In Hyderabad,
India, where Dr.P arul Kurinji was raised, she has returned as the human-machine
hybrid Zero/One with her unwilling assistant Jacob Feinman. She is searching
for a creature remembered from childhood stories, a killer called the Black
Fog. Asking around, she is directed to Irfan, who runs an electronic store.
Revealing her true form to Irfan, she demands to know the whereabouts of the
Black Fog; Irfan says that he was captured and imprisoned years ago. Zero/One
demands that Irfan take her to this prison….
Red Hulk lies in a forest in Western Arkansas; he falls asleep and changes back to
Thunderbolt Ross and immediately nanites implanted in his brain by General
Fortean begin to detonate, forcing him to become Red Hulk again. He curses
Fortean and then spies a tornado in the distance….
Zero/One
climbs the wall to the prison’s top floor, extending hooks and cables from her
arm to haul Jacob and Irfan up after her. Her memories of the serial killer
Black Fog are tempered by the exaggerations and fears of her childhood, leading
her to picture a huge and monstrous presence. She locates the man in his cell
and finds a decrepit, one-armed old man….
In
Arkansas, Red Hulk swings into action, carrying a pick-up truck to safety then tracking
the tornado heading toward a school. He stands before the storm and gives a
mighty clap, which dissipates the storm and saves the town….
Zero/One
blasts a hole in the prison wall and orders Jacob and Irfan to bring Black Fog
who needs to be repaired and they return to the oil rig base….
General Fortean, aboard the Thunderbolt, sees what Rulk has done and surmises
that Red Hulk rescued the town to turn public favor to his side against
Fortean, even though a soldier tells him that Rulk could not have predicted the
tornado….
The
town hails Rulk as a hero but Annie pulls up in a van to take him back to Gamma
Base….
While Jacob writes in
a journal what he believes the outside world will need to know to defeat
Zero/One, the semi-human scientist upgrades Black Fog, recreating his missing
arm with her technomorphic alloy and increasing his height and fearsome
qualities in line with her childhood memories. The Black Fog, a sinister giant
cloaked in black and wielding huge blades, is ordered to hunt down and kill the
Red Hulk…. “Hulk Homework”
