Synopsis

"The Destroyer from the Dynamo!" - Drawn by residual magical emanations from Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, the Hulk manages to find his way back to New York City. Confused as ever before, the Hulk decides to find his comrade in the Defenders but stops to rest and think about what to do if Strange is not around. Sleeping, the Hulk changes back into Bruce Banner.  Elsewhere a group of terrorists attempting to disrupt the government plant a bomb at the local nuclear power plant. Things go awry however when their bomb causes the energy in the atomic pile to gain sentience and start consuming everything in its path. This sentient energy takes on a human form and dubs itself Zzzax before going on a rampage, consuming all the humans it encounters... with a sleeping Bruce Banner directly in its path!
