Having returned from the Microverse, the Hulk just barely recalls his reunion with Jarella and its abrupt ending and struggles to understand why he is so sad. His return has not gone unnoticed, as there is a space station piloted by some being that is very interested in what the Hulk is up to and begins initiating a plan of attack. Meanwhile, at Project Greenskin, Betty Ross and Glenn Talbot begin rehearsing their wedding, with General Ross hoping that Glenn has better luck with Betty than Bruce Banner did. Jim Wilson is also in the audience; however, he feels like a traitor to Bruce by participating in Betty and Glenn's wedding and decides to cut out and hitches a ride with the next craft out of the base, destination: New Jersey. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, the comatose body of the Rhino suddenly comes to life and he smashes his way out of the mental hospital he has been left in since his last defeat at the hands of the Hulk. The comatose body is drawn to a ship and is carried out to the space station high above Earth. As it turns out, the space station is named Omnivac and is controlled by the Leader, who is now physically paralyzed following his last encounter with the Hulk. Hoping to get revenge against the Hulk once more, the Leader uses his mind to take full control of the Rhino's body, has him don a new Rhino suit and sends him out to destroy the Hulk. The Hulk, meanwhile, has let his grief give into anger and he starts to go on a rampage through the area. His tantrum causes a traffic jam on the highway into Newark, New Jersey. Hitching a ride into the area, Jim Wilson spots the Hulk and manages to calm him down and stop his rampage long enough to get him to cover at an oil refinery. There, the Hulk calms down enough to revert back into Bruce Banner. Jim tells Bruce the bad news about Betty and Glenn's upcoming wedding. Although Bruce accepts the reality, he cannot help but feel a sense of loss, blames the Hulk for messing up his opportunities with Betty and struggles to maintain control of his temper. They are then interrupted by the Leader-controlled Rhino, who taunts Bruce and tells him that he intends on crashing Betty and Glenn's wedding. Bruce, not wanting to ruin the wedding by showing up as the Hulk, tries to resist the urge to change into the Hulk. The last straw is when Jim attempts to stop the Rhino and is swatted aside, then Bruce allows himself to change into the Hulk. The two clash and the Leader's superior mind controlling the Rhino's body appears to grant him the upper hand. Battering the Hulk aside, the Leader-controlled Rhino boards his ship with the intent of crashing Betty and Glenn's wedding. The Hulk is about to leap after him when Jim warns him not to follow; however, the Hulk does not listen and leaps after the ship anyway. Jim has no other choice but to call General Ross at Project Greenskin and warn him of the Hulk's approach. Although this greatly upsets Ross, he hides the truth when Betty comes to express her excitement of the coming wedding.
