Description

Ed's Solo Infiltration Mission.Ed, Hulk, and their S.H.I.E.L.D. escort head for the Abomination's base on Ryker's Island and the Raft. Ed is not eager to return to the island, but he faces that fear as he and Hulk split up with their S.H.I.E.L.D. guards to locate Abomination. During his infiltration, Ed receives a call from Pepper, who explains that Chris managed to do a double D-Smash. Ed is surprised as he listens to Pepper explain that the second D-Smashed hero can only remain outside their DISK for a short period of time when the primary hero's DISK time has already run out. Ed takes this into account, then hangs up. Managing to sneak into the base, Ed is spotted by Rebecca Riley, who makes a call. Inside the base, Ed crawls through the air vents, just as he and Jessica did when she received Wasp's DISK. Getting out of the ventilation system, Ed is cornered by the Celebrity Five. Though Hulk asks to be D-Smashed, Ed knows he needs the Hulk to defeat Abomination. Shutting down the Hulk's hologram, Ed tries to fight the CF with a broom - only to learn that they have come to help him defeat the Red Skull, who has enslaved them and made them HYDRA agents against their wills. The Five help Ed escape the other HYDRA agents before giving him Power Man's DISK. When Ed then runs into a door he cannot open, he takes a chance and D-Smashes Power Man, who warms up to him when he sees that Ed possess Hulk's DISK. Power Man then carries Ed through the base on his back, punching through doors - and HYDRA agents - until they reach Abomination and the Gaia Anchor. Power Man engages Abomination, but is no match for his Dimension Sphere enhanced powers. His time limit runs out and he returns to his DISK, leaving Ed to face the Abomination. In the scuffle, Ed dropped the Hulk's Build Up Plate. Abomination holds it and taunts Ed, who admits he is not strong but is still willing to fight. He lures Abomination into touching a live wire, forcing the villain to drop the Build Up Plate. Attaching the mechanism to his DISK, Ed D-Smashes Hulk, who uses his Build Up Power to "Smash" both the Abomination and the Gaia Anchor. Ed D-Secures Abomination and the Hulk mentions his partner has gotten stronger, delighting the boy to no end.
