He plans to use the Hulk to bring his son back to life, which in the process will kill the Hulk. Just as the process is about to begin the Silver Surfer shows up. Hulk agrees to bring trauma back to life anyway. What Armageddon doesn't know is the that the Hulk plans to destroy Trauma. He forces so much energy into the machine that it explodes.
