At a missile base in our great southwest, the countdown is halted while General Ross waits for Dr. Bruce Banner.

Where in thundoration is Banner? We can't start without him. He's the brains behind this space probe.

If he wasn't a civilian, I'd have his hide. I'd slap him behind bars. I'd hide.

Oh, Dad, what if something's happened to Bruce? The Hulk's been seen in this area.

At that moment, not far away, crouching behind a boulder, the Hulk has his own problems.

Must get to the underground lab. That regiment on maneuvers will see me. If they follow me, they'll discover a secret fighting place.

If I don't change to Banner soon, it'll be too late. The longer I stay the Hulk, the harder it is to change back.

Must take a chance. Have to dodge their radar?

No. Can't do it. Too many jets. They're coming this way. They gotta stay back. Mustn't make me hurt them. They don't know the Hulk's power.

It's the emergency alert. Condition red. Back to the base on the double.

Now's my chance. And so the Hulk enters his secret cave, and soon stands before the awesome grey machine, which changes him from a monster to a man.

Each time I change it seems more painful, but this time I'm stronger, more powerful. However, his new physique is only temporary, and he soon reverts back to a weary Bruce Banner.

I should have known it couldn't last. I'd better see what's happening at the base. Something's wrong. Betty and General Ross look terrified.

My space probe rocket. It's melting, but that's impossible. And at the base itself? Who's that?

I am the Metal Master, from the planet Astra many galaxies away. It was I who melted your rocket with the power of my brain to show you how invincible I am.

I possess mastery over all forms of metal, and since all metals are made up of atoms, I control each and every atom by mental command, throwing them in and out of orbit at will, thus causing them to fly apart or adhere together, like so.

On the planet Astra, our sculptors create magnificent statues by mental commands alone. And as for me, they dare to sentence me to exile for trying to seize supreme power.

And now, after roaming the galaxies, I have decided the Earth and its people shall be my prize. Grab him. He's as nutty as a flute. Wait. I give you one more demonstration.

Hey, my helmet. It's floating.

Mine's melting.

And now, unbelievers, watch me destroy that tank. He didn't even touch it. It's that energy ray coming from his hand.

The metal bands are encircling us, trapping us inside.

You will surrender this base to me immediately, and the planet Earth must accept me as supreme ruler within 24 hours.

I begin to tire of these childish beats. I shall leave you while you discuss my terms and realize how helpless you are.

Helpless, are we? I'll alert my missile squadron. Look. He turned that piece of metal into a flying carpet.

There he is. Fire. Those hunter rockets will bring him down. Disintegrate. That one goes back to the base. Take cover.

Gotta find a hulk.

Rick Jones races to the secret lair.

Stand back, Rick.

Some guy told the metal master is flooding the base, the whole world.

I know. That's why I'm changing.

But what happened to your face?

No. No, it can't be.

Hulk's body. Bruce Banner's face. You can't go out like that. It would reveal your identity.

I just remembered. I've got model masks of the Hulk's head. I'll wear one of them right now and let that weakling banner figure out what happened.

Me? I got something more important to do.

You're the one who turned the tank to junk, just like what I'm gonna do to you.

An idle threat. This junk, as you call it, is mine to command. For example.

Can even the Incredible Hulk withstand the tons of deadly steel being hurled at him?

The colossal contest continues unabated.

You are more powerful than I thought.

Nothing. Nobody can stop the Hulk.

A quickly formed metal cage will hold you.

The mighty metal objects keep reforming as fast as the Hulk can shatter them.

Wait! This is folly. With my mastery of metal and your brute strength, we should be allies.

The Hulk needs no allies.

But we too could rule the universe.

You mean no one would hunt me again? No one would hound the Hulk?

No longer would you be treated like a wild beast, like a monster.

Sure. Why should I worry about that human race?

Catching the Hulk off guard, the Metal Master strikes a cowardly blow.

The brute believe me, thus I have vanquished him.

Hey, you guys! It's the Hulk, and I'm cold. He's wearing a mask. Let's see what's underneath.

Now we'll know who he really is.

This is crazy. His real face is just the same.

Sir, they've caught the Hulk. At last.

With him out of the way, we can concentrate on the Metal Master.

In a few more seconds, he'll be inside this Hulk-proof building.

That's it. The Hulk is a prisoner. No, forever.

No, only the Hulk can stop the Metal Master. You can't imprison him.

I'm in command here. He stays where he is.

Hey, it's me, Rick. Are you okay?

You. You betrayed me. You told him about the mask.

But my real face came back just in time.

No, Hulk. No, I didn't tell. I didn't.

You're lying. I'll get out of here.

And what I do, I'll have my revenge on everybody.

Only the wall begins to crumble under the merciless pounding of the superhuman fists.

General Voss, how do I enlist?

Sixteen is too young, son. Forget it.

But I want action.

Look, if you really want to serve your country, stay in school.

America needs trained, educated men.

Okay, General. I get the message.

Behold! I am the Metal Master.

So much for your oil wells. Nothing can defy my matchless power.

I have wrecked shipping, melted buildings, and destroyed bridges.

Soon, every human on Earth will tremble at the name, the Metal Master.

A thoroughly disheartened teenager, rude.

With the whole world in trouble, he hands me education.

Once a guy's been the Hulk's partner, he's different. That's all.

Meanwhile, the Incredible Hulk continues to pound and pound and pound until...

I'm free. Must return to the lab. Only one way to beat the Metal Master must become Banner again.

Strange that we still haven't located Banner.

Oh, Dad. Bruce means so much to me. Please find him.

General! General, the Hulk! He's escaped!

No! It can't be. It just can't.

What if the Hulk somehow captured Bruce?

First Banner is missing, then that blasted Metal Master shows up, and now the Hulk's on the loose again.

Ah, it's too much. We have to find Banner. He's got to come up with an answer.

Back in the lab, the Hulk once more bathes in the mysterious gamma rays until he becomes the world's greatest atomic scientist again.

Oh, I'm so weak, so dizzy. Can't black out now. Earth in danger. Must beat Metal Master.

Rick, help! Doc! Oh, you're in bad shape. What happened?

My gamma ray. I'm using it too often. Dangerous. I can't take it.

Well, Rick, always here when I need you. Come on, Doc. You should be in a hospital.

No time. I can beat the Metal Master, but I need help.

Doc, wait a sec. My teen brigade. That's the answer.

That club you belong to.

Rick explains how the teen brigade can help the desperate scientist.

Fine, fine. Now, here's a list of the equipment Dr. Banner needs. It's all up to us.

Then what are we waiting for?

Let's go. We've got a job to do.

We'll pulverize the Metal Master.

Wonderful kids. I wish I were as confident as they.

Can the teen brigade and one lone scientist stop the Metal Master?

The Metal Master is still spreading ruin while Earth men meet and plan and try to cope.

The people are on the verge of panic.

Meanwhile, supplies pour into the teen brigade headquarters scheduled for Dr. Banner, who alone has the know-how to stop the Metal Master.

Once more, he stands before his gamma ray machine.

Ah, I'm strong again. I'm the whole powerful hound.

The Earth and its people seem doomed to destruction or slavery while the Metal Master zooms his way across the world, mocking defenses everywhere.

No nation, no continent escapes his sting.

I command you to spread and doom.

And here comes a manned aircraft. Melt!

I can afford to be lenient. I'll need those men later to serve me.

And inside a locked warehouse?

Gotta remember what to do.

It's lucky that you still retain some of Banner's scientific know-how.

Stow it. I gotta figure this out fast. There. It's finished. Now open the door.

You bet, Hulk.

Look! It's the Hulk. He's carrying some sort of metal gun. Big deal. The Metal Master will melt that right in his arms.

It's time I return to the Hulk.

It's him, the Metal Master.

Seconds later, the teen brigade radios a warning alert.

Hulk, the Metal Master's over the capital.

At last. Everyone, stand back.

The teen brigadiers quickly converge on the target area.

You, come down and face the Hulk.

It will be my pleasure. Metal molecules, I command you to explode in his head.

See? Nothing happened. Nothing's gonna happen.

This is impossible. There is no type of metal I cannot control. Closer. Come down closer.

And still nothing happens. Why, the energy I emanate is enough to level an entire city. It must explode.

Ha ha! You can't beat the Hulk. Nobody can.

Explode! Explode! You must explode!

The Metal Master and the Hulk are in a shootout at the capital.

Prepare my jet for flight. I've got to take charge. Can't afford any bungling.

Be careful, Dad.

And a short while later, the assembled missile strike force takes the field.

While the Hulk still stands alone.

You tremble. Ha ha ha! Now it's my turn to...

Why, you... Don't hit me. Don't!

I knew it. You're yellow. Make everything like it was before, or I'll...

Yes, yes, I will. Just don't hit me.

And no tricks.

In a dazzling display of mental prowess, all damage is rectified.

Then, the Hulk releases the beaten alien and watches him, free to the stars, forever.

Hey, Hulk, what kind of metal was that?

Who said it was metal? It was nothing but plastic. It was a bluff, and it paid off.

A phony? Wow!

Ha ha ha ha!

Hulk won't forget. You helped.

Hold it. The army's moving in.

With grim determination, General Ross approaches the Hulk. But then...

You mustn't fight him. Head for your cave. You've done your job.

Many miles and many hours later, in front of the gamma ray machine...

Now to become Banner again.

What happened? I didn't change. Everything's set. What did I do wrong?

The gamma rays. They're actually different. I'm using the machine too much.

I'll be the Hulk forever.

No! Stop!

No one tells the Hulk. I do what I want. I'll... I'll...

The ray did work. I'm normal again. He's just a delayed reaction.

Listen, Doc. Betty's been terribly worried.

Poor kid. I'll go see her right away.

They pardoned the Hulk, but he's as dangerous as ever.

Hello, Jim.

Where in thunder have you been, Banner?

Thank heavens you're all right.

I'm sorry I worried you so, dear.

What does she see in that spineless most awful? I'd almost prefer the Hulk.

Doc, to Banner. Dump it by gamma rays. Turns into the Hulk.

Ain't he unglamorous? Bracken the town with the power of a fool.

Ain't no monster clown who is as lovable as ever. Love and Hulk. Hulk. Hulk.
