She-Hulk runs into the depressed Ben on the street & buys him a beer to get him to talk to her. An armored car heist happens outside the bar, which the two heroes put to a stop. Ben goes to the hospital to see Alicia & is spied on by an elderly janitor. The janitor flashes back to ancient Egypt, where he was a wizard for the pharaoh. He cast a spell on a slave who was an unfortunate pawn of the cruel queen. The wizard developed a potion that has extended his life to the present day. He confronts Ben to tell him that the slave has been reincarnated in Ben's body & is finally in a worthy body for his revenge. Ben crushes the wizard's tablet that releases a mist which changes him into the slave but with an orange, rock-like skin. (Cover date: February, 1984) more
