Feeling responsible for Banner's condition and being the only person to know that the rampaging brute was actually Banner, Jones became the Hulk's sometimes unwanted companion and ally. This radiation triggered a mutagenic change in Banner, causing him to turn into the raging superhuman Hulk. Banner managed to throw Jones into a protective trench before the bomb detonated, but he himself was bombarded with gamma radiation. Robert Bruce Banner, designer of the Gamma Bomb to be tested, learned that someone had ventured onto the test site, and believing the countdown had been delayed, ran out into the desert to warn him back. He drove his car out to the test site to discover his challenger was too timid to show up. Overhearing a teen dare a friend to ride out with him on the desert where it was rumored an atomic bomb was going to be tested, Jones offered to take him up on the challenge. Īt the age of 16, he got his driver's license and managed to save enough money to buy a used car. He spent the first half of his teens drifting from town to town throughout the Southwest, trying to avoid the authorities, and doing menial work when he could get it. Soon afterward, Jones ran away from the institution. A troubled and rebellious youth, Jones soon came to the attention of the institution's chief administrator who smashed his guitar, a gift from his late father, and then had him severely thrashed. Richard "Rick" Jones was orphaned at a young age, and after being expelled from several orphanages for disciplinary reasons he was placed into a state institution called Tempest Town.
