The Hulk's Warbound
The Warbound.
During his training on the gladiator pits on the Planet
Sakaar, the Hulk was grouped with four of enslaved combatants. Hiroim, an
outcast Shadow Sakaarian Priest, Mike an unhived Native insectoid, No-Name, the
surviving member of an exterminated brood. Elloe Kaifi and Levin Skee both
Sakaarian natives And Korg a Kronan warrior.
Forced to fight in the Red Kings arena, the group proved to
be a fearsome force, powered by the Hulk and powerful Korg. They defeated
several awesome opponents and learned to trust each other.
They formed a sacred bound to protect and trust each other against
all others, an act which involved the inhaling Miek’s chemical pheromones.
Called cheming.
They were later joined by the Caeria the former Shadow of
the Red King.
After the defeat of the Red King, The Hulk and Caeira
married and the Kingdom was in relative peace under their rule.
However the Quinn jet that had brought the Hulk to Sakaar ,
exploded killing millions of Sakaarians and the now pregnant Caeira. The event effectively
destroyed the planet.
The enraged Hulk gathered his Warbound and launched an assault
on Earth in the events that would be known as World War Hulk.
the Warbound agreed to assist the Hulk in his plan of
revenge against those responsible for his exile, the Illuminati.
His first stop was Earth's Moon, where he was able to
extract revenge against the first of his chosen adversaries, Black Bolt, the
inhuman king.
They then traveled to Earth and defeated a squadron of
remote operated Iran Man robots. And began to capture those the Hulk had
personal anger toward.
It was revealed to the Hulk that the event that destroyed
Sakaar was caused by Red King loyalist, not the Illuminati. Miek had known and
observed the bombs being planted but said nothing because he wanted to remind
the Hulk that he was a warrior.
The Hulk and No-Name attacked and nearly killed Miek on learning
this. The Warbound surrendered and the War was ended.
They were held in SHIELD custody for a time but eventually escaped.
Hiroim was killed in a following mission.
Before he died, he bequeathed his Oldstrong powers to SHIELD
agent Kate Waynesboro, who subsequently joined the Warbound.
