Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the sixth-most-populous city in the United States. It is the county seat of Philadelphia County, with which it is coterminous.
In 1978, David Banner (using the alias of David Benson) hitchhiked to Philadelphia where he was mugged. He was saved by an up-and-coming boxer named Henry "Rocky" Welsh. David remained behind for a few days and helped Henry out, ultimately turning into a Hulk in the middle of a boxing match. [1]

- Worthington Industries
- Worthington Industries, formerly known as Worthington Enterprises, is a fictional corporation featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is part of the mainstream Marvel Universe and is associated with the X-Men family of comic titles. The President and CEO of Worthington Enterprises is Warren Worthington, III. Worthington Enterprises was founded by the Worthington family some 150 years ago. In the modern era, it was headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and administered by the last male heir of the family, Warren Worthington, III. The general public was largely unaware that Worthington was also the mutant superhero known as Angel. Warren secretly used his company's assets to finance some of his extracurricular activities such as funding the X-Men and later, the experimental mutant hunting team X-Factor. During his tenure with X-Factor, Warren appointed his girlfriend Candy Southern as vice president of the company. Worthington Industries' stock took a dramatic hit during a scandal in which reporter Trish Tilby exposed Warren's financial support of X-Factor.
