Biography[]
Bruce Banner Manhunt[]
Working with General Ross[]
Sparr reports her findings to Thaddeus Ross
Sparr was among the United States Army officers in charge of the Project Gamma Pulse. Following the incident with Bruce Banner that transformed him into Hulk, Sparr accompanied Thaddeus Ross in his hunt for Banner. When Banner's blood contaminated a soda that was drunk by a man in Milwaukee, she informed Ross in his office at the Pentagon.
Sparr and Thaddeus Ross survey the mission
On the helicopter, Sparr briefed the team about their missions, making sure they understood that live fire was only to be used when necessary. These orders confused Emil Blonsky, who asked if Banner was a fighter. Ross simply replied that he was a fugitive. Once in Rocinha, Sparr stayed in the van with Ross and Monte, waiting for the Strategic Operations Command Center team to move in. She watched the monitor to track locations. However, the mission was unsuccessful.
Sparr finds Bruce Banner's computer
In the end, the only remaining soldiers were her, Ross and Blonsky, so they reconvened at Banner's apartment. Sparr found Banner's computer and opened it up, surprised to find a picture of a woman inside. The photo was snatched from her hand by Blonsky, who figured that Banner had a woman. Ross told him that the woman was out of the equation.[1]
Battle at Culver University[]
Sparr asks Thaddeus Ross about Betty Ross
- "Sir?"
- ―Kathleen Sparr to Thaddeus Ross[src]
Luckily, the Army tracked Banner to Culver University, where they planned on ambushing him. Sparr stayed in the tank and barked orders at Blonsky and the soldiers. Suddenly, a woman ran in front of the tank, forcing it to stop. She yelled for General Ross to come out. When she called him "father", Sparr turned to Ross in confusion. Ross then gave in and opened the door. The ambush forced Hulk to emerge as Ross sent the Stark Sonic Cannons and helicopters after him, despite his daughter's pleads. As rain fell down, Sparr watched as a helicopter crashed into Hulk as he protected Betty from the fire. Hulk gave Ross and his Army a look of anger before leaving with Betty.[1]
Tracking Banner[]
Sparr at a briefing
- "She's an annoying bitch."
"Why are you always hitting people?" - ―Emil Blonsky and Samuel Sterns[src]
Returning to the Pentagon, Sparr and the team were ordered to find Bruce Banner by any means necessary. They knew he was smart and would be hard to find. However, Sparr was at her computer when a hit popped up. She traced it into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s servers to find that Banner contacted Dr. Samuel Sterns at Grayburn College. She told this to Thaddeus Ross.
Sparr interrogates Samuel Sterns
The mission was successful as Banner was captured at the college, much to Ross' delight. Sparr went in to interrogate Sterns. During the interrogation, Sterns talked about his samples on Banner's blood, leading Sparr to ask if Sterns could make more like Banner. Sterns said it was unlikely he could replicate the same exact events that turned Banner into Hulk. Sparr asked another question, only to get interrupted by a deranged Emil Blonsky, who knocked her out from behind, exclaiming that she was annoying.[1]
