Bruce Banner, whose struggle with the Hulk places him at the center of a growing crisis in New York. Years after the fall of the Avengers’ unity, Banner has tried to live quietly, studying gamma radiation and helping repair damage from past conflicts. But the political landscape has become strange and unstable. Power in the city has increasingly been influenced by Wilson Fisk, who has managed to remain president for multiple terms through manipulation and political pressure, although he rarely appears in public. Instead, the real authority in neighborhoods like Hell's Kitchen is Fisk’s chief political enforcer, Thaddeus Ross, who acts like a powerful deputy similar to a vice-presidential figure. Ross secretly runs a program attempting to recreate Hulk-level strength using unstable gamma experiments. When several test subjects begin transforming uncontrollably and causing destruction, Banner is forced to intervene. As the situation escalates, Banner realizes Ross used parts of his old research to build the program. Feeling responsible, Banner transforms into the Hulk and destroys the facility to stop the experiments. In the end, Fisk only appears briefly, observing the chaos from afar, while Ross escapes injured, hinting that the gamma exposure may change him into something even more dangerous in the future.
