As Hulk heads to Las Vegas to meet her, the Firstborn tells one of her subordinates about her first encounter with a Hulk.
The meeting took place 3,600 years ago, in Assyria.
A man hidden behind a cloak reaches the land ruled by the Child Goddess and discovers its devastation.
When her demon soldiers attack him, the man transforms into his counterpart Enkidu and kills them.
The Firstborn is informed by a survivor of the arrival of Enkidu, who describes him as a monster bound to the Green Gate.
The Child Goddess seems to fear “He Below All,” imprisoned behind the Green Door, but his herald Enkidu may also be the key to reviving the Mother of Monsters.
