Fictional character biography
Born in Zagreb, Yugoslavia,[1] Emil Blonsky is a KGB agent and spy who becomes the Abomination after deliberately exposing himself to a greater quantity of the same gamma radiation that transformed Bruce Banner into the Hulk. Zagreb (ˈzɑːgrɛb is the Capital and the largest city of Croatia. See also Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Yugoslavia ( Serbo-Croatian KGB ( Transliteration of "КГБ" is the Russian abbreviation of Committee for State Security ( Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosty Gamma rays (denoted as &gamma) are a form of Electromagnetic radiation or light emission of frequencies produced by sub-atomic particle interactions This article is about the comic book character and series For all other media appearances see Hulk in other media. This article is about the comic book character and series For all other media appearances see Hulk in other media. Blonsky is transformed into a massive green-skinned monster with physical strength exceeding that of the Hulk; in his first appearance, he is more than twice as powerful as the Hulk. Although he retains his mental faculties, Blonsky soon discovers his inability to return to human form. [2]
The Abomination has repeatedly joined forces with General Thunderbolt Ross to fight the Hulk,[3] but always betrays Ross, first teaming with the Rhino in an attempt to take over Hulkbuster base,[4] and later tricking the Hulk into an alliance and attempts to ransom the captured Kennedy Space Center. General Thaddeus E "Thunderbolt" Ross is a Fictional character of Marvel Comics. The Rhino ( Aleksei Sytsevich) is a Supervillain in the Marvel Universe. Hulkbusters is the name of three Fictional organizations that have appeared in various Comic book series published by Marvel Comics. The John F Kennedy Space Center ( KSC) is the NASA Space vehicle launch facility and Launch Control Center ( Spaceport) on [5]
The Abomination is later briefly lost in space,[6] but is rescued by the U. S. military and revived by MODOK and General Ross. MODOK is a Fictional Comic book Supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe. In this third association with Ross, the Abomination is forced to battle the Hulk, but turns against MODOK, who atomizes him. [7] His atomized body reconstitutes itself with the disembodied mind of Tyrannus. Tyrannus (real name Romulus Augustilus) is an immortal Supervillain in the Marvel Universe. This amalgamated being forces Banner to try to cure this condition, but the procedure fails, leaving Tyrannus in the Abomination body and returning Blonsky to human form. [8] Tyrannus briefly operates as the Abomination and attacks Wonder Man,[9] until Ghaur and Llyra restore Tyrannus to normal. Ghaur (pronounced "Gore" is a Marvel Comics Supervillain. Llyra is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Super-villainess. Blonsky again becomes the Abomination, but as a mindless beast, and battles She-Hulk and Spider-Man in New York. She-Hulk ( Jennifer Susan Walters) is a Marvel Comics superheroine Created by writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema, she Spider-Man is a Fictional character appearing in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [10] He later recovers his mental faculties and is hired to steal toxic waste from the Yucca Flats research center, but is caught off guard and doused in toxic waste by the Hulk. [11]
Blonsky blames his condition on Banner and returns to attack his archenemy time and again. Although stronger than the Hulk in a calm state, the Abomination has almost always been beaten by the Hulk's sheer ferocity.
In later issues, it is revealed that Blonsky's transformation alienates his ballet-dancer ex-wife, Nadia. Coupled with constant defeats at the hands of the Hulk, Blonsky is driven insane with hatred for Banner. The Abomination also grows incensed upon learning that Banner has married Betty Ross, the daughter of Thunderbolt Ross.
With the loss of his wife, Blonsky decides that Banner should also lose his spouse. The Abomination subsequently poisons Betty with his radioactive blood, causing Banner and his associates to believe that her proximity to the Hulk has given her a fatal case of radiation poisoning. Banner later exposes the Abomination's role in Betty's false death, and the Hulk defeats him in combat. Banner then forgives the Abomination, who cannot accept this act. Blonsky finally realizes that he has been living a lie — it is he who is the monster, not the Hulk.
Months later, the still-grieving General Ross manipulates the Hulk into attacking and almost killing the Abomination. The Abomination is then taken into custody by the military, and as punishment is forced to watch a film loop of him and his wife prior to his transformation, making his incarceration a constant reminder of what he has lost.
Eventually, operatives from the secret organization Home Base release the Abomination in order to fight the Hulk. The Abomination has become even more vicious as a result of his incarceration, and reminds Banner of the loss of Betty to goad him into a violent response. The plan backfires as the Abomination faces an enraged Hulk, who utterly defeats him.
These events are later revealed to have been a hallucination created by the entity Nightmare,[12] which is confirmed when Blonsky shows no knowledge of the relationship, and also declares that he's had two different wives named Nadia, about which Abomination states, "It happens. Nightmare is a Fictional character, a Supernatural being who has appeared in many Marvel Comics stories most commonly as one of Doctor Strange Hey, Johnny Carson's been married to Joan, Joanna and Joanne," to explain the difference in personality. John William “Johnny” Carson ( October 23, 1925 &ndash January 23, 2005) was an American Television host and Blonsky is then employed as a U. S. government hitman against hostile foreign interests. Contract killing occurs when a private contractor or a government hires someone to kill a specific person or people for a sum of money [13]
The Abomination later realizes the Hulk is missing, and rampages through the city of Reno, in Nevada, but is stopped by She-Hulk. Nevada ( is a state located in the western region of the United States of America. She-Hulk ( Jennifer Susan Walters) is a Marvel Comics superheroine Created by writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema, she An apparently fully human Blonsky is later identified among the subjects of a program code-named "Project Achilles", whose mandate is to create a super-power nullifying system in nanotech form. Nanotechnology, sometimes shortened to nanotech, refers to a field of Applied science whose theme is the control of matter on an Atomic and Molecular [14] [15]
The Abomination is later shot and killed by Red Hulk. Red Hulk is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [16]
Powers and abilities
Blonsky's transformation into The Abomination substantially increases his strength and durability, giving him many of the same powers as the Hulk. Like the Hulk, The Abomination is still very resistant to damage, can hold his breath for extended periods of time, and breathe underwater. Blonsky is also capable of regenerating from damage, but at a slower rate. The Abomination can also go into a state of suspended animation if in a climate lacking air or heat. Like the Hulk, he can travel many miles with one bound. The Abomination differs from the Hulk in several ways. Blonsky is unable to transform back into his human form. Originally, the Abomination was shown to be stronger than a calm Hulk, but his strength would not increase with anger.
