Korg is a character in the Marvel Comics, created during the "Planet Hulk" storyline.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Korg is part of the Kronan race, stone creatures who once fought Thor in Journey Into Mystery (1st series) #83. Not actually seen during the battle, Korg did mention his defeat years later when he was locked up in a cell together with the Hulk. After his defeat, Korg became a prisoner on the alien planet of the Red King, where he became a slave and had to fight for his life. Thanks to a special disk, Korg's body was partly controlled by the Red King, and he had Korg kill his brother Margus against his will. This fact still haunts Korg on this day.
When the Hulk was exiled to the Red King's planet, Korg became the Hulk's ally after he and five others were victorious during one of the gladiator games, that rule on the planet as a form of entertainment. Korg was the first to let the group talk to each other, and after more victories in the game, Korg became a gladiator. Still fighting alongside the Hulk, Korg was part of the group that rebelled against the Red King after the Silver Surfer had used his Power Cosmic to destroy the disks that controlled his body.
Korg's story is ongoing, at least for as long as the "Planet Hulk" storyline goes on in the comics.
