Bruce Banner uses threats of the Hulk
to bully SHIELD bean counter Simon Tiptree into diverting some
funding to Bruce's new project. Behind on his goal to create
something new each week due to his adventures as the Hulk, Bruce
comes up with a fusion-powered high-speed rail engine—only to see
Tony Stark announcing that he has one. Bruce then devises a
tin-crystal battery—and then he hears that Reed Richards has beaten
him to it. The next day it's a microscopic implant to deliver
medicine—and then he's interrupted by Hank Pym wanting him to look
at his version of the thing. A testy Bruce tells Randall Jessup to
ask Maria Hill if the Hulk is needed that day so he can work off his
frustration. Randall offers Bruce gum as a down-home remedy for
stress—and it works. A red alert sounds: unknown energy is
radiating from a Meso-American pyramid in Mexico; Maria Hill tells
Bruce that he is NOT wanted there.
[While this is in progress we are also
shown scenes from Randall Jessup's childhood: his mother bitter over
losing her job as a deputy sheriff, abusing the family, finally dying
with her husband in a murder-suicide.]
Randall persuades Bruce to use his
“invisibility cloaks” to stow away on the SHIELD craft as it
heads for Mexico. They take advantage of the pyramid's shifting
structure to enter and find themselves in a narrow passage lined with
hieroglyphs; the sound of shrieking from further along down the
corridor triggers Bruce's transformation into the Hulk (and the gum
doesn't help this time). Hulk dashes down the corridor and out into a
huge room where SHIELD Agents are battling a giant monster. Randall
learns that Agents found the source of the energy—a small glowing
ball—but as soon as they touched it, a portal opened up and the
monster came through. Realizing that the runes on the walls are
connected to the portal, Randall calls to the Hulk to destroy the
place. Hulk does....
After being yelled at on orders from
Maria Hill, Bruce is sad that he lost the invisibility cloak; Randall
shows him that he kept the energy source. And Narrator Bruce tells us
that in seven days, Randall Jessup died to save the human race....
[Melinda Leucenstern also appears but didn't make it into the synopsis.]
