After the events of The Avengers, Bruce Banner thinks that there are people out there who don't think Hulk is a hero. And he was right. Ross' compatriot Glenn Talbot launched an attack on Banner for grudges not withheld in him. The Hulk attacks his men and disappears. Betty was just trying to get to know Bruce again after what happened in Harlem with Abomination, so she and her father search for Bruce and Betty's ex-boyfriend Leonard is on Talbot's side to protect Betty. Meanwhile, Hulk ended up in Arizona on the porch of an old friend named Rick Jones, who was a nice and compassionate guy. But Banner needs Rick's help to get to a gamma lab in New Mexico so he can take the Hulk out of him, even if it kills Bruce. But on the way, Rick and Banner get attacked by Talbot's men at the gamma lab where there was an electric sabotage made by Talbot and Leonard was the victim and Rick was mortally wounded by Talbot's men, then saved by the Hulk like Betty and Thunderbolt. In the climax, Bruce now sees Leonard transformed into the electric monster Zzzax and sees his purpose on why Hulk is needed.
