01x08 - It Lives! It Grows! It Destroys!

[bunniefuu]

Hi g*ng, this is Stan Lee. I don't know

about you, but give me a mad scientist

story any day, and this one's a doozy.

We start in the strange laboratory of Dr.

Proto, who's creating a brand new

form of life.

The only problem is, he doesn't know how

deadly it'll be.

Stop!

I don't see any change of color. Are you

sure you're up to full power?Well, not

full power, but... What?! Well, Dr.

Proto, if we go to full power, we drain

away current from Dr. Banner's experiment

next door, and... Bruce Banner! We're

creating a whole new life form while that

fool plays around with gamma rays! But,

sir, he's testing the gammatron today. If

that machine is underHoward, there's a

danger that... Stop! Stand by to trigger

another charge! Full power this time!

Hang Bruce Banner! Stand by, Bruce.

Standing by. Ready. We've got peak

voltage. Good. The slightest power dip

now and bye-bye, Gammatron. No danger of

that. George promised to keep Dr. Proto's

power down to normal levels today. Okay

then, let's go. Good luck,

Doctor. Three, two,

one, fire! Fire!

Switch off, quick!

Dr. Frodo, fire alarm next door from

Banner's lab. Really?How

appropriate. Bells ring to celebrate the

greatest event in human history. My

creation of a new form of life.

Call General Ross.

Scientific history, gentlemen. That's

what you're witnessing. An organism with

incredible power. Part plant, part

animal. Looks like plain yellow telly to

me. Does it?May I borrow your

oak leaf, Major?What?What are you doing?

It's tarnished, Major. Let my life form

clean it for you. Look at

that. The organism is seeking out the

metal. Exactly, General. It senses

it. Now watch.

Hey! The organisms are dissolving the

metal! No, Major. It's eating

it. But... But that's government

property. No!Touch it, Major, and

your new nickname will be Lefty.

Great Scott! You mean... I mean that

organism can eat anything and everything

on Earth! Uh,

I'm hungry. Well, get the truffles from

Dr. Proto, and you'll be the first to

taste my new truffle burger. I hate to

mess with that creep, Proto. But he grows

those expensive little mushrooms, so

Bamoose... and work up an

appetite.

Dr. Proto, you tapped my power supply at

the crucial... This laboratory's

off-limits to you, Banner. Dad, Ned,

what are you doing here?Come in, Betty.

You too, Banner. close the door. General

Ross, I must protest this. You protest?

You insensitive inhuman fool. You

deliberately drain our power. You

nearly blow us up. You ruin months of

work. And it was all worth it

for this. You

did it?A new life form?

Look. Part of a wooden

ruler, a leather belt, a

hunk of stone. All being eaten away.

What stops it?Now, now, I'm sure Dr.

Proto has a control. Obviously, it can't

eat through, let me guess, silicon

glass. Good, Banner, yes.

Silicon glass, my own formula.

There, you see, nothing to worry about. I

pray you're right.

Dr. Proto, we can't leave this new life

form unguarded. I'm prepared, General.

Any intruder who tries to break in will

get a most unpleasant surprise.

Good. Good night, Betty.

Bruce, I'm worried. Yeah, so am I.

When your father gets home, talk to him

about how dangerous those life forms can

be. I'm going to do some more checking.

Banner and Betty better not waste a

minute. Inside Proto's lab, the yellow

slime is growing faster than anyone can

suspect.

Dr. Proto?George?

What the...

Take this truffle back to... Intruder

alarm! Someone's in the lab!

Security, Sector 5, red alert! Repeat,

red alert! Got to get out of

this thing! Was I

right to worry?

It's loose and growing fast!

Got to get out! I've got to contain

them! I've got to find silicon

glass...

No!

No All right, freeze!Hey, it's it's the

the Hulk! Use your laser!

I'll get the fire! Look out!

The organism! It's free! The

Hulk must have smashed the siliconeblast!

The Hulk!

Look how fast it grows. Well, don't

just stand there, Doctor. Do something.

There's nothing he can do. There's

nothing anybody can do. All

press now.

The creature who was the Hulk may have

rested, but in the lab of Dr. Proto,

there's no time for rest. That yellow

slime is heading for us, Dr. Proto. Do

something. Contain it! I'm sure

I'll find something that-- Dad, there's

no way to contain it. It's growing too

fast. There's no silicone glass container

big enough to hold it now. But it's

eating everything.

Glass! Wood! Steel!

Cement! Dr. Proto, where will it stop?I'm

afraid it will stop at nothing.

Step on it, Rick. The last thing I

remember seeing is Dr. Proto's life forms

spreading all over the floor, dissolving

everything, including the floor.

Well?No good. This silicon spray

isn't working. What do we do now,

Doctor?Well, I I have to think, General.

Maybe I can help.

Bruce, Rick, am I glad to see

you. Hi, Betty. Dr. Proto,

what's your organism made of?You know

better than to ask that, Banner. It's a

scientific secret. Not anymore, it isn't.

It's too late for that. It's a military

secret, too. Tell him, Doctor. That's an

order. Well, the organism is

heart truffle.

Truffle, so that's why he grows them.

That's a form of mushroom, a fungus. I

wonder if a fungicide would... That might

k*ll it, Banner. I hope so. Give me a

hand, Rick.

This is weed k*ller, Doc.

Right, attacks fungus too.

Let's hope this works. Ohh

It's eating the fungicide! It likes it!

General, let's get a flamethrower up

here. Yes, we'll cook 'em!

It seems to be working. Good. Then

there's no need to cook the whole thing.

Let's wipe out most of it and save just

enough for a... No, look!

It's flowing again! Incredible! The

protoplasm is regenerating itself,

renewing the entire organism. We tried

the vegetable half, why not go after the

animal protoplasm?That makes sense.

George, prepare to split each nucleus.

What?But that could make the protoplasm

grow faster, more than twice as fast. Or

just the opposite. Too risky, Proto. Use

an electrical charge. Well, maybe

you're right, Betty. Betty, we'll meet

you later in the Alpha Chamber. I'll

unlock the electrical control room.

Good. Rick?

Controls are off to the right.

Hey, what the?He's locked us in.

Did you find the controls, Banner?What's

the idea, Proto?The idea, Banner,

is that I'll do things my way. Ta-ta!

And so, with no one to stop it, the

Power Man Doctor dares to activate his

fateful machine. Let us out! Let us

out! Somebody let us out! You're wasting

your breath, Doc. They can't hear us.

We've got to get out, Rick. We've got to

stop that slime. We've got to...

to.. Oh ohh no! We

need your brains, Doc!Fight it!

Alas, even though it's Bruce Banner's

intelligence that's needed the most, the

anguished scientist is unable to halt

his transformation into a creature of

pure, unbridled power.

Ohh

oh

Everybody, on the double! Get outside!

That's only the beginning. They'll eat

their way clear to the center of the

earth and still keep going. Sir, the

slime has reached the earthquake vault

under the base. Betty, where are you

going?To warn the civil evacuation

center. No! You'll start a panic!

You'll...

The Hulk! He's after

Betty! He's as dangerous as that yellow

slime!

He's got to be stuck! Where's the

airborne?Coming, General! This is Major

Talbot to Chopper One! This is Chopper

One! Give the hope, Chopper One! Roger!

That should do it!

Miss Ross.

Ohh

There's an opening over there! Oh!

They stripped by the slime!

Ohh Look!My new life form has

accomplished something the entire U.S.

Army can't do. It's

destroying the Hulk!

There goes the gas pipeline.

And there goes the water supply for the

whole town. And that's the

start of an earthquake! It's finally

happened. For the first time in his life,

the Hulk faces danger that can't be

defeated by Groot's strength alone. If he

can't even help himself, what can he

do to save Rick and Betty?Rick,

I'm all out of ideas. And I'm running out

of Hulk. It's

the Hulk! Hulk!

Hulk, we're over here! Hulk, over

here! Rick needs Hulk!

Hulk! Jump us out of here! Rick,

look! HuhLook at the slime!

Hey, it seems to be...

Hulk!This is important. It

seemed a second ago, the slime actually

moved back when you came near it. Oh,

not understand. Must go.

Wait! Please, don't go! Come back!

Dad, Dad! Did you warn the civil

evacuation center?No, Rick and I were

trapped by the slime. What?But never

mind. Rick and I saw something about the

Hulk that repels the light form. Must be

the gamma rays in my blood. General Ross.

Banner! I'll deal with you later.

General, I can overcome the slime with

the Gammatron. Bombard them with gamma

rays?No! You can't destroy themcompletely!

That's another earthquake tremor. Dad,

let Bruce do it before they destroy us.

Permission granted, Banner. I've no other

choice. But you can't!

Let's go, Betty.

The other door!

The Gammatron's so badly damaged, it

might not work. We've got to try.

Activate the console.

So far, so good. Okay, here comes the big

test. Stand by! It's going to be a major

quake!

Back the way we came, Betty. What about

you?I'll be right behind you. Hurry!

No sense putting Betty in danger. Got to

rewire the Gammatron. Got to move fast

or... But nobody could

move fast enough to save himself from the

Satin ray blast of the mighty Gamatron.

A blast that bombards a hero with the

amazing gamma rays that transform him

into the Incredible Hulk.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Folks, stop yellow mud! Ah

Bruce said he'd come right behind me. He

must be trapped in there. Dr. Frodo,

look. Yellow vapor coming from Banner's

laboratory. It is vapor. The slime is

dissolving. I'm going in to get Doc. No,

wait. Look!

Shall I open fire on him again, General?

No, you simp. Look!

He's doing what we've been trying to do.

The Hulk must radiate gamma energy.

It must be the one thing that destroys

the slime.

he goes down into the crevice, he might

dissolve the slime. And then it stopped

the earthquake.

I... I think it stopped.

Yellow mud gone!

Thank heavens the slime was repelled by

the Hulk. Yes, but look at the

devastation he started in the first

place. No, he didn't. This is the silicon

stopper that was supposed to cover the

life form. Someone forgot to put it on.

You mean... Yes, the Hulk is innocent.

You're the guilty one, Frodo, guilty of

incompetence. Guilty of blind ambition

and greed. No, no Yes,

guilty of arrogance, of putting your

stupid desire for glory above the rights

and needs of humanity. You're the guilty

one, Proto, and you'll have to live with

that for the rest of your life.

Proto packed up and left. If he learns

from his mistakes, he'll turn out to be a

pretty good scientist. Doc, the yellow

slime! It's still alive! Cool it,

Rick. I stopped up the road and had a hot

dog. That's mustard.

For the moment, Bruce Banner seems free

of care, but only for the moment.
