Wolverine is battling Shredder on a small motorboat in the
middle of Lake Vague and then the craft smashes into the bank, hurling the two
combatants and hostage Margie White onto the shore. Meanwhile Bruce Banner
tries to revive the dying Kyle Hatcher whom he had pulled from the lake after the
villain had tossed him overboard. And then Bruce discovers that the antidote he
had been carrying was lost in the lake; he dives in hoping to find it but it’s
gone. He rushes the boy to the old man’s cabin to telephone for help….
Logan fights with Shredder who tears the hero apart,
demanding the Logan admit he (Shredder) is the best there is. Logan then slices
the villain’s grotesque right arm off. He then turns his back as Shredder runs
away, knowing by smell that the baddie is about to encounter a mountain lion….
At the cabin, Bruce has discovered there is no phone and no
anti-venom. Logan volunteers to catch a coral snake and that having the snake
bite him would dilute the venom enough to make it suitable for saving the boy.
Bruce points out that Logan’s healing factor would only expel the venom. Margie
volunteers for the job but she has already lost too much blood on the journey
and she might not survive a transfusion, leaving only Bruce….
Logan returns with a coral snake and has it bite Bruce. The
transfusion is set up but it doesn’t work, Kyle is losing so they have to bring
out the Hulk. Logan goads Bruce into losing his temper and the Hulk does indeed
come out, destroying the cabin. As Wolverine takes on the Big Guy, Margie
hastens Kyle to safety. The battle occupies several brutal pages and just as
Hulk is about to smash his opponent into toothpicks, the sight of the recovered
Kyle calms him down….
Kyle calls his mother to tell her he’s okay and she faints.
Logan dumps the bad guys’ cocaine into the lake and he and Bruce argue over who
saved the kid...and whom Margie likes more….
