Elsewhere, a battle broke out between the Hulkified versions of Spider-Man and Thor
(known as the Spider-Hulk and Thorr respectively). Thorr vowed to protect the Capital from an army of A.I.Marines (Hulkified versions of some A.I.M. agents). Memories from both their pasts resurfaced sparking the decisions they made, but their memories reminded them of things that made them angry too. His irritation building, and overpowered by his more savage instincts, Spider-Hulk was the first to attack. Thorr was not about to bested by a mortal and unleashed the full fury of the lightning at his command. Spider-Hulk was down, and Thorr moved in to deliver the final blow. Meanwhile, the Hulkified versions of Cyclops
and Iceman
(referred to as Hulklops and Icehulk) are plagued with suppressed memories and try to make the other see their point. While in an irritated state, Thorr forgot what it means to be the son of Odin as his hammer Mjolnir won't let him strike back Spider-Hulk. The commotion drew the attention of the A.I.Marine army outside and they entered the museum. Once inside, they started tearing up the place, and Spider-hulk could not sit idly by and allow the destruction of the museum to happen. He did his best to keep the A.I.Marines at bay, but he was overwhelmed. Thorr calmed himself enough to remember a promise made to his father to always be worthy of being his son, and Mjolnir was his to command once more. Thorr rushed to Spider-Hulk's side, and together they drove their enemies back outside and continued their brawl in the street. Meanwhile, the fight between Hulklops and Icehulk as if it could go on forever until Hulklops became bored with it and walked away, leaving Icehulk by himself. There was no clear winner, but it was certain that Hulklops and Ice-Hulk would never see eye-to-eye.
The suffering inflicted on Wolverine while he stood by and watched gave Wolverine all the motivation he needed to keep his advantage.
The Hulkified versions of Wolverine
(referred to as Wolverage) and the second
Captain America
relive their past when Wolverine knew Bucky as Winter Soldier. Although respecting Bucky for time served as the sidekick of Captain America during the war, Wolverine was a victim of Winter Soldier's cruel and ruthless brainwashing suffering brutal tortures at Bucky's command. Wolverage struggled against the effects of the radiation due to his healing factor, but the more time spent as a Hulk forced him to give in to his rage, and he was determined to get revenge. Meanwhile, the Hulkified versions of Monica Rambeau
and Thing (referred to as No-Thing) end up in a fight with the Hulkified versions of Human Torch (referred to as Hulking Torch), Ms. Marvel
, and War Machine
(referred to as Hulk Machine). Bucky fought back as hard as he could, but it didn't matter. There was a time Wolverine admitted Winter Soldier was probably one of the only men who could actually kill him, but it wouldn't be as a mindless Hulk. Similar to the past, Wolverine defeated an enemy but didn't give in to his rage. Wolverage just left Bucky in the streets trussed up.
