Jackie Estacado, vessel for The Darkness, is riding the
subway when he spots a man who has a huge green burden on him. He follows the
man to a maintenance room where the nervous fellow pulls a gun on him; Jackie
recognizes him as Bruce Banner and asks him for an autograph. Leaving the room,
Jackie gets a shock: with his Darkness power he can see that all the people on
the platform are about to die: Chechnyan terrorists have seized control of a
train and are about to set off a bomb at the station. Jackie pushes Banner into
the path of the train and he immediately turns into the Hulk and destroys it.
But Hulk knows who pushed him and pursues Jackie who conjures up demons from
The Darkness to fight the monster. But The Darkness just makes Hulk stronger
and he grabs Jackie and starts to squeeze. Then the terrorists fire a missile
into Hulk’s back which turns his attention to them. With that Hulk pursues
them, while the demons detonate the bomb (the subway riders have all fled by
now) and the demons drag off the surviving bad guys. Banner confronts Jackie
who explains what he is and advises Banner to accept his own “powers” and
offers him a job with the Mafia. Bruce declines and heads off down the tunnel.
A SWAT team arrives and Jackie directs them down the tunnel after the Hulk,
seeing in their faces that they are about to die….
