    Part of me wonders just how the timer works. And if it'll really be adhered to for long.

    1) It might be revealed to be a lie/a placebo effect to control Maverick so he doesn't fully abuse the Red Hulk form. IE He can actually change into a Hulk all the time but they want him to beleive he can't.
    2) If he exceeds the time of an hour as a Hulk it causes his body to fail or take injuries on from the stress of the form.
    3) If he exceeds the time he might lose himself to the transformation IE go full on rampaging Hulk.

    I figured I'd mention the idea since I rarely see timers in comics that have stayed around as such. The only one I think stayed around to any real degree was Hourman's miraclo lasting for an hour.

    Al Ewing did an interview on the upcoming USAvengers that will focus on Red Hulk.

    I wanted to go solo on Red Hulk; he got some play in [U.S.AVENGERS #1], but since then he’s been stuck in human form waiting for his “hour of power” to come around again, so I figured the readers deserved 20 full pages of smashing Red Hulk action!

    Incredible Hulk #2 Jul 1962
    First appearance of the green Hulk and the Toad Men in "The Terror of the Toad Men"
    Part One – Enter the Toad Men
    The Hulk (now green in color) is seen staggering out of a swamp by a local police officer who races off to alert the town that the monster is nearby.
    The Hulk responds to the local’s attempts to subdue him with violence but is eventually coaxed off the battlefield by Rick Jones.
    Meanwhile, the Earth is about to get several strange new visitors (the Toad Men) who armed with advanced magnetic technology beyond human understanding
    use a 'magnetic grappler' to lock on to Dr. Banner’s vast scientific mind and land nearby to capture him.
    Their intention is to capture the smartest man on the planet and force him to reveal how far the planet has come technologically.

    Bruce and Rick meanwhile are preparing an underground cave with an isolation chamber in which to trap the Hulk each night before the transformation occurs.
    Suddenly their process is interrupted when they are captured by the toad men from outer space!

    Part Two – Prisoners of the Toad Men!
    Trapped by the toad men's magnetic ray guns, Bruce and Rick are transported to the toad men’s spaceship and rocketed out of Earth’s atmosphere.
    Captain Torrak of the toad men explains that Bruce and Rick are his prisoners and that Earth is surrounded by their invincible fleet.
    Demanding the technological knowledge of the Earth he threatens to use their magnetic powers to knock cities free of the planet’s crust,
    empty the world’s oceans of life, or root everyone to the ground preventing them from moving.

    The toad men realizing that Rick is of no value and transport him safely back to Earth but as the ship moves to the dark side of the Earth,
    the transformation begins and Bruce Banner once again becomes the brutish Hulk. The Hulk breaks free of his confinement and attacks his captors
    and realizes that with the toad men’s weaponry, he could wipe out all of mankind once and for all. Just then the U.S. Anti-Missile Base below detects the ship
    in the night sky and fires on it and the UFO crashes to the ground as General Ross and his men surround it.

    Part Three – Bruce Banner, Wanted for Treason
    As the military officers move in to investigate the crashed ship, a bedraggled Bruce Banner stumbles free and the surviving toad men escape via a tunnel they blast under their ship.

    Bruce Banner is then taken into custody and once in the clear the toad men on the surface send a flare into the sky to signal their armada to attack.

    The sky soon fills with the ships of the toad men fleet from outer space.

    Part Four – Hulk Runs Amok
    The toad king contacts the Earth and warns humanity that his forces are preparing to shift the moon toward Earth using their magnetic powers.
    This will eventually lead to the destruction of Earth unless mankind surrenders. Meanwhile, the night falls and Bruce Banner once again turns into the Hulk.
    The Hulk escaping his captivity, sets off in search of General Ross who imprisoned him but instead comes upon Betty alone in the Ross house.
    Betty screams as the army attacks the Hulk in an attempt to rescue Betty from him.

    Part Five – The End of the Hulk
    The Hulk manages to escape capture and takes Betty as a hostage. Rick figures that the Hulk must have taken Betty back to Banner’s Lab
    and makes his way there as the Hulk explains to Betty that he hates humanity for what they have done to him.
    Rick confronts the Hulk but before the Hulk can silence Rick forever a tremor from the toad men’s magnetic weapons shakes the lab knocking all three unconscious.

    As the sun rises, it is Banner who awakes first and along with Rick runs to the storage site of the gamma ray gun.
    Bruce then fires at the toad men’s ships and the blast of energy causes them to lost control of their movement and hurtle out of control into the void forever.

    Banner is regarded a hero for saving the Earth but General Ross remains skeptical believing he is somehow connected to the Hulk.

    Incredible Hulk #4 Nov 1962
    "The Monster and the Machine!"
    Betty Ross is milling about the Desert Base. She reflects upon recent events, particularly the lives of Bruce Banner, Rick Jones, and the incredible Hulk.
    She finds her father General Ross who is testing the effectiveness of his prototype "Iceberg Rocket" against a facsimile of the Hulk.
    A jet-powered faux Hulk is launched into the air, and the rocket targets the projectile, encasing it in a block of ice.

    Ross is satisfied with the test, confident that this rocket will succeed in capturing the real Hulk. At Betty's request he then sends his soldiers out to track down Rick Jones.

    Meanwhile, Rick Jones is inside his cottage with the true Hulk, who is still under his mental control due to an accidental overdose of cosmic radiation.
    When Rick sees soldiers coming to capture him, he orders the Hulk to flee. Without a word, the Hulk leaps away and lands in a nearby town.

    General Ross is convinced that Rick Jones knows more about the Hulk then he lets on. He interrogates Rick at length, but when the boy refuses to cooperate,
    Ross has him arrested. Rick sends out a telepathic S.O.S. to the Hulk. The Hulk turns back and super-jumps his way to Rick's location.
    He scoops him out of the army jeep and leaps away. Rick directs him to Doctor Banner's secret cave. Once inside, he places the Hulk in front of a gamma ray projector.
    After reading some of Banner's notes, he activates the device, and the Hulk transforms back into Bruce Banner.

    Incredible Hulk #6 Mar 1963
    Introduction of the Teen Brigade in "The Incredible Hulk vs The Metal Master!"
    General Ross wants to test fly a new experimental rocket, but he needs Bruce Banner to initiate the final sequences.
    Banner, however, is currently missing. Present is Rick Jones, who is worried about why Banner hasn't returned to the base.

    The Hulk, still possessing a limited amount of Banner's intellect, manages to evade army personnel and get back to his sanctuary cave.
    He activates the Gamma Ray Projector and transforms back into Banner. Each time he uses the device, the transformation becomes more and more painful.
    This most recent transformation yields another side effect. Though he looks human again, Banner is now bigger and stronger than his usual frail self.
    From within the cave, Banner monitors events at General Ross' desert base. What Bruce witnesses on the view screen causes him great distress.

    At the Desert Base an alien known as the Metal Master comes to Earth with plans of conquest.
    He demonstrates his superior powers of magnetism by melting the metal components of General Ross' test rocket.
    When Ross orders his men to attack, the Metal Master uses his powers to melt a tank, turning it into a cage of twisted, molten metal, which he then uses to ensnare Ross, his daughter Betty, and Rick Jones.
    Ross slips through the latticework of the cage and activates a barrage of hunter rockets and targets the Metal Master.
    The Metal Master pries up a piece of metal plating and uses it as a hover-board while simultaneously deflecting Ross' missiles.

    At the sanctuary cave, Banner once again activates the Gamma Ray Projector and turns into the Hulk. This time, however, another unexpected side-effect manifests.
    Though he has the body of the Hulk, his head is still that of Bruce Banner. To disguise his features, the Hulk dons a latex Hulk mask so that no one will recognize him as Banner.

    The Hulk power-leaps to the Metal Master's whereabouts and confronts him in battle.
    The Metal Master uses discarded metal debris to erect a cage around the Hulk, but the Hulk easily tears through it.
    The Metal Master batters the Hulk in the back of the head with a piece of the cage, knocking him out. The Metal Master leaves the area and army personnel apprehend the unconscious Hulk.
    One soldier removes the latex mask, but, by this point, the transformation has completed itself, and the Hulk looks like his normal self.
    The Hulk is airlifted to a stone building designed specifically to contain him. When the Hulk awakens, he finds himself trapped in this massive cell.
    Rick Jones tries to visit him, but the Hulk calls him a traitor and swears that he will make him pay once he escapes.

    Rejected, Rick Jones leaves and returns home. He no longer feels that he can trust Bruce Banner and decides to take his own measures to safeguard society from the likes of the Metal Master.
    At the advice of one his friends, Rick helps to form a network of teenagers across the country who communicate with one another via ham radios and pledge to help the world whenever they can.
    Rick dubs this organization the Teen Brigade.

    At the Desert Base, the Hulk continues to batter at the stone walls of his prison until he finally breaks free. News of the Hulk's escape quickly reaches the office of General Ross.
    Ross shakes his fists in frustration, while Betty worries that the Hulk may have something to do with Bruce's unexplained absence.

    The Hulk returns to his laboratory cave and uses the projector to turn back into Bruce Banner. Rick Jones arrives, feeling bad that he mistrusted Banner's intentions.
    He realizes that Banner's motivations are drastically different from the Hulk's. Bruce develops an idea on how to defeat the Metal Master, but he requires a lot of equipment to make his plan work.
    Rick contacts the Teen Brigade, who arranges for a variety of odds and ends to be secretly delivered to Banner's laboratory.

    The Metal Master, meanwhile, continues to demonstrate his awesome power across the world. He travels to Russia where he wreaks havoc against the Soviet military apparatus.
    He then travels to Washington, D.C. to execute a similar demonstration of his might at the nation's capital.
    As the Metal Master pontificates, the Hulk arrives in Washington, armed with an over-sized specially designed rocket launcher.
    The Metal Master scoffs at the Hulk's weaponry and tries to use his power to make it explode. The tactic fails, however, and the Metal Master does not understand why.
    He looms in closer and tries even harder to destroy the Hulk's weapon. The second attempt meets with the same success as the first, and he moves in even closer for a third attempt.
    Once he is within arms reach, the Hulk drops his rocket launcher and grabs the Metal Master. He threatens to pulverize him unless the alien agrees to restore all the damage he caused.
    The Metal Master, a coward at heart and fearing for his life, agrees. Once he rebuilds all of the facilities he has destroyed, he gets into his rocket ship and returns to his home world.

    The Hulk congratulates the Teen Brigade for helping him build a faux rocket launcher made out of non-metallic parts.
    Fortunately for the world, his bluff worked. Grabbing Rick, the Hulk power-leaps away, returning to his secret cave where he transforms back into Banner.

    Once he is fully human again, Banner finally returns to the Desert Base. General Ross admonishes him for his sudden disappearance, and Bruce tells him that he had taken a small vacation in Bermuda.

    Yes, you're right I remember watching a documentary/special of the 1970s Hulk TV show mentioning this.
