In a U.S. Military Base on the East Coast of the United States, an energetic old man in a General's uniform, led by his Deputy, quickly entered the Base's infirmary.
As soon as he entered the infirmary, he fixed his gaze on a man who was almost naked.
This was an extremely robust man; although not tall, his entire body's muscles looked very sharp, and it was almost visible to the naked eye that this was a very formidable man, of course, from a Soldier's perspective.
However, the General did not come specifically to see his physique; he was looking at his transformation.
Because he clearly remembered that a few weeks ago he had been severely injured during a classified mission, with almost all his bones shattered.
At the time, the Doctors all said that his survival was a miracle.
And now, he was perfectly fine.
From the medical examination report alone, his physical condition not only showed no abnormalities but even far exceeded normal human values.
From this point of view, something extremely important seemed to have happened to him, something very important to this General.
The General, unable to suppress his inner excitement, spoke to the patient who had just undergone a drastic change.
"How do you feel, Bronski!"
Emil Bronski.
This was the name of the man whose body had undergone a drastic change.
From his name, it was clear that he was a Russian.
He had once belonged to the Soviet Union's KGB.
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he joined the British Royal Marines and was subsequently seconded to the SEALs.
As a Soldier, he was absolutely top-notch.
And, since he started working for this General, he had begun to rise from that top-tier Rank.
Strictly speaking, he was no longer an ordinary Soldier, but a Super Soldier.
"I feel very good, General Ross.
Also, I'm very angry, I now really want to find that guy again and have a good fight with him!"
Upon hearing the General's question, Bronski replied.
However, from his words, one could feel how unwilling he was about his defeat, and how much he wanted to find the guy who had defeated him and compete with him again.
This U.S. Army Lieutenant General, whom he called General Ross, was Thaddeus Ross, the head of the super soldier program and also the pursuer of Hulk.
He oversaw the development of the super soldier program, so naturally, he regarded Hulk, who appeared due to an accident in this program, as his own creation.
He pursued Hulk globally, aiming to uncover the secrets of his body and replicate his abilities.
For this, he had sacrificed many Soldiers, and Bronski was one of them, but he was very lucky.
Because he survived Hulk's hands.
General Ross naturally heard his words, and he paused for a moment before speaking seriously to Bronski.
"Bronski, you should know.
You are not his opponent!"
"I know, General!"
"I understand perfectly!" Bronski interrupted General Ross impatiently, his expression becoming very excited.
"But General, you should also know that among your subordinates, I am the only one who can fight that big guy.
And I think I am the most qualified person to fight him, as long as..."
"As long as?"
Hearing the unspoken meaning in Bronski's words, General Ross couldn't help but frown.
Strictly speaking, he didn't like this Soldier.
He was too arrogant and had a history of disobeying orders.
Although his abilities were strong, as the developer of the super soldier program, what he valued least was individual ability.
The purpose of the super soldier program was to turn all Soldiers into Super Soldiers, which meant elevating all Soldiers to a superhuman level, not just a select few.
Bronski thought his Superman level would attract General Ross's attention, and he might even be able to make some unreasonable demands.
This was actually a very wrong choice.
It would only make General Ross's impression of him worse and worse.
However, he was right about one thing: he was General Ross's only Soldier currently capable of fighting Hulk, and his only viable combat force.
For no other reason than that he was the only one under his command who had successfully activated the super soldier serum.
Of course, this super soldier serum was not the one that created Captain America, but something General Ross had replicated over the years based on the data left behind at the time.
Regrettably, although the item was replicated, its effect was not obvious.
In fact, it even carried certain dangers.
This was what troubled General Ross the most.
Because this super soldier serum was, strictly speaking, a failure; its success rate was too low.
So far, there has only been one case, and that is Emil Bronski.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
General Ross didn't have a habit of guessing other people's thoughts.
Although he didn't like Bronski, he had no other choice.
Because, as he himself said, he was the only one who could fight Hulk.
"I want another injection of that stuff."
Hearing the compromise in General Ross's tone, Bronski, thinking the General had developed a soft spot for talent, excitedly put forward his request.
"But this time, I want a larger dosage."
"No!"
Hearing this, General Ross immediately refused.
"That stuff is very dangerous, the chances of you surviving a second injection are very small!
Once it fails, Soldier, you'll just die on the operating table!"
He used a very clear explanation to tell Bronski what the outcome of failure would be.
However, this was not out of concern for his life, but out of concern that he would lose a Sharp Weapon capable of fighting Hulk.
Although he had already determined that Bronski was no match for Hulk.
"General, listen.
You finally found his tracks, didn't you?"
Bronski began to try to persuade General Ross; he was a fanatical combat enthusiast, and as long as he could get an exciting fight, danger was completely unimportant.
"But you can't catch him.
Last time we already tried.
You used every weapon you could, including ultrasonic weapons.
But for him, it was completely useless."
"These weapons didn't last as long as I did, did they?"
"And General, after I failed, you could only choose to retreat, watching him escape right before your eyes.
And he took your daughter with him!"
Hearing this, even the composed and steady General Ross couldn't help but twitch his face.
This was a thorn in General Ross's heart, which Bronski had now brutally pulled out and then stabbed back in again.
His daughter, Betty Ross, was Bruce Banner's lover.
And ever since Bruce Banner became General Ross's most wanted, his daughter, almost without any hesitation, sided with Bruce Banner.
And she repeatedly provided him with help.
This was one of the things he hated most, and also one of the things that made him feel most disgraced.
The reason he treated Bruce Banner this way, besides his identity as Hulk, was also because in his eyes, Banner was the cause of the conflict between him and his daughter.
This is almost every father-in-law's attitude towards his son-in-law in the World.
Of course, he was definitely the most extreme kind.
Bronski successfully hit General Ross's sore spot, and this also made him make up his mind faster.
Originally, he had kindly thought that if Bronski could survive, he would let him live, but now he had already categorized Bronski as a worthless experiment.
Since he himself wanted to die, General Ross naturally wouldn't stop him.
At the same time, he also wanted to see if his super soldier serum had any further potential.
"Come find me when you're better; I'll arrange another injection for you."
General Ross agreed to Bronski's request so calmly, appearing very easy to talk to.
But how could Bronski know that his life had already been categorized as worthless by the man in front of him?
However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.
He himself didn't care much about his own life.
"General, I think I can do it now."
He seemed enthusiastic, or rather, impatient.
That expression was unlike any other experimental subject General Ross had ever seen.
"Follow me!"
General Ross instructed his Deputy and then led Bronski to the depths of the Base.
That was where he stored everything related to the super soldier program, and also where Bronski would receive his injection.
Bronski had been here once before, and it was then that he gained superhuman strength.
So, for this second trip, he was very excited.
"Anything else you want to say, Bronski?"
Looking at the Doctor already waiting there, General Ross narrowed his eyes and asked.
The reason he asked this was actually akin to asking for a last will.
However, Bronski did not understand his meaning.
Facing General Ross's question, he appeared arrogant and confident.
"It's time to put me and that guy on the same starting line, and make this game a little fairer!"
Watching this guy walk forward without hesitation and begin to receive the intensely painful spinal injection, General Ross had only one assessment.
That he was a madman, a true madman.
But perhaps only a madman can fight a monster.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly had this thought and a strong premonition.
He felt that Bronski would pull through, and would become even stronger.
This was something he had never thought of before, but at this moment, it suddenly appeared in his mind.
He began to have confidence in this surgery.
However, before the surgery was even over, his assistant rushed over.
"General, we've detected the target's communication information.
And we already know his objective!"
This news immediately made General Ross unable to restrain himself.
At this moment, he didn't care about Bronski at all.
Because after witnessing Hulk's power, this thought had already formed in his mind.
Hulk, was the most perfect creation he had ever seen.
