Early Life[]

Korg is aKronan born on the planetRia. He and his brothersMargus andArd were part of an invasion force sent to conquer the planetEarth.^[7]

Meeting Thor[]

While Korg's people were based on the planetSaturn, they were advanced scouts for the planned invasion. They landed inNorway and frightened a local life form. The human tried to warn his people, but they dismissed him. One human overheard and gone to look for himself. When he stepped on a twig, the aliens noticed him. He fled into the hills, where he lost his cane. However the human returned but now in the form ofThor, where he easily lifted the boulder and left the cave. He verified that the hammer had all the powers ofMjolnir, Thor's legendary weapon. Meanwhile, the Kronan armada showed up on Earth's radar screens. When fighter jets scrambled to meet them, they projected an image of a huge dragon and frightened away the pilots. When the ground forces fired missiles, they exploded harmlessly against the ships' force fields. Thor sped to the defense of the Earth. When Thor attacked the Kronans, they dropped a cage over him, but he tore the bars open. They aimed their disintegration beams at him, but his hammer smashed their guns. They unleashed theirMechano Monster, but he smashed it to bits. The Kronans returned to their ships and gave up their invasion.^[7]

Sakaar[]

As their fleet fled back to their homeworld, the ship that held Korg, Margus, and several other Kronan soldiers drifted off-course and was pulled into a mysterious wormhole, crash landing on the harsh desert world ofSakaar. Korg and Margus were enslaved by theSakaar Empire. They were separated while being trained for gladiatorial combat. Korg was placed on the same team as theHulk, who has also ended up enslaved on Sakaar after being exiled from Earth. In his first battle at the arena Korg had to kill Margus. Along with Hulk and rest of his team, Korg was freed by theSilver Surfer and continued to aid the Hulk and the rest of hisWarbound in freeing Sakaar from its Emperor until the planets destruction.^[8]

Korg has become one of the Hulk's most reliable allies. He was one of the few who survived Sakaar's destruction. He accompanied the Hulk to Earth to get revenge upon theIlluminati, a secret cabal of heroes responsible for the Hulk's exile. While the Hulk threatened to destroyNew York City, Korg attempted to broach communication with Earth's civilian populace. When he discovered that his Warbound ally,Arch-E-5912 had been murdered, Korg warned the New York City police department that he would aggressively investigate the matter until the killer could be identified.^[2]

After Korg,Kate Waynesboro and the Warbound were teleported inNew Mexico by theLeader, Korg and his allies stopped the villain's plans, but only at the cost ofHiroim's life.^[9]
