Whilst working on his robot he has an epiphany that he only turns into The Hulk when he is under immense stress therefore he needs to avoid such situations in order to remain as Banner. General Ross tells Banner his robot will be tested early next morning so the scientist decides to work on his project overnight. While alone in his lab he hears a noise outside and sees a spy running away. The stress of the realisation turns him back into The Hulk who promptly leaves the military base.The aforementioned spy sneaks into the robot after knocking out the lone guard and takes control during the test. The guard is later discovered and General Ross thinks Banner has lost it and must be stopped. Unfortunately for the General, Banner’s robot is near indestructible and even an assault by army tanks can’t stop it. The robot heads into the dessert where The Hulk thinks it is a threat and retaliates.
