01x16 - Brawn Against Brain

[bunniefuu]

In a hidden cave beneath
the burning sands of the desert,

we find the Incredible Hulk

about to go into
one of his fantastic body transitions.

No, not again. Don't let it happen
again. I don't want to change.

I want to remain as I am.
I want to be the Hulk.

I want... It's too late.

It's over.

The Hulk is gone. Am I really Bruce
Banner or is the Hulk my true self?

At a nearby air force base,
General Ross is laying the law down

to his daughter, Betty.

I'll tell you why Bruce Banner
has disappeared.

He knows the robot he built is a flop.

Dad, I can't believe that of Bruce.

Look, Dad, it's Bruce!
I told you he'd return.

Where in Sam Hill have you been?

I was all set to test that
infernal robot of yours without you.

It looks like they are all set
for the robot test.

Later, as Bruce Banner
works on his robot,

his mind is in a turmoil.

This will be the most indestructible
machine on earth.

Inside of it, a man will be able
to walk through an atomic expl*si*n.

If only I can finish it
before I become the Hulk again.

- The General.
- The test time has been moved up.

Have that contraption ready
at 0800 hours tomorrow morning.

Yes, sir, I understand.
It'll be ready.

What's that noise?
There's someone in the hall outside.

But who?
Could it be a spy?

Stop! Come back here.
You won't get away.

I've allowed myself
to become tense, excited.

It's causing another
chemical reaction within me.

Too... Too late.

Can't resist any more.

And why should I want to be the weak,
powerless Bruce Banner

when I can be
the invincible Hulk instead?

I've got to get away, out where
there is room to flex my muscles,

to plan my next attack.

Meanwhile, the unknown man
Bruce Banner has been chasing

returns to the huge robot

having overpowered
an unsuspecting watchman.

Banner himself
was supposed to test this robot.

But he disappeared.

Well, Banner's on time for once.
Let's get the test started.

We found this man.
He's been knocked unconscious.

It must've been Dr Banner who did it.

He was the only one in the building.

Banner attacked you? Quick,
give the order to stop the test.

Dad, it's too late. The robot
is already in the test area.

Dispatch that remote-controlled
tank to stop the robot.

Banner built this device well.
What a weapon.

I can sell this
to any foreign country.

Now I'll find out how good it is
on the attack.

I destroyed the unmanned tank
with one blow of the robot's arm.

We've lost contact with the drone tank.
The robot destroyed it.

Alert all units.
The robot must be stopped.

As long as I remain inside the robot,
nothing can harm me.

A short distance away, baleful eyes
watch the lumbering metal monster.

It looks familiar.
Now I know.

Banner built it.
Must've built it to defeat me.

The Hulk charging toward me.

This will be the greatest test.

If I can survive an attack
by the Hulk...

His fists are powerless.

Now I'll finish you
as only the Hulk can.

It still stands...

For the first time, the Hulk faces
a foe he cannot smash by brute force.

Confused and enraged,
the green-tinted titan goes berserk,

causing his dramatic transformation
to begin again.

Everything is spinning round.

I'm changing again.

I have to get away before it happens.

Mustn't let the robot see me change.

Now it's my turn, Hulk.

I've got to roll away
before the change happens.

I've beaten the Hulk.

It's Dr Banner. He's still alive.
Better call the General.

So there you are.
What happened to the robot?

I don't know where the robot is.
I wasn't in it.

- Don't lie to me, boy.
- Dad, can't you see he isn't well?

What? Yes, I understand, sir.
I'll tell the General.

Sir, Banner is telling the truth.

The robot has been sighted
in the desert.

Order a pursuit.
On the double.

- Bruce, you're in the clear.
- Am I? I wonder.

Will the robot Bruce Banner built
to protect the human race

now become a menace to mankind?
