[[Thaddeus Ross]] and the [[Strategic Operations Command Center]] located [[Bruce Banner]]'s house and burst in to shoot him with tranquilizer ammo, but Banner fled through the window and momentarily hid with [[Martina]] at her house, in order to deceive the military.

"This is the target and the location. Snatch and grab, live capture. You'll have your dart clips and suppression ordnance, but live fire is for backup only. We got local out there, but we want it tight and quiet."
Kathleen Sparr[src]

The Ambush in Rio de Janeiro was a coordinated operation issued by the United States Army which sent soldiers from the Strategic Operations Command Center to capture Bruce Banner in Rio de Janeiro.

Background

"It's a possible gamma sickness. Milwaukee. A man drank one of those guarana sodas. Guess it had a little more kick than he was looking for."
"Where was it bottled?"
"Porto Verde, Brazil."
"Have our people look for a white man at the bottling plant."
Kathleen Sparr and Thaddeus Ross[src]

Bruce Banner was doused with an immense amount of gamma radiation, but caused him to transform into a giant, green-skinned, muscle-bound titan with incredible strength. As an enraged and nearly mindless creature, Banner destroyed his lab, injuring Betty Ross, killing two scientists and an army officer, and also crushing General Ross' arm. After Ross admitted to Banner that he did not allow his monstrous form to be used as a weapon in combat, he then his troops would come after him, leading Banner into becoming a fugitive.

Now in hiding, Banner lived in Rio de Janeiro as a mechanic in a soda-bottling company. Once he was done working for the day, Banner prepared to go home, only to witness Martina being harassed by a Tough Guy Leader. Banner eventually intervened and tried to warn him but got his language wrong and claimed he would not like him when he was hungry, not angry, before then leaving.

Once the news of a drop of Banner's blood fell into a soda and was ingested by a customer in Milwaukee, Kathleen Sparr told Ross while he was in the Pentagon about a man in the hospital suffering from Gamma Radiation poisoning. Ross assembled a team to capture Banner, while Joe Greller recruited Emil Blonsky to lead the team.[1]

General Thaddeus Ross told Emil Blonsky the truth about the Hulk, explaining that the monster was Banner, although he refused to give any more details at this time. Blonsky later met with General Thaddeus Ross where Ross then explained that Hulk was created accidentally during an experiment in radiation-resistance that was inspired by World War II, the Super Soldier Serum. After talking about the classified information, Blonsky was intrigued enough to volunteer as a test subject to compete with Banner.[1]
