Nick Fury is dead, killed by the Punisher in his relentless crusade for vengeance. The Hulk, still reeling from the chaos surrounding Wulf Christopher and the Abomination, feels the weight of guilt pressing down on him. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Bruce Banner reaches out to Betty Ross, seeking comfort. Her voice calms the storm within, but peace is short-lived.
From a distance, Bruce watches Fury’s funeral—a solemn ceremony attended by some of Earth’s mightiest heroes. But grief turns to conflict when a group of super-powered figures confront Banner, suspecting his involvement in the recent violence. Tensions flare. Fists are ready.
The President of the United States intervenes, halting the clash before it spirals out of control. Order is restored, and the funeral proceeds as it should: a tribute to a fallen warrior.
Among the mourners stand Daredevil, Dum Dum Dugan, Giant-Man, Hercules, Vision, Quicksilver, Iron Man, Wolverine, and many others. Each one carries their own memories of Fury—the strategist, the soldier, the friend.
For Bruce Banner, it’s a reminder that even in a world of gods and monsters, loss is universal. And sometimes, the strongest thing a man can do is feel.
