Synopsis
The child-like Hulk misconstrues Stark's concerns about Liz's
safety for hostility. Hulk warns the "Iron Man" to stay away or he'll
be smashed. Despite Stark's best intentions, he ends up fighting the
Hulk. Fortunately, he is able to knock the Hulk out temporarily with
his repulsor rays. Liz then explains that Hydra took over the facility
and detonated the gamma bomb housed here. Bruce Banner was killed in
the process. At this point the Hulk regains consciousness and resumes
his fight with Iron Man.
Jasper Sitwell watches this with a
certain amount of displeasure. After years of gaining Stark's trust, he
has been granted free reign with his company. With Stark on the verge
of death, he looks to acquire even more power than before. His abandons
his post, intending to find Stark or his corpse. He soon meets up with
Liz Ross and they continue their search for Tony Stark.
Iron Man
leads the Hulk outside the plant where their fight continues all the
way to Niagara Falls. A CNN news-copter happens to be in the area and
is the first to record the clash of the titans. Stark realizes that his
suit is running dangerously low on power. He receives a quick-charge
from a downed power line. He then leaps at the Hulk and hits with
full-force with both repulsor rays.
Their momentum carries them over the Falls.
