"Man Nor Beast"[]
Bruce Banner and Red Hulk continue with their plans to go after the Intelligencia. Members of the cartel have already captured Reed Richards and Victor von Doom and have now set their sites on kidnapping the king of Wakanda, T'Challa. Red Hulk gets this intel and goes to Wakanda to intercept them. The Red Ghost and his Super-Apes arrive at the Royal Palace and manage to capture T'Challa. The X-Men are already present just as the Red Hulk arrives. The X-Men find that Red Hulk is the larger threat and attack him. While Red Ghost readies T'Challa into his air-ship, he has his Super-Apes attack Red Hulk. Red Hulk brutally murders Miklho the gorilla. Out of rage, Red Ghost shoves an intangible fist into Red Hulk's chest and begins squeezing his heart. Once Red Hulk falls unconscious, Red Ghost and the remaining Super-Apes leave with their prize.
