With the Leader deceased, Hulk (still with Banner’s intellect) leaves the villain’s lair in Rome, carrying the Ultimate Machine he stole from a Watcher (in the previous issue).
Hulk stops somewhere in the Alps and tries on the Ultimate Machine. He sees his friend Rick Jones in trouble mentioning the White House. But the device's data torrent is too excessive. Hulk pulls it away on time before suffering the same outcome as the Leader.
That experience makes Hulk lose Banner’s intellect.
Hulk leaps away, destination USA to save Rick, forgetting the “Ultimate Machine” which is later recovered by its owner, the Watcher.
Upon receiving the news that the Hulk is heading for Washington, DC, Thunderbolt Ross grants permission for the military to use the T-Gun, Banner’s newest weapon. Strangely, its power is unknown by the military. The military fires a shot from the T-Gun, hitting the Hulk and sending him five centuries into the future.
Armored men attack Hulk in that distant future. It seems not much has changed for the uncomprehended monster!
