it’s no secret that the Hulk is an
unstoppable destructive force of nature
his extraordinary strength and shall we
say timber problems have caused more
collateral damage over the years than
any military weapon could ever hope to
achieve the final nail in the coffin was
when the Jade giant lost control in Las
Vegas practically leveling the entire
city the Illuminati
a group that actually consisted of Tony
Stark Reed Richards Stephen strange
Charles Xavier Namor and Black Bolt all
came to the conclusion that the Hulk had
become too high of a risk to keep around
any longer they tricked the hull sending
him into orbit for a mission than
launching him through a wormhole rather
than having him return home the initial
plan was to send him to a lush planet
without any intelligent life where he
wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone else
however a navigational error sent Hulk
to the planet sakaar upon his arrival
the Hulk was confronted by a savage
alien race and was quickly incapacitated
before long the green Goliath found
himself tagged by a device known as an
obedience disk and forced into tense
gladiator matches to entertain sukar’s
Emperor the Red King he was tasked with
surviving three rounds in the arena if
he was successful he would be freed the
Hulk wasn’t alone in this pickle though
as there he formed a desperate alliance
with other combatants meek and insect
white sack our native Loa Chi fee a

levansky eloise bodyguard korg a cronin

vegetation to grow on Sekar his actions
and unrivaled strength were noticed by
eras
distance group known as the Sekar
Democratic insurgency who tracked him
down and attempted to enlist him into
their rebellion however he chooses to
decline their offer and instead
continues to fight in the arena however
loa decides to abandon the group and is
taken into custody along with many of
the other rebels by the imperial
death’s-head guard later in the arena
the Red King decides to drop a bomb on
the Hulk and his fellow gladiators quite
literally the Hulk leaps into the air
and takes the bulk of the explosion
saving his friends Levinsky is wounded
in the ensuing battle and later dies
from his wounds inspiring the remaining
gladiators to form the warbound a sacred
bond between warriors the Red King pits
the Hulk and his warbound against none
other than the Silver Surfer who has
also quints identity been marked by an
obedience disk in their third and final
round in the arena after a vicious
struggle The Hulk happens to destroy the
surfers obedience disk thus freeing him
from the shackles of the Red King but
that doesn’t stop the Hulk from
continuing to kind of smash him with the
final round over Hulk and his crew
expect their freedom but the red King’s
top lieutenant Kiera presents one more
test execute the captured rebels
including their friend Elle away and
then Delpy let free they obviously
refuse and just in the nick of time
the surfer removes the obedience disks
of all the other gladiators finally
fully freed the Hulk and his warbound
tear through the walls of the Coliseum
to their freedom the serf offers to take
the Hulk with him on his return to the
cosmos but the Hulk decides to stay on
Sekar free from their obedience disks
Hulk and his companions are now on the
run with Kiera in hot pursuit
in his travels the Hulk frees slaves and
meets many inhabitants of Sekar who
claimed that he exhibits qualities of a
hero of legend a figure who would rise
up and become the savior of the people
of this world known as Sekar son but
Hulk has no interest in puny legends and
make-believe so he ventures on
eventually clashing with Chi era in a
deadly battle however their skirmish is
interrupted in a sudden bombardment of
spores ones that caused freakish
mutations and grisly deaths to anyone
may impale turning them into spikes it’s
revealed that the Red King launched
these weapons to stop the Hulk knowing
full-well Chi era was in the area
horrified by this revelation Kiera joins
the Hulk to spite her former master the
Hulk in caiera rallied together an
assault on the red King’s capital
culminating a final showdown between the
big bad and the big green the Hulk comes
out on top taking the throne and Kiara
as his wife
Hulk briefly lets Bruce Banner take
control for a brief moment and a
monument is built in the city from the
ship which the Hulk first arrived in it
seems like they would all live happily
ever after but unfortunately the warp
engine in the ship that brought Hulk to
Sekar malfunctions and explodes in a
fiery blaze obliterating basically the
entire city almost everyone is killed in
the blast
including the Hulk’s Queen Kiara who had
become pregnant with his child it should
be expected that the Hulk’s good old
anger issues kicked in big time after
that as he blamed the heroes of Earth
for what had just happened in his fury
the Hulk’s next move along with his
warbound is an all-out attack on earth
in an act of vengeance for what happened
but that is a whole other story do you
