Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)
Bruce Banner experimented with gamma radiation in hopes of making soldiers immune to radiation poisoning, as per his agreement with Thaddeus Ross, and accidentally turned himself into the Hulk in the process.

The Tesseract is mentioned to emit traces of gamma radiation, leading to the recruitment of Bruce Banner to assist in finding it. When Tony Stark and Banner discuss their relative "handicaps", Stark cites that the Hulk saved Banner's life, because any other human would have died absorbing that much gamma radiation.

Gamma radiation is one of the components of the Centipede Serum, an item designated to give a person superhuman abilities: The rest of the components are the Extremis virus, a variation of the Super Soldier Serum and technology from the Chitauri for injection.
