In "The Incredible Hulk," what triggered Dr. Banner's transformation into the Hulk?

  • Sunlight

  • Radiation

  • Anger

  • Cold

Answer

Anger triggers Dr. Banner's transformation into the Hulk. This is because of his traumatic childhood experience, where his overwhelming rage and resentment lead him to develop multiple personality disorder. As an adult, whenever Banner becomes enraged, his body releases a massive dose of gamma radiation, causing him to morph into the enormous, green, and superhumanly strong Hulk, a personification of his repressed rage.
