When she was a child, Jackie McGee and her father were in their
home when the Hulk crashed in and her father was never the same after that day.
And Jackie dreamed of confronting the Hulk someday...
…and she’s had her chance; now she is crashing into Shadow
Base B with Hulk, Rick Jones, and Red Harpy to battle the Abomination/General Fortean
and his troops while Gamma Flight (Doc Samson, Puck, Titania, and
Absorbing Man), prisoners only moments before, join in. With Hulk’s
distraction, Red Harpy takes Rick and Jackie through the facility on a search….
Back at the battle, troops have fired titanium needles with a
tranquilizing drug at Absorbing Man but this time he’s ready and he transforms
into titanium to take on Fortean. Hulk is attacked by an S-E unit: a cyborg
metal suit that emits solar radiation, designed to force Hulk to transform back
into Bruce Banner. Fortean orders his men to open fire and Doc Samson, leaping
to protect his comrades, is cut to pieces by gunfire. Puck responds by ripping
the brain out of the S-E unit and stomping on it. Hulk pulls himself together (literally)
to continue fighting….
Rick burns his way through the door where the scientists are
watching the battle on viewscreens. Rick confronts Dr. McGowan who claims all
guilt and asks that her team go free. They see Rick’s real body in a tank of
chemicals, alive since he was pulled from his grave but sedated to erase his
pain; Rick accepts that and settles down….
Back at the fight, Creel is melted by a weapon and not given
any time to transform again. Titania and Puck are shot down with electrical
weapons. Hulk faces Fortean at last and the General, to prove he’s the superior
weapon, vomits acid all over Hulk…who tears his melting skin off and is ready
for more….
