Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books , the character has been featured in other Marvel-endorsed products such as arcade and video games , animated television series , merchandise such as action figures and trading cards. In , the Abomination was ranked as IGN 's 54th-greatest comic book villain of all time. Stan Lee chose the name "the Abomination", which he realized belonged to no other character, before conceiving the character's background and appearance. Lee recalled that he simply told the artist Gil Kane to "make him bigger and stronger than the Hulk and we'll have a lot of fun with him. Emil Blonsky first appeared in Tales to Astonish , and was introduced as a KGB agent and spy [4] who became the Abomination after deliberately exposing himself to a greater quantity of the same gamma radiation that transformed Bruce Banner into his alter ego the Hulk, using a machine Banner was planning on using to commit suicide. In his first appearance, Blonsky became a large scaly humanoid even stronger than the Hulk. The character has been featured in a number of Marvel titles, gradually shifting from unthinking, savage brute, [6] to master schemer, [7] to tortured soul, [8] and finally repentant villain and occasional defender of the weak [9] before being killed in battle by Red Hulk. Bruce Banner was experimenting with gamma rays. Blonsky triggers the event that turns Banner into the Hulk, and himself turns into a hideous lizard-like creature. The Abomination reappears when summoned by a coven of witches to briefly battle the cosmic hero the Silver Surfer [13] and summons Thor via an absent Stranger's technology to aid him in escaping the Stranger's laboratory world. Thor frees the Abomination and the other captives, but, on discovering they are all evil, uses his mystic hammer Mjolnir to time travel several hours into the past to undo his mistake. After defeating the Abomination and placing the Abomination in prison, Thor departs. When the captain of the vessel directs Xeron and the crew to battle Klaatu in space, the Hulk and the Abomination are thrown from the vessel and battle until the pair are drawn into Earth's orbit and separated. It is revealed in flashback that the Abomination entered into a coma on impacting with the Earth and is buried for two years. Revived by an off-course missile fired from Hulkbuster Base under Ross's jurisdiction , the Abomination joins forces with General Ross to defeat the Hulk, but is battered into submission by an angered Hulk. The Hulk's companion of the time, Jim Wilson , deactivates the bomb and the Hulk tricks the villains during combat, forcing them to collide and knock each other unconscious. The Abomination tricks the Hulk into an alliance and betrays Ross by attempting to ransom the captured Kennedy Space Center. The plan fails when the Hulk turns on the Abomination and the pair fight, with the Abomination being caught on a rocket when it explodes. An illusion of the Abomination also appears with illusions of other Hulk foes when the Hulk at the time possessing the intelligence of Banner, thanks to being made to a device called the Encephalo-Helmet enters the brain of Colonel Glenn Talbot at microscopic size to excise a mental block placed in Talbot's mind by the Gremlin. The Abomination eventually reappears as a servant of the entity the Galaxy Master , having been empowered with even greater strength. After another extended battle with the Hulk, the Hulk attacks and destroys the Galaxy Master, causing the Abomination to weaken and apparently become lost in space. During the Secret Wars II storyline, the Abomination is restored by the demon-lord Mephisto , who directs the Abomination and other villains against the cosmic entity the Beyonder as a member of the Legion Accursed. The restoration is temporary, as a still-disembodied Abomination's atoms mingle with the disembodied atoms of the villain Tyrannus , who reintegrates the Abomination's body and places it under his mind's control. Tyrannus, as the Abomination, then comes into conflict with the Gray Hulk, and quickly defeats the weaker version of their foe. When the Hulk reverts to Banner, Tyrannus forces him to create a procedure that will remove Blonsky's mind, who is mentally fighting Tyrannus' mind for control of the Abomination's body. The process is successful and Blonksy is restored to a human form, free of Tyrannus, whose mind is still occupying the form of the Abomination. An enraged Gray Hulk defeats Tyrannus, who is placed into custody by the organization S. After encounters against Avengers Wonder Man [23] and Hawkeye , [24] the Tyrannus-controlled Abomination reappears during the " Atlantis Attacks " storyline with the Deviant Ghaur freeing Tyrannus from the body of the Abomination by restoring Tyrannus' mind to a duplicate of his own body and placing Blonsky's mind within the Abomination's body once more. The process drives Blonksy insane, and he battles heroes Spider-Man and the She-Hulk , managing to knock both unconscious. The Abomination is eventually driven off when set on fire by the She-Hulk. The Abomination is sent to a toxic waste site to collect samples, and encounters the gray version of the Hulk again, who is outmatched and also weak due to being poisoned. The Hulk, however, throws the Abomination into toxic waste that partially dissolves and horribly scars the Abomination. The Abomination temporarily teams with villains Titania and Gargantua [27] and finds and stalks his former wife, Nadia a famous ballet dancer. The Abomination captures her and after taking her into the New York City sewers, reveals his true identity. After a brief skirmish, the Hulk persuades the Abomination to free his wife. The Abomination is also captured by the robot Sentinels , but is eventually freed by the X-Men. After befriending a woman who finds her way into the sewers, [29] the Abomination battles Namor during an attempt to save his kidnapped former wife. After killing several police officers, he is eventually driven away when confronted by the Hulk. When Betty Ross dies in the title Hulk , Banner mistakenly thinks her proximity to the Hulk has induced a fatal case of radiation poisoning. Despite baiting a newly arrived Hulk, the Abomination is unable to force the Hulk to fight and departs. The circumstances of Betty's death are eventually revealed: Blonksy's transformation into the Abomination apparently alienates his former wife Nadia, driving his hatred of Banner; Blonsky, deciding to deprive Banner of Betty in return, secretly poisons her with his radioactive blood. After hearing the Abomination's admission, Banner eventually discovers the truth and the Hulk defeats the Abomination in combat. Taken into custody by the military, Blonsky is forced to watch old home movies of him and his wife together prior to his transformation as punishment. After a humorous encounter with the demigod Hercules , in which the Abomination is chosen as an adversary for the hero while he completes the modern version of the 12 Labours of Hercules , [40] the Abomination is pardoned and employed by the U. This new opponent savagely beats, shoots, and kills the Abomination. During the " Dark Reign " storyline, the Abomination is among the dead characters present at Zeus 's trial. During the " Chaos War " storyline, the Abomination is among the dead characters in the Underworld that Pluto liberated in order to help defend the Underworld from Amatsu-Mikaboshi. A shadow organization later revealed to be the Order of the Shield [51] bent on gaining control of the Hulk harvests biological material from a mortally wounded Bruce Banner. Iron Man uses technology taken from the Order of the Shield agents to teleport the Abomination into interplanetary space estimated to be "somewhere in the vicinity of Jupiter ". Tissue samples of the Abomination were later used by the U. Charlene McGowan calls Subject B. Fortean then willingly fuses himself with the body. The Abomination is similar to the Hulk in terms of strength, stamina, speed and durability, and the ability to regenerate. In contrast with the Hulk, he retains his intellect after transforming, and cannot change back into human form. He also possesses gills , enabling underwater breathing, and he can enter a state of suspended animation when bereft of oxygen for long periods. After being further empowered by Amatsu-Mikaboshi, the Abomination is considerably larger than before, can project hellfire and is strong enough to rip off the shell of his successor A-Bomb something which even the Red Hulk had previously been unable to do.
