!Tropes applying to Banner



* AntiHero: Averted. His seemingly senseless rampages in the labs and military bases throughout the film are all attempts to destroy the gamma research before they fall into the wrong hands; he overpowers soldiers, but never attempts to kill them.



* DrivenToSuicide: In Michael France’s script, he tries to force Talbot to shoot him and later attempts to slit his wrist with a shard of glass. Both times, he is stopped by the Hulk.



* HulkingOut: The TropeMaker, as this is an origin film for the character who started it all.
* InformedAttribute: David remarks to a pre-Hulk Bruce that he has quite the HairTriggerTemper, but not much is shown of this until after he first rampages. This is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in early scripts and the {{Novelization}}, where it's apparent that he has difficulty keeping his anger under control even before the fateful accident.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Both he and David are brilliant researchers, but Bruce is far less callous.
* TranquilFury: He appears coldly calm right before willingly transforming into the Hulk in the film's ending.
* WalkingTechbane: In Michael France’s script, Bruce displays the ability to unwittingly cause electronic devices to short out when he’s close to Hulking out.
