Dr. Bruce Banner finds himself in a harrowing predicament as he is wrongfully accused of a tragic crime—the murder of a child. Haunted by this injustice and the chaos that often accompanies his alter ego, the Incredible Hulk, Banner's journey is fraught with emotion and conflict. As he tries to clear his name, he faces the relentless pursuit of those who see him as a monster, both figuratively and literally.
The story unfolds against a backdrop of turmoil as Banner grapples with his inner demons, caught between his desire for a normal life and the monstrous force that resides within him. Each encounter is a struggle, not just against external adversaries but also an internal battle for acceptance and understanding. The weight of his past and the fear of his power create an intense atmosphere as he seeks redemption.
Along the way, Banner forms complex relationships with those who believe in his innocence and those who wish to see him locked away. As he fights to prove that he is not the villain he has been painted to be, the narrative explores themes of identity, guilt, and the nature of heroism. In a world quick to judge, Banner must confront what it truly means to be a monster—or a hero.
