Powers:
Who's the Big Guy?: The Hulk, being the massive monstrosity that he is, enjoys the benefits of his size: immeasurable strength, near-limitless endurance, and depending on his form, maintenance of his human intelligence.
I'm Beggin' You- Knock It Off: Rule 1 of the Hulk states that the angrier he gets, the stronger he gets. Needless to say, this often serves to sway the odds of a fight in his favor
Winning Personality: Benjamin (usually) enjoys disciplined control over each of the variations of his Hulk persona, with varying benefits. In other words, depending on the nature of each transformation, the Hulk might possess his alter ego's intelligence (if in a calm, controlled scenario) or experience unbridled rage, further heightening his strength (if angered beyond his normal threshold for self-control.)
No One's Gonna Notice the Scar: Besides having impenetrable skin, the Hulk also possesses a limited healing factor. (He rarely demonstrates this talent, however, as he has never been forced to this point of injury.)
Skills:
Stay In School: Benjamin is nowhere near the level of prodigious intelligence demonstrated by Dr. Banner, but he does have an impressive understanding of radiological science.
Pick One- They're All Winners: Ben has managed to develop a varying degree of control over his transformations, relegating his skill sets to whatever he deems necessary, and thereby (occasionally) balancing his intelligence and power.
Weaknesses: (3 minimum)
1.) There's the Line: Ben has yet to lose control of his Hulk persona to the point that he has caused a loss of innocent life. Theoretically, though, he is still vulnerable to such an event, if he were ever to become incapable of suppressing his rage.
2.) Maybe I Should Sit This One Out- Although he often demonstrates suitable control over his bigger half, Ben is often reluctant to be forced into situations which deny him the ability to exercise caution, due to his fear of harming innocents.
3.) Leave the Nerd Alone: Ben, in his human form, is susceptible to attack- however, given the restorative potential of his powers, it is unlikely that any basic attack would be effective in the long run if he were to turn green (or any other color.) However, this would still be the most effective time to attack him with any gamma-based technology.
4.) Temper Tantrums: His emotional state at the time of his transformation affects the nature of his Hulk persona- the angrier he is when he changes, the less control he’ll have, whereas if he’s dedicated and clear-headed in regards to the cause, he’ll have more.
-Green: The most well-balanced of his forms, the green Hulk is a central balance for Ben, allowing him to retain his basic understanding of his human emotions and speech, as well as allowing him to grow stronger as he gets angrier, his primary strength as a Hulk.
-Red: His red form emerges when the transformation is prompted by a scenario that drives Ben into a fury without allowing him time to reconcile his anger. Therefore, he is far stronger than his green and grey personas at the moment of the change, but at the cost of almost all of his human senses. His is usually unable to distinguish friend from foe in this state.
-Grey: The weakest of the Hulks, the grey Hulk is also the most intelligent. Ben maintains almost all of his intelligence in this state, and it is the only one which he can achieve on his own (without any outside influence.)
FAMILY:
Mother: Unknown
Father: Unknown, although Dr. Banner served as a mentor
Siblings: Unknown
Children: None
Extended family: N/A
THE REST[/u][/b]
Personality:
Bennie is known by his acquaintances as a laid-back, friendly individual, but he wasn't always this way. When he was left to an orphanage, still a baby and with no identification, he was crying, much as he would be for the next few years. However, at the age of eighteen, shortly after his first incident, he began to develop into a soft-spoken and genial presence. Eventually, as he traveled and studied in an attempt to learn to control his new powers, he became the confident, well-rounded man that would be known and appreciated by his heroic friends and average citizens alike.
History:
Bennie spent the first sixteen years of his life living in an orphanage in New York City. He was quiet, shy, and studious, but otherwise unremarkable. He endured countless muggings, senseless ridicule, and endless self-loathing and resentment in this time.
After graduating public high school, he was accepted into a community college on the unsteady promise of scholarships, grants, and loans- these due to his near-perfect scores on state tests. It was there that he adopted an interest in radiology, aspiring to be a doctor. Even at this age, he strove only to help others who couldn't help themselves.
One day while visiting a laboratory as part of a work-study program, Benjamin was offered an internship. This soon turned into an early and promising career as part of a team that was trying to replicate the work of Bruce Banner with the hope that they could develop new uses for his technology. Banner himself oversaw the project, and had taken a liking to Ben, sometimes staying late to educate the latter on some of the finer points of his technologies.
One night, after a fresh round of calibration, Ben found himself staring at a machine that resembled, if in structure alone, the bomb that had given Banner his powers years before. Ben believed that he had created a machine that would supply a consistent source of clean, renewable energy, but without the precipitant risks of constant exposure. He was only half-right.
A few days after his initial construction of the machine was completed and the rest of his team had gone home to their families, Ben, who had none, was working late. It was then that he passed out, and then transformed for the first time as the machine spontaneously activated (along with the corresponding security protocols which trapped him inside the building.)
Regaining consciousness in his massive, green new form, two things were instantly clear to Ben. First, he was not a monster- not mentally, anyway. He had, for some reason, maintained his intelligence, even while his body changed, although, as he would find out, this was not always to be the case.
Secondly, he knew he couldn't stay here, in this lab, or even in his old life. He considered leaping threw the ceiling, leaving a massive hole for the janitor to report in the morning.
Thinking instead that that would be too expensive to replace, the Hulk took the freight elevator two floors down, and walked into the night to find trouble, and fix it. Meanwhile, Ben, curiously serene inside this monstrous new body, smiled.

Sample RP:
Ben couldn't believe it.
They were still shooting.
The Hulk was standing in front of about a dozen angry men. And each one was emptying the clip of a different automatic weapon into his chest.
He thought it would be impolite to yawn, so when the urge came, he covered his mouth with his hand. He couldn't quite pull it off without them noticing, though, and it shocked one or two of them into ceasing fire. Eventually, the others followed suit.
"Alright," his booming, gravelly voice came out, somehow still sounding good-natured, "Great! So I just came here to tell you... that human trafficking... is wrong." One of the women sitting on the ground behind the men with her hands and legs bound uttered a desperate, crazed laugh, and Ben's face lit up in response. He tilted his green face, which was a little over eight feet above the ground, to look at her with a reassuring (he hoped) smile. "My lady in the back! She gets it!" He returned his attention to the men.
"So if any of you gents have anything else you want to try shooting at me, now is definitely the time. Later is too late, I'm tellin' you. Because-" He was interrupted by one of the men in the back of the group who, having noticed Ben turn his attention to the woman, was now standing her up with a gun against her head.
"Alright," he said in a tone of mingled exasperation and regret.
Ben's eyes widened for a moment before he broke into a smile, closed his eyes, and sighed.
Then he roared, causing the man to drop both the gun and the woman before stumbling to the ground himself, and then the Hulk leapt, and set about his business.
