01x01 - The Origin of the Hulk

[bunniefuu]

Doc Bruce Banner
Belted by gamma rays

- Turned into the Hulk
- Ain't he unglamo-rays!

Wreckin' the town
With the power of a bull

Ain't no monster clown
Who is as lovable

As ever-lovin' Hulk!
HULK! HULK!

Alone in the desert stands the most
fearsome weapon ever created by man,

the incredible gamma b*mb.

In a concrete bunker, scientists await
the G-b*mb 's first awesome test.

Dr Bruce Banner,
whose genius created the b*mb,

awaits the final moment
as a fellow scientist angrily argues.

It's too dangerous.

You should have revealed
the secret of the gamma ray to us.

Quiet, Igor.
Hello, General Ross.

Why the delay?
What are you waiting for?

Are you testing that b*mb or not?

Precautions must be taken.
These are powerful forces.

Don't lecture me, Banner.
Just speed it up.

With me in charge
instead of a milksop like you,

this test would be over by now.

Oh, Daddy, don't be so unfair.
I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

Keep out of this, Betty.
It's man talk.

Don't mind Dad, Mr. Banner.

Being nicknamed Thunderbolt Ross
takes some living up to.

Thank you, Miss Ross. Time for
the final countdown. Excuse me.

- Good luck.
- Well, it's about time.

It just isn't right, Banner,
for you to be the only one

who knows the secret
of harnessing the gamma rays.

Sorry, but the formulas are locked
in my room, and there they will stay.

You fool. If you've made a mistake,
you'll blow up half a continent.

Dr Banner, the countdown has begun.

Thinking with your fists
is hardly scientific, Igor.

We'll continue this discussion later.

A few seconds left for the gamma rays
to be unleashed and then...

Good Lord.

What's that? It's a teenager
heading into the test area.

Igor, halt the countdown.

- I must get to that boy.
- Sure, Banner.

What luck.

If I don't stop it,
it'll be the end of Bruce Banner.

You, get out of there.

Cool it, man.
It's a free country, right?

Quick, you fool, into the trench
before the b*mb goes off.

b*mb? I didn't know.

Meanwhile, with no instructions
to the contrary from Igor...

..a finger presses the fatal button.

There. You're safe.

He's coming out of it now.

Banner, it's a miracle
that you're still alive.

- How did I get here?
- I brought you.

I'm Rick Jones.
You saved my dumb life.

You're the first one that cared what
happened to me, Rick Jones, orphan.

And so I returned the favor.

I took so much gamma radiation

that something's bound to happen,
but what?

When are they gonna spring us,
old buddy?

I'm beginning to feel strange,
different. This must be the end.

What's with the radio, Doc.?
All I get is static.

That's a Geiger counter to measure
radiation, and it's going wild.

What's happening?

Hey, you've changed.

Out of my way, insect.

Where am I?
Why am I locked in here?

I want out!

Out!

Hey, Sarge, look.
What's that?

Men.
More little men.

Have to get out of here.

- Doc., wait.
- Have to hide.

Wait for me. You saved my life
and now you need me. Wait.

Silently, the monstrous being
that was once Bruce Banner

crouches in the shadows.

Fan out, men.
We've got to find that... that Hulk.

And thus a name is given
to the green-skinned Goliath.

The men at the base hospital
survey the ruins

of a two-foot thick concrete wall.

I'd say it was impossible,
but there it is.

Impossible.
Inhuman describes him better.

But the incredible truth, that Bruce
Banner is the Hulk, goes unsuspected.

The Hulk instinctively lumbers
toward Dr Banner's cottage.

I must go home.

I wonder where he's headed.

Stealthily for one so ponderous,

the Hulk approaches the cottage,
followed by the faithful Rick.

That's it.

Inside, Igor is searching
for Banner's gamma ray formula.

A sudden noise makes him turn.

What? Who?
Stop, clumsy one and die.

Yes, die, for no one must report this
to the security police.

Unarmed and confused, the Hulk
faces Bruce Banner's bitter enemy.

Can the Hulk withstand the deadly
stream of b*ll*ts sure to come

or will he die?
