History
Bruce Banner was a scientist working one the Gamma Bomb project on the Omega Base. He was also friends with Reed Richards. During the attack on the Omega Base, he was sealed inside a room. After the heroes found him, they received intel that a gamma bomb was set to explode. Banner disarmed the bomb, and the heroes continued on their mission, leaving Banner behind because, after all, "He was no hero". He was shown defeated as the Hulk outside Doom's castle after he obtained Odin's powers, thus confirming that during Doom's rule, Banner had the Gamma accident that turned him into the Hulk.[1]
It was shown later that Hulk had been getting psychiatric help by Mr. Fantastic who helped him vent through haiku. Hulk participated in the Civil War, and later fought against the Nanite-controlled members of "The Fold" as a member of the Ultimate Alliance, defeating a nanite controlled A-Bomb during the Siege of Wakanda. Sometime after the defeat of the Fold, Hulk was being interviewed on a radio show. However, the hostess was surprised when she found out that Hulk was the one in control instead of Bruce Banner in the end, Hulk lost his temper and went on a rampage when the hostess told him that while for helping saving the world he would get a lot of rewards a parade was not one of them.[2]Attributes

Notes
- Hulk was only available as a playable character as a DLC on the Xbox 360 version of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. It is very likely he was originally going to be playable by default, as evidenced by the presence of his loading screens in the files of the PC version, as well as an unused simulator, unusued conversations with The Thing, Mandarin, Spider-Woman and Doctor Doom.
- The story of Hulk told in the unused simulator was similar to his Earth-616 counterpart and even mentions Igor Drenkov, which doesn't make sense for the game and it was most likely the reason the simulator was scrapped.
- Voiced by Peter Lurie and later Fred Tatasciore.
- Though Bruce was still human during the second act of the game's story, Spider-Woman indirectly references She-Hulk in one of her dialogues in Sanctum Sanctorum. It makes things even more complicated, than Banner meeting the playable Hulk and not reacting to him.
Trivia
- Hulk's alternate costume in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is Red Hulk. Even though the costume is only cosmetic and Red Hulk didn't appear in the game, the dossier of the costume made it clear, that the real Red Hulk exists in the universe of the game.
- In one of his "Hulk-ku" from the second game, Hulk mentioned Stark sending him out in space, which most likely a reference to Planet Hulk.
- In Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 Hulk joins either Pro or Anti-reg, depending on player's choice. The reason for joining Pro-reg was Hulk's gratitude to Reed Richards and Tony Stark for helping him feel less angry. However, if you choose Anti-reg, Hulk will rely on his distrust of the government due to his memories of previous clashes with its military forces.
