01x23 - Sting of the Wasp

[bunniefuu]

Tension among themselves brings
the Avengers close to break-up,

due to the evil scheme
of the sinister Space Phantom,

who has sent our hero to limbo,

and has taken over
the Hulk's body himself.

Now for phase two.

I must learn all I can about these
humans before I conquer them.

There's the one
whose identity I first took.

I'd better interrupt them before
someone suspects the truth.

I've been waiting for you, Hulk.
You're losing control.

I better get you back
to your secret lab.

This human knows the Hulk.
I must be careful.

Remember me?
I'm the best friend you've got.

It looks like you're in trouble again.

Jump, before the police arrive. Hurry.

Jump? So that's how the Hulk flies.

Well, while I have his body,
I can do what he can.

Hulk, you're heading
in the wrong direction.

I don't get you, Hulk.

You aren't yourself.

- Look out.
- Human fool.

I am not the Hulk.
I am the Space Phantom.

I shall bring the real Hulk back...

..as I turn into my true self.

Holy smoke.

I am simply demonstrating
that the most powerful being on earth

is putty before the power
of the Space Phantom.

Don't go, Hulk. Come back.

He shall return
when it suits my purpose.

Now, to finish off the Avengers.

He's gone.

Nearby, at Anthony Stark's factory...

..a m*ssile g*n
is being readied for test firing.

I might as well wreck Stark's
new device while I'm at it.

I managed to set it off.

Good. Any damage to human weapons
will benefit me.

While recharging
his transistor heart activator,

Anthony Stark is interrupted
by an urgent call.

What? The Hulk stole my m*ssile g*n?

I will become Iron Man immediately.
He'll get to the bottom of it.

What can the Hulk be up to?

He hasn't been acting himself lately,
that's for sure.

Well, there is only one way
to find out.

Unidentified flying object
at three o'clock.

I think I can guess who it is.

Iron Man. And reacting
just as I suspected he would.

I knew we shouldn't have taken you
into the Avengers. Now I'm sure of it.

How easy for the Space Phantom
to sow the seeds of hate and distrust.

Even the Hulk does not possess
armoured, electrical power.

He's too dangerous.
I've got to escape.

I don't understand.

That electric charge wasn't strong
enough to make him flee in panic.

Meanwhile, as the Space Phantom
instantaneously disappears,

he transforms himself
into a tiny wasp.

And the real Hulk returns from limbo.

But so swift has the change been
that Iron Man is unaware of it

and believes
he is still fighting the same foe.

I've got to find some way
to put him out of action.

Meanwhile Rick rushes
to his transmitter.

Calling Giant Man.
Do you read me, Giant Man?

An alien called the Space Phantom
is impersonating the Hulk.

Need your help badly.
Over to you.

Sounds serious, Wasp. Let's go.

He called Giant Man not Ant Man, so
it must a be a top-priority emergency.

While you double your size,
I'll become wasp-sized.

Here goes nothing.

Henry Pym, did anyone ever tell you
that you have deliciously blue eyes?

Be serious, little one.

I have a feeling we have a strange
and difficult task ahead of us.

Jumping out of the way won't help you.
Wait till my next swing.

The Hulk runs from nothing.
I'll crush you like a flea.

Hold it. Take it easy, little fella.

Giant Man.
Let go, you oversized clown.

Stay out of this, you hear?

Big as you are, I can still...

Listen to me, both of you,
this is insane!

We're supposed to be allies.

What's happening to us?

You're right.
We're making fools of ourselves.

Giant Man, be careful.
I sense an evil presence here.

You got off lucky that time, mister,

but if you ever cross me again...

Quiet, you muscle-bound fool.
Didn't you hear the Wasp?

- She senses trouble.
- Giant Man's partner.

- What a stroke of luck for me.
- A wasp!

Attacking me! Impossible!

Is the tiny Wasp to be the next
victim of the sinister Space Phantom?
