Before the release of the 2006 video game Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Activision held a contest on who would voice minor characters in the game, namely Bruce Banner and Jean Grey. One of the contest winners was Arin Hanson (aka Egoraptor), known for his popular Awesome series on Newgrounds. While Arin was chosen to voice Bruce Banner in the game, Robin Atkin Downes ended up voicing him in the final cut.

Since Marvel Ultimate Alliance was released across multiple platforms, the voice of Bruce Banner has been a topic of debate. According to Arin's website and his voice acting profile, he did end up voicing the character on the Wii, Playstaion 3, and PSP versions. However, Robin is cast as Bruce in these versions as well. The most logical and likely reason that Arin was scrapped was that he lived in Florida, meaning that Activision would have to fly him to LA to record the lines, making it possibly cheaper to just have a professional VA like Robin voice Bruce instead. As for why Arin says he supposedly voiced Bruce on those particular ports, he may have been misinformed and never played the ports in question to confirm that he was in them. Regardless, Arin's voice clips have never surfaced anywhere and, although he may still have his original audition clips, it's unknown if they even exist anymore.
