==Fictional character biography== |

Private '''Benjamin''' "'''Benny'''" '''Tibbets''' was a Private First Class in the United States Army and a soldier with unresolved mother issues. He, along with a platoon of soldiers, were exposed to a gamma bomb by ], who wished to test its effects on humans. Tibbets was the sole survivor.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 3 #17. Marvel Comics.</ref> He was transformed into a Hulk-like creature with superhuman strength. The only differences were that Tibbets, nicknamed Flux, looked more misshapen, his forehead and joints significantly more pronounced, and his transformation was more erratic, parts of him sometimes transforming while the rest of him remained human. Convinced by Ryker that ] was responsible for his condition, and had sold gamma technology to the ], Flux was sent after the Hulk, but the fight proved one-sided and Banner was able to talk him down. Tibbets underwent psychiatric evaluation thanks to ], but he was subsequently recaptured and broken by Ryker. Regressed to a childlike mentality and vocabulary, apparently perceiving Ryker as his 'mommy', Flux was once again pitted against the Hulk, but the fight ended when ] forced Ryker to stand down. Without Ryker's commands, Flux stopped fighting and broke down, reverting to Benny as he wept for his mother.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 3 #18-19. Marvel Comics.</ref> |

Recently, Flux was revealed to be in ] custody, who experimented on him. However, he was killed by Grey of the ] during a raid on the A.I.M. base.<ref>''Gamma Corps'' #1-5. Marvel Comics.</ref> |

Like the Hulk, Flux's abilities stemmed from gamma irradiation. They included superhuman strength, stamina and durability, and a regenerative healing factor. Unlike the Hulk, he was unable to become stronger as he became angrier. It is unknown whether he had the ability to jump vast distances like the Hulk. |

* The Benjamin Tibbets version of Flux appears in the '']'' video game adaption, voiced by ]. Flux appears as one of the Hulk's opponents, challenging the Hulk when he attempts to destroy a force field generator keeping him confined in a military base. He seems to share the backstory of the comic book version, but no reference is made to the specific details of his origin, although it's implied to be the same. After he is defeated, he is thrown into the force field generator and is severely injured. At the end of the game, he is seen in a base where he is being treated from the injuries he sustained under General Ryker's care. |
