An elderly Indian waits in the desert for the Hulk who
arrives and instinctively wants to smash the old man. But the Indian says the
word “friend” and Hulk suddenly calms down. [At this time Hulk has been
separated from Bruce Banner and is supposedly mindless.] The man lights a
brazier of incense and that keeps Hulk calm, thinking about all the people he’s
ever known. The Indian goes into hiding and soon Hammer and Anvil arrive and
attack Hulk. Hulk naturally knocks them down, surprising them because he is
supposed to be mindless. Before the battle gets too intense, though, the Indian
shoots Hammer in the face which, because of their deep link, leads to Anvil’s
death too. The Indian shouts “Justice is served!” (identifying him as Scourge of the Underworld)
and escapes, leaving his disguise behind. Hulk picks up the mask
and wonders “Friend?”

Synopsis: Outside a public school, a bully waits for a smart
kid to walk by then knocks his books out of his hands, and then knocks him
down, slapping his face. Criminal “Colossal” Craig, pursued by Captain America,
smashes up his car then scoops up the two kids as hostages and dashes into the
school. Cap pursues him and they engage in a drawn-out battle, the kids getting
away and watching from a safe distance. Cap beats the guy and the kids cheer.
Later, we see the bully studying science and the smart kid exercising.
