In our previous episode,

Bruce Banner's desperate attempt to cure himself

led to another tragic transformation into the Incredible Hulk....

..who rampaged through Gamma Base.

When the raging green beast was calmed by Banner's beloved Betty Ross...

Betty?

..Banner emerged and was arrested.

Granted use of a laboratory, Banner's second experiment also failed

when the evil Leader unleashed his Abomination,

putting the Hulk where General Ross had always wanted him,

in the cross-hairs.

I don't know where that other big green mistake went

but you're not going anywhere.

Hulk, don't do this.

Calm down. Let the anger go. It's not worth it.

- Betty? - Bruce.

Are you out of your mind? Stay away from them!

- Glenn, no! - Betty... friend.

That's a big step in the wrong direction, pal.

Back off, Major!

Hulk destroy!

- Talbot! - OK, boys, it's hammer time.

Hulk! Run, Hulk!

- Go! - Hit it!

Mean green Hulk!

Don't worry about me. Just go!

Please!

Betty, why do you always help him? You know that's not Banner any more.

It's a monster that would just as soon destroy you as look at you.

No, he wouldn't. Because I've never attacked him.

Hulk hate toys.

Mean green Hulk!

Direct hit.

We have lost visual contact with target. All units spread out.

Target reacquired. Open fire!

What kind of nightmare...!

Hulk... friend?

Too many of these things.

All units return to base while we still can!

Help Hulk?

Stupid bug.

Sir, the choppers have broken off pursuit.

What? They had direct orders!

There was additional resistance. Strange creatures...

Blast it, man! You mean the Hulk's still out there somewhere alive?

Yes! Way to go, Bruce.

- Betty! I'm sorry, sir. - Not half as sorry as I am.

Experiment? Bull! Banner has had his last chance from me.

The Hulk is the number-one threat to national security.

He crushed my base and he once cost me a star.

And I tell you this, Major Talbot, I will have my payback.

And I'll have it even it means cutting my star

out of the Hulk's ugly green hide.

Interesting. The Hulk still lives,

saved by some unknown allies.

Gargoyle, replay the field surveillance.

Yes. Right before that hulking oaf swatted our spy-drone,

terminating your superb surveillance.

Stop. Yes, there. Creatures I've long suspected the existence of.

Obviously, gamma-mutated desert life forms,

doubtlessly created by the same blast that spawned the Hulk.

Who would have thought such lowly beings could be so...

delightfully aggressive and organised?

Abomination!

Go! Track down those freaks!

Logic dictates that when you have found them you will have found the Hulk,

and this time no Tinkertoy omega laser shall impede my desires

to snatch the Hulk's mutant power for myself.

So says the Leader.

"So says the Leader."

Come on, come on!

Typical. Just typical.

Smooth one, Elizabeth. Swiping a rig with only half a tank.

Hey, pretty lady. Need a lift?

Rick? Rick!

Where did you come from, you desert rat?

I saw you from that ridge.

I've been cranking the throttle since I got your call about Bruce.

Oh, man. It went lame, didn't it?

Some huge scaly freak sabotaged Bruce's experiment

and then Bruce got mad and...

Well, we all know what happens when Bruce gets mad.

- Hulked out? - It was major chaos after that.

Everybody was shooting up everything everywhere.

- And your dad? - Front and centre.

With a mean gleam in his eye.

All Bruce has ever wanted is to be cured.

Now Gamma Base is trashed and they're hunting...

Hang on, Bet!

That's the whole blame report.

Sirs, as you can see, the Hulk's power simply increases with his rage.

The madder he gets, the more dangerous he becomes.

All our most advanced resources,

even our latest model of the experimental omega laser,

were insufficient to contain him.

Only an elite unit of highly trained,

heavily armoured battle personnel and mechanoids

with strategies to stay one step ahead of Banner

will have any chance of defeating and containing this.

Well, gentlemen, your decision?

General Ross, you've got your Hulkbusters.

Easy there, Scorps. These fine folks aren't gamma mutants like you.

Not quite as tough as you are.

Bruce! You're alright!

Easy! Man of steel I am not.

I'm still a little sore.

I take it your father got to test his omega laser on the Hulk.

Yeah. Until it got too hot to handle.

No hugs? Then how about a shake, old man?

Any time, rebel without a cause.

I got a cause alright, buddy. You.

Where did you pick up the bug-eyed fan club? Trekker convention?

Actually, it seems I wasn't the only living thing out in the desert

when that gamma reactor blew.

In that blast these creatures became gamma mutants as well.

Bigger, incredibly powerful,

and just smart enough to know they no longer fit in anywhere,

except with one another.

They're outcasts.

And they reached out to me. Cos I'm one of them.

- Bruce? - That's funny.

After all these years, all the pain,

I find comfort and acceptance only with these abnormal creatures.

It's that thing again!

OK. Up we go. Can't breathe here.

Thanks. I know you meant well, but you're one heavy mutant.

Hey, Bet, you OK?

Just been a little wrapped up.

It took Bruce! We have to find him!

Let's start with finding us a little blue sky first.

Wake up!

Quickly. You know what I want.

Where is your research on gamma mutation?

As a compassionate scientist,

surely you can find it within yourself to help me return to normal, please.

Pay attention! Now the Leader has finished with you, I demand that...

Gargoyle! This is not the time to pursue your pathetic quest for normalcy.

A gargoyle you are and a gargoyle you shall remain

unless you do as commanded!

Yes, my Leader.

Insidious troll.

Well, now, my dear Dr Banner,

whenever the mood strikes you, feel free to transform into the Hulk.

After all, this energy siphon is specially designed

to deliver the Hulk's gamma-induced strength directly into me.

An even trade.

I become empowered, you become nothing but a lifeless husk.

Lifeless husk? That is not our bargain, you traitorous fat-head.

You promised me Banner would remain alive long enough to change me...

I lied.

Now, as I was saying, Doctor, rage on.

I'm feeling pretty relaxed right now. You clowns put on a good show.

You insolent little worm!

Say, nice place. Do it yourself?

How droll and characteristically unamusing.

Gargoyle, let's provoke some anger in our smug doctor.

Raise a little Hulk, shall we?

Cettainly.

You trigger-happy dictator.

No!

Painfully irritating, wouldn't you say?

Getting a bit green around the gills, yes?

No? Still holding your rage in check?

How noble! Gargoyle, again!

Yeah! Scorps, you're up.

- Any sign of the big green? - No. Look!

Alright. We're on your track.

Time for some desert whamp!

Still having difficulty reaching your boiling point? Again!

You've reached my boiling point, you Judas.

No!

Hang on, Doc! Here comes the cavalry!

Battle drones, attack!

That's right, Banner. Lose control.

Let's see that temper flare bright green.

The data banks! It would be such a tragedy for them to get damaged.

Yeah. A snip in time, eh, Scorps?

I think not.

Yes! The gamma siphon now commences!

Yes. Oh, yes!

It's incredible! More power than I dared dream!

Hulk! Don't give up.

No!

Hulk bash!

Mean... green...

You've spat your last command, Leader.

Your precious knowledge is now mine.

So says the Gargoyle.

Hulk! I was so close! No!

No! No!

Well, Hulk on!

Thank you.

They ain't much to look at but they're...

Friend.

Hulk?

Stay? \WWe can make it all work out.

Hulk sad.

Hulk go.

No, wait.

Be careful. Hulk.

Hulk sorry.

Hulk. Bruce.

We'll find that cure for you, I promise.

Hang tough, green man. Cos I'll be riding right behind you.

Your day of reckoning will come, Hulk.

The day of destiny.
