After the destruction during Ultron Era, the Illuminati sent Hulk away from Earth and crash-land on the alien world of Sakaar. There, Hulk was forced to battle for his life in a gladiatorial arena, all for the amusement of Sakaar's bloodthirsty emperor, a tyrant known as the Red King. The Hulk fights Hercules in the arena. The fight stops at a draw but the Red King tells Hulk to finish him, instead Hulk leads a revolt against the Red King. Hercules leaves the planet and Hulk stays. Hulk has a kid with Caiera the Oldstrong one of the gladiators he befriended. The ship that brought him there blew up killing his wife and thousands others. Skaar, Mike, and Hulk are the only survivors.
