Hulkpool, with Bob, Agent of Hydra
hanging on for dear life, leaps from the Intelligencia Helicarrier
into the desert where they locate Doctor Doom's time machine, hidden
by Thundra. Hulkpool wants to go back in time to kill Deadpool so Bob
works the controls and sends H'Pool back to...1717 where he finds
himself aboard Blackbeard's pirate ship—only Blackbeard is the
Thing, Ben Grimm himself. [It happened in FANTASTIC FOUR #5, way back
when.] When Hulkpool uses a thunderclap to disrupt an approaching
storm, Captain Thingbeard gladly welcomes him to the crew. They enjoy
a successful career of buccaneering until a British Navy ship catches
up with them; this ship has a wizard aboard who conjures up a giant
squid-like monster to destroy the pirate ship. It seizes HP and Thing
in its tentacles as Bob hastily sends them elsewhen via time machine.
And the three of them—Hulkpool, Thingbeard, and the squid—end up
with Devil Dinosaur and Moon-Boy, though the time machine indicates
it is the year 2010 (when DD and MB were living in the Savage Land in
Earth-616). Devil destroys the squid and H'Pool calls out to Bob to
pick him up, the apes picking up on the call as our heroes vanish....
They reappear—HP, TB, DD—in the old
West where they encounter Hawkeye and the Two-Gun Kid [See AVENGERS
#142-144 and following for the meeting of these two guys]. After a
lot of chaotic action Bob manages to send Devil Dinosaur back to
prehistory and Thing back to 1717—and Hulkpool? He ends up finding
Captain America who is trying to rescue Bucky from Baron Zemo's
deadly drone missile....
