Synopsis for "Who Remembers Scorpio? Part Two: Rampage"

As Moon Knight makes his escape to inform the Defenders of his findings and try to save Jack Norriss, Scorpio now has Nighthawk as his hostage beside Norriss himself, who was a necessary collaborator in Scorpio capturing Nighthawk. The Defenders reunited with Moon Knight decide they need the Hulk's power to help free Nighthawk and Jack from Scorpio's base. However, when they find the Hulk, the green goliath is reluctant to fight for them.

Hard pressed to save their friends, the Defenders have to resort to bringing the Hulk into a rampage and tricking him into following them to Scorpio's base through the tunnel under the Hudson river. However they arrive too late, as Scorpio has just activated his android Zodiac army.

Meanwhile, in Moscow Airport Terminal, The Red Guardian, under his secrent identity of Doctor Belinskaya is captured by the KGB.
