Quite a bit from the comics.

Bruce Banner to David Banner, pursued by a reporter not US army, none of supporting characters, made the Hulk weaker than his comic counterpart.

No.

I'm not overly familiar with the comic books but I am aware of the changes and can see why they made them.

It was important to concentrate on David as a sympathetic character and put him in generally domestic settings, suitable for a reporter to tag along too. This gave David and the Hulk broad appeal with all ages and genders.

A whole army division would have been too expensive and incongruous. The absence of a military force kind of increases the jeopardy for the public while avoiding having the exact same stand-off every episode.

The whole idea of nobody doing anything about The Hulk but a reporter is a very 70's/80's trend. Like the George Reeves Superman it was rooted in a cops and robbers formula where the only sci fi element is the central characters who only battle ordinary crooks and like many shows at the time they set up a premise that never changes.
