As an adult, Banner went to work on a secret nuclear test project for a bomb with gamma radiation. About to test the new bomb, he spots a teenager who has wandered into the test range and rushes out to save him. But a co-worker who is really a Soviet spy, detonates the bomb while he is out there, causing Banner to suffer massive irradiation that immediately turned him into the Incredible Hulk, a bumbling, angry creature with a native intelligence. Banner would morph into the Hulk at sunset, and back to a human at dawn. In the Incredible Hulk comics' first edition in 1962, he was gray. But the printer had difficulty coming up with a consistent color, so in the second issue, his color was changed to green, and the storyline expanded to include the fact that instead of just the day/night transformation, he now changed under stress and the influence of adrenaline, which produced a green color. Because of Banner could not control his alter-ego as the Incredibly Hulk, scientists devised a way to separate their psyches. But after the splitting of their personalities, it was discovered that both the Hulk and Banner were dying. New technology was developed to merge the two once more, ensuring the continued long life of Banner, and the success of the Incredible Hulk comic book.
