Synopsis
Doc Samson succeeds in separating Bruce Banner and the Hulk. Bruce is in a coma and the Hulk seems pretty docile but Quartermain shows up to take the jade giant into SHIELD custody to be disposed of permanently. Thinking that he can still turn the Hulk into a force for good, Samson frees him from the SHIELD transport but the Hulk goes on a rampage and Samson vows to track him down and kill him.
