Gamma ray projector

The Gammay ray projector is a fictional technological item featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is part of the mainstream Marvel Universe and is frequently seen in the Hulk family of titles. The Gamma ray projector first appeared in Incredible Hulk, Volume 1 #2 in July, 1962.

The Gamma Ray Projector was an immense device that harnessed and projected beams of concentrated gamma radiation. Inventor Robert Bruce Banner designed the projector based on the same technology that he used when creating the Gamma Bomb that first transformed him into the incredible Hulk. Also referred to as the Gamma Gun, it was first used when Banner needed it to repel an invasion of alien Tribbitites.

Banner then created a second, smaller Gamma ray projector, which he secretly erected inside his sanctuary cave. He left operating instructions with Rick Jones who in turn used it to give the Hulk restricted doses of Gamma radiation. These treatments enabled Bruce Banner to maintain his intellect while still in the form of the Hulk.
