Synopsis for "Son of the Dragon"
Following the events of 1602: New World, David Banner has escaped from his execution by changing into the Hulk but not before killing King James I.
In the present, Banner takes solace in a Buddhist monastery situated near a section of China's Great Wall and has been concentrating in subduing the Hulk within him. Suddenly the monks of the monastery alerted that soldiers are swarming the countryside in search of a monster which had killed their king. Thinking that they are English soldiers who have come to avenge King James, Banner transform into the Hulk and decides to fight them.
Hulk confronts the soldiers near the Great Wall, but discover that they are Chinese natives. The soldiers immediately mistaken him to be "Yazi", one of the nine sons of the "dragon", and attacks Hulk (although ineffectively). Very soon they are confronted by the dragon Dilong, the real culprit that the soldiers were after, who specifically killed China's emperor. Dilong attacks Hulk for "disgracing his name" after the soldiers mistaken him for his son. The two fiercely fight in which Hulk emerges the victor after slamming Dilong into the Great Wall.
The soldiers are gratefully humbled by Hulk for killing Dilong and make him their new emperor. In an epilogue, Hulk is made emperor and is self-satisfied as both ruler and a "god" of China.
