A huge mass of heroes led by Iron Man has assembled to
confront Hulk and Power Pack (Alex/Zero-G, Julie/Lightspeed, Jack/Mass Master,
Katie/Energizer), believing them responsible for the destruction of the city
(see last issue). Hulk gets angry and tries to smash his foes, forcing them to
fight back. Iron Man and Ms. Marvel blast Hulk who responds by slamming Carol
into Shellhead. The X-Men attack next and he thunderclaps them away. Thing,
Hercules, giant Yellowjacket, and Colossus punch Hulk simultaneously and Hulk
is knocked into Power Pack. Jack tries to tell Falcon Hulk is innocent but he
isn’t convincing when Hulk tries to drop a rock on them, Falcon saving Katie by
a hair. Attacks ricochet, knocking Falcon and Katie out of the air. Hercules
catches Falcon and She-Hulk nabs Katie—and then She-Hulk turns into Jen Walters
against her will. Reed Richards makes the connection and suggests that Katie
(a/k/a Energizer) can drain Hulk’s radiation, forcing a change back to Bruce Banner.
Lightspeed/Julie drops her sister onto Hulk’s back and the plan
succeeds, Hulk returns to his human form. But then Katie turns into a Hulk and
tries to smash Bruce but she fires the Gamma energy into the sky and returns to
normal. After ensuring that Katie will be alright, the heroes tell the kids
that they are taking Banner into custody to make sure he is safe. And Power
Pack offers to help Bruce whenever he should need it.
“Hulk Date”
Everything: Chris Giarrusso.
Synopsis: Hulk is going on a date with Betty; Thing loans him
his best suit and the other Avengers all offer confusing advice. Hulk picks her
up and her Dad sends a Hulkbuster robot along to make sure there’s no “funny
business.” At the diner, Hulk’s misguided attempts to be polite almost get them
ejected. When he tries to tell a joke, the robot interprets this as funny
business and starts to attack, getting them all ejected from the diner. In the
parking lot, the robot shoots Hulk with a flamethrower and Hulk smashes it to
junk. Later, Hulk returns Thing’s ruined but newly dry-cleaned suit.
