The Hulk arrives on Jarella's world with the mental acuity of Bruce Banner. He finds the city of K'ai in ruins and discovers that Jarella has been captured by the treacherous Lord Visis. The Hulk rescues Jarella and leads her people in revolt. That is, until Visis teams up with master assassin Krylar who has a weapon that makes one battle one's darkest fears. The weapon is turned on the Hulk and Banner in Hulk's body finds himself facing his old brutish self. Jarella's magicians counter by ending the spell that makes the Hulk smart. Pym's serum wears off and the Hulk grows back to normal size.
