Psychic Control: On many occasions the Hulk has demonstrated great psychic resistance as a side-effect of his rage and multiple personalities.
Extrasensory Perception:
Astral Form Perception: The Hulk has the unique ability of being able to see "astral forms"--or ghosts, recent events have shown that the power to see astral forms may now extend to Bruce Banner, although the distinction of the astral forms is lessened when compared to the Hulk's ability to view them.
Homing Ability: The Hulk also has a homing ability that enables him to locate the area in New Mexico where he first became the Hulk, even when in another dimension.
Gamma Radiation/Energy Manipulation and Emission: Although not usually a power associated with the Hulk, there is enough evidence that Hulk has (at least) a limited ability to manipulate forms of energy, gamma radiation in particular. Hulk's body works like a "gamma battery" by creating and radiating gamma energy; the extent to which Hulk controls his own energy however is yet to be determined.
Weaknesses:
the hulk is triggered by Bruce's emotions and any time that the man get's angry there is a chance of the hulk emerging if he doesn't stop it. Betty is another weakness of Bruce's due to the fact that he will do anything to keep her safe including risking his own life. the hulk is also vulnerable to adamantium as it cuts the skin of the hulk.
Abilities:
Bruce's intelligence cannot be managed on any scale but the last IQ test he took was at the age of 18 and he measured a score of 187.
Bruce has been taught how to be a reasonably good marksman by Betty averaging a firing accuracy of 6/10.
the hulk protects Bruce in the situations that he needs it to despite the fact that Bruce hates the hulk.
Weapons: Any and all weapons your character uses.

~ Psychological Profile ~
Personality:
Bruce Banner is a pretty easy going person, he doesn’t seek out trouble due to the fact that he has the hulk within himself. He does not seek out other people and he is mostly a loner not wanting to be a burden to anyone else because of the fact that he feels that his mutation is his own problem and that he should deal with it himself. Bruce also has a lot of self-hatred towards himself due to the fact that he is the hulk and he is constantly looking for a way to cure himself from the hulk so that he no longer has that burden himself. He is also a very caring person the prime example of that being the relationship that he has with Betty Ross. Even though her father hates him and currently hunts Bruce he cannot help the feelings that he has for Betty. Also he feels himself unworthy of the happiness that he could have with Betty so he pushes her away to keep her safe.
The hulk on the other hand is a rage filled beast that does not have any emotions what so ever, the hulk is also a short tempered violent being that does not recognise between friend and foe often happy to fight anyone and anyone that his put in front of it even if it was an ally such as a member of the avengers since he worked with them to deal with Loki. The hulk also has some level of intelligence however limited due to the fact that it can assess battle situations and how to cause damage.
History:
Born in Dayton Ohio, Robert Bruce Banner who preferred to go by Bruce was born to a scientist and a housewife, it was clear the love that Bruce’s mother had for him something that his father detested yet nothing was done about it due to the fact that Brian Banner loved his son despite the fact that his wife doted on the boy’s every whim. From a young age Bruce’s intelligence was obvious as he was able to finish his homework in mere minutes and even his father was blown away with the level of intelligence that his son possessed. As Bruce continued to get smarter his father’s jealously boiled over and he attacked Bruce before killing his wife and was later committed into a mental hospital himself. Bruce was then taken in by his mother’s sister when he was 13.
Bruce then went to Penn State University to study nuclear physics after acing all school tests and setting the highest marks on the PSAT’s in the state. After graduating from university he then began working on the super soldier serum hoping to replicate the serum that had created the fabled captain America. It was during this time that he met and fell in love with Betty Ross, Betty had been helping Bruce with the serum in the hope of being able to create super soldiers. Bruce had been so sure that they had been able to replicate the serum that he had injected himself with it not trusting anyone else to be injected with it due to the fact that he couldn’t live with ending another life. However the serum was not correct and it turned Bruce into the hulk during the transformation he destroyed parts of the lab and caused harm to Betty, as soon as he realised this he ran, having the government on his tail it wasn’t easy to shake them but he had done his best to stay off of their radar.
Betty found Bruce months later when he had been hiding in not the safest of places, when they had been sitting talking a fight broke out in the diner they had been sitting in, Betty had been grazed by a bullet but she had been bleeding badly, Bruce then used his medical knowledge to patch her up as well as giving her a blood transfusion of his own blood as he was the only match in the local area to save her life. Surprisingly the fact that his blood being radiated had no effect on her. After he was sure that she was ok he left hoping to find a cure for the hulk.
He went to west Africa where he had sought out a witch doctor who had claimed that he could help Bruce, after administering tribal tattoos to Bruce’s skin which had been an attempt to calm the hulk the man asked Bruce to attempt to bring out the hulk, for the first time Bruce had control over the transformations; yet it was still triggered by his anger but this time it was he that was controlling his anger not the other way around. During the attack of the clones Bruce spent most of his time in isolation but allowed the Hulk to help other heroes as needed. Bruce has since returned to America and after proving to have seemingly complete control over the hulk has become co leader of the ultimates with Iron Man and also has become one of the council of the chosen.
Rp sample
It had been a long while since he had been in the lab in which he had created the hulk but for Bruce Banner he felt that he had to go back and get all of the information that he had left here he had kept it safe only he and Betty had known where he had put it and he doubted that she would have told anyone about it due to the fact that he had been trying everything to try and ensure that he was able to have a normal life and not have to worry about the hulk being in it. Entering the lab he was surprised to find that it was empty of people of course anyone that had been working with him would have not been working here anymore but it did look like it had been used, the fact that it had been cleaned up and everything else was proof of that.
Walking over to where he had hidden his notes he was worried to find that they had gone. Looking around he tore through the whole lab not sure of what had happened but the one thing that was clear was that the serum that had turned him into the hulk was gone and he didn’t even know who had it. Sure it might not have turned someone else into the hulk but the formula itself could have been toxic or deadly to someone else, he knew that if he was able to get in contact with the likes of Tony or Nick they would be able to find it fast but more to the point he didn’t even know where to start.
“Who could have taken it?” he said.
