When Sam Wilson meets a broken Bruce Banner he tries to help him control the monster inside him, through his counseling sessions with war veterans. But on a fishing trip with Sam and his sister Sarah, Bruce loses control and the hulk is released.

Fleeing from the ship and his friend Sam, Banner, partially inspired by his friend Sam but also his own loathing of the Hulk, tries to separate the beast from his human self but inadvertently creates an Apex gamma beast hellbent on destruction.

The Avengers, Steve Rogers, Thor, Tony Stark, Clint Barton and Natasha Romanov create giant Hulk Busters to beat their enemy but they are lost in the battle. Their loss inspired the surviving heroes to win the first Gamma War.

10 years later the Apex rises again. Stronger, more powerful and with 1000s of gamma beasts that are now an organised invasion force.

Sam Wilson, now the leader of a new Avengers team including Nakia, Moon Knight, the Red Guardian, Melina Vostkoff, Bucky Barnes, Shang-Chi and Monica Rambeau enlists his old friend Banner’s help to win the fight when their Mechs fail.

Bruce creates a programme for a Mech-Avenger, combining all the other Mechs into one supreme robot.

While it distracts the Apex, Bruce takes on the power of a gamma bomb creating Mega-Hulk who kills and replaces The Apex.

Calmed by the words of his friend Sam Wilson, Mega-Hulk leads the gamma beasts away from civilization to their own island.
