Synopsis for "H... As in Hulk... Hell... and Holocaust!"

Fleeing the authorities after another rampage, the Hulk is led into a secret passage by a little girl. All this turns out to be a trap set by Asmodeus to lure the Hulk into his own personal hell. Demanding that the other Defenders bow to his masters demands, the Defenders instead enlist the aid of Son of Satan to free their emerald companion.

Traveling to Asmodeus' realm, all the Defenders and Son of Satan are all subjected to their own personal demons, however when they switch torments, they find it easy to break loose. Freeing themselves and attacking Asmodeus, the foe awakens the anger of his master, Satannish, who claims Asmodeus instead of his intended victims. With the Hulk free and Asmodeus gone, Son of Satan bids farewell to the Defenders.
