Kathleen Sparr

Major Kathleen Sparr is a supporting antagonist (later anti-hero) of the 2008 Marvel film The Incredible Hulk. She is an officer of the Strategic Operations Command Center who assisted General Thunderbolt Ross in the pursuit of Bruce Banner following the latter's transformation into the Hulk.

She was portrayed by Christina Cabot.

Role
Sparr was among the army officers who were in charge of the Bio-Tech Force Enhancement Project, which backfired horribly that resulted Bruce Banner into becoming the Hulk. Intending to use the Hulk as a weapon, General Ross intends to track Banner down, and Sparr aids him in doing so, forcing Banner to hide away in Brazil. Eventually, Sparr was able to learn that Banner's blood contaminated a soda that was drank by an elderly man in Milwaukee. She then head over to the Pentagon to inform Ross, who sends in his troops (led by Emil Blonsky) to Brazil to capture Banner, though the latter escapes once again.

Sparr later accompanied Ross and their unit to Culver University, where she commandeered a battle truck to fight against the Hulk, though the Hulk escapes after saving Ross' daughter Betty from an explosion caused by a helicopter crash. Sparr would later use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s computer systems to finally track down Banner's current location in New York City, where he's communicating with a scientist named Samuel Sterns at Grayburn College about providing an antidote to his mutation.

Though Sparr and the unit were able to capture Banner, they soon realize too late that his mutation is seemingly cured, much to Ross' anger. As Banner is taken into custody along with Betty, Sparr interrogates Sterns of his actions. Stern confessed that he was trying to help Banner find a cure for his mutation (since the project incident was an accident) and that he already synthesized Banner's blood for his research. Though Sparr was about to accept Stern's statement, Blonsky kills Sparr by stabbing her in the back, much to Stern's shock.
