Incredible Hulk, The (1968 series) #127

A truck almost hits Bruce Banner. This is enough to turn him into the Hulk. Bystanders gather, the police arrive and... Suddenly, everyone disappears! Whoever did that must be his friend, or so the Hulk thinks.

Meanwhile, Tyrannus, who used his teleportation ray to vanish the people, calls on Mogol, an 8-feet-tall monster, to recruit the Hulk for his attack against the Mole Man, who (again, see Incredible Hulk #5) has the Fountain of Youth.

Mongol has a brief fight with the Hulk, but they end up being friends! Both end up in Tyrannus’s lair where they help the villain prepare for his war building tanks and such.

During the battle against the Mole Man, Hulk discovers Mongol was really a robot. Furious at what he interprets as a trick, Hulk destroys Mongol, despite Mogol pleading mercy due to their friendship.

Finally, Hulk extinguishes his anger by destroying Tyrannus’ city. As he walked away, he considered if he should have speared his newfound “friend”.
