Marvel Origins #67
In "Und dann kommt er ... Stranger!", the Hulk, barely clinging to life after a brutal clash with Abomination, is persuaded by the desperate Jo to transform back into Bruce Banner. With Betty Ross in peril, Banner devises a plan to lure Abomination to the Gamma Base, setting the stage for a final confrontation. But as the battle reignites, an enigmatic figure from beyond the stars—The Stranger—intervenes, observing with cold calculation and making a choice that alters everything. Written by Stan Lee and Michael Strittmatter, with powerful art by Gil Kane and inks by Gil Kane, this issue delivers a haunting, pivotal moment in the saga. The cover, also by Gil Kane, captures the Stranger’s arrival in stark, unforgettable detail.
When the Stranger arrives on Earth and reprograms the Hulk into a weapon of mass destruction, chaos erupts across the battlefield. As Betty pleads with her father, General Ross, to see reason, Ross doubles down on his mission to destroy the Hulk—unaware of the true force behind the monster’s rampage. Meanwhile, Major Talbot’s rage grows hotter, twisted by jealousy and a desperate need to prove himself.
In "Abomination!", the Hulk's rage spirals out of control after the Stranger's sudden departure leaves him unchecked. When Bruce Banner returns to the Gamma Base seeking to end his own suffering, he's stopped just in time—only for a foreign spy to hijack the very device meant to end the rampage. Now transformed into a far more dangerous Abomination, the new monster unleashes chaos and vanishes with Betty, leaving Banner to face the consequences.
In "Der Hulk schlägt zurück!", the Hulk, barely alive after a brutal defeat at the hands of Abomination, faces a choice: walk away or answer Rick Jones’s desperate plea to reclaim his humanity. As Banner uses his intellect to lure Abomination back to the Gamma Base, the two titans clash once more—until the Stranger from beyond the stars intervenes, taking Abomination with a mysterious beam and leaving the fate of the battle—and the Hulk’s future—uncertain.
In "Wendepunkt!", Betty mourns Bruce as he grapples with his fate, transforming into the Hulk in a desperate, wall-shattering escape. Outside, the enraged giant leaps onto what he believes is a flying saucer—only to crash into the Silver Surfer, setting off a collision of cosmic proportions.
In "Die Macht von Silver Surfer!" from Marvel Origins #67 (2026), Hulk’s rage leads him to confront the Silver Surfer, only to be swiftly overpowered. The Surfer, intrigued by the damage caused by gamma radiation, attempts to heal Hulk—only for the enraged Hulk to strike out, mistaking the gesture as an attack. Left disillusioned, the Surfer departs, leaving Hulk vowing to track him down and force him into the cosmos.
In "Lockruf der Sterne!" from Marvel Origins #67, the High Evolutionary faces a dire threat on Wundagore II as his New Men revert to their primal instincts and turn on him.

In "Die Welt von High Evolutionary!" from Marvel Origins #67 (2026), the Hulk’s transformation into the frail Bruce Banner takes a shocking turn when he’s brought to the high-tech domain of Wundagore II. There, the High Evolutionary, desperate to combat his monstrous New Men, is initially disappointed by Banner’s unassuming form—yet still sees potential, deciding to reshape him into what evolution might have made of him in a million years.
In "Was habe ich erschaffen?", Bruce Banner faces a terrifying transformation at the hands of the High Evolutionary, only to be interrupted by the very creatures he once helped create—the New Men. As the Hulk emerges in a furious clash, the dying Evolutionary makes a desperate choice: to sacrifice himself to his own machine, becoming something beyond comprehension and undoing his experiments in one final act. The story closes with the Hulk returned to Earth, his mind wiped clean of the ordeal.
In "Die Legionen von Living Lightning," the Hulk rescues a downed pilot only to be captured by the radical militia known as Living Lightning, who subject him to a brutal mind-control experiment. As his rage begins to stir beneath the imposed silence, the Hulk sets his sights on destroying the nearby military base—his path to freedom or oblivion still unknown.
In "Die Marionette und die Macht!", Hulk is manipulated into attacking his old enemy General Ross, only to be subdued by gas and imprisoned alongside Betty Ross.
