Iron Hulk Number 1
Discovery
Story by Oskar Castro.
“How long is this gonna take Clint?”
“Few more minutes I think.”
“Really? You said
that fifteen minutes ago. Do you know
what you’re doing? I’ve got things I
need to do.”
“Of course. Sorry.
This is like rocket science to me. I‘m figuring it out.”
“Rocket science? I thought you knew what you were doing
Clint? You’ve been at this for about an hour.
This was only supposed to take about ten minutes. I’ve got things to do
you know!”
“There! There it
is! Look! Can you see it?”
“See what? What am I
supposed to be seeing?”
“It’s the Hulk. Hold
on. Let me fine-tune it. There!”
“The Hulk? As in
Bruce?”
“No, not Bruce.
Another Hulk… from an alternate reality.”
“Clint, what the heck is this?”
“It’s a dimensional monitor. Vision and Franklin Richards
made it for me so I could watch Mockingbird’s alternate in another
dimension. It’s like switching channels,
you know? I can see as many different versions
of Mockingbird as are out there. Pretty
cool. Pretty weird too, right?”
“Yeah. So, why are we looking at an alternate Hulk? And why did it take so long?”
“Ah, right. Well, Vision and Franklin designed it to hone in
all Mockingbirds. So I had to tinker
with it. You know me. After awhile I got
bored just watching all these Mockingbirds who weren’t Mockingbird. Instead of lifting me up, it just made me
melancholy. So I had the idea that I might tune into the lives of other alternate
Avengers. I call it alternate-reality-TV
and I started with the Hulk. I saved the
coordinates, but I think maybe the gamma radiation the Hulk gives off makes it
difficult for the device to get an exact fix on him.”
“You should have Vision fix it.”
“He refused.”
“Right. Makes sense to me too. What the hell are you doing Clint?! They shouldn’t have made this toy for you in
the first place. Again, why are we looking at the Hulk?!”
“Right! The Hulk.
Well, see… this Hulk is different than our Hulk. Very.
I was watching him earlier and this guy is… well, he’s you Tony.”
“What? Me?!”
“Yeah. Apparently in
this dimensional plane the Hulk is also Tony Stark and not Bruce Banner. Tony
Stark is… now brace yourself… Iron Hulk. Pretty cool right?”
“Iron Hulk?! What
the…”
“See the armor? Cool right? Get’s better. See, this Tony
Stark is best bud’s with T’challa. They have a global empire together. In this
dimension T’challa has brokered a deal between his people in Wakanda, and Stark
Enterprises. The stores of vibranium are being mined and used to power Stark’s
mechanical innovations. And he is doing
it all as Iron Hulk/Tony Stark. Crazy
cool, right?”
“Right. Listen Clint. Next time you want to waste an hour of
my time, don’t. Ok?”
“Sheesh. C’mon, Tony.
Chill out. I’ve got popcorn…?”
“Stay away from me Clint.”
“Whateva”.
