Incredible Hulk, The (1968 series) #397

After the chaos in Las Vegas, Hulk and his fellow Pantheon members return to find their home base, the Mount, under siege. The attackers: the U-Foes, a quartet of superpowered adversaries whose abilities rival the Fantastic Four’s—but twisted by ambition and cruelty. The battle is intense, with Hulk and the Pantheon pushing back against the U-Foes’ coordinated assault.

But the situation escalates when a second wave of enemies arrives: The Leader, Rock, Redeemer, and a host of other gamma-spawned beings, each warped by radiation and driven by a singular goal—finding Agamemnon, the enigmatic and immortal leader of the Pantheon. These gamma-powered forces join the U-Foes, turning the skirmish into a full-blown war at the Mount. Hulk, caught in the center, must fight not just for survival, but to protect his allies and uncover the truth behind this coordinated attack.

Meanwhile, a sinister subplot unfolds. Rick Jones, still reeling from the emotional shock of meeting the woman claiming to be his mother, is tricked and imprisoned in the basement of her house. Her motives remain unclear, but it’s evident she’s not who she claimed to be. As Rick struggles to escape, Betty Ross and Marlo Chandler, sensing something is wrong, take matters into their own hands. Their decision to investigate sets the stage for a tense rescue mission and a deeper mystery surrounding Rick’s past.
