Abilities: Quick-witted and resourceful, Jim developed some fighting skills while partnered with the Hulk. During his association with the US Army, he also became familiar with assorted military equipment, installations, and procedures. In addition, Jim trained in unarmed combat with the Young Watchers. Jim learned chess from Betty Ross. Being an experienced traveler and frequent hitchhiker, he had extensive knowledge of many American towns and highways. Jim was a charismatic, funny, loyal, and courageous young man who made friends easily. He was also a capable manager and a dedicated social activist.
Jim Wilson enlists Rick Jones to play a benefit concert at a hospice for AIDS patients. On the drive from the airport, Wilson reveals to Jones that he is HIV-positive, and that his girlfriend left him. Wilson is injured while protecting Jefferson Wolfe from the assassin Speedfreek at the charity concert. The Hulk rushes Wilson to a hospital. Jones and the Hulk later secure evidence to send the mob boss who employed Speedfreek to prison.

Wilson is again seen in when he is attacked by a mob protesting the fact that a court has ordered an HIV-infected boy to be allowed into a public school. The Hulk is able to rescue Wilson from the mob, and takes him to the hi-tech medical facilities at the Mount, the secret headquarters of the Pantheon,the superhero group which the Hulk is a member of. He learns that Wilson actually has AIDS, and has had it for some time. In addition to the broken ribs he sustained in the mob attack, he is suffering from pneumocystis carinii pneumonia,and does not have long to live. Remembering the blood transfusion that the Hulk gave his cousin, Jennifer Walters (which turned her into the She-Hulk), Wilson asks Bruce Banner to give him a transfusion of his blood, hoping that the Hulk's blood would act as a cure to the virus. Banner initially refuses to take the risk of creating another monster, but eventually pretends to be giving Wilson a blood transfusion. Wilson reveals in private to Dr. Harr, the attending physician caring for him, that he was not fooled by Bruce's ruse, but played along anyway. Shortly afterward, Jim Wilson succumbs to the disease and dies.

After Wilson's death, Bruce donates a large sum of money to the hospice that Wilson worked at in order to allow them to comfortably exist for the next few decades.

Jim Wilson's father, Gideon Wilson, inexplicably blames the Hulk for Jim's death and joins Gamma Corps to seek revenge, although in the end he admitted to himself and the Hulk that he only blamed the Hulk for his son's death in order to avoid facing his own guilt for his failures as a father.

Jim Wilson was the first Marvel character Contract HIV and he was also the nephew of Falcon aka Wilson
