Bruce Banner, now living as a fugitive and struggling to keep the Hulk inside. Bruce is contacted by a secretive and amoral scientist name Samuel Sterns who offers Banner the chance to cure himself of the Hulk. Bruce discovers that Sterns is hiding a mutation of his own. Sterns once experimented on himself, accidentally giving himself the ability to transform into a super-genius creature which he refers to as the Leader. By analysing Banner, Sterns hopes to better control his own mutation in order to use his abilities for a sinister purpose. Things would get heated when Banner finds out that the Leader is being funded by Bruce's old enemy Talbot. Talbot survived his apparent death thanks to Sterns' and his advanced medical knowledge and has provided the Leader with money and resources in return for giving him the power of the Hulk. With DNA from Bruce, the Leader has now begun experimenting on Talbot, turning into a monster quickly nicknamed the Abomination. Sterns intends for Hulk and Abomination to destroy each other, leaving him free to accomplish his own dark plans.
