At the campus of Omnisapient Systems,
Red Hulk faces the technomorphs who have apparently eaten Tony Stark out of his
Iron Man armor. But the armor is still active remotely, Tony having made his
escape to avoid being contaminated by the virus, and Tony and Red discover that
the infection can be reversed. While Tony fights the technomorphs, Red Hulk
heads into the complex to find the control source. Tony directs Red to the
building’s core where Dr. Parul Kurinji tries to stop him but he smashes the
central machine, ending the threat. Red and Tony part under strained
circumstances….
Bruce Banner is directing the “Scorched
Earth” project from Gamma Base. Steve Rogers and Thor arrive, the God of
Thunder ready to assist in the project when he spots the Red Hulk coming. Thor
attacks Red, having apparently not heard Steve’s explanation that Red Hulk was
now on the side of the good guys. The clouts him with Mjolnir, zaps him with
lightning—and suddenly, Galactus appears, ordering them to cease fighting. It’s
a hologram to get their attention so Bruce can explain matters. Leader and
M.O.D.O.K. fired a missile that opened a black hole which has diverted a pair
of comets in the direction of Earth and two super strong heroes are needed to
stop them. Red is supplied with a means for breathing in space (while Thor
confesses to Bruce that he did hear Steve’s message that Red was on their
side). Thor opens a portal and tows Red Hulk through into space where each hero
smashes a comet—but Red is hurled to an asteroid where he meets Uatu the
Watcher, telling him that he (Red) is about to be pulled into the black hole….
