And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
The Incredible Hulk: Rawrrrr...
The creature is driven by rage and persued by an investigative reporter,
David Banner: Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The Incredible Hulk: Rawwwrr!
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. David Banner is believed to be dead, and he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
