Even though the Hulk has just killed him, Glorian promises the Shaper of Worlds that he will bring nobility to the gray monster. Glorian returns to life, much to the surprise of Marlo and emergency workers, and he is contacted by Nick Cloot, who claims to be able to help make Hulk a happier person. Thinking that this is a test by the Shaper of Worlds, Glorian signs a contract in blood agreeing to accept Cloot's help. With his relationships on the rocks and the problem of Banner bugging him, Hulk wanders around Las Vegas looking for the best fight available.
