Does the Hulk gain mass through "Pym Particles"?

After coming across these Ant-Man questions,

I tried to remember if it was ever explained how Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, gains and sheds mass.

In the 1960s Hank Pym

discovered and isolated a rare group of subatomic, extra dimensional particles, which became known as "Pym Particles", that could increase or decrease the size and mass of objects or living beings by shunting or adding it from a subatomic dimension.

and

Pym Particles have the capability to alter the scale, mass, strength and density of organic and inorganic subjects

Even though Pym Particles haven't been mentioned before Ant-Man, could they still be a possible explanation for how the Hulk gains/shed mass?

My Questions:

Is there a MCU explanation for where the additional mass comes from when Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk?
If not, is there anything in the previous movies that would contradict the theory that Pym Particles are somehow involved?

Best Answer

It's not pym particles - it's how his body reacts to gamma radiation - I don't know if the woefully underappreciated HULK movie by Ang Lee is still in the movie universe - but there are some implications that Banner's dad did some untoward things...Pym particles were not shared with anyone - it's made quite clear in Ant Man that Hank kept them to himself (and his family) until Scott Lang, because they were too dangerous (hence why he punched the dude in the beginning of the movie)

Also, in the actual comics, Pym Particles have nothing to do with the hulk - though he sometimes has control over the change - the hulk is triggered by emotion - and the angrier he gets the bigger/stronger he gets

Did Hank Pym create Pym particles?

The particles were created in the 1960s by Hank Pym, who used a custom suit to harness the Particles and, alongside his wife Janet van Dyne, become a field agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. during the Cold War.

How many Pym particles did cap take?

In Avengers: Endgame, Captain America takes four pym particles. Two for him to return to the present with Stark and two for him to go live out his life with Peggy in the past, eventually returning to the present.

Does Ant-Man need Pym particles shrink?

From what I can tell from the Ant-Man movie, one needed a suit for shrinking to work. You can't just inject Pym Particles into your blood stream and enjoy all Ant-Man powers without the suit. While shrunken, if you lose your helmet, the results can be disastrous (according to the movie).
