The Incredible Hulk

Coulson frowned. Nick Fury had told him to keep an eye on William, but the moment he let his attention wander, the guy had disappeared. Coulson was worried, afraid William would get into trouble again.

Fortunately, he found him. But why had he just walked out of a room?

"I was looking for the bathroom, but I think I took a wrong turn," William said with a straight face.

Coulson froze, thinking, Do you really expect me to believe that? But he said, "Director Fury wants to see you. We've got a new mission."

"What mission?" William asked curiously.

Coulson thought for a moment, then replied, "It seems to involve a big, green guy."

"A big, green guy?" William's eyes lit up. If he wasn't mistaken, that had to be a reference to the Hulk.

The Hulk: a byword for destruction and invincibility.

He was hailed as the strongest Avenger, with terrifying strength capable of destroying an entire city in an instant.

Bruce Banner was a genius physicist. An accident had exposed him to Gamma Radiation. The radiation should have easily killed him, but someone else had saved him, turning his life upside down.

Gamma Radiation had turned him into a monster called the Hulk. He was immensely strong and nearly invincible, but extremely dangerous.

Whenever Bruce got angry—or rather, whenever his anger reached a certain point—he transformed into the terrifying Hulk and destroyed everything in sight.

The Hulk had strength like Superman, speed like a storm, and an impenetrable defense. He could lift objects weighing hundreds of tons. His skin was impervious to blades and bullets, and could withstand explosions. He ran fast, leaped tremendous distances, and could unleash powerful shock waves by clapping his hands together.

His nearly invincible abilities were tied to his emotions. The angrier he felt, the stronger he became; anger was the source of his power. So whenever Bruce faced other people, he always warned them:

"Don't make me angry."

Coulson brought William to Director Fury's office. After greeting him, Nick Fury began telling him about the Hulk: how he came to be, what he could do, and how dangerous he was.

Of course, William already knew all that.

A video was playing on the large screen on the wall. The Hulk was surrounded by the military as bullets and artillery rained down on him, but to him, the attacks were no more than a tickle.

He let out an angry roar, and the military's defenses crumbled in an instant. He lifted a tank and hurled it forward. Then the screen went black.

"My God, what kind of monster is that?" William exclaimed.

He wasn't pretending. Until now, he'd only seen the Hulk's rampaging battles in movies or comics. But seeing real footage today still made him swallow nervously.

If anyone among the Avengers was the most dangerous, it was definitely this big guy. Thor might be a bit thickheaded, but at least you could reason with him.

But try reasoning with the Hulk? Yeah, right.

After the events of Iron Man 1, the events of The Incredible Hulk would soon follow. Compared with the Hulk, Iron Monger was nothing. If he could help it, William really didn't want to fight the Hulk.

"Main Quest Started!"

"Main Quest: The Incredible Hulk"

"Quest One: Go to Bruce Banner's hideout and fight the Hulk!"

Just as William's thoughts were running wild, Athena's voice rang in his ears.

He froze. What the hell, Athena, are you doing this on purpose? I just thought I didn't want to fight the Hulk, and now you start the Hulk main quest. What did I ever do to you?

"Since the Hulk disappeared, the military has been searching for him," Nick Fury said. "The military wants S.H.I.E.L.D. to help find this terrifying monster."

"You want me to capture him?" William frowned.

He knew Nick Fury hadn't called him in just to watch a video.

"We haven't agreed to help the military yet. You've seen how powerful the Hulk is," Nick Fury continued. "What do you think your chances are against him?"

Uh... What were his chances? Infinite, infinite... close to zero.

Right now, he only had Soldier: 76 and Hanzo. He didn't think Pulse Bullets or arrows could penetrate the Hulk's defenses.

Maybe Dragon Spirit could hurt him, but before he could charge up enough energy, the Hulk would probably be tossing him around like Loki.

Of course, he couldn't say that. He was worried, but still replied, "I'd say fifty-fifty."

"As expected of Overwatch, the great savior and traveler from the future," Nick Fury said with a smile. "Looks like there's no choice but to put you in charge of capturing the Hulk."

William felt there was something devious about Nick Fury's smile. Hey, don't put words in my mouth.

Now that the main quest had started, there was no avoiding it. Even if he couldn't beat the Hulk, he'd have to fight him. Even if he couldn't win, he'd lose with style.

"Director Fury," William said solemnly. "Didn't you say the Avengers needed a dangerous guy like me to deal with extraordinary threats? Do you think the Hulk is dangerous enough?"

Nick Fury was taken aback. He had never considered recruiting the Hulk into the Avengers.

After all, the Hulk was far too dangerous and impossible to control. His plan had always been to capture him and lock him away, imprisoned forever.

But William's words reminded him that the more dangerous someone was, the more terrifying their power. If they really could get the Hulk to join the Avengers, the team would become stronger than ever!

"What do you have in mind?" Nick Fury asked, his expression turning serious.

"I do have an idea." William smiled mysteriously. "But I'll need your help."

Nick Fury had called William in under the pretext of sending him to capture the Hulk. In reality, he wanted to learn more about the mysterious power William possessed. Faced with the Hulk, William would surely go all out. The big guy wouldn't reason with him.

William claimed to be from the future and to have the ability to transform into Overwatch heroes. From a future soldier to an archer, Nick Fury was curious about what other secrets this guy was keeping from them.

After William left, Nick Fury called Coulson over. "How has he been acting lately?"

"Pretty sneaky," Coulson said, scratching his head. "He's been learning all sorts of skills and knowledge about being an agent from me these past few days, then he disappeared without a trace. I have no idea what he's up to."

"This guy really is suspicious."

"Sir, are we really going to help William?" Coulson asked.

Nick Fury's single eye gleamed. "Isn't General Ross recruiting the Hulkbuster Team? This is a perfect opportunity. I'm looking forward to seeing William fight the Hulk. What a sight that'll be!"
