What happens when you lose your script immunity?

Hulk 25 and 26.

Iron Man vs. the Red Hulk!

Flashback to the climactic end of Fall of the Hulks:

(Red Hulk was General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, for those who were living in a cave)

The end mirrors the end of World War Hulk, with Hulk and Steve Rogers coming to see Rulk in prison:

The prison was designed by Bruce Banner. Rulk is left in a zero-gravity chamber for three days, screaming and yelling that he knows he's too powerful to be left to rot.

Steve demands Rulk power down to human form. Then he hits him with a hypo.

Bruce says that he already beat Rulk at his full power. He doesn't need an edge against Ross. They glare at each other.

Bruce explains that the Intelligencia activated a program called "Scorched Earth". Doomsday weapons to destroy the world if they couldn't rule it. Steve says that he doesn't trust Rulk and that he'll be partnering up til Ross earns his trust again.

Since the first mission is some sort of make-people-robot-monsters (much like Omac) virus in Silicon Valley, Rulk will be working with Iron Man. Rulk arrives first.

SMACK PAGE!

Smack, smack.

Tony then gets smacked by the computer virus possessed people.

Hulk 26. Half page scan.

Rulk manages to convince Tony that he was, indeed, sent by Steve Rogers.

For the record, except for a few intensely stupid issues, I actually enjoyed Fall of the Hulks.

Have to say, I have minimal knowledge of the Red Hulk, and even less interest, but I'm unimpressed by Steve and Tony's complete failure to communicate, Tony drops a call from Steve? Really? Doesn't matter it's the start of a mission, end of a mission, or when you're having the best sex of your life... when STEVE ROGERS calls you, YOU PICK UP!

	People tend to develop poor hearing when it comes to beating the hell out of Rulk. I have to hand it to Marvel, they made Rulkie so wonderfully hateable that I can't help but love these comics where he's getting his ass kicked every issue.

	I admit, I've hated Ross since I first read the Hulk origin tradeback. He didn't have to turn into a Hulk for me to enjoy seeing him get his ass kicked all the time. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

Ross developed a lot as a character over the years. By the end of Peter David's run, he had actually come to accept and work with Banner/Hulk.

Then Betty died and set everything back. Even then, Ross was a complex character. The Loeb showed up and decided that everything should go back to the way it was in the 1970s even though he apparently hadn't actually read any comics from that era.

	Contextually, it's not that Tony deliberately dropped the call. It's that he's closing in on an area that's putting off heavy electromagnetic interference and it meant Steve's call didn't quite get through. He didn't actually hang up on Steve. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Well, I seem to notice in other things that Tony and Steve haven't exactly been getting along, even now. (for good reason, however. Tony did some awful things, even if he can't remember them now) (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
