"The Rhino Says No!"[]

With the shadow of the Hulk behind them, Bruce Banner and Betty Ross now prepare for their long-awaited wedding. Even General Thaddeus Ross has come around to accepting Bruce Banner as a member of the family. He insists that the ceremony should be held in the Ross family home.

Meanwhile, the Leader schemes to avenge himself against Bruce Banner and the Hulk both. Utilizing the Super-Humanoid, he sends it out to a prison hospital to retrieve the comatose form of the Rhino. He has him brought back to his secret lair, where the Leader uses his mental powers to energize him and give him renewed strength and purpose. He even provides him with a Rhino costume.

The Leader and the Rhino use a specially designed modular truck (disguised as a gas truck) and pull up to the Ross homestead. The Leader wants Banner to suffer first, and activates a gamma ray projector, and fires a beam, that slams into Banner's back. Banner transforms into the Hulk, and the Rhino is chomping at the bit for a rematch. The fight between the two completely destroys the house, and General Ross is severely injured by falling debris.

Seeing as they cannot defeat the Hulk, the Leader detaches a personal transport module from the truck and flies off. The Rhino, not wishing to be left behind, super-jumps onto the edge and the Leader travels off with him.

Glenn Talbot comes to the side of Betty Ross and tells her that her father has been injured. An ambulance arrives to take the General away.
