Bruce Banner is in steel shackles in a Stark lab. Bruce talks like the Hulk but looks like Bruce Banner. Tony calls the Gamma Base, and they tell Tony that the Hulk is a separate part of Banner's psyche. They treated Bruce's physical metabolism but not his mental division. As S.W.A.T. teams mill about outside, Tony calls the Stark Practical Research lab. Tony invented a Electrosthetic Conductor in the form of head phones that will calm Bruce (the raging Hulk)'s mind. It was developed for hospital patients that help extreme allergies to anesthesia. It works and Bruce's mind is back. But, slowly Bruce is getting bigger and a little greener. Tony finds that the nuclear powered disc is being accelerated by Hulk's own Gamma Radiation. Iron Man heads to find out what the alarm is. Hulk smashes Iron Man and the police and security team. Iron Man leads Hulk to the water, but he escapes. They go at it by throwing a vehicle/jet. The explosion temporarily stuns the Hulk. Iron Man puts all output into one single punch and knocks out the Hulk. Iron Man's armor completely fused and as a shell falls having defeated the Hulk
