Also introduced were theHispanic family of Rio and his daughter Rita, the father and his efforts to advertise his restaurant (Rio's Rancheros) providing more chances for comic relief and Rita providing a love interest for Rick Jones.
In this incarnation, Betty (voiced byB.J. Ward)[1] is a research scientist working alongside Bruce Banner atGamma Base, and is unaware (as are most of the series regulars, other than Rick Jones) that Banner transforms into the Hulk.
She-Hulk appeared in the 1982 animatedThe Incredible Hulk series broadcast onNBC, voiced byVictoria Carroll. The eleventh episode is entitled "Enter: She-Hulk" and covers She-Hulk's origin (an emergency blood transfusion), which had Bruce Banner seeking She-Hulk's help in retaining his mind when he transforms into the Hulk. This She-Hulk is based upon her depiction in theSavage She-Hulk comic.

The Puppet Master appeared in the episode "Bruce Banner: Unmasked" voiced byBob Holt. He gets control of the residents in Mesa City while also attempting to control the Hulk (his Hulk 'doll' even allows him to exert some slight influence over Bruce Banner, although Banner simply feels uncomfortable rather than falling under the Puppet Master's control) simultaneously causing the Hulk's true identity to be revealed. The only person he doesn't make a puppet of is his stepdaughter Alicia, which allows Bruce and Rick Jones to track him down, Rick subsequently using the Puppet Master's equipment to erase all memory of the Hulk's true identity prior to its destruction.
