When Bruce accidentally nullifies one of the stone combatants, the Hulk is left to fight the Colossus on his own.

In the improper use of a character's abilities category: Havok uses his powers in this story to shoot a thin plasma beam at the Hulk's head and use the pain it causes to make the Hulk susceptible to suggestion and he also uses a plasma beam to lower Lorna from the top of a tall cliff to the ground.

Hulkbusters; Spiro Agnew
After his rampage in Washington D.C., the president sends Nick Fury and Captain America to help Ross capture the Hulk. They are successful and transport Bruce to New York to stand trial. During the plane ride, Bruce's lawyer, Matt Murdock, finds him so heavily sedated that he is only able to wallow in guilt and prepare for death. Matt invokes Bruce's civil rights and demands that Ross give him a stimulant so he can talk to his client coherently. Ross reluctantly complies, and Bruce quickly turns into the Hulk. Hulk bursts from the plane to find the Fantastic Four waiting for him on the tarmac.

Trimpe redrew many of the Hulk faces throughout the issue, the caricatures of President Richard Nixon and Vice-President Spiro Agnew, and the Daredevil and Black Widow figures on page 12. Other artists who likely assisted include John Verpoorten, John Romita and Mike Esposito.

On a runway at JFK airport, Mr. Fantastic brings the Hulk down with his newly devised Nega-Gamma Gun. The Hulk is placed in heavy restraints and is put on trial for his crimes. After testimony in the case, both pro and con, Matt pulls a stunt out of his lawyer's bag of tricks and quickly proves that the Hulk is too mentally incompetent to stand trial. As the judge tries to figure out how to proceed, Reed shows up with his special gun and claims it will change the Hulk into Bruce Banner for good. Instead, it provides the Hulk with the strength to break free and escape.

Reed's seeming act of mercy toward the Hulk at the end of the story turns out to be a sham as the last four panels depict the Hulk weakening and crashing into a building which covers him in rubble. This seems to indicate that Reed knew the Hulk would get a sudden burst of strength followed by debilitating weakness. The captions go even further and insinuate that Reed may have actually been trying to kill the Hulk. Regardless, the Hulk is up again next issue with nothing more than a scant reference to this incident.

In order to stop the Hulk, the Shaper turns Kronsteig into the powerful Captain Axis, but Hulk still beats him. The Shaper decides to fulfill the Hulk's own dream and sends him to Jarella's world.
