===Mr. HULK===
: The Strange Case of Doctor Banner and Mister Hulk
: The Incredible Mr. Hulk should still be "the same". He originally had some intelligence and was able to sit around the table with the rest of the original Avengers, talking plans. It wasn't really until a little later that his story morphed into "Hulk Always Angry!!! Hulk Need Nobody! Hulk smash everything! Graaaaaaar!"
: Doctor Robert Banner, an esteemed Psychiatrist and Physician from Cavendish Square, was studying a way to unlock a persons inner personality, to tap into the hidden strength from within. Normal techniques and theories only led him to dead-ends. So he turned to Alchemy, and during one promising experiment he was accidentilly interrupted by the House Boy, Richard. After the resulting explosion Banner found that, in times of stress he would turn into the entity known as "Mister Hulk" a monstrous specimen of physicality, unhindered by modern society's restraints.
: It begins in 1886, when a London doctor discovers a formula that unleashes the savage, base impulses that rage within him. Desperate to capture the monster, the Scotland Yard Inspector and the alienist assigned to the case enlisted the aid of other exceptional indivuduals. Once the doctor is brought under control, a mysterious secret agent, answerable only to Queen Victoria and known only as "N", brings these extraordinary adventurers together in service to the Empire as Her Majesty's Champions.
: Marie Curie's wondrous discovery of radium was not the first, sadly. The incautious Bruce Banner, working with pitchblende and a strange metal rumored to be from Atlantis in his Manchester lab, discovered its remarkable properties first - but at the cost of his lab and his humanity. Now he hides the form of the Incredible Hulk and fears his rampages. (alternately, go with the Hyde formula...)
: Dr. Bruce Banner could easily be working with Radium and its effect on the human mind. But something will obvioulsy go horribly wrong when he becomes--the Incredible Mr. Hyde! A giant, vicious gray monster that represents the worst of humanity.
: Former mathmatician student Bruce Banner is so cursed to be merged with an Asgardian mountain troll king for refusing to work with Loki on constructing a 'radium' bomb. Instead, the magical result was the mixing of Loki's magic with what he believes to be a simple lab accident as he studied radium. (Indeed, Loki could well be a source of most being's powers) If you want to stick with Gibralta then the Hulk might have been created when Loki was testing his radium bomb for the British crown.
:  There really should be Dr. Banner and the Incredible Mr. Hulk... Dr. Banner and Dr. Jekyll could have been competing scientists working on unleashing the human potential. Dr. Banner through his studies of Radioactive isotopes and what the images they created (via X-Rays) could tell him of the makeup of the human body and Dr. Jekyll through the study of chemistry. Dr. Banner could have unleashed his Mr. Hulk personae well before Dr. Jekyll was able to complete his work, with Dr. Banner obtaining some "Queen's Cross" award, leaving Dr. Jekyll awash in his "second rate" attempt. This ends up creating bitter feelings based upon jealousy in Dr. Jekyll, thus when Mr. Hyde was unleashed a titanic battle between Mr. Hulk and Mr. Hyde was inevitable... The real gut punch is that Dr. Banner's result was pure chance through an accident, whereas Dr. Jekyll actually created something that could be consumed by and make anyone into a "Mr. Hyde" like being. (Although nowhere near as great as Dr. Jekyll, due to lingering effects of earlier experiments that had already radically altered Dr. Jekyll's makeup.) Those who drink the "Mr. Hyde" concoction would retain some, if not most of their personae in their stronger form, whereas Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde are two distinct people. Dr. Banner and the Incredible Mr. Hulk would be two separate, but strongly aware of one another, personalities and both could have a strong influence on the other. Like Mr. Hulk being far more civilized than the Savage Hulk in recent years of Marvel Comics. Although, he would still be gruff and a little quicker to anger than Dr. Banner, but does know when to pull his punches and does his level best not to wreak havoc when he must exert his muscle. If he accidentally knocked someone over, after doing his best to keep from even hitting them (Like if he was tossed a football field length) he might say, "Oh dear, sorry about that old chap, let me help you help." then grabbing the scared Englishman/woman with his giant green hand and then brushing them off before leaping back into the fray. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde would be different. Mr. Hyde would be very strong, very mean and also crafty in a cruel sort of way.
