Elloe Kaifi is a fictional character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics, primarily in association with theHulk. She was introduced in 2006 as part of thePlanet Hulk storyline, and was created byGreg Pak andCarlo Pagulayan.
Prior to the events ofPlanet Hulk, Elloe Kaifi was the daughter of Ronan Kaifi, a member of a high-ranking family on the planet Sakaar. Enjoying a relatively carefree life for most of her early years, Elloe's life changed when her father spoke out against theRed King, resulting in his titles being stripped from him and he, his daughter and her bodyguard Lavin Skee being sent to the gladiator training school, the Maw. When her father protested at his treatment, he was killed by the guards shortly before the training battle began, of which Elloe and Lavin were two of the seven survivors. Initially lacking combat skills, Elloe received training from Skee before she left the group to try to aid rebels in an attack on the emperor.[volume & issue needed]
After she and her fellow rebels were captured and brought before her former comrades in the arena, the gladiators were ordered to kill Elloe and the others to earn their freedom.Hiroim revealed that Lavin Skee had been killed in battle earlier, and that the others had formed a Warbound Pact; thus, since Skee had served Elloe, the Warbound could not kill her without violating their oath. Although their obedience discs were activated, the Warbound were freed when the Surfer destroyed the discs, allowing them to escape and begin a rebellion against the Red King.[1]
Although physically the weakest member of the Warbound, Elloe remained one of the members most dedicated to the death of the Red King. However, she retained her old family loyalties; after the Red King was killed in a fight with theHulk and her mother was discovered to be one of the King's remaining supporters, Elloe fought against fellow WarboundMiek before Hulk told both of them to cease.[volume & issue needed]
Following the destruction of Sakaar, Elloe travelled to Earth with the remaining members of the Warbound to seek revenge on theIlluminati who exiled Hulk. During the fight with theAvengers, Elloe takes downSpider-Man. Later she is shown working alongside Hiroim to captureDoctor Strange, where she defeatedRonin andEcho, who were soon electrocuted by the others soldiers while Hiroim easily bestedIron Fist. After this fast fight, Hiroim says to Elloe to take the trio to the arena while he attacks Doctor Strange, although he was defeated by the Sorcerer Supreme before he went on to confront the Hulk.[volume & issue needed]
At the arena, Elloe is almost slain by the infiltrating heroCloud 9. She is saved when Cloud 9's companions talk her out of completing her actions.[2]
InWorld War Hulk's "Aftersmash" one-shot followup, Elloe is heavily wounded, impaled on a spear to end hostilities between Sakaarians and Hivelings, who had been killing each other over Miek's complicity in the destruction of Sakaar. It is also revealed that though she was not part of Miek's betrayal, she had harbored a shameful secret in that part of her was glad when Crown City was destroyed, because it gave her an excuse to give in to her anger and hatred.
She is shown alive, but gravely injured with the remaining Warbound when they are transported to Gammaworld, a massive energy dome placed over the Southwestern United States by theLeader. Elloe's injuries were then healed byKate Waynesboro administering medical nanites, her own alien physiology, and the gamma radiation.[3]
DuringCivil War II, Elloe Kaifi is with the Warbound when they learn thatHawkeye has killed Bruce Banner as part of a contingency plan.[4]
An alternate universe variant of Elloe Kaifi appears inMarvel Zombies Return #4.[5]
Elloe Kaifi was featured in several issues ofWhat If:
Because of her training for the Olympia Imperia, Elloe possesses the physical conditioning, stamina, dexterity and agility of a top athlete. She is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant due to her training.[6]
