Greg Banner becomes a cop in 1946. On his first week of patrol, he is so nervous that he pulls the trigger on his pistol once before he even takes it out of the holster. Banner has been on the force for three weeks before he makes his first arrest – a strong arm robbery on a funny, little fruit stand. In "The Bionic Badge", Banner becomes a suspect when a series of thefts of atomic components occur on his beat, and it appears that he makes no effort to stop the robberies.
