Synopsis for "The Stage is Set!"

A terrorist organization known as the Secret Empire has hired Fred Myers, aka the Boomerang to steal the Orion Missile, hoping to avoid confrontation with the Hulk. While deep below the Earth's surface, Bruce Banner tries to find his way out of the underground world. Running into the aged Tyrannus, Banner manages to coerce the old man into revealing that his matter transferral device will get him back to the surface. Banner heads towards the device, but has to wade through the combating forces of Tyrannus and the Mole Man.
Meanwhile Rick, Betty and Glenn manage to make it to the surface where they are attacked by Boomerang who kidnaps Betty in hopes of using her to get the Orion Missile as ransom. Back underground, Banner is forced to become the Hulk in order to fight his way through the battling armies, and succeeds in making it to the lab of Tyrannus. Although the Hulk hates machines and begins to smash his way through the various devices, the Hulk manages to find the matter transferral device and activate it to return him to the surface... This story is continued next issue.
