They would befriend the Hulk after he finds their wagon. The Hulk feels comfortable with his new group of friends and is infatuated with the beautiful Meriam. The Circus of Crime discover the wagon and a fight breaks out between the two groups. The Hulk is hypnotized by the Ringmaster and Cannonball dispatches the rest of the group.

Another fight breaks out and Stilts uses his quickness to tie the  Princess Python‘s snake into a knot while his other friends take care of everyone else.
