determined by our profilers. Both Banner and The Hulk are perhaps more
dangerous now than they’ve ever been before. Our psychologists and profilers
have advised that we throw out the book on everything we thought we knew
about both Bruce Banner and The Hulk. There is now simply no way of
predicting what either of them will do in any given situation."
An American voice full of the richness of the south spoke from the second row:
"Why don’t we just abandon our plans to use The Hulk? You’ve done some
mighty extraordinary work on your own, Professor." Again a ripple of respectful
applause filled the hall. Professor Ban held up a metal hand that flashed in the
light as she smiled.
"Thank you, thank you. And yes, my work has been remarkable. As of now we
have twelve subjects who have survived the various procedures and surgeries
that I have developed to safely induce gamma-irradiated mutation. But we could
do so much more if we had Bruce Banner and The Hulk. No matter how much I
have done I could labor another twenty years and still never have half of the
knowledge that Bruce Banner has when it comes to gamma radiation. Even after
all this time, being a man on the run with no access to proper equipment or time
to research, Bruce Banner is still regarded as the world’s leading expert on
gamma radiation. As for The Hulk…what more needs to be said that if there’s
such a thing as a living gamma bomb, then The Hulk is it. The Hulk has beaten
just about every superhuman being on the planet he’s ever fought and survived
the attacks of entire armies. He’s been hit with every type of weaponry this
planet has from a peashooter to a nuclear warhead and he’s still alive. Ladies and
gentlemen, in my professional opinion I don’t even think that it IS possible to kill
The Hulk." Professor Ban leaned on the podium and her eyes sparkled as she
continued:
"And that’s why we need them. Somewhere in the DNA of Bruce Banner there’s
the answer we need. And there’s somebody here who has set his own plan in
motion for locating The Hulk and getting what we need and he’s going to speak
to you now." Professor Ban stepped back from the podium and added her
applause to that of the others as The Vice-President Of The United States stood
up and walked grandly to the stage.

Slowly the world came back into focus as Woodgod’s great lungs deeply drew
life-enriching oxygen into them. He looked up at his enemy, surprised to find
himself still alive. The Hulk had removed his enormous hands from Woodgod
and had raised his crushing weight up off from Woodgod’s chest. The Hulk’s
head was cocked to one side as if he were listening intently to someone standing
