History
Brutal was a human gamma mutate that lived on an unnamed world that worshiped the Hulk as a god. When the Hulk arrived on his planet and agreed to play in the planet's Godball ritual, Brutal took an immediate dislike of Hulk due to being smaller than Brutal and his people.
When they first began playing, Brutal was able to get the better of Hulk. When Hulk began powering up due to his anger, Hulk started to match Brutal. So, Brutal attacked the technology that allowed Bruce Banner to control Hulk while chastising Hulk's use of such technology. Hulk fought back and used Brutal as a makeshift bat to hit the Godball into orbit and score three points at once. When Hulk and Pave returned with a new Godball after Pave earlier ruined the previous one, Hulk gained Brutal's respect.[1]
Brutal and Pave later helped Monolith capture Hulk and remove the cybernetics Bruce Banner placed on the Hulk so Banner could be eliminated and Hulk could rule their world. However, the villainous Titan persona was in control of Hulk and unleashed a gargantuan energy blast.[2] The blast devastated the entire planet, killing many of its inhabitants. Brutal was one of the survivors and attacked the Titan-possessed Hulk, but Titan skewered Brutal with his claws and then killed Brutal by draining him of his gamma energy.[3]
