Due to his combined Kree-Skrull heritage, Hulkling is asked to become the ruler of both races, which would bring an end to their long rivalry. Things do not go smoothly, especially with their reaction to Billy, his fiance, and Teddy is forced to renounce the relationship (or, at least, to pretend to do so).
