In the arena for the second round of
the Warlord's Gauntlet, Hulk (Amadeus Cho) finds himself facing a
giant fighting robot with Elder Sharn and her sons bound to its
shield.. He balks at doing anything to endanger the innocent though
Headman Bahng insists he must be ruthless to win the Gauntlet. Hulk
chops the shield arm off the robot then blasts the rest of it with
his gun. Bahng runs onto the field against the rules and is shot down
by the Warlord's guards....
Elsewhere, Lickspit is trying to bring
through the portal anyone who can defeat the Hulk, killing those who
are vulnerable to his (Lickspit's) attacks....
Back at the Clan Doka'abi camp, the
dying Bahng says his farewells, names Chak the new headman, and
advises Hulk to never hold back. Sharn reminds him that if he hadn't
held back, she and her sons would be dead. A messenger from the
Warlord arrives with a request for Chak and the Hulk to appear before
him. At a feast, Hulk declines to eat, not trusting the Warlord. The
villain wants to know why Hulk has allied himself with those
weaklings, explaining that he is the Worldbreaker because he fears
nothing. Hulk declines Chak's suggestion that he kill the Warlord and
his guards right then because he (Hulk) doesn't kill. But Hulk does
announce that he is the real Worldbreaker and if the Warlord refuses
to uphold his part of the bargain should the Hulk win the Gauntlet,
he will kill every one of them. The Warlord thinks he's bluffing and
laughs Hulk out....
For the third level of the Gauntlet,
Hulk battles and defeats a giant scorpion. The Warlord summons
Lickspit but his minion is busy, finally finding someone who might be
able to defeat Hulk.....
The fourth level has Hulk facing a
mystery opponent—then he recognizes his friend Thor Odinson, now
his enemy....
