Free will and William Jenkins

In the Marvel Holiday Special (1993), Delphi confronts the newly widowed Pantheon technician William Jenkins, still mourning his wife lost dead in a car accident.

The Hulk does not believe any of this, stating it to be a 'crock', but he is cheered by a vision he has in Delphi's pool, of him kissing his beloved Betty Banner.
