Chapter Summaries

Chang Wei used his Gravity Generator and martial arts to control Hulk and redirect the monster’s attacks. As Tony analyzed the device’s effects, Hulk’s movements grew sluggish and uncoordinated.

• General Ross watched Hulk struggle in Chang Wei’s gravitational field and recognized Chang Wei’s power and influence through War God Industries.
• Hulk broke free as his rage increased his strength, then charged Chang Wei.
• Chang Wei dodged Hulk’s punch and used Deflect and Counter to make Hulk hit himself.
• Chang Wei activated his Gravity Generator again and used shifting gravitational forces to redirect Hulk’s attacks.
• Tony used J.A.R.V.I.S. to analyze how Chang Wei’s device distorted spacetime and interfered with Hulk’s movements.

Chang Wei used precise gravity manipulation to trap Hulk in a spacetime distortion, then sent high-voltage current through the gravitational field. Hulk was engulfed in electricity and transformed into a blazing fireball as General Ross watched in horror.

• Tony realized that Chang Wei's control over gravity was beyond anything Iron Man could counter.
• Chang Wei explained how he manipulated spacetime folds and spread a carefully arranged gravitational field across Columbia University.
• Chang Wei formed a funnel of distorted space around Hulk, whose body began to crack under the pressure.
• Chang Wei sent high-voltage current through the gravitational field, causing Hulk to scream and convulse.
• Hulk's blood and the current blazed together until his body became a fireball, and General Ross cried out in shock.

Chang Wei used gravity-enhanced energy to defeat Hulk, leaving General Ross and Tony Stark stunned by the scale of his power. War God Industries’ Power Armor unit arrived, and Chang Wei ordered it to seal the scene and prevent anyone from leaving.
