Unfortunately, one of them ultimately betrays Hulk and his newfound empire. Together, they form the 'Warbound,' a group of comrades honor-bound to fight alongside one another until death. Hulk also rallies a number of other strong, accomplished warriors to his side, including Miek, a Brood, Elloe Kaifi, Lavin Skee, Hiroim and Korg. His chief lieutenant is Caiera, a skilled warrior who eventually defects to Hulk's side and even falls in love with the refugee Earthling. Like an old-fashioned Roman Emperor, the Red King lords over Sakaar and leads a hedonistic lifestyle while he forces slaves to fight and die for his amusement. The Red King is the main villain of Planet Hulk. In the process, Sakaar's natives come to believe Hulk is the Sakaarson, a savior prophesied to rescue their world. While not as intelligent as Bruce Banner, the Green Scar Hulk proves cunning enough to unite a planet and become the new emperor of Sakaar. The story offers a fairly unique take on Hulk, as the intense radiation of his interstellar journey boosted Hulk's strength and gave rise to a new persona known as the Green Scar.
