* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The show took bits and pieces from Hulk's then-35 year history and compressed them into an animated series. Everything is covered, from Bruce becoming the Hulk, to Bruce trying (and failing) to find a cure, Hulk being incredibly protective of Betty, and the origins of Leader, {{spoiler|Sasquatch, and Wendigo}}. The Abomination's origin, however, wasn't covered, since we don't know whether or not he's Emil Blonsky, a random [[Mook]], or a genetic creation of the Leader. Also Bruce's abusive father issue was never used. But we guess one [[Jerkass]] father was enough already. In this case, Betty's.
