Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Episode 3 Hulk vs. the World


Now it is time for the first appearance of one of the most popular characters in comic books, the Incredible Hulk. In this episode, Bruce Banner is on the run from SHIELD and General Thunderbolt Ross and his merry band of Hulkbusters, where he runs into Carl “Crusher” Creel, better known as the Absorbing Man. As his name might have indicated, the Absorbing Man can absorb anything. He goes after Banner who hulks out. But he makes the mistake of absorbing rock and well…

“Hulk smashes rock, Einstein”

Well said indeed. We have the Hulkbusters show up and Thunderbolt Ross is always fanatical in wanting to take down the Hulk as always. But SHIELD steps in, in the form of the Black Widow and Hawkeye. Hawkeye’s “click, click, boom” was choice. After some insanity, where Ross disobeys some SHIELD orders, forcing Hulk to save them and Hulk gets captured for his troubles, with Bruce Banner being locked back up at the Vault.

Meanwhile there is something off with the Black Widow, and Hawkeye is trying to figure out what it is. As it turns out, it seems that she is a double agent for HYDRA but he makes the mistake of confronting her about it, so he gets framed as the double agent and gets locked up into SHIELD custody. This is a story arc that will be set up in the show proper.

Another solid episode, 7/10. You can watch Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Episode 3 Hulk vs. the World on Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Volume 1 DVD.
