SYNOPSIS

David Banner was a research scientist who had been experimenting with various means of determining the effects of stress on physical strength. In a freak accident in his laboratory, David was exposed to a massive dosage of radiation that had a dramatic effect on his physiology.

Normally a quiet, peaceful man, David now found that every time he became angered, he turned into The Incredible Hulk, a huge, greenish, man-like monster of immense strength and primitive passions. David knew what was happening when the transformation started to take place but, when he calmed down and returned to normal, he had no recollection of when he was the creature.

Traveling around the country in search of a cure, and taking odd jobs to keep himself fed an clothed, David sought to avoid the pursuit of investigative reporter Jack McGee, who suspected his secret but who had no real proof.

Incredible Hulk was based on the comic book character created by Stan Lee in 1962. From September 1982 to September 1985, NBC aired an animated version of The Incredible Hulk as part of its Saturday morning lineup. A new animated Incredible Hulk aired on the UPN Sunday morning children’s lineup from September 1996 to September 1999.
