I am watching Daisy Jones & the Six rn, a fictional band which was really popular in the 70s but had a fallout and no one answered why, until 20 years later when they interview the band members and people involved with them, a documentary of sorts.
And I love that sort of thing.
So, idea: Bruce was a brilliant scientist and one day, he disappeared from the face of the earth (on the day of the gamma bomb test). They make a documentary about Bruce Banner in the 80s/90s.
None of his still living family members wanted to participate.
They pull in some other people.
Elementary school teacher: "He was gifted from a young age. Always on top of his class. Could read before he was four years old. But he wasn't really sociable. He didn't have any friends, no. The other kids quickly saw him as a target and ganged up on him."
"It was usually his mom who picked him up. Brian Banner, his father, was known to... Not be a pleasant person. A very angry and also insecure man.”
Former neighbor, “The neighborhood wasn't really a community. Except for church services, maybe. But yeah, you could hear screams from the Banner house very often. Mr and Mrs Banner went out a lot and the boy stayed with the Nanny. Highly unpleasant person as well. You didn't see her often but you knew that you just didn't want to talk with her.”
Bartender, “Brian Banner was a regular. Nobody liked him because he got really aggressive when drunk. And loud. He would often complain about his son, making claims about him being a monster. It was at these moments I was glad he was at the bar instead of at home.”
Former neighbor: “Rebecca did sport a black eye every now and then, no amount of make-uo was going to conceal that. Plus she wore long-sleeved shirts even in summer. She was a good woman. She didn't deserve what happened to her. But yes, the clues that something like this could happen were there.”
Reporter: “What happened?”
Police Officer #1: “We got a call. An accident with one person dead. We arrived at the scene and we all knew that this was no accident.”
Police Officer #2: “He was still kneeling beside her bleeding body. His hands, his face, his clothes, they were all covered in blood. I gave him a blanket, guided him away to our car. He didn't show any signs of emotions. But tears were running down his face. Suddenly, he said ‘She didn’t slip. "He killed her’.”
Police Officer #3: “I remember him. I couldn't ever forget that case. I was with him at the station while we waited for his aunt. He was sitting there all alone, wrapped in a blanket so I decided to get him a hot chocolate. You could see that he had it tough in life. There were bruises on his arms, some handshapped. I brought the hot chocolate over to him and he was holding out his arm. Was muttering something along the lines of ‘I can't find it’. I never understood it.”
Reporter: “You were his middle school teacher?”
Teacher #1: “Yes, I was.”
Reporter: “What do you remember about him?”
Teacher #1: “He was a real troublemaker. Not because of his grades, but he would cause scenes because he only ever wanted to work alone, which backfired multiple times. And his constant mumbling!”
Reporter: “Mumbling?”
Teacher: “Yes! He would talk to himself so often, even during class! And then he had the audacity to not even pay attention to the lesson!”
Schoolmate #1: “I was in the same class as him.”
“Ohh, yes, he mumbled to himself so often! Not even himself, his imaginary friend. Imaginary friend! We were teenagers and the guy still had an imaginary friend. Probably because no one else would willingly spend time with him.”
“Hulk. He always called him Hulk, yeah. Even wrote that name down in his notebook he always carried around.”
“He had this notebook and he would write in it whenever he could. Even during class.”
“I don't know what he wrote in it anymore. Some sort of equations.”
Carla, schoolmate: “He stepped in when Ken, the school bully, harrassed me. He didn't have to do that, but he did anyway.”
“Well, they… they beat him up. He had to go to the hospital. Broken ribs. But once he came back, he asked me if I was okay!”
“What I said? Erm, stuff I regret saying. I don't want to talk about it. We were teenagers and I had a lot to deal with already. I had my own insecurities and your reputation was really important back in school. It wasn't fair, yes, but I was just a girl.”
“He was a good person. Sure, he was weird, but he did not deserve to be bullied. Nobody does.”
Reporter: “How do you know Bruce Banner?”
Former college student #1: “We were roommates during college.”
Reporter: “What was he like?”
Former college student #1: “Smart. Passionate. Awkward. He was great at what he did, a real favorite amongst teachers. He studied with Stoddard, another gamma scientist. Stoddard was always jealous of Banner, because he worked much harder but Banner was the one who got all the praise.”
“It wasn't that Banner was lazy, he was just a genius who just instantly understood everything it seemed. When he had a problem, he would immediately try to solve it.”
Reporter: “How do you know Bruce Banner?”
“We were friends during college.”
“We had a study group in college and we would spend the weekends together too sometimes.”
“We were all nerds, which is why it was so easy to talk together. The rest? They didn't understand us. But we understood each other.”
Former college student #3: “We had fun sharing our interests, sharing knowledge, getting into rambles, going into hypothetical scenarios.”
Former college student #2: *rubbing the back of his neck* “What we would do in our free time together? Ehh.”
Former college student #3: “Drugs.”
Former college student #2: “It was the 70s and burnt out college students. I’m sure that’s all that you need.”
Former college student #1: “Once, I hadn't seen him for three days. I didn't think much of it until he came back. He looked really shaken up and spaced-out. Told me he was at a cafe three towns over. Apparently he had no idea how he got there and just walked back.”
“If he went to parties? Usually not. Except when he did. See, most of the time he was really timid. He was sure of himself, but still introverted. But when he did go out? The guy went all the way. Would even ask me if I wanted to come with him, which I declined. He was like a completely different person.”
Former college student #2: “We had a great time together. Parties were so fun! He really knew how to charm the ladies. It was like Clark Kent and Superman, one second an unassuming guy, the next, he knew how to read the room and what to say to people to get what he wants as if he could read their minds.”
Former college student #3: “Sometimes we would drive to a casino, he would make some money and afterwards we would get something to eat.”
Former college student #2: “And sometimes… Sometimes it seemed more like possession than a superpower. I remember one time we were in the car, mentally not 100% present and he asked really panicked ‘Where am I? How did I get here?’. And that whole confident demeanor? It was gone.”
Former college student #1: “Yes, this was not the only occurrence. Sometimes he would become… childish? He would talk in a few word sentences. I blamed it on sleep deprivation but when I asked him about it, he told me he didn't remember.”
Journalist: “What happened after Dr. Banner’s college time is mostly speculation. What we do know is that he tried to get funding for his research but was declined. As to what his idea consisted of, we have no idea. Eventually he would join the government and this was the last officially known thing about him. His contact with friends and family members became less and less. Of course, he had co-workers that would probably know more, but even the ones working with him are mostly classified and the ones we do know of were unable to be contacted. Eventually a missing person report was filed - and immediately closed. Did he die? Is he held captive? Did he see something he was not supposed to see? As of now, we don't have the answers. But there is hope that we one day will.”

BRUCE BANNER COMIC APPEARANCES RATED
no one was kidding when they said bruce banner had no consistent appearance. this is me failing to reconcile each one i’ve come across. send me more if you want me to rate them.
Matteo Scalera - Indestructible Hulk #9
point for looking fucked up. not a fan of the short hair, but maybe that’s because of the whole prisoner of SHIELD thing, so whatever. 1/10.
Ryan Ottley - Hulk (2021) #1
-10000/10 WHO IS THIS???? NOTHING TO INDICATE THIS IS A MAN OF SCIENCE, EVERYTHING TO INDICATE THE DIVE IN PLOT AND CHARACTERIZATION.
Derec Aucoin - Spider-Man Family #9
THE super nerd. a little young, but hides behind a thin veneer of calm well. the tweed and bowtie is an interesting choice. hope he doesn’t mind if they get ripped. 8/10.
Veronica Fish - Spider-Woman (2016) #11
a bit of a heart-throb???? looks like a long suffering grad student more than a man who’s been running from the military for years. where are his glasses? 4/10.
Lee Garbett - Immortal Hulk #6
super grizzled and super tired. trust me, this issue was exhaustion to the max. this is the haunted (hunted) man, and i’m honestly digging the flannel. gotta show those midwestern roots somehow. unfortunately all of these pluses don’t add up to an iconic bruce banner look, unless he was trying to steal wolverine’s. 5/10.
Adam Kubert - The Incredible Hulk (1968) #466
the scientist! prideful and yet kind, hiding a deep well of sadness and anti-military sentiments. 10/10.
Stefano Caselli - Avengers Assemble (2012) #9
glasses! scientist! a little tired but doing better :) 10/10.
Alan Davis - Totally Awesome Hulk #8
the smile! a very fresh bruce banner. looks like just some guy. 8/10.
Joe Bennett - Immortal Hulk #2
unfortunately i’m not a big fan of the detailed, almost grotesque art style. but, i concede that it’s fitting for this run. anyway, this is a very expressive and tired bruce that still tries. 7/10.
Tom Fowler - Hulk Season One
a dangerous bruce. a scientist and a loner that is intimately aware of the potential to do both harm and good. the glasses are used really well in this comic, trust me. 100/10.
Salvador Larroca - Avengers (2013) #28
okay, i think im going to get some flak for this, but i really like this bruce. dangerous, but still looks like a guy off the street. the hair has the perfect amount of flop. i’ll forgive the lack of glasses and round up. 10/10.
Larroca again! This time from the previous issue.
this alternate universe bruce is soft. a real deceptive one here. and tragic. he steals 616 bruce’s sandwich btw. that’s all i’ll say. 10/10.
Stefano Caselli again! This time from Avengers World #5
really showing us how even the same artist will draw the same guy differently. this time, Stark (tm) edition. unfortunately this means he fits the “asshole engineer” profile more than the “scientist” one. 6/10.
Mike McKone - Avengers: Endless Wartime
a scientist with sadness in his eyes, but he still finds things to smile about, maybe. probably more of a nervous smile. 9/10.
#bruce banner#616 bruce banner#marvel#i literally just started reading comics and this was amusing to me#i havent read all of these btw#but i think my opinions on the ones i have read have leaked a little#my criteria is that a good bruce looks like he could be a scientist#some guy#a dangerous man#and someone who would push a kid out of the path of a gamma bomb again#long post

In comics, he canonically had DID. And I could definitely see an argument made for autism.
Bruce Banner and The Hulk is used as a metaphor for autism and DID and I will fight you guys on this
because you’re gonna tell me that an intelligent scientist with 7 PhDs and ca easily recognize things like burning stars who’s extremely sensitive to loud noises and large crowds WITH an alter ego that comes out whenever he’s stressed/mad/angry/etc. ISN’T?
thank you for coming to my ted talk as someone who has only watched the movies

Don't hide this in the tags.
|| of course there is the mixture of animosity and friendship with Bruce/Hulk and Tony, but really why does no one ever talk about that very similar relationship with Wolverine?

What if they made a documentary about Bruce Banner after his death in Civil War II? They interview (former) colleagues, superheroes and family members. But they cut it in a way that makes it seem that they all dislike or hate him.
Bruce saw that documentary

I would love to know your thoughts on Bruce in Hulkverine (Ario Anindito) and avengers no surrender (Pepe Larraz) and the Immortal Hulk one shots (flatline: Declan Shalvey ; Great Power: Jorge Molina ; The Threshing Place: Mike Del Mundo)
Sorry I don't have good pics to share for any of them
No worries about sharing pics! I had a good time going through and searching for them (and I ended up reading Hulkverine lol).
Ario Anindito - Hulkverine #3
a very rough banner, the man on the run while investigating and helping. i like the slightly purple/blue hue on him, but he still reminds me of wolverine too much. (though, maybe that's deliberate?) 5/10.
Pepe Larraz - Avengers: No Surrender #690
digging the messy hair, and i can see the deep melancholy within him. but uh, im very confused about the rest of his hair. the back of it springs up like it's long in some panels? 7/10.
Declan Shalvey - Immortal Hulk: Flatline
i like this bruce. scraggly with the obligatory +10 stealth baseball cap. also, i gotta hand it to the writer who did all of the art, too! 8/10.
Jorge Molina - Immortal Hulk: Great Power
im muddled on this one. in some panels i can see the soft, troubled scientist. but, mostly i see superman??? i have to ask, why is he ripped???? how does he have the body of superman???? 3/10.
Mike Del Mundo - Immortal Hulk: The Threshing Place
i love this bruce. the science baseball cap for going incognito. the iconic purple. (and i love Del Mundo's style! soft and human.) his friendly, inquisitive expression that speaks to his confidence in understanding his state in the world. 10/10.
#thanks for the bruces :D#bruce banner#616 bruce banner#marvel#i also read threshing place since i saw that it was written by lemire!#probably going to end up reading the other oneshots#they looked nice too
