During the fall, Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk who catches Glenn Talbot, unconscious for the fall, saving the Major from certain death.
The Hulk then leaps off, leaving Mongolia, then Asia, crossing the Pacific Ocean leaping from isle to isle (!), even from plane to plane (!!), until he reaches the USA.
At Thunderbolt Ross' base, Hulk enters a cabin to rest, and turns back into Banner.
Thunderbolt Ross, Betty Ross and soldiers find Banner sleeping. He's put behind bars accused of treason. But the US president (who knows Banner's double identity) orders his release, once again. Now Banner can resume his Absorbatron tests.
Talbot (later rescued from Mongolia) follows Banner to the isle. But before the test could begin, the Leader's Humanoids(again) show up, but this time, they defeat the Hulk using a powerful sleep gas.

Synopsis: While practicing his growth
skills, Giant-Man is nearly hit by a small private plane…and then he realizes
it is trying to ram him deliberately. He is hit and falls but catches the pilot
jumping from the plane but bumps his head on a tree and is knocked out. The
pilot is Dave Cannon, the Human Top, who has sworn revenge against the hero. He
contemplates bashing the hero’s head in with a rock but decides that would be
ineffective. He flees and Giant-Man wakes up with no idea what happened while
he was out….
Back at the lab, Hank tells Jan all
about it and also finds that he did lose his shrinking abilities last time. But
he has been able to make 35-feet his maximum effective height, an improvement
over his previous limit of twelve feet. But the frequent changes in size makes
him groggy and he nearly falls from the roof. He creates a new circuit for his
cybernetic helmet to slow his growth to thirty-five feet so he doesn’t become
dizzy….
Elsewhere, the Human Top decides he
would be all-powerful if he could only fly. He practices in his familiar
all-green suit (which he calls the “Human Turnip”) and fails. He designs a mesh
costume with armpit wings, filled with helium pellets and all is good….
At the lab, Hank has construction
people in to renovate the place to suit a thirty-five foot man, sneaking out
and returning as Giant-man to give them a hand. Then he adapts Wasp’s
cybernetic helmet to enable her to communicate with wasps and she trains a wasp
to serve as a steed, naming it “Boopsie.” Then they receive a phone call from
security downstairs that a reporter is on his way up to interview Giant-Man. It
is the Human Top in disguise, scoping the place out. When Wasp recognizes his
voice, he reveals himself and flies around the lab while Giant-Man chases him,
then leaps out the window with the hero leaping for him and missing, leaving
Hank hanging from the window frame. The Top then seizes Wasp and flies off with
her. Giant-Man climbs back in the window and, vowing revenge, sets off in
pursuit….
