Rebecca Banner was the mother of
Bruce Banner and wife of
Brian Banner. However, the two disagreed on whether or not to have children. When Brian begins working at a government project in
Los Alamos, the stress of the job leads him to begin drinking, causing him to become more erratic and quick to anger. Despite his behavior, Rebecca stayed with Brian, hoping things would turn around. After accidentally overloading equipment while drunk, Brian is fired, and believes that the radiation affected his genetic structure. After Bruce's birth, he is shown to be completely normal, but Brian believes that the radiation has affected him as well and will transform him into a monster. This leads him to become abusive towards Rebecca and Bruce and eventually kill the former, traumatizing Bruce. Years later, when Brian is released from prison, he assaults Bruce at the cemetery where Rebecca is buried. During the attack, Bruce snaps and kills his father in self defense, finally avenging his mother. During
Chaos War, Rebecca and Brian Banner are temporarily resurrected after
Death leaves the underworld. ==Other versions==
