## Synopsis

The Incredible Hulk (1982-1983) is an American animated superhero series created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby for NBC. Voiced by Michael Bell as the scientist Bruce Banner, the show follows a gentle researcher who transforms into the enormous green Hulk whenever his anger rises, a power he must keep hidden from the army and from his friends. Michael Horton voices his loyal companion Rick Jones, B.J. Ward voices Betty Ross, and Robert Ridgely voices General Ross, the military man determined to capture the creature. Bob Holt voices the Hulk himself, and Stan Lee narrates the adventures. Each half-hour episode is a self-contained case of the week, with the hero dodging pursuit, protecting ordinary people from villains and monsters, and grappling with the cost of his double life. The thirteen-episode run was a single season broadcast on NBC as part of a combined hour with Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Unlike the earlier live-action series of the 1970s, this cartoon embraces the fantastical elements of the comics and the original characters from the source material. The tone is earnest, bright and action-driven, with a wholesome, comic-book sincerity. Fans of Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Batman: The Animated Series will find a similar nostalgic, family-friendly adventure rooted in classic Marvel storytelling.
