[edit] Plot summary
The story begins with Bruce Banner approaching Tony Stark to assist in curing him of the failed super-soldier serum that still runs through his body.[1] The Leader (an Ultimate amalgam of the original Leader and Pete Wisdom) is shown to be attempting to attain both men's blood. Tony Stark and Bruce Banner travel to a Stark facility and Stark places Banner under extreme pressure environments, causing him to become the Hulk and revealing that the Hulk is inhumanly capable of adjusting to new environments and situations.[1]
While the Hulk is on a rampage, Tony manages to get himself inside an Iron Man suit. But due to the lack of weapons, Tony must fight Hulk head on.[2] After Tony uses a blade to cut off the Hulks anger, Hulk reverts back into Bruce Banner. No Iron Man suit had survived more than one punch, while this suit had received two. This amount of damage cause the suit to go into overload, causing Tony to fly off and eject midair; falling to the ground.[2] He survives the fall due to his advanced healing.[3] After Bruce wakes up in the hospital, Tony explains how he has disabled the Hulk using Nanodes to shut down any Hulk cells that form. Later, After some rest, Bruce explains to Tony his true intentions for the Super Soldier formula that became the Hulk. He felt that if in the 1940's they could turn a dumb kid into Captain America, then a 21st Century formula would turn Bruce Banner into the greatest mind on the planet. Tony tells Bruce to use the time away from the Hulk to work on his Super Soldier formula, and that he can use the Ironworks factory however he pleases. Just then the Leader's men attack Ironworks and kidnap Bruce and Tony.[2]
In Issue 3, the history of The Leader is shown. In the fourth and final issue, Tony shuts down the anti-Hulk nanodes in Bruce's body and provokes the Hulk transformation to defeat the Leader. The Hulk subsequently escapes and Tony apologizes to Banner for not being able to help him.
