01x26 - The Master Tests His Metal

[bunniefuu]

Only as the Hulk can Bruce Banner
face the Metal Master.

But the gamma ray machine
makes the change incomplete.

So wearing a mask he attacks his foe,

only to be met
by tons of flying steel.

The colossal contest
continues unabated.

You are more powerful than I thought.

Nothing, nobody, can stop the Hulk.

A quickly formed metal cage
will hold you.

Mighty metal objects keep reforming
as fast as the Hulk can shatter them.

Wait. This is folly.

With my mastery of metal
and your brute strength,

we should be allies.

The Hulk needs no allies.

But we two could rule the universe.

You mean no one would hunt me again?

No one would hound the Hulk?

No longer would you be treated
like a wild beast, like a monster.

Sure. Why should I worry
about the human race?

Catching the Hulk off guard, the
Metal Master strikes a cowardly blow.

The brute believed me.
Thus I have vanquished him.

Hey, you guys, it's the Hulk,
and out cold. He's wearing a mask.

Let's see what's underneath.
Now we'll know who he really is.

No.

This is crazy.
His real face is just the same.

- Sir, they've caught the Hulk.
- At last.

With him out of the way, we can
concentrate on the Metal Master.

A few seconds, he'll be inside
this Hulk-proof building.

That's it. The Hulk is a prisoner,
now and forever.

No. Only the Hulk can stop
the Metal Master.

- You can't imprison him.
- I'm in command here.

He stays where he is.

Hey, it's me, Rick.
Are you OK?

You betrayed me.

You told about the mask.

But my real face came back
just in time.

No, Hulk. I didn't tell. I didn't.

You're lying. I'll get out of here,
and when I do,

I'll have my revenge on everybody.

Slowly the wall begins to crumble
under the merciless pounding

of the superhuman fists.

General Ross, how do I enlist?

- 16 is too young, son. Forget it.
- But I want action.

Look, if you really wanna serve
your country, stay in school.

America needs trained, educated men.

OK, General.
I get the message.

Behold, I am the Metal Master.

So much for your oil wells.

Nothing can defy my matchless power.

I have wrecked shipping, melted
buildings and destroyed bridges.

Soon every human on Earth will
tremble at the name the Metal Master.

A thoroughly disheartened
teenager broods.

With the whole world in trouble,
he hands me education.

Once a guy's been the Hulk's partner,
he's different, that's all.

Meanwhile, the Incredible Hulk
continues to pound

and pound and pound, until...

I'm free.

Must return to the lab.

Only one way
to beat the Metal Master.

Must become Banner again.

Strange that
we still haven't located Banner.

Dad, Bruce means so much to me.
Please find him.

General, the Hulk, he's escaped.

No. It can't be.
It just can't.

What if the Hulk's
somehow captured Bruce?

First Banner is missing, then
that blasted Metal Master shows up

and now the Hulk's
on the loose again.

It's too much.
We have to find Banner.

He's got to come up with an answer.

Back in the lab, the Hulk once more
bathes in the mysterious gamma rays

until he becomes the world's greatest
atomic scientist again.

I'm so weak, so dizzy.

Can't black out now.
Earth in danger.

Must beat Metal Master.

Rick, help.

Doc., you're in bad shape.
What happened?

My gamma ray, I'm using it too often.

Dangerous. I can't take it.

Loyal Rick,
always here when I need you.

Come on, Doc,
you should be in a hospital.

No time. I can beat the Metal Master
but need help.

Doc., wait a sec.
My Teen Brigade.

- That's the answer.
- That club you belong to.

Rick explains how the Teen Brigade
can help the desperate scientist.

Fine.

Now here's a list of the equipment
Dr Banner needs. It's all up to us.

- Then what are we waiting for?
- Let's go.

- We've got a job to do.
- Gangway.

- We'll pulverise the Metal Master.
- Those wonderful kids.

I wish I were as confident as they.

Can the Teen Brigade
and one lone scientist

stop the Metal Master?
