History

Lucy Ryker was the wife of John Ryker, who contracted terminal cancer. In an effort to cure her, Ryker had Lucy injected with some of the Hulk's gamma-irradiated blood. Although it was temporarily successful in removing her cancer, the treatment soon caused Lucy to mutate uncontrollably into a disfigured gamma being. Ryker isolated his wife and dedicated himself to hunting the Hulk, hoping to use the green goliath in experiments to one day fully restore Lucy.[1][2]

During the fight between the Hulk and Flux, General Ross decided to find out what Ryker was hiding in a secret room, but was denied entry by the guard posted there. Ross was then joined by Doc Samson who knocked out the guard, so they could see what's inside. Much to their horror, they find out a deformed creature inside a holding tank, was none other than Lucy Ryker. Taking her hostage, Ross revealed to Lucy all of the horrific experiments with gamma research her husband had been conducting. This prompted Lucy to depart from Ryker, coldly telling him that she didn't ask to be cured at the risk on innocent lives.[1]

Lucy died alone after her long battle with cancer, refusing to see Ryker, even at the very end.[3]
