The Man Who Fell from the Sky

Virginia, Culver University.

Dr. Bruce Banner was wearing the clothes of his ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend and saying goodbye to his ex-girlfriend, Betty Ross.

Betty gently helped Banner straighten his collar. The atmosphere between them grew ambiguous, and just as Betty was about to give her current boyfriend a green hat, several soldiers appeared and immediately stopped the immoral act that was about to happen!

"Move, move, move! Snipers, take your positions and surround all the exits!"

Betty's old man, General Ross, sat inside an armored vehicle and shouted into a loudspeaker.

Four military jeeps closed in from all around the university. Whenever they encountered cars blocking the way, they did not even bother honking, simply ramming straight through them. Talk about overbearing.

"Go, go! Get as far away from here as possible!"

Banner shouted at Betty before turning and fleeing into the school. Unfortunately, he was only a scientist now, not Hulk. Whether in stamina or speed, he was completely outclassed by those professional soldiers.

Before long, Banner was cornered on the roof. The doors on both sides of the rooftop were shut, leaving him no way up or down.

"Fire two smoke grenades inside!"

At General Ross's command, two soldiers fired a pair of smoke grenades from grenade launchers. Soon, the rooftop was filled with white smoke. Banner covered his nose with his clothes, but the choking smoke quickly drove him mad.

"Bang!"

The hand Banner had slapped against the glass window began visibly growing larger and thicker. His skin turned dark green, and finally, a beastlike roar rang out.

A man had fallen from the sky!

The three-meter-tall Green Hulk smashed through the rooftop and leaped down from a height of eight meters.

"Open fire!"

The soldiers lying in ambush raised their assault rifles and opened fire. To Hulk, however, it was no more effective than a tickle.

Then came heavy machine guns loaded with armor-piercing rounds. They could only leave a few marks on Hulk's skin, and still could not penetrate it.

By contrast, when the enraged Banner charged over, military jeeps weighing several tons were torn apart like scraps of paper.

After the battle, Banner was completely unharmed, while the military suffered heavy losses. Even Blonsky, who had just been injected with an incomplete version of the Super Soldier Serum, was kicked into human jerky.

The sight of Hulk battling the army was witnessed by many university students. They even recorded it and uploaded it to the internet, so Red Queen learned of it almost immediately.

"Guardian, you need to see this video. It happened a few minutes ago. I've already analyzed it. The video wasn't edited, and it wasn't filmed for a movie. It really happened, but I'm still very shocked."

Hearing Red Queen's words, Wang Khan stopped practicing his punches and walked over.

A beastlike roar came from the video. When he saw that familiar green figure, Wang Khan immediately knew they had entered the timeline of The Incredible Hulk.

"Are you really that shocked, Red Queen?"

"Of course I'm shocked. Although this green monster isn't as fast as you, his strength is far greater than yours. Even the Captain America from history should be far inferior to him. Is he a superhuman? He's incredibly powerful!"

Wang Khan smiled.

"Captain America is certainly no match for him, but the two are not unrelated. He became like this because he reverse-engineered Captain America's Super Soldier Serum, and an accident occurred in the process."

"Reverse-engineered the serum? Just like what you did?! I see. That serum really is highly unstable. If the historical records are correct, then even Dr. Erskine, the inventor of the Super Soldier Serum, had not perfected his research into it. It also had extremely serious side effects."

Wang Khan briefly introduced Banner's situation, while Red Queen also searched the internet for information on Bruce Banner.

After comparing the two photographs, even Red Queen was stunned.

"Red Queen, in your opinion, whose strength is greater, Hulk's or Thor's?"

"According to my calculations, Thor, wielding Thor's Hammer, should be superior to Hulk in terms of destructive power. However, in physical strength and defensive power, this Hulk should surpass Thor. If the two fought one-on-one, the odds would be roughly fifty-fifty."

Wang Khan chuckled.

"That's only because Thor hasn't fully mastered his power yet. But I..."

Wang Khan raised his right hand. Pure white electricity suddenly flowed from his palm. Soon, it spread throughout his body, forming a suit of lightning armor.

If Thor at this point could only be called the God of the Hammer, then Wang Khan was absolutely more qualified than Thor to be called the God of Thunder.

"Prepare the Quinjet. Before long, that green giant will be coming to New York. Although I now possess Thor's power, Hulk's strength is no weaker than Thor's. If I can perfect it, perhaps I can become even stronger. I absolutely can't miss this opportunity."

"Understood, Guardian. The Quinjet is ready and can depart at any time."

While Wang Khan was preparing to target Hulk, S.H.I.E.L.D. on the other side naturally discovered the video online as well. They soon determined through the internet that "Mr. Green," who had been in contact with Banner, was Dr. Samuel Sterns of New York's Grayburn College.

"Director, should we make a move?"

Coulson immediately asked Nick Fury for instructions.

Nick Fury wore a conflicted expression. In the end, he sighed.

"We don't have enough strength yet. Send Skye over to take a look, but don't act rashly. That Green Hulk isn't someone she can deal with."

Nick Fury secretly clenched his fist, his expression quite savage.

"Has there been any progress on Skye's genetic reverse engineering?"

"There has been some progress. The experts at the academy discovered that part of Skye's genetic sequence is very similar to Captain Rogers's."

"What did you say?!"

Nick Fury's eyes widened.

Coulson organized his thoughts before saying, "The academy's conclusion is that aside from Skye's innate abilities, she may have been injected with the Super Soldier Serum. Moreover, it appears to have had no side effects and may even be superior to Dr. Erskine's original serum!"

"Director, back then, apart from us, only Hydra had conducted deep research into the Super Soldier Serum. So that Shockwave Man..."

"That's enough. Don't ask too many questions about Hydra... Does the academy have any confidence in deriving the Super Soldier Serum?"

"It will be difficult. And even if they manage to derive it, there will certainly be significant side effects. However, after Barton learned of this, he became extremely excited and volunteered to be the test subject. Director, if this continues, I'm worried he'll do something foolish!"

Nick Fury of course understood that Barton wanted to avenge Natasha. In the past, he would certainly have stopped him. But after repeatedly being outmaneuvered by Wang Khan, Nick Fury desperately wanted to build a superhuman team, so...

"I'll handle this. Give Ross the information on Dr. Sterns. Let's resolve the Hulk problem first."

S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military also began taking action. Counting Wang Khan, there were now three forces involved.

At the same time, Tony Stark also saw the video online. He even hacked into Culver University's surveillance system and saw what Hulk had looked like before transforming. He recognized at a glance that the person was Dr. Bruce Banner, whose intelligence was not much inferior to his own.

Shock and curiosity led Tony Stark to start following the matter as well, and he soon found information on Dr. Sterns.

"He's in New York? This is a spectacle worth joining."
