Defense Department, he noticed a teenager wander onto the testing site as it was beginning to count down. Bruce rushed out and pushed him out of the way as the bomb went off.

The Hulk has many different abilities. These abilities mainly revolve around his superhuman strength. His strength is almost limitless since it increases in proportion to how angry he gets. The Hulk leaps great distances that can be over several miles long. He leaps because although his leg muscles allow him to run at very fast speeds, he destroys the ground that he is running on, which means he can`t gain any traction. He can clap his hands together in order to create a shockwave that can move things. The Hulk is also highly resistant to damage such as poison, diseases, and extreme temperatures. He also recovers from damage at an impressive rate. His recovery encompasses regeneration of vital organs, limbs, and destroyed tissue. The Hulk`s body also allows him to not be affected by sudden changes in altitude. This same ability allows him to breathe underwater. The Hulk`s skin is also capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. He can withstand temperatures between three thousand degrees and negative one hundred ninety degrees.
