History

Galactus came to Earth once again, and this time the heroes had no way of stopping him. Galactus promised to spare the world if their powerful warrior was given to him as herald. They offered up Bruce Banner without consulting him, and Banner agreed, rationalizing that the Earth would forever be spared from the Hulk, who would only bring destruction to worlds already doomed. Empowered by Power Cosmic, Banner spent years as Galactus's heralds, during which he would send designs for colony ships to planets chosen in advance, so that they could save at least a portion of their population. Galactus tolerated the evacuation projects as long as they did not interfere with his herald's duties.

As Banner

On Elysion-3, Banner unexpectedly met the Avengers whom he had not seen in years. Tony Stark tried to talk Banner into standing up to Galactus, but was called a hypocrite for only caring about non-Earth planet when it was important to current galactic policies. They fought, and the Hulk inadvertently threw Tony through the colony ship, disabling it and ruining all hopes of evacuation. He prepared to kill Stark, who confessed that it was them who gave Bruce up as a herald in the first place and reminded him that the Hulk had no master. Enraged, the Hulk went to confront Galactus.
