Following a brief appearance in ''Hulk'' vol. 2, #366 (Feb. 1990), the Abomination appears in ''Hulk'' vol. 2, #383 - 384 (July - Aug 1991) and '']'' vol. 3 #6 - 8 (July; Oct & Dec. 1991).

This was followed by the three-part mini-series ''Abominations'', which was published in Dec. 1996 - Feb. 1997. This mini-series pitted the Abomination and a group of followers against a future version of the Hulk, the ].


More brief non-Hulk related appearances followed, including ''Code of Honor'' #3 (Apr. 1997); '']'' #5 (Aug. 1997) and ''X-Man'' #32-33 (Nov. - Dec. 1997). After featuring in ''Hulk'' vol. 2, #459 (Dec. 1997); the character appears in ''X-Men'' vol. 2, #74 (Apr. 1998); ''Hulk'' vol. 2, #472 - 474 (Jan. - Mar. 1999) and then ''X-Men'' vol. 2, #90 (July 1999).
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.


=== 2000s ===
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 ], the daughter of Thunderbolt Ross.
When the third volume of the Hulk is launched, the Abomination appears in #24 - 25 (Mar. - Apr. 2001), then ''Defenders'' vol. 2, #10 (Dec. 2001) and again in ''Hulk'' vol. 3, #50 - 54 (Mar. - July 2001). This last appearance is eventually revealed in ''Hulk'' #81 (July 2005) to be a dream generated by the villain ] to torture the Hulk. An alternate depiction of the Abomination then debuts in the title the '']'', which featured a parallel universe version of superhero team the ]. The series ran for thirteen issues and was published from December 2004 until May 2007.


Several appearances in mini-series followed, including ''Hulk: Unchained'' #2 (Apr. 2004); ''Hercules'' vol. 3, #3 (Aug. 2005); ''Hulk: Destruction'' #1 - 2 & 4 (Sep. - Oct. & Dec. 2005) and ''Incredible Hulk: Prelude To Planet Hulk'' #1 (Jan. 2006). After briefly featuring in ''Marvel Team-Up'' vol. 3, #21 (Aug. 2006), a zombified Abomination appeared in the alternate universe story '']'' in July 2007. The character then appears in '']'' vol. 3, #15 & 17 (Mar. & May 2007); ''World War Hulk: Gamma Files'' #1 (Aug. 2007) and ''World War Hulk - Gamma Corps'' #1 (Jan. 2008).
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.


After the events of ''World War Hulk'', the main Hulk title is relaunched, and in ''Hulk'' vol. 4, #1 - 2 (Feb. - Mar 2008) the Abomination fights a new foe called the ], who subsequently shoots and apparently kills the character.
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 ],<ref>''Hulk'' vol. 3, #81</ref> 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. Hey, ]'s been married to Joan, Joanna and Joanne," to explain the difference in personality. Blonsky is then employed as a U.S. government ] against hostile foreign interests.<ref>''Hulk: Destruction'' #4 (2007)</ref>

The Abomination later realizes the Hulk is missing, and rampages through the city of Reno, in ], but is stopped by ]. 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 ] form.<ref>''She-Hulk'' vol. 3, #15</ref><ref>''She-Hulk'' vol. 4, #18</ref>

The character is very similar the Hulk in terms of strength and stamina, but differs in that the Abomination retains his intellect and is unable to revert back to human form.
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 can breathe underwater for extended periods of time. The Abomination is also capable of regenerating from severe damage, but at a slower rate than the Hulk, and 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 by simply jumping.

Though similar to the Hulk, the Abomination also differs from the Hulk in several ways. First and foremost, Blonsky's transformation is permanent, unlike the Hulk's rage-induced transformations. In addition, while the Abomination was originally shown to be stronger than a calm Hulk, his strength does not increase with anger as the Hulk's does. Finally, he retains his intelligence in his new gamma induced form, unlike the Hulk, who becomes a raging monster.

The Abomination is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appears in Tales to Astonish #90 (April 1967), and was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Gil Kane.

Publication History

1960s

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 was introduced as a KGB agent and spy in Tales to Astonish #90-91 (April-May 1967), and becomes the Abomination after deliberately exposing himself to a greater quantity of the same gamma radiation that transformed Bruce Banner into the Hulk. In his first appearance, Blonsky becomes a large scaly humanoid with twice the strength of the Hulk. Although he retains his mental faculties, Blonsky soon discovers his inability to return to human form.

1970s

Following two brief appearances in Silver Surfer (Jan. 1970) and Thor vol. 2, #178 (July 1970) respectively, the Abomination then becomes a perennial villain for the Hulk. The character appears in Hulk vol. 2, #136 - 137 (Feb. - Mar 1971); as an illusion in Hulk vol. 2, #139 (May 1971) and then joins forces with General Thunderbolt Ross in Hulk vol. 2, #159 (Jan. 1973). The Abomination then teams with fellow villain the Rhino in Hulk vol. 2, #171 (Jan. 1974) in an attempt to take over Hulkbuster base and later attempts to ransom the captured Kennedy Space Center in Hulk vol. 2, #194 - 196 (Dec. 1975 - Feb. 1976).

1980s

After a cameo appearance in Ghost Rider vol. 3. (Aug. 1981), the character appears as an illusion again in Hulk vol. 2, #267 (Jan. 1982) and then as a servant of the Galaxy Master in Hulk vol. 2, #270 (Apr. 1982). In Hulk vol. 2, #287 - 290 (Sep. - Nov. 1983) the Abomination is revived by villain MODOK and forced to battle the Hulk, with the encounter ending in the character's death. After a flashback appearance in Hulk vol. 2, #306 (Apr. 1985), Blonsky is revived and cured of his condition by Bruce Banner, although former Hulk foe Tyrannus is able to take over the form of the Abomination in Hulk Annual #15 (1986).

The Tyrannus-Abomination hybrid appears in Secret Wars II #7 (Jan. 1986); West Coast Avengers #25 (Oct. 1987); Solo Avengers #12 (Nov. 1988) and Fantastic Four #330 (Sep. 1989). Blonsky then becomes the Abomination once again, but as a mindless beast, and battles She-Hulk and Spider-Man in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #23 (1989). Recovering his mental faculties, the character then reappears as a Hulk foe in Hulk vol. 2, #364 (Dec. 1989).

1990s

This is followed by appearances in a short story in Hulk Annual #19 (Dec. 1993) and What If? vol. 2, #67 - 68 (Nov. - Dec. 1994), Marvel's alternate universe title. After featuring in Namor, the Sub-Mariner vol. 3, #58 - 59 (Jan. - Feb. 1995) and Hulk vol. 2, #431-432 (July - Aug 1995), the character had a series of small appearances in non-Hulk related titles, including What If? vol. 2, #78 (Oct. 1995); Spider-Man: The Parker Years #1 (Nov. 1995) and X-Man #19-20 (Sep - Oct. 1996). This was followed by the three-part mini-series Abominations, which was published in Dec. 1996 - Feb. 1997. This mini-series pitted the Abomination and a group of followers against a future version of the Hulk, the Maestro.

More brief non-Hulk related appearances followed, including Code of Honor #3 (Apr. 1997); Marvel Adventures #5 (Aug. 1997) and X-Man #32-33 (Nov. - Dec. 1997). After featuring in Hulk vol. 2, #459 (Dec. 1997); the character appears in X-Men vol. 2, #74 (Apr. 1998); Hulk vol. 2, #472 - 474 (Jan. - Mar. 1999) and then X-Men vol. 2, #90 (July 1999).

This last appearance is eventually revealed in Hulk #81 (July 2005) to be a dream generated by the villain Nightmare to torture the Hulk. An alternate depiction of the Abomination then debuts in the title the Ultimates 2, which featured a parallel universe version of superhero team the Avengers. The series ran for thirteen issues and was published from December 2004 until May 2007.

Several appearances in mini-series followed, including Hulk: Unchained #2 (Apr. 2004); Hercules vol. 3, #3 (Aug. 2005); Hulk: Destruction #1 - 2 & 4 (Sep. - Oct. & Dec. 2005) and Incredible Hulk: Prelude To Planet Hulk #1 (Jan. 2006). After briefly featuring in Marvel Team-Up vol. 3, #21 (Aug. 2006), a zombified Abomination appeared in the alternate universe story Marvel Zombies: Dead Days in July 2007. The character then appears in She-Hulk vol. 3, #15 & 17 (Mar. & May 2007); World War Hulk: Gamma Files #1 (Aug. 2007) and World War Hulk - Gamma Corps #1 (Jan. 2008).

After the events of World War Hulk, the main Hulk title is relaunched, and in Hulk vol. 4, #1 - 2 (Feb. - Mar 2008) the Abomination fights a new foe called the Red Hulk, who subsequently shoots and apparently kills the character.
