Biography[]
Nick Fury, investigating a series of rumors concerning Bruce Banner, General Thaddeus Ross and their attempt to recreate Abraham Erskine's Super Soldier Serum, approached Banner at Kirby's trying to earn his trust but prompting him to leave in a hurry.[1]
Under Fury's orders, Agent Johnson started flirting with Banner, while Agent Peterson acted as her jealous boyfriend, threatening and manhandling Banner. Peterson punched Fury in the face when he tried to step in and continued to provoke Banner.
Despite Banner's warnings, he transformed into Hulk and tossed Peterson aside, knocking him out. Hulk started to wreck the whole bar until Fury, startled by this transformation, calmly tried to reason with Hulk, as the man inside wouldn't want to hurt innocent people. Fury's demeanor made Hulk leave Kirby's without hurting anyone else.[2]
