Hulk drags a Russian war ship to the ocean floor. As he is trying to make his way home from Latveria, he ends up in the Sahara desert and stumbles upon a movie set. The director gets the idea to put the Hulk in his film but is thwarted when the Hulk transforms into puny Banner. Bruce gets abducted by aliens who have arrived to witness a gladiatorial contest. When Bruce accidentally nullifies one of the stone combatants, the Hulk is left to fight the Colossus on his own. Meanwhile, back at Gamma Base, Ross unveils his plans for a military instillation designed to take down the Hulk.
