Synopsis

Marvel Knights: Hulk #3 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 2.5 stars

A vision of Hulk destroying the world….

Nikoleta Harrow recalls her early history. Known as Project: Miru, she was created by A.I.M. to be the perfect assassin, the mix of DNA of Dr. Jonas Harrow and his wife Gail, but she would not be controlled. A.I.M. head MODOK quarreled via viewscreen with Doctor Midas who was paying for a deadly agent; Doctor Doom sat in on the meeting, partner to Midas. Midas told MODOK to destroy Nikoleta and they would take their business elsewhere. Then Nikoleta escaped from her cell, killed everyone in the lab, and fled….

And now Nikoleta Harrow watches in satisfaction as the giant, mad Hulk destroys the forces A.I.M. has sent against her. As it now obeys her commands, she sees no need for Doctor Mantlo and kills him. She calls him off the attack and takes him away….

Meanwhile, Bruce Banner is trapped in a fever dream: Here, he managed to make it into the ditch with Rick Jones so he was never the Hulk. But exposure to a lower level of radiation gave him improved health, so on government orders, he and his wife Betty were kept prisoners in a house surrounded by high walls and high security on a military base. Brooding over his complicity in creating a weapon responsible for the deaths of multitudes, after Betty’s death from gamma poisoning, he tried to escape and, again on government orders, he was shot down by guards….

This hallucination triggers Hulk’s transformation back into Bruce Banner and he regains his lost memories. He is in a craft with Nikoleta Harrow and she shows him where they are going: the desert base where Hulk was created….

Review: See full review at issue #1.

Comments: Miru is the goddess of death in Polynesian mythology; sounds like a likely explanation for the project name.
