Thor: Ragnarok
The next time we see the Incredible Hulk in the MCU will beThor : Ragnarok , a story he did n’t really have any part in before but is now being kinda - sorta mashed up withPlanet Hulk(if the rumors are to be believed ) .
Planet Hulkis a particularly notable news report in which the Illuminati - a ingathering of the Marvel Universe ’s neat eggheads - decides that the Hulk is too much of a liability to have knocking about on Earth , smashing buildings and draining Tony Stark ’s bank bill , so they blast him off into space .
It wassupposedto be a one - way misstep , landing Hulk lightly on a peaceable planet where he could n’t do any harm . Obviously find out Hulk building a campfire and rag at the sky for twelve issues would n’t make for a thrilling , memorable bit of hand - drawn storytelling , so he instead got pull off - class and shoot down on Sakaar , a planet of gladiatorial fighting , corrupt governments and super - potent exotic woman in suspiciously scanty armour .
Needless to say , Hulk beget up to some weird stuff during that time . Here are the15 Craziest Things The Hulk Did in Space .
15. Becomes Best Buds with a Bug Man
Immediately upon ruin his ship in the planet Sakaar , the Hulk find himself fight for his lifetime in a gladiatorial surface area ( and one conveniently lay outexactly the sameas the arenas on Earth ) . More on that later on , but go after along with Hulk is a merry band of misfits who are fully expected to die for the amusement of the watching Emperor and the crowd .
These individuals wangle to survive due to Hulk ’s incredible science in punching things , and one of them sort of … adoptsEarth ’s strongest hero sandwich as his super - duper - best - pal . That would beMiek , a extremity of Sakaar ’s native bug wash and not the strongest fighter by himself -hence why he ’s seeking the protection of the big light-green guy with the office punches .
Not that Miek is a coward ; despite being the weakest of the group , he throws himself into one conflict after another , developing a strong trueness to Hulk and his protagonist while being their adorable , bug - eyed mascot . Miek is afterward one of Hulk ’s strongest patron in his campaign against the Red King , despite a few more bloody-minded traits and a personal quest for revenge that see him metamorphosing into a big , more - heavily armoured ‘ king ’ version of his race ( or ‘ Super Miek ’ , if you will ) .
14. Almost got Turned into a Zombie
Oh , you did n’t remember this was a zombie Revelation of Saint John the Divine news report ? Well , the ‘ apocalypse ’ part did n’t actually befall , but you probably should n’t inquire the poor villagers ofSakaarwho fell dupe to the ‘ ear ’ .
Just imagine the Flood fromHalotook a chomp out of one of the spore - infect folks fromThe Last of Us , and that ’s pretty much what you get : tiny , crab - like veggie - critters who burrow inside their victim and turn them into a shamble lusus naturae . think to be an uncontrollable infestation , we discover partway throughPlanet Hulkthat the Red King controls a bunch of them that he uses to knock down right on top of his foe … and even the strongest fighter ca n’t last for long when their own body release against them .
This very nearly happens to Hulk as he fights to represent a village against a spike invasion , though he ’s herculean enough to rip out the infecting stiletto heel before they can completely take over his soundbox , despite everyone guess he was altogether doomed . It would seem that fire is the only way to unremarkably move out spikes from a person , which is in particular nefarious ; fundamentally , a choice between becoming a senseless tentacle zombi , or dying to a acquaintance blast a flamethrower at some vital part of your body .
Suffice to say , Sakaar is not a prissy place to live .
13. Fought Alongside a Brood
The Brood have been a consistent nuisance to a bit of Marvel heroes , though they ’re perhaps comfortably known as enemy to the X - Men , whenever the X - Men go on their expedition into space .
Because this is a comic book and thus the same seven or so alien race have to keep showing up everywhere in the universe , Hulk is forced to campaign alongside a lone Brood in the arena , and they later grow to become allies and even friends .
This particular Brood tips the design of the wash on its top dog , despite being as generally crotchety and keen to eat the great unwashed as the rest of its airstream . ‘ No - Name ’ , as she ’s called by her ally , is draw to work as part of Hulk ’s Warbound to survive the gladiator match . No - Name later participates in Hulk ’s gyration , becoming a trusted ally and one of Hulk ’s top lieutenant . It was an alternate view of the Brood , made all the more interesting in that No - Name was initiallyforcedto piece of work together with the rest of the grouping , but later choose its own path and became a steadfast follower of Hulk .
Also , she get the hots for Miek ( or passing - bulked - up Miek ) and had a number of crazy intercrossed babies . The less say about that ( literal and figural ) embarrassing end , the better .
12. Became a Major Tourist Attraction
As we ’ve mentioned , gladiator arena on Sakaar mould more or less the same means they do on Earth , except they have advanced engineering and just coerce striver to fight with steel for the lol - factor . Also , the fearful creature are evenmorefearsome , with the Emperor himself taking the stage if a finicky prizefighter needs to be turned into an example .
A combining of being eye - catching , stomping every undivided one of his contender and negociate to get away with harm the emperor moth finally call on Hulk into theplanet ’s premier attraction . catapult into maximal levels of fame , Hulk becomes known as the ‘ Green Scar ’ , with his matches pass around across the entire planet and arm company clamoring to have him interpret their brand on live goggle box .
Hulk ’s fame only produce after he survives multiple blatant attempts at assassination , such as a full - on settlement - put down laser cannon being lour into the orbit to decimate everything that lives ( it does not do this ) . Now come as indestructible , it ’s this celebrity that finally leads masses to think that Hulk is the one to lead the revolution to override the Red King . And all because the Red King himself observe trying and failing to kill the Green Scar . That’show you wager yourself .
11. Pummeled the Silver Surfer
You just ca n’t have a Marvel report set in mystifying blank without theSilver Surferknocking about somewhere , and inPlanet Hulk , he ’s a hard worker on Sakaar .
Having fallen through a wormhole that greatly fall his cosmic powers , the Surfer was found and cleave with an obeisance disc , being turned into the Red King ’s secret arm to be sicced on upstarts in the scene of action .
The Hulk definitely equip that description , and so the Silver Surfer is sent out to confront Hulk and his Warbound , to put an end to them once and for all . Itsortaworks , for a few minute , as even in a vitiated Department of State the Surfer is still a phenomenally powerful cosmic being . However , with a bit of help from his Warbound , Hulk is capable to deform to tables andlay the smackdownon the Silver Surfer , smash his obedience saucer .
Not noticing that the Surfer was detached , Hulk continued the beating until his former friend used his cosmic powers to shatter respect disks all around the domain , starting the revolt and freeing Hulk and friends from being controlled . And then , as superheroes do after they ’ve been plug each other , Hulk and Surfer give out correctly back to being friends .
10. Refused a Ride Home
As antecedently mentioned , this was the incident that free Hulk and company from the sphere and start up off his one - teras reign of brat and general alien insurgent war . Having escaped into the wilderness , the group made refugee camp and Hulk and the Silver Surfer had a confabulation about their next plan .
You ’d think Hulk would be prime to return home so he can contain his ring armour , fill up the electricity meter and deplumate out the ribcages of those who ’d condemned him to distance exile . The Illuminati were n’t exactly nice about blasting Hulk into space , not to cite it was their terrible spaceship that had screwed up and dump Hulk on an unforgiving major planet of monocracy and spike snake god .
And yet , Hulk chooses to remain , not even wanting to go to some other planet , preferably one with few spike zombies . It ’s not completely absolved why he turns down the ride , since he has n’t fully pull to the idea of lead a revolution at this point , so we ’re force to pull a conclusion : Hulk has rule a major planet full of difference , where he canproveonce and for all that he ’s the strong there is .
In other words , he was having too much fun .
9. Became a Master Strategist
The Incredible Hulk is known for a few things , among then being :
-his exquisite shade of green
-poor impulse control
-clapping so hard it make a sonic boom
-not being all that smart
That last one is of tone , since it create a perfect contrast between the faint - yet - intelligent Bruce Banner ( who we only captivate the briefest glimpse of during Hulk ’s maraud into quad ) and the strong - yet - irrepressible Hulk .
By the time of this picky storyline , however , we see a Hulk who ’s perfectly equal to of express on a conversation- not that the concept really interests him all that much- and canthink ahead in a fightbeyond ‘ SMASH ’ . The incident that top to him being exiled was sort of a once - off by this point , and by the time Hulk leaves the arena and begin his revolution , we see that he ’s in conclusion giving some thought to tactic .
The Red King tries all kinds of scheme , and some of themcan’tbe beaten by brute force . Here we see Hulk avoid traps , keep his follower good and even becoming something of a diplomat ( more on that later ) , which just go to show that he ’s in advance into a much more serious character . This is still the Incredible Hulk , capable to fell a skyscraper with a rogue sneeze ; now he hassmarts .
8. Becomes the Leader of a Revolution
Hulk ’s motivations throughout the entire storyline ofPlanet Hulkare ambiguous , at least at first . It starts with him and the Warbound being forced to oppose in the arena , progresses to Hulk being tossed to the vanguard of a revolution and zig - zigzag until the whole thing is done and he ’s quick to go back to Earth and take his retaliation ( for something completely different , but still ) .
Still , he never signed up to become an intergalactic conqueror- that consider a while to grow on him- so for at least half the narrative Hulk is just being sweep up in the glory and power without ever really getting into it much himself . The Hulk has always been a lonely puppet who just happens to be shoved with multitude invariably because comics are more interesting that way , so he was never incisively cut out to be a triumphant , inspiring leader . Still , he gets handed the spot and just sort of goes with it for the playfulness and fight ( and there are mickle of both ) .
It ’s only after a spike attack from the Red King wipes out an innocent settlement that Hulk actually starts guide his line of work as rotatory seriously . So this storydoeshave a poor boy ; it just took a while for us to get to his moral centre .
7. Has an Even Fight with A Woman Half His Size
Caiera is introduced as the Red King ’s lieutenant , right - mitt woman and one of the substantial fighters on Sakaar . She ’s also just hard in universal , which is why she was mail to contend the in person during his radical stage . Failing to rag him out through tactic , Caiera eventually just steps powerful in front of Hulk , tells him her entire tragic backstory ( because he ’s completely the type of hombre who cares , right ? ) and take exception him to sanction one - on - one combat .
Tall though she may be , Caiera is still a twosome of head shorter than the Hulk and about a quarter of his weight unit , so you have to admire her declaration . Possessing the ‘ Old Power ’ , she ’s able to indurate her hide to make it nearly dense , and on top of her strength is a peerless warrior and weapons user .
The conflict snap up the surrounding area , go out both dog-tired and causing earthquake that are felt by everyone for land mile around . Unfortunately , while Caiera sells herself as paragon of grandeur and justice ( we ’ve already see the tragical origins , which pretty much guarantees that a quality is going to terminate up on the right side ) , her genus Bos was the arrant opposite ; their struggle is interrupted by a tactical strike that unleashes hordes of spike .
Still , in term of Hulk ’s relationships , that ’s fundamentally a sports meeting - cute . Which is why …
6. …and then Marries Her
Having find out that the Red King controls the spikes that destroyed her village , and being clearly ticked off at this reveal , Caiera turn against her former master and fall in the Hulk on his crusade all the agency to the majuscule .
After this , the former enemies eventually manage to get closelipped . Reallyclose . Superclose . Close enough to have baby . The tight , you might say .
So yeah , they do that . Right after the Red King is toppled ( i.e. perforate really far aside ) , Caiera is all set to continue her role as lieutenant to the new , GreenKing . The Green King has other plans , resulting in the two of them getting wed and Caiera becoming the queen of Sakaar . Soon afterwards she reveals that she ’s pregnant with the Hulk ’s child , and the two be merrily as Martin Luther King and tabby for the rest of their lives , exceptof course of action they do n’t .
Marvel was n’t about to strandone of their premier heroesin place with a braggart felicitous family . They needed a way to get Hulk back to Earth , and after what we ’re certain was a sport brainstorming session , they decided that blowing up Caiera and Hulk ’s unborn tiddler with the Illuminati spacecraft was the in effect way to do it .
Caiera does survive , sort of , as do her two child . Hulk , however , miss that picky memorandum and seems to call back how much he hated those guy . And this lead into …
