History

The Warbound are a group of interplanetary refugees late of the planet Sakaar. Led by the exiled Earth champion, the Hulk, the Warbound agreed to assist the Hulk in his plan of revenge against those responsible for his exile, the Illuminati. Piloting an Earthen ship, the Warbound brought the Hulk from Sakaar to Earth's Moon, where he was able to extract revenge against the first of his chosen adversaries, Black Bolt. They then brought him to Earth, where they destroyed a squadron of remote-controlled Iron Man robots.

Eventually the Warbound helped to defeat some of the heroes, bringing them to Madison Square Garden so that all of Earth could witness the defeat of the Illuminati. However, when the final battle between the Hulk and the Sentry began to cause serious damage, the Warbound instead collaborated with the heroes to help the civilians evacuate, the Warbound being unwilling to witness another world die. But soon Miek's treachery of genocidal negligence was revealed, as he had merely observed and done nothing while loyalist followers of the Red King planted bombs that initially triggered the destruction of Sakaar and caused the Hulk's crusade of revenge. He had not intervened because he believed that it was necessary to 'remind' the Hulk that he was a killer instead of a peacemaker. The Hulk and No-Name nearly killed him upon learning of this, and the surviving Warbound subsequently surrendered to the government with the Hulk's defeat. They were held in custody by S.H.I.E.L.D but subsequently escaped after Hiroim (with help from Korg and the Thing) prevented Manhattan from breaking in two.

After the Warbound evaded S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capture, they were teleported to New Mexico by the Leader, who used Hiroim's tectonic power to activate a Gamma-powered shield, over a large portion of the desert. They awerebeing chased by S.H.I.E.L.D using information given by an incapacitated and incarcerated Miek to SHIELD Agent Kate Waynesboro. Trapped inside Gammaworld, the Warbound joined forces with a local US Army company to save a nearby town from irradiated (and thus huge) insects, and began to feel the effects of the gamma radiation themselves. Using Hiriom's Oldstrong power, the group managed to dispel some of the radiation, opening a gap in the Gammaworld dome for the civilians to escape through, but were interrupted by the arrival of a huge, gamma-powered gestalt being composed of numerous townsfolk and a dog fused together by the radiation. The creature, known as Horde, attempted to destroy everyone who tried to leave, but was fended off by Agent Waynesboro, and as the Warbound attacked the Leader, Hiroim told Korg to kill him in order to destroy the dome. Korg then shattered Hiroim and the dome dissipated; however Hiroim reformed along with the dome. The group were then attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D. sentry robots, which had been placed under the Leader's control. In the ensuing battle, Elloe stabbed the Leader in the chest. The Leader then absorbed the Dome's power, turning into a gray skinned giant. Hiroim stopped him, killing himself in the process. Before dying he passed on his old power to Kate, who protected the remaining people from an attacking monster.
