The Monster
Bruce Banner was more than the Hulk, more than a scientist- he was a person. A real person with real thoughts and feelings. He wasn't just a monster.
He was a smart man; arguably one of the smartest in the world, yet he still couldn't understand why he was so overlooked and forgotten.
Maybe the Hulk’s shadow was too big- or maybe, just maybe, Bruce Banner was too small.
He had one of the biggest brains on earth, yet all he'd be remembered for was being the Hulk.
It was a cruel play by the universe, to test him, to ruin him, but he would not be broken anymore.
Bruce Banner may not look like much, but he was an Avenger in his own right, Hulk or not, and he refused to be forgotten, to be pushed aside.
He was Bruce Banner, a brilliant scientist trapped inside a monster for whom he'll be forever known.
