During the confrontation, Banner's transformation into the Hulk is witnessed, and he is forced to flee.
Banner returns to the United States to seek out Dr. Samuel Sterns, a scientist who has been researching gamma radiation. In exchange for his help, Banner gives Sterns his own blood samples, hoping that he can create a cure. Unfortunately, Blonsky, who has become obsessed with gaining power and defeating the Hulk, undergoes a dangerous procedure to become a super soldier, and ends up becoming the monstrous Abomination.
