History
Korg and his brother Margus were part of an invasion force sent to conquer Earth. The Kronans and their machines were defeated by Thor.[1]
Korg and Margus were enslaved by the Sakaar Empire. They were separated while being trained for gladiatorial combat.
Korg was placed on the same team as the Hulk, 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 the Silver Surfer.
Korg has become one of the Hulk's most reliable allies. He is one of the few who survived Sakaar's destruction. He accompanied the Hulk to Earth to get revenge upon the Illuminati, a secret cabal of heroes responsible for the Hulk's exile. While the Hulk threatened to destroy New 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 in New Mexico by the Leader, Korg and his allies stopped the villain's plans, but only at the cost of Hiroim's life.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Korg possesses various superhuman attributes common to all Kronans.
Superhuman Strength: Korg is superhumanly strong, though the full limits of his strength aren't known. However, Korg is at least as strong as the average member of his race, which means that he can lift at least 100 tons.
Superhuman Stamina: Korg's highly advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of humans. While the full extent of his physical stamina isn't known, he can exert himself physically at peak capacity for at least 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
Superhuman Durability: Like other Kronans Korg possesses a dense rocky hide comparable to the Thing's that renders his body highly resistant to physical injury. Korg can withstand great impact forces, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
