Rrrr.
Rrrr!
Gamma Base Lab.
Betty Ross Speaking.
Bruce?!
Oh, Are You Ok?
I'm Fine.
Somehow I Ended Up
In South Dakota,
The Black Hills.
Betty, I Just Needed
To Hear Your Voice.
Oh, Bruce. Oh, Stay Strong.
Doc Samson And I
Are So Close
To A Cure For You.
The Nutrient Bath
Is Almost Ready.
Just Don't Give Up.
Hang On And Remember
That I Love You.
I Love You, Too,
Betty. Huh?
Uh, I-I'm Sorry,
I Gotta Get Moving.
I'll Call You
When I Can.
[Click, Dial Tone]
Who Else
Is On This Line?
We Got Him, Thunderbolt--
Black Hills, South Dakota.
Hulkbusters, Move In.
Father, How Low
Will You Sink?
You Let Shield
Tap My Phone Line.
My Own Father.
I'm Sorry, Betty,
But What Am I
Supposed To Do?
You Left Me
No Choice.
Invading My Privacy
Should Not Be A Choice.
Banner's Whereabouts
Are Of Vital Interest
To Our Country.
Now, How Do You Think
It Makes Me Look?
My Own Daughter
Sandbagging Me
By Keeping That Kind
Of Information Secret.
Oh, Betty,
I Have To Stop Him.
The Hulk Ruins Lives
Everywhere.
He Ruined Ours,
And We'll Never
Be The Same
Because Of Him.
Betty Ross?
Under The Aegis
Of A Declared
Federal Emergency,
You Are Hereby Ordered
To Accompany Me
To Detroit.
Aah!

Grr!
Incredible Hulk ♪

Incredible Hulk ♪
[Gasps]
Aah!
Rrrr!

What Happened Here?
Why Is Downtown Detroit
Being Evacuated?
I'm Sorry, Ma'am,
But All Your Questions
Will Be Answered
By Dr. Blake.
Nurse--Ha Ha--
Sign My Forehead.
Get Off Stage Quickly.
Miss Ross,
I'm Dr. Donald Blake.
Thank You For Coming.
Being Drafted
Isn't Exactly My Idea
Of An Invitation.
I Apologize For Your
Cloak And Dagger Summons,
But The Situation Here
Is Critical.
The City's In Quarantine.
What For? It Looks To Me
Like Gamma Radiation
Poisoning,
Which Isn't Contagious.
It's Not Radiation.
It's A Gamma Virus,
And It's Spreading Fast.
A Gamma Virus?
What Are The Symptoms?
Green Skin Rashes,
Hallucinations,
Decreased Respiration,
And Then Coma.
And Most Puzzling,
A Residue
Of Sodium Chloride
On The Patient's Skin.
Salt.
DoctorI, Uh
This Is A Little Bit
Out Of My League Here.
I'm Sorry, But I--
Miss Ross, You're
One Of The Few Experts--
You Need The Expert--
Dr. Bruce Banner.
Banner? I Thought
He'd Perished In That
Gamma Reactor Explosion.
No. He's Just Been
Out Of Circulation.
Right Now, He's Somewhere
In The Black Hills
Of South Dakota.
I Only Hope We Can
Locate Him In Time.
If You Can't, Then
Then Find The Hulk.
The Hulk? Miss Ross--
Trust Me, Doctor.
You Bring The Hulk Here,
And Bruce Banner
Won't Be Far Behind.
That's Quite An Order,
But I Believe
I Know Someone
Who Can Help.
I Take My Staff
And Strike Through
Mortal Bounds
Calling For
Thor, God Of Thunder.
Mighty Uru Hammer,
Open A Portal
Through The Very
Fabric Of Space!
General Ross:
Stun Lasers Only.
Keep It In Tickle Mode,
Boys.
Rrrr.
Rrrr!
Rrrr!
Back Off, Men.
You Can't Fire On
A National Monument,
For The Love O'patton.
Rrrr!
General Ross: You're Up.
Throw The Gamma-Reinforced
Rage Cage.
Rrrr.
It's Holding. I Finally
Got That Miserable Beast.
Only The Gods Themselves
Could Release Him
From That Contraption.
By Thunder.
Rrrr!
Rrrr!
Ah.
Fear Not, Friend.
I Mean Thee No Harm.
'Tis Bruce Banner I Seek.
Hulk Hate Puny Banner.
Rrrr!
Hulk No Like Long-Hair.
Rrrr!
Unh. Oof.
Perhaps In Days
Yet To Come--Unh--
We Shall
Pit Our Strengths
In Battle.
But This Hour,
Thy Untamed Will
Must Yield
To The God Of Thunder.
Rrrr!
[Horn Honks]
Rrrr!
Cease Thy Savagery,
Behemoth.
Eat Green. Rrrr!
Hammer Man Hulk Enemy.
Hulk Pound Enemy.
Rrrr!
[Screaming]
Man: Get Out
Of The Way!!
Hold, Emerald One.
Our Battle Hath
Breached The Tunnel.
Cease We Must,
Else These Mortals
Shall Perish.
Mighty Uru Hammer,
I Summon Thee.
Time Doth Grow Short.
Rrrr.
Not My Enchanted Hammer.
Rrrr!
Where Hammer Man?
Rrrr.
Rrrr.
Odin, My Father,
Thy Son
Hath Failed His Mission.
[Man Coughs]
Huh?
[Coughs]
Are You Alone, Friend?
Hulk Alone.
I See You're Green
With The Sickness
Like Me.
Come, Sit Down.
Share My Fire.
It's Been--Unh--
So Long
Since I Had A Friend.
I--I Really Miss
Havin' Someone To--
[Coughs]
To Talk To.
You Know, Nobody
Ought To Be Alone.
[Coughs]
Man Need Hulk.
Hulk Stay.
[Coughs]
Huh? Where Am I?
Gamma Radiation
Poisoning.
Wake Up.
Come On. Unh.
I'm Getting You
To A Hospital.
[Coughs]
Ahh, Pathetic Inventory.
If This Merchant
Ever Reopens,
I Will Never
Patronize Here.
Abomination, Be Careful,
You Clumsy Cretin.
Ahh, It Now Becomes
Painfully Clear
Why I Should Have
Left The Leader's
Mind Control Implant
Rooted In His
Gnarled, Scaly Head.
[Dog Barks]
Huh?
I Cannot Believe It.
Dr. Banner Is Here?
In Detroit?
Glory Be, I Am Saved.
Abomination!
Abomination, Come Help!
Ohh, He's Gone.
Ahh.
You Can Dress Him Up,
But You Can't
Give Him Brains.
P.A.: Dr. Barnes, Dial
Start An I.V. Drip
And Push 2 Ccs
Of Adrenaline. Stat!
Bruce? Oh, Bruce!
Betty. Oh, Betty.
Oh, Bruce. Oh.
What's Going On?
What Are You
Doing Here?
Some Gamma-Mutated Virus
Has Gone Out Of Control.
It's An Epidemic,
And We Can't Stop It!
Bruce, We're
Running Out Of Time.
A Virus? But--
Code Blue.
300. AndClear.
Heart Rhythm
Steady But Weak.
It's Now Or Never To Test
That Synthetic Vaccine.
1 Cc. Oh, Dr. Banner.
Thank Goodness.
I'm Dr. Blake.
I Wasn't Sure
If You'd Show.
You Were Expecting Me?
Betty Said You'd Come
Once The Hulk
Was Brought Here--
The Hulk?! But Who
Could've Brought--
Not Important.
Let's Just Get You
Into A Suit.
These Are
Highly Contagious
Test Cultures
Which Manifest Symptoms
Almost Immediately.
So Far, Our Serum
Only Manages
To Temporarily Slow
Their Ravaging Effects.
We're Going
To Lose This Battle
Unless We Find The Source
And Develop An Antibody.
Or There'sOne Other
Possible Option.
You Can Take
A Blood Sample From Me.
My Prolonged Exposure Has
Definitely Had No Effect.
I'm, Um
My Gamma-Mutated Blood
Has Made Me Immune
To The Virus.
Oh. "Bring The Hulk
Here,
And Bruce Banner
Won't Be Far Behind."
Betty Meant--
Incredible, Isn't It?
To Say The Least.
Well, Let's Take
That Sample.
Of Course,
We'll Have To Filter Out
The Gamma Mutations
In My Blood Plasma
To Keep It From--
[Glass Breaking]
No. Stop.
Unh. Hold On.
Unh. Ohh!
Oh, No.
Ohh. Unh.
Betty.
Dr. Banner,
Those Contagious Cultures
That Spilled On Her--
Such Massive Exposure
Has Sped Up Her Infection.
She Doesn't Have Much Time.
I Need
Your Blood Sample Now.
[Coughs]
Bruce
Oh, Betty.
All Because Of Me
And My Gamma Research,
Everything Is In Danger.
And Now You.
What Have I Done?
Bruce, It's
Not Your Fault.
Yes, It Is. It Is.
I Even Brought That
Homeless Man In Here.
I'm The Only One
To Blame.
OhhSo Tired.
Betty, I Can't
Lose You This Way.
You're My Lifeline.
And You're Mine.
[Crash]
Arrg!
I Want Banner.
Unh. No-O-O-O-O!! Unh.
Wha--
[Coughs]
I Ain't A Brain-Dead
Hunk Of Muscle
No More, Banner,
And I'm Ready For
A Green-On-Green
Rematch.
Abomination
This Is Not The Time
For Your Petty Grudges
Against The Hulk.
Our Good Doctor
Is Here To Help Us.
Gargoyle, Is That You?
It Is.
Unh. Ooh.
Though,
As You Can See,
I'm Less And Less
The Disfigured Freak
You Once Reviled.
But The Price
Of My Normalcy
Is Sickness.
In Fact, I'm Dying.
[Coughs]
Yeah, Well, So Are
Hundreds Of Others,
Including Betty.
I'm Needed
Back In That Hospital.
You're More
Urgently Needed Here
In This Place,
Where I Unleashed
The Virus.
You What? Aah!
Unh. All Right, Pal.
You Want A Bout With The Hulk,
Just Keep Pushin' Me.
Please Understand,
Comrade,
The Tragedy
Was Unintentional.
After The Leader
Banished Me,
I Came To These Quiet,
Germ-Free Caverns
To Ensure The Purity
Of My Experiment's
Gamma Rays.
[Coughs]
But An Unforeseen
Development Occurred.
Tiny Arthropods
Who Feed On Salt
Had Found
New Sustenance--
Gamma Waste.
And These Insects
Carried The Virus.
And The Salt
Must've Contributed
To Its Mutation.
Yes. Yes. They Quickly
Infected The Workers
In The Salt Mine,
Who Then Carried It
Up To The City,
Where It Spread.
I Just
All I Wanted
Was To Be Normal.
You Caused This Outbreak.
Now You're Gonna
Help Me Solve It.
Understood?
We Are Yours To Command,
As Long As
Saving My Life
Is In The Bargain.
Bruce.
He's, Uh
He's Not Here.
The Serum From Bruce--
Does It Work?
Well, We Didn't--
We're Real Close.
You Get Some Rest.
Ohh.
Unh. Unh.
Unh.
I'm Running
Out Of Time.
I Won't Survive
Much Longer.
Just Hang Tough,
Gargoyle.
We're Close.
I Just Have To Isolate
The Mutagenics.
But I'm Not Sure
How To Maintain
Platelet Integrity.
Perhaps By Using Slow,
Minimal Exposure
Of Controlled
Gamma Emissions.
LikeA Slow Boil.
That Could Work
Because Overexposure
Would Destroy
These Particular
Mutagenics And
Create A Process
That Could Possibly
Cure You?
Yes. Maybe.
But The Ambient Factors
In This Serum
Can Never Be Duplicated.
It Mutates Too Quickly.
I'd Have To Try It
Now Or Never.
This Is My Chance--
There's No Time
To Do Both.
No, There Isn't.
Let's Just Forget About Me.
Let's Move Forward.
A Very Noble Deed,
Dr. Banner.
You Are
An Honorable Man.
No.
No. I Just Wanna Save
The Woman I Love.
Respiratory At 20%.
She's In The Final Stages
Of The Disease.
Another 2 Ccs
Of The Test Serum.
We Have To
Stall This Long Enough
For Us To Locate Banner.
He's Our Only Hope.
If I Only Knew Where To--
Salt?
Where's That
Scaly Creature Been
That It Would
Pick Up So Much Salt?
Ahh, It Has Been
So Very Long
Since I Gazed
Upon This Face
Which My Own Senseless
Radiation Experiments
Took From Me.
[Coughs]
And Now, I Must
Give It Away Again
To Save My Miserable Life.
Normal. Huh.
Gimme My Strength Back
Instead Of
This Iron Zoot Suit.
That's All I Want.
[Coughs]
The Hulk And I
Got A Long Overdue
Slugfest To Attend To.
I Am Ready.
That's Tough,
'Cause So Am I.
Unh!
No. Be Careful
With The Serum.
Y-Yes-S-S.
Enough With This
Armor Crutch. Unh.
Arrg!
You--You Shouldn't
Have Done That.
Come On, Banner-Weight.
Bring On The Hulk.
Unh. Unh.
Rrrr!
Aah!
Rrrr!
Unh. Ohh.
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho.
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho.
The Salt Tracked In
By That Beast Is Pure,
Unrefined Sodium.
Where Would That
Come From?
My Guess Would Be
The Salt Mines.
They Run On For Miles
Right Under Detroit.
The Secret Lies There.
Mighty Uru Hammer,
Lead Us To The Object
Of My Quest.
Rrrr! Hulk Smash!
Thou Dost Sorely
Try My Patience.
Unh!
Rrrr.
Hulk, We Must
Depart This--
Arrg!
Hulk Smash And Bash.
Unh.
Rrrr.
Hulk, Search Well Thy Heart
For The One Called Betty.
Betty?
'Tis She Who Hath Dire Need
Of Thy Life Force.
Need Hulk?
Rough Luck, Greenie.
Behold, A Raging Torrent
From The River Above.
Surely To Flood The Mine
And Destroy The City.
Stand With Me, Giant.
Harness Thy Wrath
To Impede This Calamity.
Hammer Man,
Take Hulk To Betty.
'Twould Be
Thor's Privilege,
O Bestial Wanderer.
Betty?
HulkHere Now.
I'm Right Here, Betty.
Dr. Banner, The Serum
Will Be Ready Soon,
But Not In Time
To Save Her.
No.
No.
Oh, Betty.
Dr. Banner?
There Should Be Enough
Serum Left In Here
To Save Those Most Ill.
Gargoyle,
How? Why?
I Didn't
Expect This.
Even A Pathetic
Troll Of A Man
Is Capable
Of A Noble Deed.
Thank You.
Do Not Expect
Such Mercy Again
The Next Time
We Meet, Dr. Banner.
Though In Another Time,
Another Place,
We Might've Been
Respected Colleagues,
Today, You And I,
We Are Fated Enemies.
It Would Be A Mistake
For You To Think
Otherwise.
Oh.
[Moaning]
Bruce?
It's Over Now, Betty
For Everyone.
Military Choppers--
Fully-Armed.
Betty, I--
I Know. For Now,
You Have No Choice.
But, Bruce, Very Soon,
Things Will Be Different.
I Will Make Sure Of That
Because
I Don't Know
How Many More Times
I Can Say Good-Bye To You.
[Train Whistle]
Come On, Brother,
Take My Hand.
