The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1274: Real Heroes #2, 1994
As the cover says, Storm and Namor have to stop a crazed Hulk and Wolverine who have been mind-controlled by the "Gods of the North" to kill all of humanity...by fighting with one another.
I think.
Promo comics that feature mainstream characters are always a bit dodgy, as those characters have to conform to situations in ways that they might not in their regular appearances. This comic is a heavy-handed lesson on environmental pollution and the dangers it poses. I suppose, in thinking through gods as metaphors, the destruction of the environment is causing "retaliatory" damage against human beings.
Where are the superheroes when you need them?
More to come...
