The Incredible Hulk	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Incredible Hulk is a Live-Action Adaptation of the classic Marvel Comics character produced by Universal Television and developed by Kenneth Johnson, laced thoroughly with intentional Adaptation Distillation. Airing on CBS from 1977 to 1982, it starred Bill Bixby as Banner and bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno as his violent super-powered alter-ego.Preceded by a pair of Pilot Movies — The Incredible Hulk and Death in the Family (no, not that Death in the Family) — the series proper was in turn followed by three late-'80s Made for TV Movies. The first was a Poorly Disguised Pilot for a Thor series, the second was a Poorly Disguised Pilot for a Daredevil series (neither of which got made), and the last ended with the Hulk being Killed Off for Real, though this was not originally the intention, as the Hulk was going to be resurrected in a fourth film. However, it was cancelled due to low ratings, then any plans for a fourth film ended permanently with the death of Bill Bixby in 1993.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Oddly, despite the many radical changes made to the concept — ranging from the character's first namenote Depending upon who you talk to, either the producers didn't want an "alliterative comic-booky name", or they thought the first name "Bruce" sounded stereotypically gay. Though it's also quite likely that there was another famous Bruce used as a civilian identity. all the way up to his enemies and locale — it managed to embrace and faithfully support the core idea of the original comic book. It remains one of three superhero adaptations from the 1970s that is remembered fondly to this date, the others being Wonder Woman and Superman.

The Incredible Hulk / int_12e8e69b	comment	Jekyll & Hyde: In the pilot, David states, "I want to be Dr. Banner, not Dr. Jekyll!" Outright stated by David in "Married" when he is hinting his condition to Dr. Caroline Fields after she realizes who he really is. In "Deathmask," police officer Frank Rhodes is pursuing a man who murders college co-eds, and comes to believe David is the killer, not realizing that it's actually himself. Taken further in "Dark Side," where David develops an ID-driven split personality, which in many ways hews closer to the original novel. (David and "evil David" shared a consciousness, like the original Jekyll and Hyde, in contrast to David having no memory of the Hulk's actions.)

David, who had always clung to the belief that the Hulk would not kill anyone, is driven to the brink of suicide until he finds out the Hulk didn't do it. In The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, Daredevil suffers this after he falls into Fisk's trap and is overwhelmed until the Hulk saves him. Aside from the rigorous beating, the villains used intense sound to disorient him, so he thinks that means they know he's blind. David tries to shake him out of it by pointing out Fisk employed assorted disorienting techniques all at once, including bright lights.

The Incredible Hulk / int_1501e2dd	comment	Hero Antagonist: Jack McGee genuinely does think the Hulk is a threat to society but, despite that, won't let others kill him, for the sake of the Hulk's alter-ego. He could be considered a Hero of Another Story if his presence didn't constantly make David's situation worse. Some of that is David's fault: Jack becomes a far more sympathetic character as the series goes on, and is more than willing to help the man who becomes the Hulk find a cure, but David doesn't know this and only sees him as a threat rather than a potential ally. In at least two episodes ("Hulk Breaks Las Vegas" and "Prometheus"), Jack almost succeeded in having a calm conversation with Hulk/David, but, in both occasions, other people ruined these attempts.

His existence was acknowledged by police in many cities, and there were clear pictures of him published in various big-city newspapers (not just the tabloid McGee worked for). Yet somehow, the next town over, nobody had ever heard of this green creature before.

The Incredible Hulk / int_370aad9	type	Split Personality
The Incredible Hulk / int_370aad9	comment	Split Personality: Not necessarily. The Hulk is still David Banner, just regressed to an animalistic state. Which is why the Hulk refuses to kill people, and protects and responds to people who are important to David. This becomes more clear in the two-parter "The First," in which Dell Frye is presented as more power-hungry and less concerned with others' safety than David. His "Hulk" is likewise crueler and kills a man, which doesn't bother Dell. Played straight in the episode "Dark Side," where an attempt at a cure instead unleashes David's ID in the form of a second personality, only concerned with his own immediate needs and perfectly willing to use the Hulk to achieve them. David swaps back and forth between the two personalities during the course of the episode. The Hulk likewise becomes more aggressive and nearly kills several people before snapping back to normal. On the other hand, the third-season premiere "Metamorphosis" sees David affected by a powerful hallucinogen, and he starts having visions of the Hulk attacking him, which causes him to transform. As the Hulk, he then has visions of David, who he attacks immediately and violently, destroying the room and injuring a bystander. They may not be fully separate personalities, but each represent a part of the whole that the other hates.

The Incredible Hulk / int_5f52cfcf	comment	Intrepid Reporter: Jack McGee is a complicated example. McGee may be chasing a tabloid-like tale of a giant green monster (and gets mocked for it by his colleagues), but he's keen on reporting the truth. On occasion he reports on other breaking news and scandals that deserve coverage. Furthermore, when a hunter offers to kill the Hulk, McGee is the most adamant against that for the sake of the human containing the creature. He starts out as an Inspector Javert, but by the end of the series, he's a much more sympathetic Hero Antagonist. Other episodes show his fellow journalists in less-than-flattering lights. Emerson Fletcher in "Interview with the Hulk" is another complex example. He was a respected science reporter until his daughter's tragic death, at which point his career fell apart. He steals a tip from McGee about the Hulk in the hope that landing the story will help him regain his professional standing, and uses deception to get close to David and get him to tell his story. But after listening to David for a while, he starts to remember the integrity and decency he used to have, and by the time McGee catches up he has decided to help David escape.

The Incredible Hulk / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: Some of the changes from the comic resulted from different needs in the televised medium. The Hulk's inability to speak came because even consultant and co-creator Stan Lee agreed that Hulk Speak sounded silly spoken out loud. Fan lore suggested that Lou Ferrigno's hearing impairment was a factor, but the decision predated his casting and Ferrigno has handled spoken dialogue in many other roles. The Hulk's origin was changed from a nuclear test gone wrong to a lab accident due to the budget limitations of a TV show shooting in 1978.

Jack McGee is the only one who calls it "the Hulk" regularly (since he created the name for his newspaper), but even he calls it "the creature" from time to time.

When given descriptions of said "John Doe," he is most often described as about 34. Given that he was already a renowned researcher, he might have been older than that, since for a physician/scientist, being in his early 30s wouldn't make him that far removed from his medical school/residency days. At the time of the first TV movie, seven years had passed for him as in realtime. Add to the number of years that the series lasted, that would make him about eleven years older, so mid forties by 1988. Don Blake is said to be a contemporary of David, having been in the same class but he clearly looks like he would have still been in undergraduate college when David was already established in his career.

The Incredible Hulk / int_a5fb0d24	type	Healing Factor
The Incredible Hulk / int_a5fb0d24	comment	Healing Factor: While not as dramatic as in the original comics, the Hulk can recover from nearly any injury and with incredible speed. Also unlike the original comics, most of the healing seems to take place during the transformation itself. However, one transformation is not always enough for more serious injuries. In "The Harder They Fall," where Banner was paralyzed and later transforms, the Hulk initially flops around and pounds his numb legs, but after a few seconds he's capable of at least standing and hobbling along. When he changes back, David is able to trade his wheelchair for leg braces and crutches. Later, a second transformation fully restores his ability to walk. Another example is the first-season episode "Life and Death," where David is given a lethal injection of poison. The first transformation only partially gets rid of the poison, leaving both the Hulk and David groggy and dizzy, until the second transformation purges the rest. Another example: in "Two Godmothers," David's right hand is completely crushed by a boulder, triggering his first transformation, and his hand is still broken after he transforms and reverts. It's not until the second transformation that it's fully healed.

The Incredible Hulk / int_c819533b	comment	Rage Breaking Point: Used in most episodes to some degree, but one of the most infamous was in "Never Give a Trucker an Even Break." David's friend is locked in a nearby warehouse screaming for help, as she's surrounded by mobsters who want to beat her up and then kill her, so he tries to call the police at a nearby phone booth. First he calls the Operator, doesn't get an answer, and doesn't get his dime back (which isn't supposed to happen). Then he calls Directory Assistance. The DA operator is unable to return his dime or connect him directly to the police, and also annoys him with incessant (but practically speaking necessary) questions. She finally gives him the number for one of the local police departments. He hangs up, not getting his dime back again, and calls the number he was just given, only for the operator to demand 25 cents, which means DA didn't even give him the number of a local police station, but one further away! At that point:

The Incredible Hulk / int_cf511248	type	All Part of the Show
The Incredible Hulk / int_cf511248	comment	All Part of the Show: In "My Favorite Magician," David assists an elderly magician. As part of a trick, he is handcuffed in a glass box full of water, placed behind a screen. The handcuffs' key is supposed to be in the box's false bottom, but the magician forgot to place it there. Not finding the key and unable to hold his breath for much longer, David hulks out, breaking out of the box and bringing the screen down. The audience feels baffled for a moment, then applauds. A short while later, a middle-aged couple finds the Hulk outside the theater... and compliments his performance. When he reacts awkwardly to the camera's flash (yes, they wanted pictures of him), they simply regard it as "show folk" being eccentric. He is applauded again after the second hulkout of "King of the Beach." It's even more justified than the previous example, as he appears on the stage of the titular bodybuilding contest, an event in which the audience expects to see muscular men. It also happens that he has the same muscular build of one of the contestants and the contest's winner, Carl Molino, also played by Lou Ferrigno.

Obviously Elaina Marks' body is found (the Hulk carried her out of the building), hence her burial. But no human remains can be found that could be connected to David. It takes an extremely hot fire to destroy bones, and even then teeth usually survive. Then again, the fire was started by a chemical explosion and continued to send a column of flame high into the sky as it burned, so who-knows-what other chemical reactions and electrical shorts might have made the fire even hotter. There was also mention of faking a radiation leak in a way that implied such a leak would be plausible to actually happen; it might be that the site is considered too dangerous to go in and search through rubble for tiny little fragments and teeth, just to look for a man who was last seen trying to get inside and had no known reason to hide if he were still alive.

The episode’s Big Bad, however, was hidden nearby and shot Hulk’s shoulder, interrupting the transformation (which was in the very beginning) and making him flee. In “Prometheus,” David was locked in mid-transformation. This time, he was able to understand McGee’s words and was almost trusting him. But then, the guys near Jack decided to take a more violent approach, shooting David with tranquilizers and harassing a female friend near him. This completed his transformation into Hulk, then he saved the woman and fought the guys, fleeing with her afterwards.
