In Our Previous Episode,
Bruce Banner's
Desperate Attempt
To Cure Himself
Led To Another
Tragic Transformation
Into The Incredible Hulk
[Groaning]
[Growls]
Who Rampaged
The Gamma Base.
[Snarling]
When The Raging Green Beast
Was Calmed
By Banner's Beloved
Betty Ross--
Betty?
Banner Emerged
And Was Promptly Arrested.
Granted Use Of
The Military's Laboratory,
Banner's Second Experiment
Also Failed

Unleashed His Abomination,
Putting The Hulk
Right Where General Ross
Has Always Wanted Him--
In The Cross Hairs.

[Chuckles]
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.
Brian, No.
Betty?
That's A Big Step
In The Wrong Direction, Pal.
[Sighs]
Back Off, Major.
Oh.
Huh?
[Thunders]
[Yelling]
[Growls]
Hulk Destroy.
Talbot?
Okay, Boys, It's Hammer Time.
[Growling]
Betty:
Hulk! Run, Hulk!
Go!
Hit It!
Hulk!
Don't Worry About Me.
Just Go!
Please.
Betty, Why Do You Always Help
Him?
You Know That's Not
Banner Anymore.
It's A Monster,
A Beast That Would
Just As Soon Destroy You
As Look At You.
No, He Won't
Because I've Never
Attacked Him.
[Growls]
Hulk Hate Toys.
Eat Green.
[Screams]
We've Gonna Need It.
We Have Lost Contact
With Target.
All Units Spread Out.
[Grumbles]
[Snake Rattles]
[Growls]
Helicopter Pilot:
Target Re-Acquired.
Open Fire.
[Screams]
What Kind Of Nightmare?
Hulk Saved?
Too Many Of These Things.
All Units Return To Base
While We Still Can.
[Animals Grumbling]
Help Hulk?
Stupid Bug.
Sir, The Battle Choppers
Have Broken Off Pursuit
Of The Hulk,
No Casualties.
What? They Had Direct Orders.
There Was Additional
Resistance, Sir.
Some Strange Creature--
Blasted, Man--
Ow.
You Mean To Say 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, Major.
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.
I Tell You This, Major Talbot--
I Will Have My Payback,
And I'll Have It
Even If It Means Cutting
My Star
Out Of The Hulk's
Ugly Green Hide.
Ah, Interesting.
The Hulk Still Lives,
Saved By Some Unknown Ally.
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've Thought
Such Lowly Beings
Could Be So
Delightfully Aggressive
And Organized?
Abomination.
[Growling]
Go Track Down Those Freaks.
Logic Dictates
That When You Have Found Them,
You Will Have Found The Hulk,
And This Time
No Tinker Toy Omega Laser
Shall Impede My Desires
To Snatch The Hulk's Mutant
Power For Myself.
So Says The Leader.
[Scoffs]
"So Says The Leader."
[Growls]
Betty: Oh, Come On.
Come On.
[Engine Sputtering]
[Sighs]
Typical,
Just Typical.
Smooth One, Elizabeth,
Swiping A Rig
With Only Half A Tank.
[Gasps]
Hey, Pretty Lady,
Need A Lift?
Rick? Rick!
[Laughs]
Oh, Where'd You Come From,
You Desert Rat?
I Saw You From That Ridge.
I've Been Cranking
The Throttle Full Out
Since The Second
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, Huh?
It Was Major Chaos After That.
Everybody Was Shooting Up
Everything Everywhere.
And Your Dad?
Front And Center,
With A Green Gleam In His Eye.
[Sighs]
All Bruce Has Ever Wanted
Is To Be Cured.
Now Half Of Gama Base
Is Trashed,
They're Hunting Hulk--
[Screams]
Whoa! Hey, Hang On, Beth.
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 The Most Advanced
Resources Of This Base,
Even Our Latest Model
Of The Experimental
Omega Laser,
Were Insufficient
To Contain Him.
Only An Elite Unit
Of Highly Trained,
Heavily Armored
Battle Personnel
And Mechanoids,
With Strategies To Stay
One Step Ahead Of Banner,
Will Have Any Chance
Of Defeating
And Containing This.
[Roars]
[Officers Murmuring]
Well, Gentlemen,
Your Decision?
General Ross,
You've Got Your Hulk Busters.
[Twitters]
Easy There, Scorps.
These Fine Folks Aren't
Gamma Mutants Like You,
Not Quite As Tough As You Are.
Bruce, You're All Right!
Ow. Ooh, Ow.
Easy. Man Of Steel, I Am Not.
I'm Still A Little Sore.
I Take It Your Father
Finally Got To Test
His Omega Laser On The Hulk.
Oh, Yeah--
[Chuckles]
Until It Got Too Hot To Handle.
No Hugs?
Then How About A Shake,
Old Man?
[Chuckles]
Anytime,
Rebel Without A Cause.
Oh, I Got A Cause All Right,
Buddy-- You.
Say, When 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.
From 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've Reached Out To Me
Because I'm One Of Them.
Bruce?
That's Funny.
After All These Years
And All The Pain,
I Find Comfort And Acceptance
Only With These
Abnormal Creatures.
[Roaring]
[Betty, Gasping]
It's That Thing Again.
[Grunting]
[Rick, Straining]
Okay, Up We Go.
Can't Breathe Here.
[Sighs]
Thanks.
I Know You Meant Well,
But, Man,
You're One Heavy Mutant.
Hey, Bette, You Okay?
[Pants]
Just Got A Little Wrapped Up.
It Took Bruce!
We Have To Find Him!
Let's Start With Finding Us
A Little Blue Sky First.
[Tapping On Glass]
[Groans]
Psst. Psst.
Wake Up.
[Gasps]
[Grunting]
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, When The Leader
Is Finished With You,
I Demand That You--
Leader:
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, Hm?
After All,
This Energy Siphon
Is Especially 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 Fathead.
You Promised Me Banner
Would Remain Alive
Long Enough To Change Me--
I Lied.
Now, As I Was Saying, Doctor,
Rage On.
Actually, I'm Feeling Pretty
Relaxed And Mellow Right Now.
You Clowns Put On A Good Show.
You Insolent Little Worm!
Say, Nice Place.
Do It Yourself?
How Droll And
Characteristically
Un-Amusing.
Gargoyle, Let's Provoke
Some Anger
In Our Smug Doctor.
Raise A Little Hulk,
Shall We?
Certainly.
[Chuckles, Muttering]
Trigger-Happy Dictator.
[Zapping]
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.
[Banner Groaning]
[Evil Chuckling]
Yeah. Scorps, You're Up.
Any Sign Of The Big Green?
No. Look!
[Sniffing]
All Right,
We're On Your Track.
Time For Some Desert Whomping.
[Banner Grunting]
[Zapping Stops]
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk,
Still Having Difficulty
Reaching Your Boiling Point?
Again!
You Reached My Boiling Point,
You Judas.
[Zapping]
Hang On, Doc!
Here Comes The Cavalry.
Battle Drones, Attack!
[Grunting]
Leader:
That's Right, Banner.
Lose Control.
Let's See That Temper Flare
Bright Green.
Oh, The Backup Banks.
It Would Be Such A Tragedy
For Them To Get Damaged.
[Laughing]
Yeah, A Snip In Time,
'Ey, Scorps?
Oh, I Think Not.
[Roars]
[Growling]
Yes,
The Gamma Siphon
Now Commences.
[Grunting]
Oh, Yes!
[Growls]
It's Incredible.
More Power Than I Dared Dream.
Hulk, Don't Give Up.
[Roars]
[Yelps]
[Hulk Roars]
[Screams]
[Screams]
Hulk Back!
Hulk Back!
[Panting]
Oh, You've Spat
Your Last Command, Leader.
Your Precious Knowledge
Is Now Mine,
So Says The Gargoyle.
[Laughing]
I Was So Close.
No! No!
Noooooo!
Whoa, Hulk On.
Thank You.
Not Much To Look At,
But They're, Uh
Friend.
Hulk? Stay?
We Can Make It All Work Out.
Hulk Sad.
Hulk Go.
No, Wait.
Be Careful.
Hulk
Hulk Sigh.
Hulk-- Bruce,
We'll Find That Cure For You.
I Promise.
Hang Tough, Green Man
Because I'll Be Riding
Right Behind You.
Huh?
Your Day Of Reckoning
Will Come, Hulk
A Day Of Destiny.
