Capture of Samuel Sterns

The Capture of Samuel Sterns was an unplanned arrest when Natasha Romanoff discovered a mutated Samuel Sterns during her S.H.I.E.L.D. mission to watch over Bruce Banner.
==Background==
Bruce Banner and Betty Ross were trying to get an antidote for Banner's gamma radiation condition, so they went to Samuel Sterns at Grayburn College, whom Banner had been working with indirectly for more than a year through the computer messaging aliases of "Mr. Green," and "Mr. Blue." Banner tested the antidote, which seemed to work, but only temporarily.
After this, it was revealed that he had been experimenting with Banner's blood samples on animal test subjects without his knowledge, and also revealed his wishes to utilize his tests towards further scientific research.
Sterns debated with Banner, arguing that their discoveries in regard to the antidote could gain them prestigious awards and attention in the long run, whereas Banner insisted that Sterns didn't fully grasp the full extent of the situation. During their bickering, the Strategic Operations Command Center had been listening in to their argument. After a sniper immobilized Banner, Sterns could only watch in horror as Emil Blonsky apprehended Banner and Betty into his custody.
Blonsky turned a gun on a confused Sterns and threatened him to comply with his demands to inject him with Banner's blood. Sterns opened up on his experiment with Banner, but also noticed that Blonsky was had been enhanced already. Blonsky eventually managed to force Sterns to comply by physically threatening him.
When he infused him with Gamma Radiation, the mix of the Super Soldier Serum and Banner's blood transformed Blonsky into an "Abomination." Taking on the mantle, Abomination then threw Dr. Sterns into a container of Banner's blood, which leaked into a scar in Stern's forehead, which made his brain grow and gave him a higher level intellect.

When Natasha Romanoff followed Bruce Banner to New York City, she made her way through Grayburn College to investigate Samuel Sterns' status. Romanoff found Sterns and saw his mutation from Banner's blood. When he tried to convince her to help him evade the authorities while demonstrating his new god complex, she shot him in the leg and called a clean-up team, leaving Sterns for pickup by them and placed him into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s custody.The Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week
==Aftermath==
Sterns was taken afterwards to a secure location to be studied by S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists in a containment tank. The incident relating to Stern's arrest was later referred to as "Project Mr. Blue".
