History

Project Omega was an A.I. created by the Hulk's "Doc Green" persona as a failsafe in case his "Bruce Banner" persona was unwilling to go back to Doc Green whenever he reverted to his human form. If Banner refused to let Doc Green take control of their body, the A.I. would detonate explosives inside Betty Ross Banner's home.[2] The A.I. also worked as Doc Green's assistant.[4]

Doc Green began to doubt the efficacy of his A.I. duplicate after it recalibrated a portal meant to send Lyra to her home universe. Claiming that Doc Green had miscalculated Lyra's threat, Project Omega sent her to an undisclosed alternate reality instead. Because the A.I. had been modeled after Doc Green at the peak of his intelligence and their actions differed, the A.I. determined that it was possible that Doc Green's intellect was starting to diminish, so it decided to act on Doc Green's behalf independently and without him even knowing about it.

Project Omega created a synthetic body modeled on Bruce Banner and went into hiding in case Doc Green did not agree with its actions, so it could wait until Doc Green finally gave in and changed his opinion. Once Doc Green had confronted it and destroyed the synthetic Banner, the A.I. transmitted itself away to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, where it used an LMD to send a message to the central S.H.I.E.L.D. command about Doc Green's whereabouts.[5] After killing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Project Omega escaped on a jump jet and landed at Fort Knox to take down the Gamma Corps in order to continue with Doc Green's plan to de-power every Gamma Mutate except for himself. Doc Green intervened since Project Omega had determined that de-powering the subjects was not enough and it wanted to kill them instead. After Doc Green destroyed the battle armor that Project Omega was wearing, it self-destructed, but the LMD was not its only form.[3]

Now calling itself Gammon, the A.I. approached Doc Green's next target, the Red Leader, and offered to modify his body with countermeasures for when Doc Green de-powered him. After Doc Green took him down and the Red Leader was returned to his human form of Sam Sterns, these countermeasures kicked in and Sterns was again turned into his original form of the Leader. The Leader wondered when he and Gammon would meet face to face, and the A.I. told him to be patient and assured him that their future working together would be bright.[1] When Doc Green last saw Gammon, the A.I. had resurfaced on the Internet, researching batteries.[6] After that, Gammon accepted being absorbed into the Leader's mind due to having no real need for a personality of its own any more.[7]
