Synopsis[]
At Gamma Base, the Hulk goes on another rampage in the base's communications center, and easily defeats Doc Samson. General Ross attempts to subdue the Hulk with the Encephalo-helmet that they had used in the past, but this fails to make Bruce Banner's personality dominant. Hulk tears through the facility and leaps off into the air.
In Tecumcari, Jim Wilson and Kropotkin the Great stop to get some food when they overhear a nearby police radio scanner, alerting them to the Hulk's presence in Navapo. They decide to drive off to intercept him.
The Hulk drops down out of the sky in Navapo at the campus of Bruce Banner's alma mater - Desert State University. He begins tearing things up and terrorizes the students. One of Banner's old teachers, Professor Herbert Josiah Weller, comes out in an effort to calm the Hulk down. However, when he refers to the Hulk as "Banner", the Hulk grows even more incensed. Jim Wilson and Kropotkin show up, just as Professor Weller begins having a heart attack. The attack subsides, but Wilson admonishes the Hulk for terrifying a sick old man. The Hulk feels bad, but as he turns, he notices a statue of Socrates with the infamous words, "Know Thyself", carved in relief on the bottom. This stirs something in the Hulk and he drops to his knees, ultimately turning back into Banner. Doc Samson arrives to bring Banner back to Gamma Base.
