Arch-E-5912 in the slave pits of Sakaar, from “Incredible Hulk†#93
|
Greetings, rebels and revolutionaries of Planet Sakaar! My name is Arch-E-5912. I’m a communications bot and former slave who now serves the Green Scar, aka the Incredible Hulk, as he leads his band of gladiators and refugees in battle against the oppressive Imperial forces of the Red King.
Because of my ability to create encrypted data streams, I’ve been tasked with communicating with the outside world, providing potential allies like yourself with the chance to meet members of the Hulk’s crew and ask whatever questions you may have about the Green Scar and our struggle against the Emperor.

The Green Scar does what the Green Scar does best, from “Incredible Hulk†#97, hitting stores Wednesday’

So please, post your questions on this interactive device I call a "message board." I’ll return in two weeks with a new report containing all the answers I’ve been able to collect from our crew. In the meantime, here’s a missive describing our current status from one of the Hulk’s closest gladiator allies:

Elloe Kaifi, from “Incredible Hulk†#97
|
Greetings, Sons of Sakaar. I am Elloe Kaifi, daughter of Community Representative Ronan Kaifi, who was murdered in the Maw by the Emperor’s minions. Once I was like you, quiet and obedient, turning my eyes from the horrors that our Emperor perpetrated every day. But I’ve seen my own father imprisoned and killed for merely questioning the Red King’s policies. I’ve seen Wildebots slaughter children while the Red King’s lackeys just laughed. I’ve seen innocent Imperial farmers murdered in cold blood by Imperial soldiers. And I weep with shame for the silence I once kept.
You may have heard the collaborationists amongst you say that all we rebels want is to be left alone, that all you need to do is sit by, let us disappear into the Steppes, and life will return to normal. But those traitors are wrong. We will not — we cannot disappear. Not while the Red King rules. Because his hunger for power and blood will never stop. And if you’re foolish enough to stand by him, you’ll deserve what you get when he burns you in the streets.

The Emperor and a few of his subjects, from “Incredible Hulk†#97, hitting stores Wednesday
|
Do you still doubt his wickedness and our determination? Then let me tell you the story of our latest adventure.
After breaking out of the Great Arena with his band of warbound gladiator allies, the Green Scar led us to a small village to regroup and train. Miek, the scrappy Native who has been the Hulk’s closest companion from the beginning, revealed that the headman of the town was the Imperial soldier who exterminated Miek’s> hive years before. Some within the ranks believed Miek should forego his vengeance in hopes of forming an alliance with the villagers. But the Green Scar saw true. He told Miek that in >Miek’s> skin, he’d "never stop making them pay."

Miek and the Green Scar, from “Incredible Hulk†#96

Miek was young. Weak. He let the Headman live. But then we discovered that the villagers had been hiding Miek’s enslaved brothers in an underground pit. Chained for years like animals in the darkness and filth.
We razed the town and left the puny pinkies weeping in the ashes.
So let the Imperials know — the next step in our struggle comes soon — let the killer of my father beware! For we remember. And we do not forgive.
Now this is your chance to ask whatever you want of those of us who follow the Green Scar. So ask. Learn what you need. And then join us. Because when the end comes, and this world is saved or destroyed, you’ll want to live or die knowing that when your time came, you did the right thing.
