Glenn Talbot
Major (later Colonel) Glenn Talbot is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in Tales to Astonish #61 (November 1964).
He is a close compatriot to General Thaddeus Ross and an active participant in his operations to capture or kill the Hulk. His most significant blow is discovering and informing his superiors that Bruce Banner physically transformed into the Hulk, which made the scientist a wanted fugitive. Initially, Talbot was consistently portrayed as a courageous, resourceful, and fiercely patriotic man who puts the good of his country before all else. He is romantically attracted to Betty Ross, who is in love with Bruce Banner, which adds fuel to his enmity for the Hulk. Though Talbot was mostly used as a romantic rival and general adversary for Banner, the two sometimes worked together to battle greater menaces. Eventually, the character came to be portrayed as unsympathetic in his obsession with destroying the Hulk, and was embittered by the failure of his relationship with Betty Ross.
The character has appeared in various media adaptations, including novels, video games, animated films and TV series. In the 2003 film Hulk, he was portrayed by Josh Lucas, while Adrian Pasdar portrayed him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. In the latter series, he is an adversary and later begrudging ally to S.H.I.E.L.D. before becoming the show's version of Graviton.
Glenn Talbot was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1964 and first appeared in Tales to Astonish #61. He was a key character in the series' long-running story arc in which Bruce Banner/Hulk is suspected of being a communist traitor, and remained a part of the Hulk's supporting cast after Tales to Astonish was renamed The Incredible Hulk.
Glenn Talbot was a career military man. When Thunderbolt Ross contacts the Pentagon to investigate Bruce Banner, Talbot is put in charge of reviewing whether or not such an investigation is merited. After two weeks studying records of Banner's career, Talbot concludes that Ross' suspicions that Banner is a traitor are well-founded, and reports this to the Pentagon. The Pentagon responds by appointing Talbot security chief for Gamma Base, where Ross is the commanding officer. While reporting for duty to Ross, Talbot meets Ross's daughter Betty Ross, who is in love with Banner. He is immediately attracted to her and tries to court her without losing focus on his investigation of Banner, which Thunderbolt Ross encourages.
Talbot's suspicions of Banner are heightened when, upon Talbot's arrival at the base, Banner mysteriously goes missing in the hills nearby. When Banner disappears with the vital Absorbatron, orders are given to shoot him on sight, and Banner is apparently killed by a soldier. At Talbot's suggestion, the Hulk's frequent companion Rick Jones is taken into custody and confesses to Talbot that Banner is the Hulk.
Subsequently, the Hulk is found still alive, and is captured using a plan devised and orchestrated by Talbot. However, Hulk is freed by traitor Konrad Zaxon. Talbot later faces down Boomerang, preventing the villain from stealing the army's Orion Missile and sustaining a shrapnel wound. Despite this, Talbot is unable to convince Betty to relinquish her feelings for Banner, and he continually hopes that the army will be forced to kill Hulk, so that Betty will eventually forget him. Talbot finally succeeds and marries Betty, still attempting to keep her away from Banner and the Hulk.
Talbot takes a leave from Gamma Base and soon divorces Betty, who later admits to Rick Jones that she had never stopped loving Bruce Banner. Talbot continued battling the Hulk and tried to have Banner court-martialed. When Thunderbolt Ross has a breakdown, Talbot is promoted to Colonel. Later on, Hulk storms Gamma Base looking for his deceased love Jarella, who has been placed in cryogenic storage. Soon afterward, Congress cuts funds from Gamma Base and Talbot decides once and for all to stop the Hulk by using the War Wagon. However, he is killed in battle.
