Synopsis
The Hulk has been sedated and kept under lock and key at Project:
Greenskin in the hopes that they can find a way to cure Bruce Banner
once and for all. Betty however fears that they have tried too many
times and that perhaps the Hulk will never revert back to Bruce Banner
again. She goes outside the base and watches the stars and makes a wish
on what she believes to be a shooting star. It is in reality an alien
ship that crash lands just outside the base in the forest where it is
spotted by two hunters. What issues forth from the shuttle is a gigantic
insectoid creature calling itself the Inheritor, who has come to lay
claim to the entire planet Earth. As the creature trudges away from its
ship it explodes.
While back at Project: Greenskin, the Hulk awakens and attempts
to break out of his cell forcing General Ross to have the Hulk gassed.
The gas causes the Hulk to revert back into Bruce Banner, and he is
visited by General Ross and Betty. Ross assures Bruce that they will
find a way to turn him back to normal, however after all the years of
hearing the same story, Bruce is less than optimistic about this goal.
As they prepare their next attempt to cure the Hulk, the
Inheritor kills the two hunters and begins to be drawn toward Project:
Greenskin. At the Project, Banner is rigged up to a device that will
detect Bruce’s transformation into the Hulk and drain him of the excess
radiation in the hopes of curing him. The Inheritor meanwhile attacks a
truck filled with radioactive material. In splitting it open he is
bombarded with radiation that unlocks hidden memories about how his
species outlived the dinosaurs and early man. Wanting to awaken more
memories, it detects the radiations coming from Project: Greenskin and
is determined to absorb them as well.
There the Inheritor smashes its way through the base and reaches
the room where Bruce Banner is currently attempting to cure himself of
being the Hulk. Smashing open a reactor and being bombarded with
radiation, the Inheritor remembers that it was one of the High
Evolutionary’s New Men that was banished from Wundagore II and was
drifting in space. It soon found that it was losing it’s memory and
regressing back to it’s previous state when a meteor hit it’s ship
causing it to crash on Earth.
As
the Inheritor is recollecting all of this Bruce changes into the Hulk
once more and the green goliath battles the Inheritor. As the two
battle, the fight is taken to the surface of Project: Greenskin where
the Hulk then knocks the creature back down below. The Hulk is then
knocked down by the military’s counter attack. The Inheritor looking for
another machine to absorb radiation from stumbles upon the machine that
Banner was going to use to change himself back to normal. The machine
saps all the Inheritor’s absorbed radiation causing him to revert back
to his original form. The Hulk comes smashing through shortly thereafter
and finds only a single cockroach inside and no enemy to destroy.
Confused, the Hulk tosses the bug aside and it scurries off into the
darkness.
Continuity Notes
- A Note mentions that the High Evolutionary created the Inheritor prior to his first appearance in Thor #134 (in Italy in THC #33).
- Another Note teases that the High Evolutionary is still active and that readers can see what he’s been up to in Marvel Premiere #1 (in Italy in ASE #2)

Synopsis
When Kyle Richmond and Trisha Starr are the victims of a car-bomb,
the two are admitted to a hospital in critical condition. Both the
Defenders and Yellowjacket (knowing Starr personally) seek out their
attackers. Thinking it was his old foe, Egghead, who is also Trisha’s
uncle, Yellowjacket tracks him down and attacks him. He discovers that
the down-on-his-luck Egghead blamed his niece for his misfortunes and,
while not wanting to kill her, wanted to maim her in order to teach her a
lesson.
The Defenders, not realizing that Yellowjacket had already
tracked down the man responsible, try to locate those behind the attack
on their teammate. The Defenders somehow learn that the Squadron
Sinister hadreturned from their last defeat, and mistakenly believe that
they had attacked their former teammate, Richmond, who (as Nighthawk)
was a member of the Squadron Sinister. The Defenders are easily defeated
and made prisoner.

Notes
- In this issue, Trish Starr is maimed an automobile sabotage and loses her arm.
