Three-year-old Bruce Banner was looking through an
illustrated edition of Paradise Lost when his father Brian became paranoid
about him and refused to let his mother take him away, “A boy needs his father!”
Devil Hulk, now locked up in the Hulk’s Mindscape, recalls
asking little Bruce to be let out to deal with Brian but Bruce wouldn’t….
Now in the Mindscape, the Leader is occupying the body of World
Breaker Hulk (the strongest there is) and has Savage Hulk a prisoner. He also
has Bruce Banner and Joe Fixit locked up. In the Below-Place, Leader, with the imprisoned
Doc Samson is juggling possession of several bodies. Dr Charlene McGowan has
rescued the horribly distorted Rick Jones, unaware he is controlled by the Leader,
and then Del Frye, the first victim, also controlled by the Leader, shows up
and they confront McGowan. But Samson clout the Leader in the head,
incapacitating Rick and Frye, allowing McGowan to hit the translocator and send
Jones and Frye elsewhere. Leader grabs Bruce and heads for the Green Door to
give him to his father but someone else shows up: Devil Hulk. And he is mad at
Leader for hurting Bruce….
