Who is Amadeus Cho?

A Korean-American teen prodigy regarded as one of Earth's smartest minds, Amadeus Cho's extraordinary 'hypermind' lets him instantly calculate complex variables in any situation. His genius eventually led him to voluntarily absorb gamma radiation, transforming himself into a Hulk-level powerhouse.

Few characters have burst onto the Marvel scene with as much kinetic brainpower and charm as Amadeus Cho, who made his debut in She-Hulk #18 in 2007, courtesy of Dan Slott and Rick Burchett. A Modern Age marvel through and through, he's gone on to rack up 182 catalog appearances across nearly two decades, with three of those earning key-issue recognition β€” a testament to just how much he matters to collectors and fans alike. His most celebrated stomping grounds include Incredible Hercules and Incredible Hulk, where he shares pages with some of Marvel's heaviest hitters: Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America, Hercules, and Thor. That's rarefied company for any character, and Amadeus Cho has more than earned his place among them.
