Scientist Bruce Banner lives in hiding while searching for a cure for the gamma radiation that transforms him into the Hulk whenever his heart rate rises. Pursued by General Thaddeus Ross and separated from Betty Ross, Bruce returns to the United States after discovering a possible treatment. His situation becomes even more dangerous when soldier Emil Blonsky undergoes a series of experimental enhancements and transforms into the Abomination, a powerful creature capable of matching the Hulk’s strength.
