...and later teaching him a thing or two about the value of teamhulkship! I'm pretty sure that's a word.


Jeremy enlists Amadeus's help in a basketball game (some kind of "jam," in "space") for the benefit of his charity.

When one of the alien basketball players is kidnapped, Jeremy sets up the shot into the Death Star's sole weak point Quasimodo's villain HQ to triumph against a supervillain!
