There will be spoilers for Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes Season 2 Episode 9 Nightmare in Red.

Episode Synopsis

General Ross visits the SHIELD hellicarrier, to try and get the sample of the Hulk's blood from Maria Hill. However, they are rather late to the punch, as a man, appears to steal the blood. His name is the Winter Soldier. The Winter Soldier injects a man in the shadows with a modified sample of the Hulk's blood, turning him into the Red Hulk.

Meanwhile, the Hulk is allowing Bruce Banner to be out for the day, which Banner decides to go fishing, much to the dismay of Hawkeye.

The Red Hulk is causing havoc, which causes Wasp and Captain America to head off to deal with the situation. Maria Hill scoffs at the suggestion that this can't be the same Hulk due to the fact he's red instead of green, given the fact that the Hulk started gray.

Back at the Mansion, Falcon appears, to attempt to kidnap Banner, injecting him with a drug that prevents him from being able to Hulk Out. Falcon is defeated handily by Hawkeye, but the Red Hulk shows up and kidnaps Bruce Banner, reluctant to follow his orders. Captain America, Wasp, and Hawkeye(who had been knocked out), head off to save Banner from Red Hulk, while Maria Hill authorizes the Hulkbuster units lead by General Ross.

The Avengers distract the Red Hulk long enough, for Banner to Hulk out and rumble with Red Hulk. In the battle, Hawkeye and Wasp are both buried under debris, but Red Hulk escapes, just in time for the Hulkbuster units to show up. Captain America convinces Hulk to revert to Banner and turn himself in.

At the end, the Captain America Skrull tells his queen that the Hulk is out of the picture and the Avengers are crippled. Also, a man called Dell Rusk compliments Doc Samson, Falcon, and the Winter Soldier in the service that they have done for their country.

Episode Review

A jam packed episode, with a lot of great characters showing up. The Winter Soldier showing up, I'll be honest, I knew he was coming but I rather geeked out all of the same.

Red Hulk is a character that many are not fond of but he was done well enough, with some amazing fight scenes. I did like Maria Hill's line about how if it was polkadots, it could still be the Hulk. A pretty good fight scene. Granted, those who are comic book fans, we know about the Winter Soldier, Red Hulk, and even Dell Rusk.

That was a rather smooth move on your part, Captain Ameri-skrull. The invasion is kicking up and the next episode will be one that will be an even bigger step but we'll get to that when we get to that.

The Avengers are at their weakest right now, but it is always darkest before the dawn.
