Incredible Hulk (2000 series) #106

Boy genius Amadeus Cho (a.k.a. Mastermind Excello) picks up Jen Walters (a.k.a. the She-Hulk) from a remote spot in New Jersey—right where Iron Man left her after their brutal clash, having neutralized her powers with nanobot inhibitors.

Amadeus has a mission: convince She-Hulk to stand with her cousin when the Hulk returns to Earth. But Jen hesitates. She knows the Hulk can be a hero… but also a monster.

Meanwhile, Reed Richards—tracking the kid’s every move (though Amadeus is well aware)—dispatches Doc Samson to intercept them. Big mistake. She-Hulk takes Samson down with ease, especially after learning he helped exile the Hulk in the first place.

Amadeus retreats to a nearby hilltop, where he’s greeted by two unexpected allies: Hercules and Angel, former members of the Champions—ready to help the Hulk.

> *Flashback:* Years ago, the Champions clashed with the Hulk on a highway, thinking he was on a rampage. In truth, he was rushing to save his cousin Jen, who was suffering from a ruptured appendix. The Hulk got her to a hospital just in time. That day, the Champions saw a different side of the green goliath—and began to question everything they thought they knew.
