The Incredible Hulk # 387 1991 VF/NM

The Incredible Hulk # 387 published in November 1991, features a complex, morally ambiguous story written by Peter David with art by Dale Keown. The issue, titled "Hiding Behind Mosques," is the concluding chapter of the "Little Hitler" storyline, where the Hulk must decide the fate of a young boy destined for evil. 

"Hiding Behind Mosques"

The story is set in Israel and involves a deep ethical conflict as the Hulk works with the global organization known as the Pantheon: 

• The Premise: The Pantheon's precognitive member, Delphi, has a vision that a young boy named Max Meer will grow up to become a dictator as bad as Hitler.
• The Conflict: The Hulk is sent by the Pantheon's leader, Agamemnon, to stop Achilles from murdering the boy. However, the Hulk is immediately attacked by Sabra, Israel's super-soldier, who believes the Hulk is a destructive force. Sabra initially attacks the Hulk's vocal cords, preventing him from explaining his mission and causing a chaotic battle across Jerusalem.
• The Decision: The fight with Sabra and the subsequent chaos make the mission moot. In the end, the Hulk doesn't kill the boy. Max Meer is taken to a hospital, and the Pantheon reveals the entire situation was a test for Achilles.
• The Twist Ending: Max is left in a vegetative state from the trauma. It is revealed that his friend, Greta Rabin, actually has mind-control powers and believes she can still channel her control through Max to make him the "great leader" she desires, implying the dark future Delphi predicted might still come to pass.
