Searching for
the missing Charlie, Hulk is now fighting the ghastly Frozen Charlotte (real
name: Nephele, Mother of Angels) in the underground cathedral. She claims to be
protecting Charlie from the dark forces of the human world, which includes
keeping her away from Hulk. She explains that she is the chosen consort of
Lucifer, promised she would be mother to all the angels but Lucifer fell and
Nephele was exiled to Earth. Eventually, seeing that there were many innocents
around, she began collecting them, putting them in the little porcelain dolls,
and hiding them from the world. Hulk rains brutal blows on her until she is a crumpled
heap on the floor. But then she rises, with a halo and massive wings, and spits
fire at Hulk. He again beats her, breaking her neck. Then Lucifer arrives to
take her home, having found her because of Hulk. He promises that Hulk will
never see either of them again. Hulk enters the room Charlie has been calling
from and he finds her trapped in a tiny porcelain Frozen Charlotte doll….
