He changes back into Bruce Banner, where he is found by the hijackers and taken with the rest. When an old woman he was riding with tries to stand up to the hijackers she is killed in cold blood.

Continuity Notes

  • One of the stops on Banner's flight is identified as being in West Germany. Since the Cold War is long over this should be considered a topical reference relative to the date of publication per the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616.
