David 'Benton' travels to Hawaii to meet Dr. Carolyn Fields, a psychologist whose technique might help control the Hulk. However, Dr. Fields is in the terminal stages of a disease that the Hulk could help cure.

As the people of Antowuk resort community take advantage of a Hulk sighting, David 'Barton's' hotheaded boss goes as far as to dress up as a creature.

After being exposed to the radiation of a meteor that had just crashed to the Earth, David's transformation back from the Hulk stops midway, leaving him half-Hulk/half human.

David's half-Hulk/half-human condition leads a military group called Prometheus to believe that he is an alien, so they capture him, and then send him to a lab for study.
