As some unusual activities are detected on the Canadian wilderness recently, a mysterious figure is detected approaching pretty fast and is attacked by Wendigo, who is viciously killed in battle and a major seismic activity is then detected on ground. What follows next is that, one of Hulk's strongest and most deadly arch-nemesis for years; The Abomination is mysteriously killed.

Everyone is shocked at the brutality of this murder after finding Emil Blonsky's deceased corpse in a village near Russia. Banner's close friend Doc Samson and cousin She-Hulk are sent to investigate the situation along with Maria Hill, General Ross and Iron Man; the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D. There, they faced Russian superhero team Winter Guard on scene during their investigation. Both parties argued and in the heat of the situation, Samson hits Red Guardian, which prompts an instant hostility between She-Hulk and Ursa Major.

Seeing everyone else fighting each other, Crimson Dynamo feels cocky and starts shooting at Iron Man but Tony knocked him down with a repulsor blast. Fight escalates and argument arises while Ross decides to be a voice of reason. They apparently found a little girl who survived among the few other villagers and only said a word which means "Red". Ross and Samson head back to Gamma Base finding no other possible explanation for these bizarre happenings, to get an expert opinion from none other than Bruce Banner.

Meanwhile, Banner's long-time ally Rick Jones suddenly wakes up and finds himself on the Alaskan Frontier without a memory of what happened with him. Then the new Helicarrier of S.H.I.E.L.D. is suddenly attacked and destroyed by some unforeseen force, while all classified files on Hulk are also erased by a virus. It grabbed She-Hulk before she could even move and then easily knocked her out cold. This mysterious entity is revealed itself to be a Hulk but only in "Red" and he is headed straight to Gamma Base. Looking for Banner, Rick Jones arrives at Gamma Base only to be confronted by Red-Hulk.

Rick then transforms into a Hulk-like creature as well but his appearance is more resembled to Abomination, calling himself A-Bomb. A clash between him and Red Hulk shook the place to its core and caused Bruce Banner to turn into Hulk as his containment unit tries to force sleep by using gas. Finally, actual green Hulk decides to face "Red" and it's time for some major collateral damage on the face of Earth. Even Uatu the Watcher showed up to witness this fight and got punched on his face by the Red Menace. Also, The Mighty Thor returns to Midgard for stopping the rampage of both Hulks.

New Avengers – Illuminati | Comics

Though members of Illuminati were united to take on greatest threats, they are torn apart by idea of a "Secret Invasion".

In the aftermath of Kree-Skrull War, King T'Challa AKA Black Panther has invited Black Bolt, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Namor and Professor X to Wakanda. Tony Stark believes they are partially responsible for what happened a week earlier as they all had some knowledge of their enemy but had no formation to stop them.

To his proposal for all groups of heroes to unite for a cause, Namor points out that there will be issue regarding leadership and not everyone will want to join them. Except for Reed Richards, both Strange and Xavier completely disagrees to this idea. However, none could debunk the idea of an oncoming invasion from enemy in future.

When time came to vote for keeping it all between them and continue working in secret but only T'Challa backs out, thus Illuminati is formed. Right after forming, these five travels to Skrull Throneworld and warn Emperor Dorrek VII to stay away from Earth or face consequences but he simply chooses to ignore and threatens their life.

In a show of force, Black Bolt destroyed their ship using his quasi-sonic scream and attempted to return home but got captured instead. After being examined and tortured for a while, Tony finally managed to lead them all to escape back home knowing there will be more attack but not before Skrulls collected important data on them.

New Avengers – Illuminati | Comics

They eventually took care of Infinity Gems by becoming their protectors, convinced Beyonder to self exile and groomed a Kree warrior to be Marvel Boy. Years later, when Hulk decimated Las Vegas in a rampage, Tony proposes his group that they throw him in space since there was no cure known to them for him but Namor rebelled angrily.

Without Xavier, Illuminati came together once again after House of M was over and Tony revealed to them about how U.S. government is planning for a Superhuman Registration Act. Hearing how things can lead to a superhero "Civil War", only Reed came to his support with Black Bolt, Strange and Namor walked out disagreeing.

New Avengers was split and Tony formed a government sponsored Mighty Avengers after asserting position as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. His former teammate Spider-Woman showed up with a corpse of a Skrull that was posing as Elektra, implying that ranks of superhero groups have been infiltrated with sleeper agents for invasion.

He then took the dead body to show to his fellow Illuminati members, believing it has something to do with their visit to Skrull home-world from many years ago. What is even more baffling to them is that it was able to remain undetected from Wolverine's mutant abilities, Spider-Man's senses and Doctor Strange's magic for too long.

Reed proposes to run an autopsy and dissect the corpse into molecular level to determine how to detect them. Both Charles Xavier and Prince Namor suggest that it could all be a solo operation even that they just found. Tony points out how everything has been upside down for past few years as they were being manipulated from within.

As they were arguing about what to do now, Blackagar Boltagon is revealed itself to be a Super-Skrull hiding among them all along. Immediately after revealing, it attacks them all and claims that Earth has already been taken over. Iron Man and his allies realize that this shape-shifting alien imposter is too-powerful for them to take down.

World War Hulk | Comics

Hulk was banished to space by The Illuminati to save the people of Earth from his rampage but he drifted to a harsh planet named Sakaar and become the ruler of Sakaar with Caiera as his queen, after defeating the notorious tyrant Red King of that planet. However, their joy on Sakaar was short lived when the people on Sakaar and the pregnant Caiera died in a powerful explosion of warp-core from the shuttle that brought Hulk on Sakaar.

Without even verifying who caused the accident, Hulk madly blames The Illuminati for this incident and travels back to Earth for vengeance with The Warbound at his side. On moon, Hulk battles and savagely beats down The Inhuman king Black Bolt and even his Quasi-Sonic powers were only good enough to knock the Hulk back for a while. Then he returned to Earth with Black Bolt's unconscious body, announcing New York City to be immediately evacuated.

Dust, Elixir, Hellion, Mercury, Prodigy, Rockslide, Surge and X-23 of the New X-Men led the first wave of attack against the green rage monster but among them, only X-23 managed to hurt him bad. Then Beast, Colossus, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Lockheed, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Wolverine led the second wave. All of them are either knocked out or crippled by Hulk one by one.

The X-Factor team and Excalibur were also alerted about the situation, the unstoppable Juggernaut decides to butt-in but got a beat-down himself too. Darwin, Hepzibah, Multiple Man, Monet St. Croix, Siryn, Strong Guy, Warpath and Wolfsbane took another dig at the monster and helped the X-Men stand to their feet. After Cessily Kincaid showed him the graves of all the fallen mutants of their ranks during M-Day, Hulk leaves after learning their loss.

Failed to convince The Sentry to aid them stopping Hulk, Iron Man in his improved "Hulk-Buster" armor and their collision have destroyed the Stark Tower in the process. The sorcerer supreme Doctor Strange confronted him to stop his rampage by trying to reach out to Bruce Banner, but he easily defeats him seeing past his illusions, breaking Strange's hands doing so. Hulk then turned Madison Square Garden in a huge gladiator arena and forced them to fight each other in front of a large crowd.

With the city severely broken and evacuated, many attempts by several other superheroes failed to stop Hulk and his Warbound including Doc Samson, Ghost Rider, She-Hulk, the team of New Avengers, Excalibur, Heroes For Hire, The Initiative and Fantastic Four. Then finally, when all heroes fell before the might of the green goliath, the all powerful Golden Guardian of Good made up his mind to enter the scene; to play God.
