-	Unfortunately for the Hulk, there are many who used his limited intelligence against him and attempted to manipulate him for their own selfish means. Vile menaces like the [[Leader (Samuel Sterns)\|Leader]], [[Tyrannus]], and [[Captain Omen]]. When Hulk proved to be too hard to control, they sent their minions like [[Aquon]] and [[Mogol]] to confront him physically. Enemies came in all shapes and sizes, ranging in power levels. From mere humans like [[Devastator (Kirkov ~~Petrova~~)\|Devastator]], to evolved beings like the [[Inheritor]], to monstrous powerhouses like [[Glob (Joseph Timms)\|Glob]], Hulk always found a way to prevail – even against those who masqueraded as friends such as his old physics professor, Geoffrey Crawford – later known as [[Ravage (Geoffrey Crawford)\|Ravage]].	+	Unfortunately for the Hulk, there are many who used his limited intelligence against him and attempted to manipulate him for their own selfish means.

	After the events of the [[House of M\|M-Day]], Banner sought refuge and peace in Alaska, where he lived as a hermit loosely connected to the town community. He was eventually tracked down by [[Fury, Nick\|Nick Fury]] of [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]], who required his help in defeating the Hydra space weapon called the [[Godseye]] which could detonate all the nuclear bombs in the world.

-	A S.H.I.E.L.D. commissioned space shuttle was sent to retrieve the Hulk, or so he believed. Seizing the opportunity to be rid of the Hulk, a group of superheroes known as the [[Illuminati]] decided to jettison the shuttle into space, to a [[Planet Hulk\|planet]] with no intelligent life forms. Unfortunately, there was a navigation error, and the Hulk landed on [[Sakaar]], a place full of barbarian tribes, gladiator battles and ruled over by a corrupt empire. The planet was situated near a portal, which gave it access to several different cultures and technologies. The trip made him vulnerable, and it wasn't long before he was [[subjugated by the Red King]].

	[[image: Acotilletta2--WWHulks.jpg\|200px\|left\|thumb\|Hulks strike back]]Unable to summon his incredible strength to combat his foes, Banner had to rely mainly on his son, [[Skaar]], to do as he was told. Skaar had come to Earth to kill his father but without Hulk around, he wound up aiding Banner. [[Cho, Amadeus\|Amadeus Cho]], She-Hulk, A-Bomb, his recently discovered daughter, [[Lyra]], and a bevy of other heroes were also working with Banner to defeat the Intelligencia. An unforeseeable event occurred when the Intelligencia put their plan in motion and transformed an army of [[A.I.M.]] soldiers into Hulks and marched them into the nation's capitol – the ray used to transform the soldiers also created [["Hulked-Out Heroes."]] Following a chaotic battle, Banner and the rest of the world's smartest men managed to revert the all of the Hulks and M.O.D.O.K. back to normal humans, but the cost was too high. The radiation taken from the soldiers' bodies was brought back to the Intelligencia's ship, the [[Hellcarrier]], but its machinery couldn't contain it for long. The only thing on the planet able to absorb it all was Banner. Samson attempted to help undo some of the damage he caused and sacrificed himself in the process. Immediately following the absorption process, Banner became the Hulk once again, and Skaar was finally going to get the fight he'd been longing for. During the brawl Skaar accidentally placed several innocents at risk. Hulk saved their lives, proving he wasn't the monster Skaar or Banner made him out to be. Father and son finally reconciled and decided to act as a family.

		+	With the threat of the Intelligencia behind him Banner began to make amends with his makeshift family, but Betty wanted no part of it. The more Bruce pushed the more she spurned his advances and eventually transformed into her Red She-Hulk persona and vaulted away. Banner followed suit and pursued as the Hulk which only led to a clash titanic enough to grab the attention of [[Captain America (Steve Rogers)\|Steve Rogers]] and his [[Secret Avengers\|Avengers]]. It was at this time Hulk discovered he had another son – Skaar’s twin brother, [[Hiro-Kala]], who was racing toward Earth with the planet [[K’ai]] in tow. The Hulk took his family into space to stop Hiro-Kala before the planets collided, killing everyone on both. While Hulk’s allies dealt with Hiro-Kala’s forces, Hulk confronted his son with the hope he could reason with him. He soon found out his second son was evil and cruel, and the only thing he understood was violence. Still, Hulk could not bring himself to kill his own flesh and blood, so Skaar sealed Hiro-Kala in a rock tomb, leaving him imprisoned on K’ai for the foreseeable future. K’ai was brought back to its point of origin, the [[Microverse]], by [[Rann, Arcturus\|Arcturus Rann]] and the [[Enigma Force]].
		+
		+	== Total Chaos ==
		+	As Hulk was dealing with his errant son the [[Mikaboshi\|Chaos King]] was busy trying to plunge the universe back to the nothing before time and space began. Only [[Hercules (Heracles)\|Hercules]] and a select few had the power to oppose him, but they were rapidly losing ground. Dr. Strange appeared before Hulk and requested aid. The Hulk returned to Earth and was immediately assaulted by an enemy long-thought dead – the Abomination, now a servant of the Chaos King. To make matters worse Dr. Strange fought at Abomination’s side, possessed by [[Zom]], and the two were seeking Marlo Chandler, A-Bomb’s ex-wife and the only person on Earth to have been touched by death and live. The dead had returned as servants of the Chaos King to fight the Hulk, but fallen allies rose to help him. Samson, Jarella and even Banner’s mother stood by his side, but one parent’s return signaled the resurrection of his father. Hulk had to face his personal demons alone as his new family contended with an army of undead enemies, but before long they were all united in defending Marlo. It almost seemed as if the Chaos King’s forces would overwhelm the heroes until Marlo tapped into the power within her and returned all of the Chaos King’s allies to the grave, and Hercules restored the universe to the way it was before the assault. After seeing how some of the heroes were rewarded for their assistance, Hulk was angered his family did not receive anything for their service. He journeyed to the new [[Olympus\|Mount Olympus]] where the Greek gods were restored to power and challenged [[Zeus]], demanding his family be given the opportunity to live normal lives as their reward for their part in saving existence. Zeus gladly accepted the challenge but once he realized Hulk was only looking to sacrifice his own life for the lives of others, Zeus stopped fighting and decided to teach hulk a lesson through torture. Hulk was saved by Hercules and his family, but having to live with his own tortured soul proved to be punishment enough.

Bruce showed signs of high intelligence at an early age which strengthened his father's belief. Brian became abusive to Bruce and when his mother intervened, Brian murdered her.

	As a child Bruce was withdrawn, possibly developing a split personality to help deal with his pain and rage. His only happiness came from spending time with his cousin [[She-Hulk\|Jennifer Walters]]. Bruce found it hard to develop friendships and often found himself on the receiving end of physical abuse at the hands of school bullies. One such incident sparked him to build and plant a bomb in the basement of his school. The bomb was a dud, and Bruce was expelled, but the military took notice of his genius. Eventually, Bruce earned a doctorate in nuclear physics and started a career with them.		As a child Bruce was withdrawn, possibly developing a split personality to help deal with his pain and rage.
