Banished to Outer Space

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Hulk [Bruce Banner]; Rick Jones; General Thunderbolt Ross
First Line: In a cement-walled chamber beneath the sea, the most incredible creature on earth pounds vainly against the walls of his prison...
Synopsis: The military captures Rick and Ross convinces him that they need the Hulk to test a new experimental rocket for national security. Rick tricks the jade giant into the capsule but once it is shot into space, he realizes that Ross deceived him to get rid of his foe. Rick overrides the programming and returns the rocket to earth but not before Banner (he transformed back to his human form when the rocket came into view of the sun) is doused with further radiation. The Hulk is now unable to revert to his human form and is under Rick's control but only while Rick remains awake.
