The Hulk had seemed bothered about something, as one of the S.H.I.E.L.D Agents had recalled, but he went in anyways. As soon as the doors closed, and the machine started, Keifer couldn't escape. He managed to float into the compartment that the clone was supposed to appear in, but that didn't help much. As the clone was appearing, Keifer attempted to get out. When he couldn't, he noticed that the clone's body was finished, but it didn't have a soul yet. Taking the opportunity, Keifer became the body's soul. The original soul was never created.
After donning a living body, Keifer attempted to get out once more. With his new-found strength, Keifer ripped the cloning machine apart. He later found that the body had not quite finished. He had no hair, and his skin was a silvery color. At the sight of this new creature, all of the S.H.I.E.L.D Agents fled. the Hulk stayed to fight. Keifer easily managed to throw the Hulk off of the Heli-carrier. Keifer quickly explained to the agents that he meant no harm. He had noticed that he had retained little of the Hulk's anger. Afterwards, Hulk #2 was willingly used as a test subject.
Hulk #2, quickly became friends with all of the Gammas. Blue Hulk was one of his best friends. When S.H.I.E.L.D asked to use Blue Hulk's blood, and he agreed. Blue Hulk didn't know they were going to inject Hulk #2 with it. Unlike S.H.I.E.L.D, Draco knew that it was very dangerous to inject a gamma with another gamma's blood. It had created monsters like Maestro and the Abomination. After they had injected Hulk #2 with Draco's blood, he went rampage. He destroyed the Heli-carrier, but luckily no one died. Soon afterwards, he had gotten back to his senses. He apologized many times for destroying the Heli-carrier.
Hulk #2 was rewarded with the same liquid that was given to Blue Hulk to give him a human form. Many were shocked to find that he did not look like Bruce Banner or even Draco Kazacar, but he looked like Keifer Antonio. Keifer only knew his first name, and decided to make himself, Draco's cousin. After her husband died, Selena Antonio, (Not knowing what her Great-grandfather looked like) married Keifer, donning the last name, 'Kazacar', where she could have kept her own.
Keifer Kazacar was given the new name "The Iron Hulk", due to his color and strength. He lives on happily with his wife.
