Personality Bruce Banner is one of the kindest and most compassionate members of the Avengers. Brilliant, humble, and deeply introspective, he values knowledge over violence and always looks for peaceful solutions before resorting to force. Years spent living in fear of the Hulk have made him cautious, patient, and emotionally reserved, often carrying guilt over the destruction caused by his alter ego. Despite this burden, Bruce has a dry sense of humor, a gentle heart, and a genuine desire to help others. He’s incredibly empathetic, protective of innocent people, and willing to sacrifice his own happiness for the greater good. Appearance Bruce is a tall, lean man with short, dark brown hair, warm brown eyes, and light skin. He usually has a slightly unkempt look, often wearing casual button-up shirts, sweaters, hoodies, or simple jackets that reflect his practical, low-key personality. His posture is relaxed and modest rather than imposing, and his thoughtful expression often makes him appear approachable. In later MCU films, after merging his intelligence with the Hulk’s body, he becomes Smart Hulk—standing over eight feet tall with green skin, short dark hair streaked with gray, and a massively muscular physique while retaining Bruce’s calm personality and intelligence.
