Meanwhile in Canada, Banner encounters Wolverine, who is searching for clues about his past. After a battle, the two decide to stick together to figure Bruce’s problems out. Soon both parties find hints that this is all a plan by scientist Samuel Sterns, who was damaged in the same bomb that created Hulk, now known as the Leader.
