Background
Bruce Banner was working on recreating the super soldier serum (which created Captain America) with gamma radiation. He was so sure of what he was onto, he tested it on himself, which involved exposure to gamma radiation. He overdosed and became a huge green monster, and almost killing his girlfriend Betty Ross and her dad, General Ross.
General Ross wanted Bruce's monster as a weapon for the military, and pursued him across countries for years. He finally located Bruce at soda factory in Brazil, using newly recruited soldier Emil Blonski to subdue Bruce. But he hulked out, destroyed the factory, and ran.
He went to find data held by Betty, was reunited with her and retrieved the data. This lead to a battle at the university between The Hulk and General Ross, which resulted in Emil and Betty almost dying. Hulk ran away with Betty in his arms after he protected her from a helicopter.
Bruce and Betty then traveled to New York City to find Dr. Samuel Sterns in order to cure his "condition". It is successful, however, it only suppressed the Hulk within. Emil and General Ross captured Bruce. Emil, who was already enhanced by the super-soldier serum in him, added Bruce's blood into him and became the Abomination.
Bruce decided the best chance for Emil to be beaten was to use the Hulk for good and transformed. He battled with the Abomination and won, almost killing him before Betty intervened. He ran away from a news helicopter and has more control of his power.
Later, he was recruited by Black Widow and Nick Fury to help locate the stolen Tesseract (Cosmic Cube), and to be a part of a team called the Avengers, which also consists of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye. Although he was not there to fight as the Hulk but merely follow the Tesseract's trail because it let off gamma radiation, which Bruce is an expert in. Tony Stark tries to talk Bruce into using the Hulk as a hero, which he disagrees. During the attack on the Helicarrier, Bruce hulks out, clashing with both Widow and Thor in his anger. Fury the orders a jet to open fire on the hulk, causing Hulk to attack the jet and be thrown into a building. Bruce then decides to head toward Stark Tower and help the others.
But after Loki and the Chitauri attack, he turns into the Hulk and is ordered by Cpt. America to smash. Hulk ultimately defeated "puny God" Loki and saved Iron Man from falling to his death. Bruce is then seen driving off with Stark after Thor leaves.
