Whooboy!

It started with the Illuminati. Apparently, since the early days of Marvel, there has been a secret group of superheroes who come togethor every so often to examine the broader implications of the super-powered world, and if necessary, take action. They are Dr. Strange, Professor X, Iron Man, Prince Namor, Reed Richards and Black Bolt. After 90% of Earth's mutants were de-powered after the House of M storyline, certain members of the Illuminati, (all but Namor,) decided it was time to take a more active role in securing the world from super-powered threats, (which ultimately led to the Civil War.) Their first act -- get rid of the Incredible Hulk.

Richards, Stark, Strange, and Black Bolt blasted the Hulk into deep space, where he landed on alien world where he was forced to battle to the death in an arena of gladiators. And in the Planet Hulk storyline, the Hulk of course, conquers his enemies and rises to become king of this new world, even taking a queen. For once, the Hulk was at peace.

But a technical malfunction in the ship he arrived in caused an explosion, which destroyed his world and killed his queen, filling the Hulk with a burning rage greater than he has ever felt before, also making him stronger than he's ever been. Gathering to him a group of his fiercest warrirors, the Hulk returns to Earth to heap revenge upon those who caused his pain -- the Illuminati.

It's great stuff, larger than life, straight-forward, good old fashioned violent smash-em-up superheroics. Check it out!
