Are the Defenders prepared to take on the Sons of the Serpent?

The Sons of the Serpent, a racist organization dedicated to the rule of the white race, tried to remove the people of color living in an apartment house. The Defenders came to their aid, and the Serpents ran off.

Kyle, remembering that he had spoken to a man named Holliman about real estate earlier, believes he may be connected.

Yellowjacket happens upon some Sons of the Serpent while traversing some rooftops and jumps them. He brings one of them to the Defenders, and Nighthawk interrogates him. He says their leader will speak on TV at midnight.

Kyle and Yellowjacket see someone lurking outside their window, and Yellowjacket stuns him with a pistol. It turns out to be Jack Norriss, the husband of Barbara Norriss, whose body Valkyrie inhabits. She knew Barbara had had a husband, but never met him. Jack and Val are both stunned by the encounter.

They watch the Supreme Serpent's address on TV, in which he makes a highly bigoted case about invading hordes of non-whites and non-Christians taking over the US.

The Defenders decide they must stop him, but are interrupted by bombs exploding in a nearby neighborhood. The Defenders rush to save the area.

The Sons of the Serpent knock out a tired Yellowjacket while Nighthawk, Val, and Dr. Strange split off to investigate Holliman. They give him the fourth degree, but believe him when he says he is not involved. They return to the site of the bombing, where the Serpents stun-blast Val and Strange, and, amazingly, manage to knock out the Hulk. They take the others, but leave the Hulk in place. He changes back to Bruce Banner.
