What If Rick Jones Had Become The Hulk? (Volume 1)

  • Instead of Bruce Banner saving Rick Jones from the gamma bomb, it’s vice versa

  • He flees from General Ross when they hunt him as Hulk whereas Banner fought him in 616

  • Bruce Banner keeps Rick in an undersea chamber designed to contain Hulk while he works on a cure

  • Everything happens as in 616 where Hulk eventually teams up with the Avengers to fight Loki

  • After suppressing the Hulk through Banner’s inoculation, Rick Jones becomes Captain America’s newest Bucky

  • In time, Rick finds the Nega-Bands that switch him and Mar-vell from the Negative Zone and back

  • He becomes involved in the Kree-Skrull War and is almost trapped in the Negative Zone as Mar-vell lies on his deathbed until Mr. Fantastic and Banner are able to extract him and separate him from the Hulk 

  • Hulk is left in the Negative Zone fighting Annihilus and defeats him becoming the new ruler and content that he is alone

  • Mar-vell is cured of the cancer which claimed his life in 616 and continues his life
