As the Mad Squad's mission gets
underway, Commander Amanda von Doom tells Hulk that they are going to
assassinate Bruce Banner, good guy gone rogue, to prevent any future
mayhem he might cause. Doom reveals that just that morning, Banner
and his gamma-irradiated giant animals assaulted a US Air Force Base
and carried off their supply of dangerously radioactive gamma
isotopes. So Doom informs him that they must kill their quarry; Hulk,
however, insists that he be the one to kill Banner....
They arrive at the island and are
immediately attacked by giant green bat-men. Back at his lab, Banner
injects himself with a gamma serum but it has no effect and he starts
slapping himself, imagining he is being taunted by Betty, and finally
smashes his face into a mirror—but no result. At the beach, Hulk
singlehandedly takes down a squad of green tiger-men and leaps across
the island, tearing open the front of the lab and demanding Banner
come face him. Banner comes out and describes how he has been trying
to get the Hulk back from within but he can't make it happen. Hulk
sees that his next “experiment” involves detonating a gamma-bomb.
Banner wonders why, since the Hulk has been removed from him, he
still has all of his faculties—including the rage that he always
thought was the Hulk. In the midst of the madman's animal protectors,
Hulk picks up Banner by the neck; the latter tries to goad him into
squeezing but Hulk can't do it—he is no longer the monster. But
Banner is, so he fires a jolt from a special glove, sending Hulk
across the island. Donning jet boots and picking up weapons, Banner
heads out to finish off the Hulk....
