admonition : comprise spoilers forHulk#6
Duringthe acclaimedImmortal Hulkseries , it was revealed that , billions of years in the future , theHulkwill become a darker version ofGalactus , a personnel of cosmic destruction , smash planet and stars one after the other until nothing is leave behind . The currentHulkseries also in brief showed a Hulk version of Galactus , meaning that , even if the future portray inImmortal Hulkwas supposedly avoided , this association between the Jade Giant and the Devourer of Worlds is officially part of Marvel traditional knowledge .
In Marvel ’s cosmology , there exists an endless cycle of destruction and reincarnation , where each creation ( or actually , Multiverse ) , is destroyed by a cataclysm and supplant by a raw looping . This is the will ofthe One - Above - All , who make life but also desire to see it perpetually renewed . The last subsister of the Sixth Cosmos , Galan of Taa , was chosen by the Sentience of the Cosmos ( the source of the Power Cosmic ) , to bond with it and become the incarnation of destruction and rebirth in the Seventh ( and afterwards the Eighth ) Cosmos : the Devourer of Worlds , Galactus . InImmortal Hulk#24 - 25 ( by Al Ewing and Joe Bennett ) , readers were deal to a view of the end of the current incarnation of the Marvel Universe . Bruce Banner is the last survivor , and he is chosen by the Sentience to be the next " Galactus , " but thing go really wrong . Hulk devour the Sentience and becomes " the Breaker of Worlds . “The One - Below - All , the dark antonym of the One - Above - All , has taken over the Hulk , devouring all his personality , including Banner .

The wholeImmortal Hulkrun was base on this idea of dichotomies : life and death , destruction and reincarnation . The follow - upHulkseries by Donny Cates , Ryan Ottley , and Frank Martin , however , step very far away . Bruce has literally cage the Hulk , taking restraint of his eubstance by turning it into a starship he " pilots " . The Hulk ’s personality istrapped in the " engine room " , where he fights imaginary enemies to ramp up up his passion and world power . InHulk#6 , the engine is pushed to the level best , and the enemies appearing are the " Universal Constants " , the sovereign beings of the universe , including Galactus , who come out in Hulk build . While there is no apparent reason for this , it is clearly a reference to the dark future demonstrate inImmortal Hulk .
Hulk did n’t in the end assume this " Breaker of Worlds " form , as that future was in theory avoided by tough sentence travel . However , this reminder shown in a serial that ismoving as far away as possible fromImmortal Hulkshows that the larger-than-life nature of the reveal has firmly made it part of Marvel lore , and even Hulk now understands Galactus as a twisted promise of what he could one day become . Immortal Hulk ’s endingestablished the idea of Hulk as a force out of destruction that is ask to balance God ’s act of conception , which is very like to the role that Galactus plays in the universe .
The young link between the Jade Giant and the Devourer of Worlds , and the dark possible action ofHulkas the nextGalactus , was a huge here and now inImmortal Hulk , so it ’s majuscule to see that it ’s being expect forward as part of their shared traditional knowledge .
