| Upon learning of the Hulk's return, Iron Man made himself the first line of defense against him. Hoping to use the same S.P.I.N. technology he used to neutralize She-Hulk, Tony Stark engaged the Hulk alone to minimize casualties. But for some reason, S.P.I.N. had no effect on the Hulk, and Iron Man fell to his assault. Now the remaining heroes in New York are scrambling to put together their own defenses. The Mighty Avengers, aided by several of the New Avengers and She-Hulk attempt to confront the Hulk and talk him out of this destructive path. But not even his cousin, She-Hulk can dissuade the Hulk after his losses. The Hulk and his Warbound soundly defeat the Avengers, and move on to face the Fantastic Four. But the Hulk's attack on New York has hardly gone unnoticed by the government. The US military has mobilized a non-super-powered response to the Hulk's attack, lead by his old nemesis, General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross! |
