Red Hulk
accompanies the Space Shuttle into orbit to approach a Russian craft called the
Vensk, which is surrounded by an odd purple aura. Rulk’s part follows:
he leaps across space to reach the Russian ship and enters. He makes his way to
the control center to find the cosmonauts dead, their bodies emaciated. Then
the rockets fire and the Vensk vanishes into a vortex…and comes to an
unknown solar system where two planets orbit close to one another. He rides the
capsule down to the red planet and ends up caught in a giant web. Warriors
flying giant insects arrives and he is gassed with pollen from a plant and
loses consciousness….
He
awakens, trapped in mindroot to keep him docile; the shaman Alturi manipulates
the mindroot so that Rulk can understand their language. He learns he is on the
planet Tiran which is at war with their neighboring world Randaa; the warlike
natives assume he has been sent by their enemies as they know of no other
planets. King Warka arrives atop a gigantic elephant-like beast to see the
captured monster. Warka beats Rulk into the ground, announcing plans to have
him fight another monster in the arena. Alturi is ordered to drug Rulk to make
him easier to lead to the arena but Rulk has a deal to cut with the shaman….
The
next day in the arena, Rulk faces his opponent, a huge reptilian beast called Kargus
the Deadly. Instead Rulk yanks on a long cord, pulling the King into the arena
and then proceeds to beat him to a pulp. Afterward, Alturi hails him as the Red
King, which wasn’t part of the plan….
