About 3 years into his classic Hulk run, Peter David wrote a 4-part arc called "Countdown". In this arc Bruce Banner is poisoned and will die at sunrise when the gray Hulk is forced to transform back into Banner. Each chapter in the arc features a different antagonist on the cover for the Hulk to fight. Who are these four antagonists?
Players may guess as many characters as there are unrevealed spots. Clues will be provided as needed.
1. Abomination
2.
3. Leader
4.
Incorrect: General Ross, Bruce Banner, Super-Skrull, Juggernaut, U-Foes, Absorbing Man, Blob, Doctor Doom, Red-Hulk, She-Hulk, Ben Grimm/Thing, Human Torch, Piecemeal
Hints:
Look at how I listed the latest incorrects and see if you can infer something.....
#2 is or has been a member of the FF
#4 is a villain created by PAD for the arc
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

No. Ben actually is in the issue in human form, but someone else who was in the FF at the time was going toe-to-toe with the Hulk.

Sharon makes sense. Good guess Chaim.
As for the last one, not having read the run is going to make it difficult to guess. Have to leave it to someone else. Hey Ann your a PAD fan I think. Any ideas?

Sharon Ventura/Ms. Marvel in her "she-thing" form is correct for #2! PAD managed to shoe-horn in another Hulk/Thing fight in this arc with this twist. (Not personally a fan of this era for Sharon.)

This character share his name with an indie character that debuted in the '90s with a pop art sensibility to him.

Yes! PAD's character shared a name with Michael Allred's signature creation! The Hulk character was Philip Sterns, the brother of fellow Hulk villain the Leader. Philip was a college classmate of Bruce Banner's who admired him from afar and later tried to duplicate gamma mutation in himself. He developed a split personality in which his alter ego was insane and had super-strength. At the end of Countdown, he was left for dead to succumb to his own poison but was later shown to have survived.

Donald Blake finds the Hammer of Thor in a Norwegian cave. But why did he go into the cave?

No. Hopefully the hammer of a storm god would be picky enough to avoid someone who didn't like the rain .  Nope Archeological expedition? Nope. I think he was on vacation in Norway. Yes! Kirby & Lee got an early handle on Norse mythology. His first adventure was against the Rock Men of Saturn! Over to you Chaim!

How was Warlock (of the New Mutants) able to defeat the Impossible Man in a shape-shifting one-upmanship contest?

Nope. That was Molecule Man whose girlfriend was Volcana, not Impossible Man.
