What Season 5 of The Incredible Hulk

David Banner is a physician and scientist at the Culver Institute in California. After the death of his wife, Laura, in a car accident, he devotes his research to people capable of superhuman strength in extreme situations. Together with Dr. Elaina Marks, he tests his theory on his own body. Without supervision, he is exposed to gamma radiation in a recalibrated machine that delivers an enormous dose. On a rainy night, while changing a tire, his rage sparks a transformation that turns him into a giant with green skin. Banner tries to hide his secret while reporter Jack McGee follows his trail. Each episode brings a new problem: a rookie player tangled up with a crooked agent, three escaped inmates who kidnap him, or a convent where he protects a wounded boy who arrived from Mexico.
