Description
Hulk is in San Diego, fighting the army, until he gets bored and climbs down a manhole to escape. He arrives at the docks, where he climbs into a ship, where he can finally get some rest. Meanwhile, Ralph Roberts, the ship's owner, is in a fight with his brother Ted. Ted wants to come along, but Ralph won't let him, and eventually knocks him down, and tells his driver to take him to a hotel. Ted, however, is persistent, and escaped from Ralph's limo, before sneaking back down to the docks and getting on the ship. He meets Bruce (who has reverted), and hangs out with him for the ride. But one night, Bruce has a nightmare (about Hulk), and wakes up screaming. Obviously, the crew hear this, and the two are discovered. Well, Ted is Ralph's brother, and Ralph recognizes Bruce, so things work out pretty well. Ralph tells the two of his career as the Cobalt Man, a super- villain with an armor loosely based on Iron Man's. Anyway, Ralph is now ready to become Cobalt Man again, as the ship enters an area surrounding an H-bomb test. The ship enters the area, and everybody prepares for what is about to happen. The sailors hide under deck, shielded by a radiation shield, while Ralph is standing on deck, ready for impact. But he's not wearing his armor? Ted runs over to stop him, but Bruce, remembering the Rick Jones-incident, stops the man, and lies on top of him, shielding him with his own body. The bomb hits it's target, sending shockwaves against the ship and the three unshielded men on it. Everybody survived though. Ralph is taken under deck, where a doctor takes a look at him. And then the unexpected happens. Ralph's skin suddenly turns blue, and he gains super powers, which was his plan all along. Ralph gets back in his Cobalt Man armor, and attacks his own crew. Banner turns into Hulk and attacks Ralph, who turns out to be pretty strong, as he throws the green giant onto, and through, the top of the ship, before jumping after. Another battle starts, where Hulk hits Cobalt Man in the face, and lifts him over his head. But then, he suddenly starts reverting. That doesn't please him too much, so he throws Cobalt Man through the floor. Into the water. Making a hole. The ship starts sinking, and Bruce has just fainted after reverting.
