“At the Mercy of Maximus the Mad”

In "At the Mercy of Maximus the Mad," the Hulk faces a desperate race against time when the Leader launches a missile at Russia, threatening global catastrophe. With the Super Humanoid's indestructible form slowing him down, the Hulk must rely on his human intellect—transforming back into Bruce Banner—to deploy an experimental hunter missile and stop the first attack. But when the Leader presses the button again, it's the Hulk himself who must rise to defend the world, in a story written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with cover art by Herb Trimpe.

The Leader pushes the button, firing a missile at Russia as he tries to touch off World War III. The Hulk has to battle the Super Humanoid in time to get back and stop the missile from striking its target but he takes too long beating the indestructible plastic monster. Willing himself to turn back into Banner, the brilliant scientist uses an experimental hunter missile to knock down the first one. So the Leader pushes the button again and this time it is the Hulk who comes to the rescue.
