Notable Aliases:
First Appearance: Tales to Astonish #73
"Godspeed, my terrible companion...I shall be mere moments behind you on this journey across infinity..."
Qnax (also known as Amphibion) is a warrior born from centuries of selective breeding, who was sent on a mission by the Grand Xandarean Council to obtain the sphere of Ultimate Knowledge.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: At first, Amphibion was insufferably proud. He was convinced he was indeed the absolute greatest warrior ever. He took any defeat very hard, had to prove his physical superiority over anything that seemed worthy, and was obsessed by getting a rematch against anything that beat him.
- Super-Strength: Displays astounding strength and fighting skill. He can, in fact, fight the Hulk himself, as long as the Hulk does not get significantly enraged.
- Super Swimming Skills: Qnax is an amphibious reptilian, able to survive on land or under water and swim at great speeds.
- Super-Toughness: Can withstand blows from the Hulk.
- Warrior Poet: After he learned humility, Amphibion was a much more agreeable character. He spoke in an elaborate, articulate way, as if his adventures were part of an epic saga. It often bordered on the poetic.
Armageddon
Armageddon
Alter Ego: Arm'Chedon
Notable Aliases: Warlord of the Troyjan
First Appearance: The Incredible Hulk Vol. 1, #413
Warlord of the star-spanning troyjan empire, with power rivaling the Silver Surfers. He holds a grudge against the Hulk for accidentally slaying his son Trauma.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: Did this often enough.
- Galactic Conqueror: He is the leader of the Troyjan Empire and foe of the Hulk during his days with the Pantheon. Arm'Chedon was so busy conquering planets that he literally did not notice that he had two sons until one of them died on earth (the other was later killed in combat with the Hulk). Interestingly, his relative obscureness might have worked in his favor, as there's no sign that his empire suffered the massive amounts of destruction that Marvel's other galactic empires (The Kree, Skrulls, and Shi'ar) have in recent years.
- Pet the Dog: His personality is virtually identical to that of Zeus, but similarly he had a very well hidden "soft" spot for his favorite son. With that son dead, he doesn't have any nice spots anymore.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: Very proud, and a warrior.
- Sins of Our Fathers: One of the laws he enforces is to slaughter the entire family of anybody who goes beyond any of his rules in the slightest, regardless if they had nothing to do with it, as it serves as a "more powerful preventative warning".
- The Social Darwinist: A firm believer.
- Sore Loser: After an attempt at resurrecting his son fails, he appears to accept it with good grace, but Bruce figures he'll later smash the machinery used just so no-one else can, a prediction proven a few months later when Bruce tries to resurrect Betty.
- The Spartan Way: The alien spartan way.
- Super Power Lottery: He is basically a more skilled, powerful, and ruthless version of the Silver Surfer, with a galactic armada to back him up.

First Appearance: X-Men #31
"You're out of your mind if you think I'm just rolling over for the likes of you. Out of your mind for throwing down with me at all! I've fought Iron Man! I've fought the Hulk! No way a lunatic and a bunch of wannabe has-beens besting me!"

- Rogues' Gallery Transplant: He was originally an XMen villain, but he later migrated to fighting the Hulk.
- Start My Own: He was a Stark Enterprises employee who was interested in the Iron Man armor. Tony Stark refused to let Roberts know any of its main secrets, so he quit and formed his own research company to create his own suit of Powered Armor.
- Tap on the Head: Subverted. When Ralph Roberts suffered a head injury in a pole vaulting competition, his concussion made him dangerously unstable. He punched out his brother for questioning his work with the Cobalt Man armor, then planned to use it to destroy Stark Enterprises. He continued to be rather unhinged in later appearances, suggesting that the concussion had more of an impact than anyone realized.

Doctor Frye
Doctor Frye
Alter Ego: Frye (First Name Unknown)
Notable Aliases:
First Appearance: Immortal Hulk Vol. 1, #2
A doctor whom experimented on his son with Gamma rays. His son died, after which he went insane. He started experimenting on himself becoming a ghoul-like creature.
- Abusive Parents: He uses his own son as a guinea pig for his horrific experiments and when they end up seemingly killing Del, Frye just callously buries the body in a nearby cemetery to avoid conviction. Frye tries to gussy all this up as him having been trying to make his son immortal too, but it's obvious that he was just working out the kinks of his serums.
- Accidental Murder: He thinks that he kills his son through his reckless experiments, then ends up indirectly killing a number of other people when he foolishly buries his now-radioactive son in the local cemetery, resulting in many people stopping by to pay respects to their deceased loved ones getting a lethal dose of gamma radiation.
- And I Must Scream: After having his limbs torn off by the Hulk, he is left buried under a cave-in miles underground, unable to die or even move.
- An Arm and a Leg: Hulk tore off Frye's arms and legs before burying him alive under the mountain.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: He wanted to be biologically immortal due to his shallow, hard materialist view of the world. He gets it. In the form of mutating himself into a radioactive undead monster that can't interact with other people, and he only achieves it through the sacrifice of his son. And then Hulk decides to pile it on by showing him that there are far worse things than death…
- Buried Alive: The Hulk explained Frye's responsibility in the series of mystery deaths, before tearing off the man's arms and legs and burying him alive under the mountain, trapped beneath stone and surrounded by darkness.
- Dirty Coward: At his core, Frye is just a pathetic, foolish coward so afraid of death that he's willing to sacrifice others — even his own family — just to attain a shallow form of immortality. His cowardice is also highlighted by the fact that he's more than willing to throw down with Bruce in his normal human form, but instantly loses his composure when confronted with the Hulk.
- Flat-Earth Atheist: A horrific deconstruction, as Frye's militant atheism and refusal to admit the afterlife is real causes him to become an amoral Immortality Seeker obsessed with keeping himself alive at any cost.
- Healing Factor: While the extent of his healing factor is unknown, what is known is that it doesn't allow him to regrow missing limbs.
- Immortality Seeker: His inability to believe or admit that the afterlife is real causes him to become obsessed with staying alive forever at any cost.
- Mortality Phobia: Per usual, drastically sought unethical ways to extend life and ended up applying highly dangerous resources.
- Never My Fault: It's implied that the bigger clincher in Devil Hulk's decision on how to deal with Frye is the man's total refusal to admit he did anything wrong. Even though his actions turned his son and himself into monsters and got numerous innocents killed via radiation poisoning, the most responsibility that Frye is willing to take is saying he made a few mistakes.
- No Name Given: His first name was never revealed.
- Walking Wasteland: Frye constantly produces lethal levels of radiation, as does his son that he experimented on to have the same powers.

A brilliant Russian scientist mutated by gamma radiation into a deformed diminutive parody of himself. Served as a spy for the Soviet Union in the first issue, and was the Hulk's first (major) foe.
- Anti-Villain: He was a spy, and originally fiercely loyal to the Soviet Union, but he could never live a normal life, even after Banner cured him, and he switched sides.
- Death by Secret Identity: Another reason he doesn't last long; he learns Bruce and the Hulk are the same (ish) right in the first issue, which would've made secret identity shenanigans difficult.
- Dirty Communists: Not as dirty as the others in his time by far, but he is quite cowardly.
- The Dreaded: Pretty much everyone was afraid of him, so much so a whole page is devoted to various officials playing Delegation Relay before finally just shoving a communique under his door.

- Starter Villain: Appeared in the first issue, and was never seen again afterwards.
- Super-Intelligence: As a result of his radiation experiments.

Alter Ego:
Known Aliases:
First Appearance: The Incredible Hulk Vol. 2, #89
A sentient space station that was a weapon designed by S.H.I.E.L.D. who built itself with advanced A.I. circuitry and whose intelligence surpassed what was initially intended. When its creators initially tried to stop it, it responded in turn (it is believed this is what caused the Chernobyl incident). Its creators decided to leave it alone, where it made itself larger by incorporating space debris into itself. As a last resort, the Hulk was fired into space to put a stop to it.
- AI Is A Crap Shoot: Was created by SHIELD before going rogue.
- Energy Absorption: Absorbs solar energy, converts it to nuclear energy, then stores it on a subatomic level. It's capable of replicating any energy signature it analyzes, though the Hulk's gamma signature is hard to pin down.
- Grey Goo: Incorporates matter into itself, making itself larger and more powerful. It is unclear as to the extent of its absorbing abilities, but its large, ship-like exterior form made from the floating space debris surrounding Earth has allowed it to grow to the size of a small city.
- Godzilla Threshold: Has the potential to grow larger than the Earth itself, and most definitely has the firepower to wipe out humanity.
- Kill Sat: Its purpose was to be a nuclear deterrent by remotely detonating from orbit any nuclear stockpile in the world.
- Reed Richards Is Useless: It was created by Reed and used in a setup to trick the Hulk onto a rocket shot into deeper space. Now go read about how it collects energy. The technology to do that alone would absolutely revolutionize the world and yet it's only seen use as an elaborate hoax. One that gives a grey goo robot endless energy as debris rained down on Earth and ran the risk of running rampant.
- We Need a Distraction: It is the distraction, used to lure the Hulk into a trap so the Illuminati could rocket him to another planet. It just also happened to be a problem that needed solving at the same time.
- What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: When Banner comes aboard it, the only reason he is spared is that the AI is curious about human nature, most specifically the dual nature of a being like the Hulk.

Half-Life was an English professor who was exposed to gamma radiation. He can absorb energy from an enemy.
- Healing Factor: Half-life is extremely hard to kill. Ripping him to pieces, smashing him asunder and even completely mummifying him and putting him into a coma doesn't kill him. He will resurface sooner or later after a defeat in which he is utterly crushed.

- Life Drinker: Masterson has the ability to drain the life-force of others through his touch.
- One-Steve Limit: Shares his codename with an Avengers villain, although she spells her name without the hyphen.
- Power Parasite: If Half-life tries to drain the life of a person who was granted powers by gamma radiation, Half-life drains the powers of his victim instead, transferring them to himself.

Megalith
Alter Ego:
Notable Aliases:
First Appearance: The Incredible Hulk Vol. 1, #275
A giant robot that was designed to subdue the Hulk. It was stored at Gamma Base and remained there while the base was empty due to General Ross recovering from a breakdown. It was activated and controlled by Jackdaw via a symbiotic linkage while she was breaking into the base to steal something for The Leader and tried to kill the Hulk with it. Unfortunately, the Hulk was too strong and the feedback was seriously hurting Jackdaw until the Hulk destroyed Megalith and Jackdaw fled.
- Flawed Prototype: Big time. Jackdaw had to wear a cybernetic helmet and vest to control it. Unfortunately, the controls apparently had a serious design flaw. Every time Megalith was damaged, Jackdaw suffered painful feedback. She was nearly killed when the Hulk finally destroyed Megalith. It was even Lampshaded when Jackdaw thought the feedback problem was why Gamma Base never actually used Megalith.
- Humongous Mecha: It towers over buildings.
- One-Shot Character: Only appeared in one issue, was destroyed, and has never been rebuilt. Jackdaw even suspected that the flaws with the control system, which injured Megalith's controller every time the machine was damaged, is why Gamma Base never used it.
- Reassigned to Antarctica: Gamma Base likely regarded Megalith as a failed project due to the flaws in its control system. Jackdaw suspected that was why they put it in storage and never used it against the Hulk.
- Remote Body: Megalith was designed to be this, fighting while its controller kept a safe distance.

- Beware the Silly Ones: A talking cloud of cute floating puffballs....who happens to be extremely ruthless and intelligent, as well as monstrously evil.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: For most of the Crossroads story, the Collective is just an innocent being that found a friend in fellow exile the Hulk. Then they return to the Collective Homeworld and it reveals itself as a truly vile sociopath who thinks nothing of screwing over the closest thing it had to a "friend" for power.
- Empathic Shapeshifter: Often shapes itself based on the thoughts of others, which it uses to communicate with the Hulk.
- Evil All Along: After several adventures with the Hulk in the Crossroads, it reveals the awful truth that it was merely using him to advance its omnicidal plans, and outright laughs as it sics the ravenous N'garai on him.
- Evil vs. Evil: When it encounters Hulk's old enemies the U-Foes. Poor bastards had no idea the pesky thing helping Hulk was even more evil then them.
- Genocide from the Inside: The rest of the collective it belonged to has been wiped out, thanks to itself summoning the N'garai.
- Hive Mind: An alien entity made up of multiple consciences.
- Using You All Along: To the Hulk, after several issues of posing as his "friend".
- Weak, but Skilled: A lightweight cloud of puffballs shouldn't be a threat to anyone, but the Collective is very intelligent as well as telepathic, and it uses its great maneuverability to devastating effect in battle with the U-Foes.
Ravage
Ravage
Alter Ego: Dr. Geoffrey Crawford
Notable Aliases:
First Appearance: Rampaging Hulk Vol. 2, #2
Searching for a way out of his prison-like body, Dr. Crawford stole a small dose of Bruce Banner's gamma blood and energy, transforming himself into the Ravage.
- Beard of Evil: A full beard and is evil.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Despite being a very personal foe for Banner, to date Ravage hasn't appeared since his introduction. While he was last seen in military custody, nothing ever came of this. There are already plenty of villains who act as an evil Hulk clone(like Abomination, Red Hulk, Maestro) so bringing him back would probably feel redundant.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: If there's one thing Crawford hates more than being reminded of his paraplegia, it's being pitied for it, which he perceives as Condescending Compassion at best. The first thing he plots to do after becoming Ravage is to go and kill his coworkers at the university he works at as revenge for years of supposedly "looking down" on him by expressing sympathy for his condition.
- Evil Counterpart: To Bruce, being a scientist who becomes a Hulk like him, only unlike Bruce, he's a bitter, hateful bastard who embraces the destructive power and horror associated with being one because it means he can get even with the people he dislikes.
- Evil Cripple: Although confined to a wheelchair, Crawford managed to trick Banner into giving him a sample of his blood and use it to transform himself into Ravage.
- Genius Bruiser: What makes Ravage a truly dangerous enemy is that Crawford completely retains his mental faculties when he transforms. Since Crawford was a highly intelligent scientist and skilled manipulator before getting his powers, you can imagine what a bad combo this is.
- Morally Ambiguous Doctorate
- The Resenter: Crawford possesses a deep resentment towards many of his colleagues and students due his insecurities over being paraplegic. The biggest target of this hatred is his former mentee, Bruce Banner, who is not only able-bodied but also possesses superpowers, and thus Crawford conspires to steal the power of the Hulk for himself.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: His debut storyline ended with him being frozen with a cryo-ray and shipped into military custody. He hasn't been seen or heard from since, so it's not clear if he's still frozen or even alive.
- We Used to Be Friends: He was one of Bruce's mentors in college and Bruce once regarded him as a dear friend, something that Crawford used to manipulate his former student.

- Super-Speed: His Powered Armor allows him to run at speeds of over 300mph.
- Would Hurt a Child: Tried to murder the teenager who shot his daughter (though also for the significantly less justified reason of "being a geek"), which brought him into conflict with the Hulk.
