David was a genetic researcher. he experimented on himself, trying to improve the human DNA. when his wife gave birth to their son, Bruce, David realized that his mutant DNA was passed on. he attempted to find a cure for his son's condition. but when the government shut down his research, he destroyed the lab n caused the gamma reactor within the facility to explode. when David was put into a mental hospital, Bruce was brought up by foster parents, thinking that his real parents had died. Bruce grew up to be a lab researcher like his father. a minor experiment accident caused radiation to affect Bruce mutant DNA. soon after, the stress building up within him activated his DNA, tranforming him into Hulk. Major Talbot saw an opportunity to profit from Hulk's superhuman capabilities. he tried transforming himself into Hulk as well but failed n it led to his death. David appeared, absorbed the energy from a wire n transformed into an electrical being, challenging Hulk to a battle.

like most Chinese films, Ang Lee used the approach of constant Flashbacks n Dreams, which turned out to be rather annoying n frustrating. it slowed the pace of the whole film, broke off the current flow by going back to the past again n again, n again. instead of presenting the typical action packed n fast paced Marvel's film, Ang Lee tried to pack more details into the film for its viewers to absorb n digest. but unfortunately, many found it disappointing to have the whole Marvel's comic-movie feel ruined.
