Hulk defeats Sentry so Reed Richards and Tony Stark activate
satellite weapons in hope of destroying Hulk; they nuke most of Manhattan,
killing many, including themselves. With most of the heroes gone, the Skrulls
conquer Earth. Months later, Vision encounters Bruce Banner and persuades him
to join a small group of survivors led by Wasp to fight back against the enemy
Skrulls. Hulk inspires the people and brings all of the heroes out of hiding to
join the resistance. The Skrulls then reveal that Wasp has been a Skrull spy
from the beginning and she detonates an unstable genetic weapon inside
Yellowjacket (Hank Pym), killing all of the heroes. Some time later, the
Silver Surfer comes to Skrull-controlled Earth and finds Hulk the only human survivor;
Hulk pleads with the Surfer to summon Galactus to devour Earth and bring
justice. He does. Galactus destroys Earth, killing all the Skrulls and Hulk,
with his memory erased, becomes Galactus’ new herald, the World-Breaker.
