What If Season 3 Episode 1: Heroes of the Gamma War
The episode kicks off with a nostalgic throwback: an old animation intro titled Avengers: Heroes of the Gamma War. Right from the start, it sets the tone for a gripping adventure. We see Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, jogging towards a banner calling out, “On your left.” It’s a nod to the classic Avengers moments but hints that this story is taking us somewhere completely new.
A Calm Before the Storm
Sam and Bruce Banner head out to fish by a quiet lake, sharing what seems like a peaceful moment. But things quickly spiral out of control. Banner transforms into the Hulk, only for the Hulk to suddenly flee when he sees Sam. It’s clear something isn’t right. Bruce’s internal struggle intensifies as he tries to control his anger by absorbing too much gamma energy. The result? A disastrous split that creates Apex Hulk—a massive, raging force of destruction.
Apex Hulk Takes Over
Apex Hulk, now a towering, unstoppable force, builds a gamma-fueled army and throws the world into chaos. The Avengers band together to stop him, deploying their ultimate weapon: the Hulkbusters. But even their combined might isn’t enough. In the end, the original Avengers make the ultimate sacrifice, falling in a heartbreaking final battle.
Ten Years of Struggles
With the original Avengers gone, the New Avengers step up to keep the world safe. But over the next decade, Apex Hulk grows larger and more dangerous. Desperate for a solution, Sam tracks down Bruce, who’s been living in isolation. Overwhelmed with guilt but determined to help, Bruce reveals the Avengers Protocol: a massive mechanical weapon called the Megazord—their last hope.
The Epic Battle
Armed with the Megazord, the New Avengers take the fight to Apex Hulk. It’s an all-out battle, but even with the Megazord, the Avengers begin to lose ground. Just when all seems lost, Bruce makes a jaw-dropping entrance. He jumps out of a jet, detonates a gamma bomb mid-air, and absorbs the energy to become a gigantic, unstoppable Mega Hulk.
Mega Hulk vs. Apex Hulk
What follows is a battle for the ages. Mega Hulk and Apex Hulk clash in a fight that shakes the earth. Each blow feels like the world is hanging in the balance. In the end, Mega Hulk’s strength and determination triumph, bringing Apex Hulk’s reign of terror to an end.
A New Dawn
With Apex Hulk defeated, the world finally has a chance to heal. The sacrifices of both the original and New Avengers stand as a testament to their courage and determination. The episode ends on a hopeful note, solidifying Avengers: Heroes of the Gamma War as one of the most unforgettable chapters in the Marvel universe.
