"Within the Swamp, There Stirs... a Glob!"[]
Convict Joseph Timms escapes from prison only to drown in a Florida swamp. Years pass until one day the Incredible Hulk hurls a barrel of radioactive waste into the swamp, reanimating Timms' corpse. Timm rises as Glob and lurks towards a nearby military base. Mistaking Betty Ross for his lost love, the Glob kidnaps her, invariably inciting a battle with the Hulk.
