Synopsis
As the US Army moves into Harlem for a stand against the Hulk, an elderly woman refuses to leave her home, preferring to take her chances. At the Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson is enraged at the success of Front Line’s war coverage and vows a fight. Ben Urich and Sally Floyd are in the combat zone, trying to stay alive amid all the chaos and they come upon the old lady, standing forlornly, gazing at the ruins of her destroyed home. Elsewhere, Korg explains to Danny Granville that judicial servitude is a vow to avenge a murder, and failure requires them to kill themselves to apologize to the victim in the afterlife. With that motivation, Danny tracks down Thermo, a burglar/snitch and, with some encouragement by Korg, learns that the mechanoid had been in Slappy’s Deli. At the deli, they strike gold: a security camera, which likely recorded ARCH-E-5912’s movements.
“War is Heck:” Rhode Island holds an American Idol-style competition to choose their superheroes; the winner is Miles Flatt and His Amazing guitar of Death, a sort of cross between Ghost Rider and Elvis. Punch line: the next contestant was Iron Man.
