After watching the Avengers, and getting back into Marvel Comics, I've wanted to make a Hunter: the Vigil character that, as close as possible, resembles the duality of "Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk".

Anyone have any advice?

It depends on which specific WoD creatures are allowed. Werewolves and vampires both have rage issues, though you should keep in mind that the kinds of things your character is likely to do when enraged have a very high chance of leading to morality loss and eventually your character becoming an NPC. – Oblivious Sage Feb 21 at 15:40

Depending on the power level of the Hulk in question, he'd almost be better modeled as a Scion, in fact. – Nigralbus Feb 21 at 16:33

@Nigralbus I believe that the question limits the scope to World of Darkness games; Scion, like Exalted and the Aeonverse, are separate games that share similar rules systems. – Jadasc Feb 21 at 17:29
You could try out Marvel Heroic and save yourself a lot of effort. – okeefe Feb 21 at 17:37
@Jadasc It is definitely just for World of Darkness, I'm in a World of Darkness game and I want to play it. However, I'm running a Scion game and I can't believe I didn't think to have my player fight some Hulks. upvotes for you both. – pandorym Feb 21 at 17:40

If you're looking to play someone who, under periods of stress or high emotion, turns into a super-strong creature driven by rage, a werewolf is an ideal choice. If you're looking for someone who can become nine feet tall, hugely muscled, and toss people a long way, you might also consider a changeling (a troll or an ogre, perhaps.)

Thank you very much; i don't own any of the changeling books, so apparently this now needs to change. – pandorym Feb 22 at 1:42

In the World of Darkness there can be almost anything you can imagine. You don't have to be restricted to which species WW published, especially if your character is unique.

I don't know much about Hulk, but he could be the result of a Technocracy or Pentex experiment, or maybe something similar to a fomori.

You're not taking into account the fact that most WoD DMs prefer to run groups that are all the same supernatural type. – Oblivious Sage Feb 21 at 16:47
Well, I do what I can with the information we have. Of course, the Storyteller must agree if the plan is doing a PC (instead of a NPC). Otherwise, the first thing should talking to the ST, knowing which kind of chronicle he is planning, and then if a similar character would work on that chronicle. – Flamma Feb 21 at 17:14
the Storyteller has mentioned that he would be okay with it, as long as I found something in the books to base my concept on. I definitely want it to be as close to from book as possible. – pandorym Feb 21 at 17:42

I usually use the bygone bestiary from Mage: The sorceress crusade to do this kind of one-shot creatures.

You can feat shape shifting, incredible strength, endurance, invulnerabilities… although doing something like Hulk is going to be costly in points.
