Hulk is in Canada looking for some peace and quiet when he is mysteriously drawn to a cave inhabited by the sister of the man who became the Wendigo. Marie and Georges plan on transferring the power of the Wendigo to the Hulk, thus restoring Paul Cartier to his normal life. Marie's magic isn't strong enough, however, and just as Wendigo shows up, the Hulk wakes up from his magical slumber and the two battle. The Canadian government gets involved and sends in their own agent to take care of a recent Hulk sighting, the mutant known as Wolverine.
