Synopsis for "But Who Will Judge the Hulk?"

General Ross and his Hulkbusters converge on the Hulk's location in the middle of the Nevada desert. From within Mobile Command Post No. 1, Ross, Captain American and S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury monitor the Hulkbusters' progress. Life Model Decoys, made to look like soldiers, surround the Hulk as a Hulkbuster fighter craft drops an electrified para-net down on top of the Hulk. Though he struggles to resist, the intense electricity ultimately takes its toll on the Hulk and he falls to the ground unconscious. General Ross contacts the President and informs him that the Hulkbusters have accomplished their mission. President Nixon informs Ross that the Attorney General and he will decide what course to take in the line of prosecution. Ross is shocked to learn that the President intends on placing the Hulk on trial.

Later in New York City, attorney Matt Murdock receives a telephone call informing him that he has been selected to represent the Hulk at his criminal trial. Murdock flies to Hulkbuster base where the now sedated Bruce Banner is loaded onto a passenger jet for transport back to New York. Murdock complains to General Ross that he cannot confer with his client so long as he remains insensate. Ross refuses to administer a stimulant to Banner out of fear that he might transform back into the Hulk. Murdock threatens to go to the Attorney General citing Ross' refusal to cooperate with the defense. Against all better judgment, Ross orders a medic to give Banner a stimulant.

Once he comes to his senses, Bruce realizes what is taking place. The fear of turning into the Hulk actually prompts the transformation and he bursts out of his clothes and stands in the middle of the aisle of the plane at 40,000 feet. Murdock approaches the Hulk and manages to keep him calm with soft words and platitudes of friendship. The Hulk remains calm long enough for the plane to land, at which point General Ross shouts his intention to bring the Hulk down. The Hulk, feeling betrayed by Murdock's seeming trickery, goes berserk and tears through the side of the plane. As he leaps to the landing strip, he finds the Fantastic Four ready to take him down.

Notes

  • The appearance of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew in this issue are likely no longer part of canon continuity due to the compression of the passage of time in the Marvel Universe. At the time of publication Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew were the President and Vice President (respectively) of the United States of America.
