01x21 - The Wisdom of the Watcher

[bunniefuu]

Controlled by the Leader, the Hulk
is thought-transferred to a far galaxy

where he meets
the omniscient Watcher.

About to return with the ultimate
machine, desired by the Leader,

he encounters unexpected opposition.

I am bred for battle!

As you shall see!

The Hulk locks in mortal combat

with the lizard-skinned champion
of the galaxies,

while the Watcher
observes in grim silence.

I can smash anything on earth.

I must transfer
the combatants to another area

before they damage my equipment.

A gesture from the Watcher's hand,

the Hulk and his awesome foe
are frozen for a moment

and transported to a distant place
known only to the Watcher.

No matter where we fight,
the Hulk will win.

You shall die!

Nobody can k*ll the Hulk.

The champion hurls himself and his
opponent deep into the murky waters.

This is my chance.
I'll trap him in a giant clam.

He was too fast for me,
but I'll get him yet.

The beginning of the end!

Farewell, as you meet your doom!

Hulk must escape.

Leaving his defeated foe trapped,
the champion emerges.

Show yourself, Watcher!

I've come to claim my prize.

The ultimate machine!

Nobody beats the Hulk!

Then, before the startled, shaken
alien can even make a move...

As the Hulk hurls the champ
into the air,

the lizard-like creature, and the rock
to which he clings, vanishes.

What happened?
Where'd he go?

You convinced me
that you are the superior.

I sent the lizard being
back to his own planet

and you, I return to my presence.

I came here to get something.
Unless I bring it back,

I'll never be free of the Leader.

I shall not interfere
with your quest.

I shall simplify your task.

Complete it and be gone.

He thinks of something, it happens.

Now, select the one object
I shall indicate.

That radiant sphere.

I must obey,

but once this is done, I'll be free.

- My ultimate machine.
- Ah, success!

I'll bring you back to earth
immediately.

As the green-hued giant
streaks back through space,

another voice echoes in his brain.

The Leader thinks he has beaten me.
So be it.

The final gambit
has not yet been played.

That was the Watcher!

I've won!

Banner would give his eyeteeth
to know what this is.

Only I am fit to possess it
and now that it is mine,

your brute strength
is of no further use to me.

Within this sphere is recorded
all the knowledge of the universe.

My moment has come.

The ultimate machine
has the power to protect itself.

Meanwhile, it pours the accumulated
knowledge of 1,000 civilisations

from a million planets into my brain.

I've won!

No.

Not that. No more!

What's happened to him?
Something's wrong.

No. No more!

He's quiet.
He just stands there like a statue.

The Leader. He's dead.

- The Watcher.
- I come only to retrieve my sphere.

Thanks to its power,
the Leader is undone.

You recall I tried in vain to warn him.

I remember.

Now I return to my rightful place.

Ere I go,
I shall return you to yours.

Thus the Incredible Hulk
is finally returned to his cave,

free of the evil Leader,

but forever trapped
in a monster's body.
