Whatever part of that extinct society have survived the horror now lives in an enormous city of Dystopia, under the rule of Maestro; a Hulk from an alternate future timeline.

The Hulk was in the marketplace of Dystopia with Dakord, Janis Jones, Pizfiz and Skooter, who got chased by the Gravity Police but only got their butt saved when the jolly green giant intervened.

Maestro receives this news while he was busy with the women of harem and he appears to be an elderly version of the green goliath but only massive in size and superior in intellect. Representing the rebel alliance against Maestro, Janis Jones took Hulk to their secret base and showed him footage of the accident a century earlier that transformed him into the raging monster, all recovered from the psych of Rick Jones.

Because of Maestro's evil plan, the heroes of the world are lost today and Hulk met an elderly Rick Jones. One of the rebels, Pizfiz was captured and in Maestro's fortress he was interrogated by the big bad green himself. However, since the prisoner was non-cooperative, a forcible mind scanning was on progress, from which the villain realize that the rebels now have acquired Doctor Doom's Time Machine and plans to use it against him.

Seeing a huge plot against him to overthrow his rule, a furious Maestro heads towards the rebel base and charges his way into the secret hideout of the rebellion under the ground. As the rebels were already prepared for intruders, many of Maestro's minions are slaughtered as he was looking for the members of this movement. The final showdown arrives, when the elderly evil genius version of Hulk meets his younger self into a stand-off that will shake the ground of Dystopia.

He recruited Simmons in a special top secret division with the jurisdiction in every internal and external affair out there. Often having less satisfactory explanation from director Wynn regarding their operation, Simmons was always tasked with the bloodiest missions. During a covert operation, Al Simmons is burned alive by his fellow operative Bruce Stinson AKA Chapel on order from his superiors for purpose unknown.

As soon as he died, Simmons was sent to Hell as he led his life as an assassin and there he agrees to became the host of Hellspawn, to serve Malebolgia; one of the rulers of Hell. Malebolgia resurrects him so that he could see his wife Wanda Blake again for one last time.

Though returned to Earth, he discovers that five years have already passed since he died and he cannot change back to his normal visage permanently even if he wanted to. Wanda has also moved on with his best friend Terry Fitzgerald and married him. With a powerful demon henchman of Malebolgia called the Violator monitoring his every move, Simmons is now to decide his upcoming actions as the eternal servant of Hell.
