The Illuminati called the Hulk a monster — and shot him into space. But Amadeus Cho, the boy genius who took on Reed Richards, calls the Hulk a hero — and prepares for his return.

Will Hercules and Angel become the Hulk’s Champions? Will Namor be his Defender? And what happens when the Prince of Power meets the Green King on Manhattan’s shattered streets?
