Museum Director Dr Sofia Di Cosimo
explains to General Gladwell at the NATO Crisis Center (in an
airship) what could happen if Pandora's Box is opened. Bruce Banner
crashes the meeting, hoping to clear his name of the theft but the
military tries to shoot him. He becomes the Hulk and smashes his way
out, taking Dr Di Cosimo with him. As Amadeus Cho remotely shoots
down the missiles fired at them, Bruce and Sofia share an intimate
moment as they plunge into the river protected by transparent
shielding. They enter a tunnel to the underworld where Hulk battles
guardian monsters, while lamenting to Sofia how Banner is always
chasing after Betty. Bruce and Sofia are captured by little minions
and brought to Tyrannus and Betty. As Red She-Hulk, she insists
Tyrannus get on with the plan: Tyrannus, last Emperor of Rome wants
to open Pandora's Box to release Hope—and possibly restore the
empire to greatness, redeeming his name. Sofia tries to warn him that
the consequences could be dire but the palace is attacked by the
armored Knights of Rome who carry off Tyrannus and Sofia with the
Box. When the dust clears, Hulk and Red realize they will have to
team up to save the day....
