Marvel's Hulk undergoes a nightmarish evolution as an ancient demon named Eldest, now the Infernal Hulk, consumes the cosmic entity Vinruviel and usurps her title, becoming the Father of Horrors. This new dark god threatens all of Earth-616 with a terrifying power to transform heroes into monsters and declares war on mutantkind and the One Above All.
Marvel Comics has unleashed a terrifying new chapter in the Hulk saga, one that threatens to plunge the entire Marvel Universe, Earth-616, into a cataclysmic Hulk War .
The narrative pivots on a shocking transformation: Bruce Banner is no longer the Hulk. The mantle has been seized by an ancient demonic entity known as Eldest, now the Infernal Hulk. This entity's origin is steeped in cosmic horror; it originally aimed to free the godlike eldritch being Vinruviel, the Mother of Horrors. Upon succeeding, they discovered Vinruviel comatose, locked outside reality.
In a ghastly act of appropriation, Eldest consumed Vinruviel, absorbing her immense powers and her ominous title. In the pages of Infernal Hulk #7, written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by Adam Gorham, Matt Wilson, and lettering by Cory Petit, this new Hulk reaches out to mutantkind, extending a monstrous invitation. Visions depict a dystopian Age of Monsters, with the X-Men among those confronted, as the Infernal Hulk officially claims the new title Father of Horrors.
This designation signifies more than a name change; it represents a usurpation of a cosmic station. The Father of Horrors has taken Vinruviel's place as the sovereign over all aberrations and as the primary adversary of the One Above All, Marvel's supreme deity. Their conflict has already begun, and the One Above All's restricted ability to manifest in the physical realm resulted in a victory for the Infernal Hulk.
This new dark god has effortlessly brushed aside the Avengers and confronted the X-Men, even recruiting the surprise acolyte Glob Herman, offering visions of a transcendent, monstrous evolution for the unlikely hero. The new title also heralds a devastating new superpower. Having consumed Vinruviel, the Father of Horrors can bond victims to the souls of ancient monsters, transforming them into towering, powerful creatures.
This ability, teased sparingly until now, is set to escalate dramatically, as confirmed in Amazing Spider-Man 1000/Queen in Black CGD 2026 #1. That issue showcased the Hulk transforming the Avengers and the Fantastic Four into colossal monsters, each matched to a specific ancient terror under his command. The Infernal Hulk's dominion extends over a vast menagerie, from lycanthropes and zombies to Ghost Riders and the Man-Thing, and even the living city of Gologolthia.
As the Father of Horrors, his influence encompasses any entity humanity deems a monster, a category that now seemingly includes mutants. There exists no clear method to defeat him; he represents not a conventional villain but an ascendant dark god with ambitions to claim Earth as his kingdom. This storyline, intrinsically tied to the broader tapestry of Marvel Comics, is crafted by a creative team dedicated to expanding the mythical scope of the Hulk mythos.

Glob Herman Unleashes God-Tier Form in X-Men LoreIn today's Infernal Hulk, Glob Herman experiences a vision of what he can become as part of Hulk's army. Starting out as a sea of pink liquid, Blob shapes himself into a towering, angelic body with a spiked head and humongous wings. Looking at this godlike mutant's design, fans can see Glob's skeleton curled up, acting as this giant being's heart. Introduced in Grant Morrison and Ethan van Sciver's New X-Men 117, Glob Herman is a former rebellious student who has since joined up as a non-combat member of the X-Men, preparing their food. His 'useless' powers have turned his body into a paraffin-like substance, with his skeleton visible through his transparent skin. However, the X-Men never stopped to wonder what Glob could become if more bio-paraffin was added to his body. In contrast, the Hulk sees Glob's potential, leaving the X-Men's compound with the young mutant in tow. This X-Men transformation has been coming for years.
