Synopsis
Seeing Iron Man defeated, Dugan orders the SHIELD Helicarrier to attack the Hulk. Hulk boards the craft in search of Nick Fury. When told Fury is now an outlaw, Hulk gives the rest of SHIELD a free pass, to their humiliation. Later, Dugan meets with his advisers Lindsay and Quartermain. The former advises caution, hoping that when the Hulk has taken his revenge he’ll leave Earth; Quartermain, however, wants to fight the Hulk, even though no weapon they possess would be effective. Dugan retreats to the Directors’ office to ponder the options and is shocked when the Iron Man helmet mounted on the wall speaks to him. It is Stark, a prisoner beneath Madison Square Garden, communicating through his Extremis technology. He informs Dugan of the Doomsday Plan, a scheme to set up a series of transmitters that will send Manhattan and everyone on it into the Negative Zone, where they will be annihilated instantly. Just before Stark is subdued by his captors he informs Dugan the he is the only one Stark can trust to do the right thing with this knowledge. Dugan is overwhelmed, but as a good soldier, he follows orders, arranging for the setup of the transmitters.
