Connors frantically regenerated his body, waiting for a chance to reclaim it, then kill Norman Osborn, the bastard who dared devour his body.

At first, the light was as faint as a firefly, but in the blink of an eye, it expanded and brightened at an astonishing speed, as though a green star sunk into the Deep was awakening!
Hulk's enormous dark green body lay buried in the cold seafloor mud. The bizarre Gravitational Field turbulence triggered when Norman tore into Connors had tossed him into the Ten Thousand Meter Abyss like garbage.
Boundless pressure from the darkness crushed down from every direction, squeezing all the air from his lungs as the cold suffocation of death clutched his throat.
More deadly still, the terrifying torrent of Gamma Rays unleashed when Connors's body was torn apart, far beyond the limits of human imagination, pierced the heavy seawater like countless invisible, scorching steel needles and savagely drove into every cell of Hulk's body!
