Thats Right!  It is Bruce Banner, aka "The Incredible Hulk."

Some fans of Marvel say that the Incredible Hulk is the ultimate Avenger who cannot be beaten.  But what exactly causes this to hold true amongst most marvel-related conversations?  In order to answer that, we must first take a look at the origin of this unnatural-being.  The Hulk first appeared in "The Incredible Hulk," may of 1962.  Shortly after this series began, the Hulk was cancelled.  Most people speculate that this was due to the lack of enthusiasm that readers seemed to hold for the new character.  The original comics display a constant-battle for the character struggling between being an intelligent-genius and at other times a criminal.  The Hulk slowly started making cameos in other comic books, this gave the green monster the necessary push into the iconic hero we see today.

How did Bruce Banner come across this horrific fate?

This all aspired from Bruce Banner absorbed massive amounts of gamma radiation in attempts to discover the super-soldier serum that attributed Steve Rogers (Captain America) to his abilities.  Banner is always portrayed as a sarcastic physicist, who is emotionally withdrawn.  This could be due to the ironic twist that his exposure to gamma radiation happened at his own expense.  This accident left Bruce Banner living as a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," sort of theme as the character is always struggling for control over the beast.  The Hulk has several arch-enemies, among these are "The Abomination," who is more monstrous than the Hulk and wreaks havoc for fun and pleasure.

The Incredible Hulk was originally grey, the authors (Stan Lee and Jack Kirby) wanted the character to not affiliate with any others.  But problems with Xerox machines at the time led to an inconsistency in the "grey-ness" of Hulk, which ultimately led to the change into our Green Avenger known today.
