Bruce returns home from Counter-Earth only to have his shuttle blasted to atoms by Thunderbolt Ross. Ross sends the Hulkbusters out to capture the Hulk but they come home with the Abomination instead. In order to ensure that Betty continues to think the Hulk is dead, Ross makes a deal with Abomination, ensuring him a cure for his gamma irradiated condition and his freedom if he captures the jade giant. Abomination battles the Hulk but, realizing that Ross has deceived him, tells Hulk that Betty has married Glenn and they are honeymooning in Niagara Falls.
