Eldest

Eldest is a mysterious Marvel villain who debuted in the 2023 relaunch of Incredible Hulk, operating in a dark, horror-tinged corner of the Marvel Universe and posing a significant threat to Bruce Banner and the Hulk.

Emerging from the shadows of Marvel's Modern Age, Eldest made a striking entrance in 2023's Incredible Hulk #1, brought to life by the acclaimed creative team of Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein. This relatively recent addition to the Marvel Universe has already carved out a compelling presence, sharing pages with heavyweights like Hulk, Bruce Banner, Betty Ross, and Iron Man across a growing slate of appearances. With a footprint that stretches from Incredible Hulk into Infernal Hulk and even the landmark Amazing Spider-Man 1000, Eldest has proven to be far more than a fleeting newcomer — 16 catalog appearances in just a few years signals a character with real staying power. If you haven't crossed paths with Eldest yet, now is exactly the right time to dive in.
