Synopsis for "An Intruder in the Mind!"
Supervised by Thunderbolt Ross, Doc Samson provides Bruce Banner with the encephalo-helmet, a device developed by Samson that enables Banner to control the Hulk's form. The Banner Hulk is reduced to a cell's size with Henry Pym's micro cannon and poked inside Glenn Talbot's brain. The last chance to save Betty Ross's husband lies in the Hulk! Talbot has been ill since the Gremlin implanted him with a mental block. The Banner Hulk is guided by Samson to where the mental block is located. But Talbot's brain reacts adversely to the strange visitor, creating solid images of powerful beings that have attacked the Hulk in the past. The characters who attack the Hulk are, in order of appearance: the Missing Link, the Juggernaut, the Abomination; the Leader, Rhino; Mandarin, Sandman; Silver Surfer, Iron Man, Sub-Mariner, Hercules; Doc Samson, the Harpy, MODOK, and the Gremlin himself. During the fight, the Banner Hulk feels an extreme pain from the encephalo-helmet and takes it out, unleashing the raw power of the Savage Hulk! Jade Jaws reaches the mental block in the form of a giant monster that tries to swallow our hero! Hulk smashes the monster curing Glenn Talbot's disease. But now Hulk is about to grow to his normal size. Samson fires the micro cannon and reduces the green behemoth' size to an atom, preventing the Hulk from unwillingly killing Talbot.
