The curiosity to learn about Bruce Banner’s family tree was urged after we witnessed the discussion between Jennifer Walters and Bruce Banner about who is the smartest in their family, in the first episode of She-Hulk.

To the discussion in the car right before their accident, Jennifer says to Bruce, “You are not the only one smartest in the family!”. To which, Bruce replies, “No, I think there is also Ched.” 

So, now we know that Bruce Banner has smart cousins, and as per MCU, we know two of them, Jennifer and Ched. But, what is the family tree of Hulk as of comics? Let’s shed some light to it!

Bruce is son to Brian Banner and Rebecca Banner in Earth 616. As per the comics, Bruce Banner, a.k.a Hulk was cloned and he was named as Behemoth.

Brian was an abusive husband and hated his mutated son. At one point of time, Brian killed Rebecca and was sent to some mental hospital.

Later Bruce was raised by his father’s sister, Susan Banner, who supported him throughout his pain and rage that resulted in his childhood sufferings.

Over time, Bruce started talking about how he got an imaginary friend named ‘Hulk’ who resides within him. It was his alter ego that held onto all the rage and fear he had since his childhood.

And this is the reason his alter-ego is angry and makes him stronger to never feel the fear again.
