Norman Osborn becomes the Infraggable Krunk

[flint_marko]

It's revealed in a flashback that Monica Rappaccini gave Norman the powers of the Super-Adaptoid.

In the present, Norman copies the powers of the Red Hulk and hulks out. He battles the Avengers until Quake causes an earthquake in the center of his heart.









Cap later says that Osborn is in a deep coma, his brain is fried, "and his body, well, he has no one to blame but himself."

There's also a mention of having the new Dark Avengers (who were defeated in New Avengers #23, which hasn't come out yet) joining the Thunderbolts Initiative, which is possibly connected to Thunderbolts being renamed Dark Avengers with #175.

On whose part, Ms Rappaccini or Marvel?

Ms. Rappaccini (whom I can only assume she's Misa to Norman's Light Yagami).

Marvel? Meh. This is no worse than when they were trying to turn Sabertooth into Marvel!Joker. Or making Norman the boss of everything in the first place.

Ah, mad scientist! That explains so much.

Well, she dated MODOK for a while, so clearly she's not the best judge of character.
