Haunted by the fallout of his clash with the Insectoids, Hulk seeks to make amends—dragging hundreds of felled trees to a Canadian sawmill, a gesture of brute labor turned into quiet penance. But redemption proves elusive.
On his journey back to the U.S., Hulk spots a broken railway bridge moments before a train barrels toward disaster. His attempt to help backfires—his massive frame collapses the structure further. Yet in a feat of raw power and precision, he rescues the train from the abyss. The passengers, blind to his heroism, brand him a monster. Banner’s fragile control slips, and the savage Hulk roars once more.
At the border, Hulk faces a barrage of bullets and grenades—not as a threat, but as a wanderer desperate to return home. Nothing stops him. He leaps toward the desert cave where memories of Betty Ross and Rick Jones linger like ghosts.
Unbeknownst to him, alien chronicler Bereet has already taken Betty and Rick to Gamma Base aboard her techno-art spacecraft—setting the stage for a reunion that may heal or shatter what remains of Banner’s humanity.
