Synopsis for "And Now... The Space Parasite!"

Materializing in the middle of New York following his battle on Asgard, the Hulk gets away from the mob that forms around him, but once reading the relative safety of the rooftops of New York, the Hulk changes back into Bruce Banner. As Bruce steals some clothing and tries to find his was to Rick Jone's apartment, Rick, General Ross, and Glenn Talbot are appearing on the TV show Jack Klyne show to talk about the menace of the Hulk. Meanwhile, an alien known as the Space Parasite has decided to target the Hulk as it's next target to battle and drain of it's energy, believing that the Hulk's strength will power it for some time.
Meanwhile, Bruce manages to find Rick's apartment and convinces the landlady to give him a key to enter. Reading in Rick's date book that he is to appear on Klyne's show, Bruce turns on the television and sees that Rick is telling the audience that the Hulk is a menace and must be stopped, this devastates Bruce who sits in quiet waiting for Rick to return home. When Rick returns home, he pulls a gun on Bruce, but avoids shooting him thanks to the intervention of Betty who also arrives on the scene. Suddenly the Space Parasite right when Betty begins to freak out and attack Bruce (it's later revealed that the Space Parasite was manipulating both with his scientific devices.)
Bruce transforms into the Hulk and attacks the Space Parasite, while the Parasite's own people the Xeronian's watch the battle from their home planet. They recount that they used their technology to mutate their king into what became the Space Parasite to ward off invaders, however when the Space Parasite succeeded in it's task it continued on into the universe battling other beings of power to sustain it's own life. They anxiously watch the battle, debating on if they should kill their former ruler or not.
As the battle rages on at Yankee Stadium, the military moves in ready to attack at a moments notice. While the Space Parasite had the upper hand to begin with, the Hulk eventually over powers the creature until it's strength is at it's lowest ebb. Believing it is about to die, the Parasite teleports itself back to it's ship. However the Xeronian's detonate the ship while the Parasite is in mid-teleportation, and it ends up dieing among the starts in the wreckage.
Although victorious in battle, the Hulk is bombarded with gas fired by the military, which causes him to revert back into Bruce Banner, and be arrested by the military.
