Wolverine is taking a camping vacation in the Colorado
Rockies when Hulk suddenly comes down on him. Though Hulk didn’t know he was
there, Logan takes it personally and a fight ensues. Then they are interrupted
by X-Factor (Havok, Polaris, Wild Child), announcing they have been authorized
by the US government to take the Hulk into custody. Logan calls them a bunch of
traitorous mutant-hunters and the battle resumes. Wild Child takes on Logan
while the others two capture Hulk by Polaris disrupting the iron content in his
brain to render him unconscious. Havok then blasts Logan to end that fight too.
The two captives are locked into special harnesses, loaded on a plane, and
taken to Hulkbuster Base. There they are met by Major Glenn Talbot and their
liaison Valerie Cooper. They take the X-Factor members to meet General
Thunderbolt Ross but he seems catatonic, with another mystery person in the
room….
While being transferred to a cell, Wolverine recovers much
more quickly than they had expected and he breaks free and takes down all the
soldiers guarding him. He dons a uniform as a disguise and contacts the X-Men
in New York to summarize the story thus far; Storm promises to send help. Logan
then locates the lab where the Hulk is imprisoned. When he discovers scientists
experimenting on him, he flies into a rage and smashes his way into Hulk’s
cell. And then the wall explodes and the Leader enters on a levitating platform
accompanied by a Humanoid army, wanting to take the Hulk….
