"I had that same thought if it's cloning. I've done a lot of tests to try and counter the mutation over the years, and it's very unlikely it could be duplicated the same way." Unlikely but not impossible. Bruce knew in science there were very few things that were fully impossible, at least in his experience. He is a walking talking impossibility most of the time. Kira's calm response is noted and comforting, although he knows most of the time hearing about the Hulk and witnessing him were two different things. "Then again, cloning me exactly but removing all of the radiation poisoning and mutation would be difficult too."

Bruce tilts his head thoughtfully. "It's not that surprising, to get the same powers but it to adjust to a body differently, there are too many factors as to why it works in one body this way. Originally our plan was to replicate an experiment that created a super soldier, and even in that original experiment, someone using similar technology and science went wrong chemically. The person in charge of it theorized that a good person would become better, and a bad person would become worse." There were science explanations of what he'd been saying, so it was a simplification at best. Did Steve turn out a success because he had a good heart?

"Mark?"
