Synopsis for "Incredible Hulk"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Incredible Hulk #235
(originally printed as The Monster and the Machine)
The Hulk has been tricked by the Corporation into thinking that Machine Man had kidnapped his friend Trish Starr. Told to go to Central City, the Hulk and his ally Fred Sloan go there the fastest way the Hulk knows: by giant leaps. The experience really frightens Fred, but the Hulk assures him that he won't let Sloan get hurt. When they stop to consult Fred's map, they are unaware that they are being watched by a Forest Ranger who is in the back pocket of the Corporation. This is reported back to Curtiss Jackson who is pleased. His prisoner, Trish Starr, asks Jackson why he is doing this. Jackson explains that he intends to trick the Hulk into fighting Machine Man in the hopes that one or both of his foes are destroyed, as they have interfered with the Corporation in the past.

Meanwhile, in Central City, Machine Men is completing repairs on his body when he is visited by his allies Dr. Peter Spaulding and Colonel Kragg. After the repairs are done, Machine Man is told that Congressman Brickman has called Machine Man back so they can complete the hearings that will potentially give Machine Man the same rights as a living being. In the courtroom they are joined by reporter Tracy Warner who tells them that the trial is being sped up due to the death of Senator Stivak the day before. Soon court is in session and Congressman Brickman informs the court that he is required in Washington D.C. for an indefinite period of time, the then tells Machine Man that he will be remanded into the custody of Dr. Spaulding until such a time that X-51's case can be re-examined. Although Machine Man's allies celebrate this victory, the robot points out that the case can be re-opened at any time. At the same time, Brickman's colleagues congratulate him for a job well done, pointing out that he didn't need to "crucify" Machine Man in order to get ahead in politics. When they remark about the shady business that Stivak was in before he died, Brickman assures them that he won't make the same mistake. Thinking to himself, Brickman plans to never get caught.

Later, the Hulk and Fred Sloan arrive at the home shared by Machine Man and Dr. Spalding, as instructed by the phony Machine Man that kidnapped Trish. Fred tells the Hulk that they shouldn't make too much noise yet and after poking around the house discover that it is apparently empty. Impatient, the Hulk forces open the door so they can look for Trish inside. They find no trace of the woman, but Fred finds a desk drawer full of guns. While not far away, a Corporation agent in a milk truck watches the scene and reports the arrival of the Hulk and then witnesses as Machine Man and Dr. Spaulding return home. Seeing that the door has been forced open, Machine Man tells Peter to stand back while he investigates. No sooner is X-51 inside the house is he knocked back outside by a powerful blow from the Hulk.

As the Hulk and Machine Man fight it out, Peter rushes into the house where he is confronted by Fred Sloan. Nervously, Sloan points one of the guns he found at Peter telling him that he will use it if he has to. Outside, the Hulk demands that the robot return Trish Starr. Machine Man, realizing that someone tricked the Hulk into attacking him, tries to explain to the brute that he has kidnapped nobody. However, the Hulk is so enraged he is not willing to listen, forcing Machine Man to stop pulling his punches. However, the Hulk proves too powerful and Machine Man is shattered to pieces. Thinking Machine Man is destroyed, the Hulk turns around and goes back into the house. This is all a ploy by X-51 who begins reassembling himself immediately after the Hulk turns his back on him. Realizing that the Hulk is out of control, Machine Man decides that he has to stop the Hulk once and for all, or die trying.

(originally printed as Fear's the Way He Dies!)
Henry Pym, still trapped in a shrunken size (about that of a field mouse) is being attacked by a hawk. He takes several steps to elude it, including dismantling his ant-communication helmet in order to construct a make-shift weapon. Free of the bird, he comes across Egghead abusing his niece, Trixie, in a junkyard. He's trying to convince her to be a part of his latest plan. Pym interferes and Egghead pulls a gun. Trixie saves Pym and they both run off to hide. Egghead finds them days later. He captures Trixie and tries to kill Pym, but Hank escapes and sabotages Egghead's plans, which was to drain Trixie's "child prodigy" mind and add it to his own. When the two go their separate ways, Pym returns home to see his wife, Janet, lying on the floor, unconscious.

Reprint of the 1st story from
Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #12
(originally printed as Hell Hath No Fury)
An agent of Hydra, Robert Rickard, in deep cover as a an intelligence agent targets Colonel Fury in a bogus traitor charge in order to have S.H.I.E.L.D. pursue him.

Fury fights off some Hydra agents posing as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in an aero-car and makes his way to Agent Valentina de Fontaine who's supposed testimony is what allowed Rickard to bring Fury's loyalty into question along with some photos with a known enemy agent. Meanwhile Rickard contacts Hydra at their Supreme Headquarters as Agent U before making his way to guard Fontaine himself.

When Fury makes it to Fontaine he confronts Rickard and tosses him aside and gives Val a brief chance to confess to why she betrayed him. She begins to speak but Nick cuts her off and makes way to the balcony where he's confronted by Agent Gabe Jones. Fury lets up and gives Gabe a false sense of security as Gabe digs deeper into trying to figure out Fury's side of things. Fury, knowing Gabe will have to take him in knocks him out and switches clothing with him. This leads to Agent Jimmy Woo arriving in a Gyro-Copter and seeing "Gabe" defeat "Fury". Woo lands the helicopter and rushes to the knocked out "Fury" only to realize it is Gabe and that Fury has made his way into the Gyro Copter and takes off.

Some time later Rickard is giving orders to some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents but unknown to him Fury knocks one out and switches places with him. When the agents depart he confronts Rickard. He handedly defeats him again and calls a general to turn over the real enemy agent but unknown to Fury, Rickard was feigning defeat long enough to trigger a hidden dagger in his sleeve and is about to to throw it at the former Sergeant. Fury catching the glimpse of his actions just before the dagger is thrown, quickly shoots Rickard in order to save his own life, killing him. Agent Dugan comes in just as the deed is done and orders Fury's arrest for the murder of the intelligence agent.

Back on Earth, the Defenders take Nighthawk to the hospital to treat his burns sustained in battle. There Dr. Strange is visited by his old friend Omar Karindu who has brought him the Star of Capistan, however upon showing it to Strange, the doctor is mesmerized by it.
