Scientist Dr.Robert Banner receives a huge dose ot gamma rays while working on a nuclear bomb.Gamma rays are real enough,being produced by nuclear explosions,but thebad news is that the gamma radiation that gave Robert Banner his powers would only have caused fatal radiation sicknesss in real life.
Forgetting that minor point Lois Gresh author of Science and Superheroes argues its just possible to create a believable version of the Hulk.Baner could take large amounts to (highly dangerous) anabolic steroidds to produce that pumbed-up look,which real life could cause his nolorious rages,as they increase aggressive moodswings.As for the green skin,French genetic researchers hve at least created a glowing green rabbit by genetic engineering,using fluorescent protein.
