"Crusher" Creel lived a lifetime of petty crime even before being granted his powers by Asgardian magic. He lived from score to score, knocking over a liquor store here, a small-town bank there; always enough to live on, but not enough to catch the attention of any of the heavy hitters in the city. Even so, he eventually ended up in prison, where his physical domination of the other inmates caught the attention of LOKI. He was given power enough to challenge even the mighty HULK, whose might he quickly learned to absorb into his own body. His strength limited only by the applications of whatever material or energy he absorbs, every opponent he has ever had has only beaten his through luck alone.

Though Dr. Leonard Samson originally came to the fledgling Hulkbuster program hoping to cure Bruce Banner of the curse that afflicted him, he secretly harbored a scientist's curiosity. He wanted to know what made the monster hidden inside Banner tick, and he suspected that the HULK was more a creation of mind more than of modern sciences. Exposing himself to gamma radiation siphoned off the HULK, he found his theories at least partially borne out as his healthy self-image and unified psyche led to a remarkable physical change without the mental impact of other gamma-irradiation cases. Since his change, DOC SAMSON has dedicated his life to helping the HULK and Bruce Banner finally to live together as one mind and one body.

It's not enough to have puny Banner constantly rattling around inside his head, now the HULK has to deal with the Green Goliath constantly trying to rip his way free. The HULK just wants to be left alone, but with Betty, Rick, and Marlo constantly pestering him from one side, and Banner and his gamma-green alter-ego bugging him on the other, he gets no peace. It's enough to make you want to just start smashing things, and keep going until there's nothing left. If everyone doesn't just shut up soon, that's exactly what's gonna happen too.

Last survivor of a wasted world, the HULK wanders. He is plagued by memories, and by the constant presence of puny Banner, locked within. His only companions on an Earth destroyed by human arrogance are the mutant cockroaches that feed on his indestructible body. As he rages across the face of his empty world, he can feel the aged Banner inside, growing weaker and weaker, but the Hulk isn't ready to give up. Even as Banner's strength fails and the man within passes on, the HULK persists, for with Banner gone he is finally, truly alone.

The Red King is dead and Sakaar is, at long last, at peace. The Green Scar sits the throne, with the Oldstrong Queen at his right hand, and the Spikes, allies on his left. Though many have suffered and much has been lost, those who have seen the Green Scar believe a golden age is at hand. Even so, there is much work to be done. What the Red King and his Death Heads destroyed must be rebuilt. Treaties must be made with the Wildebots out in the wastes, and the Spikes must be returned to their home amoung the stars. One thing, however, is certain; the world is safe, encircled by the mighty arms of Holku, and nothing will ever again threaten the peace of Sakaar.

Even before she first turned into the savage SHE-HULK, Jennifer Walters was saved at least twice by the superhuman status of her cousin Bruce. After Bruce was forced to save her life, she manifested the ability to mutate into the raging female answer to the Green Goliath himself. However, without the mental baggage borne by her cousin, Jen quickly gained control of her super-human alter-ego, and now Jennifer Walters and the SHE-HULK are one and the same. Just recently, the disappearance of the Hulk has left Jen in the unfortunate position of trying to fill her cousin's sizable shoes, and she's faced threats as great as the ABOMINATION and WENDIGO.

Only son of the HULK and the Sakaarian Show Warrior, Caiera the Oldstrong, the SON OF HULK was abandoned and left for dead by his father after his mother was killed while he was still in the womb. Even as a mass of undifferentiated cells invisible to the naked eye, the nearly unlimited power of his parents manifested, keeping him alive, sustaining him, letting him grow into the boy that thrived amoung the shattered remains of the world of Sakaar. Influenced by the mingling of his father's gamma power with the ancient Old Power of his mother, he grew rapidly into the young man that emerged from the wilds to battle the clashing tribes of survivors, and learn about the legacy left by his legendary parents.

Ancient legends tell of an evil that falls upon only the most cursed of men. The native people of North America speak in whispers, late at night, about the terrible spirit of the WENDIGO, a ravenous creature who lives only to kill, and to feed. The strength of the creature is the strength of demons, and its endurance is that of a spirit, for in reality it is demon and spirit both. Those unlucky enough to be afflicted with the curse of the WENDIGO never know rest, and never know satisfaction, for they are doomed to hunt and to feed without cessation until a strenth greater than theirs can lay them low.
