Hulk arrives at Russia and after confronting local troops, he ends up in a remote area infected with radioactivity called “The Forbidden Zone”.

Coincidentally, the Russian Super Soldiers (that is, Crimson Dynamo, Vanguard, Darkstar and Ursa Major) go to the Forbidden Zone to stop Sergei, known as The Presence, and their former soviet partner, the Red Guardian, from affecting the URSS with radiation.

When Hulk meets the Super Soldiers, Crimson Dynamo and Darkstar attack him, but Hulk defeats them. Ursa Major fights the Hulk, which causes Sergei to fear the monsters will damage some essential machinery. So he sets a transformation blockage in their minds, turning them into their human alter egos! Meanwhile, Vanguard finds his tutor Professor Phobos hidden in the building.

Elsewhere, Glenn Talbot, aboard the War Wagon battle-cruiser, continues looking for the Hulk, in his intent to kill him, disobeying direct orders from the US Congress to quit such a hunt.

And Rick Jones speaks to Captain America at Avengers Mansion, asking for the Avengers’ help to find the Hulk. Cap reveals Jones that Hulk is in Russia, but the Avengers cannot get involved in such a search to prevent international conflicts.

Also in this story: Jarvis.
