🔴MCU Fans Finally Get the PLANET HULK They Deserve in Movie-Quality Fanart🔴
0The Hulk has few stories more iconic than 2006's Planet Hulk, and yet MCU fans only got a heavily truncated version of the adventure. Now, awesome fanart recreates the iconic imagery of the Green Goliath's space epic, showing what could have been if Marvel had been willing to give Hulk a solo movie.
Epic art shared to Instagram by bosslogic shows the Hulk in space, surrounded by a shattered planet. The muted tones only make the blood on Hulk's hands more apparent, and the image immediately brings to mind the Planet Hulk epic and the mythic name that dogs Hulk throughout his adventures on the planet Sakaar - that he will one day shatter the world, becoming the Worldbreaker.
While elements of Planet Hulk were included in Thor: Ragnarok, the film only really saw Hulk become a gladiator, whereas in the comic event he develops a new persona known as the Green Scar, rises from gladiator to the ruler of Sakaar, falls in love with Caiera Oldstrong, and makes a key alliance with the Warbound, who remain his allies in the comics to this day. Running through Incredible Hulk #92-105, Planet Hulk came from Greg Pak, Carlo Pagulayan and Aaron Lopresti.
Planet Hulk Turned Hulk into the Worldbreaker
Hulk's Gladiator Epic Took Him from Lowly Gladiator to Beloved King ... Then Lower Than Ever
Planet Hulk begins with the Illuminati deciding that Hulk is too dangerous to remain on Earth, and the influential heroes decide to maroon him on an unpopulated world where he can be at peace. Sadly, unexpected events lead him to crash-land on Sakaar instead - a planet trapped under the oppressive thumb of the Red King, who uses 'Obedience Disks' to force any potential threat into his service as an unwilling gladiator. However, Hulk becomes a folk champion through the games, gathering a cadre of warriors around him: the stone-skinned warrior Hiroim, former Thor enemy Korg the Kronan, former aristocrat Elloe Kaifi, a nameless Brood predator, and Miek - an insectoid alien whose species have been hunted to extinction by the Red King.
