The following two entries contain information of the Hulk and Abomination, featured in the upcoming Incredible Hulk film. Let's start off with everyone's favorite jolly green giant... The Hulk!
After physicist Dr. Robert Bruce Banner was caught in the blast of a gamma bomb he created, he gained the ability to transform into the Hulk (in times of anger or stress), a giant, green-skinned monster of sheer strength and anger. The character, both as Banner and the Hulk, is frequently pursued by the police or the armed forces, often as a result of the destruction he causes. Originally portrayed by Eric Bana in the 2003 Hulk film directed by Lee Ang, Bruce Banner/The Hulk will be portrayed by Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk, who also wrote the script alongside Zak Penn for the new film.
The Hulk possesses the potential for limitless physical strength depending directly on his emotional state, particularly his anger. This has been reflected in the repeated comment "The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets." His durability, healing, and endurance increase in relation to his temper. The Hulk is also extremely resistant to most forms of injury or damage, including physical, psychic, environmental extremes, and is immune to disease and poisons. His powerful legs allow him to leap into lower Earth orbit or across continents. He has been shown to have both regenerative and adaptive healing abilities; he could heal from almost any wound within seconds, including regenerating lost mass. The Hulk is very heavily muscled and this can be seen through his skin as he has almost no fat in his body. His green skin seems to be a result of his green mutated blood as evidenced by the green veins that appear all over Banner's body as he changes.
The 2008 film version of the Hulk seems to be more of an offshoot of Banner and the personification of his rage and aggression, however Hulk's own personality starts to appear towards the end. The Hulk sees the world and reacts to it like a very angry newborn; he shows aggression to anything that attempts to hurt him or caused the anger that made Banner become him (which is all the time), and he treats anything that isn't automatically seen as a threat with a great curiosity reminiscent of a baby just beginning to explore its surroundings. Unfortunately like a newborn, he also acts on immediate emotion, which of course most of the time is anger.

As Bruce Banner (and the Merged/Professor Hulk), he is considered one of the greatest minds on Earth. He has developed expertise in the fields of biology, chemistry, engineering, and physiology, and holds a Ph.D. in nuclear physics. He possesses a mind "so brilliant it cannot be measured on any known intelligence test".
Banner is (unsurprisingly) extremely fearful of becoming the Hulk and takes many steps to ensure that he doesn't transform, e.g. meditation, breathing techniques and wearing a heart-rate monitor device to ensure his heartbeat doesn't go above the 200 beat mark, which is one of the signs he is about to change. Banner can't engage in any activity that will cause his adrenaline levels to soar; this includes any situation that could make him very angry, scared, excited, etc. Evidence in regards to excitement is shown in a funny but poignant scene where he starts to make love to Betty, but has to stop mid-way because his heart rate monitor starts beeping rapidly, and he knows that too much excitement could cause a "Hulk Out".
