A Brief History

Hulkling, aka Dorrek VIII is half-Skrull and half-Kree, born to Princess Anelle of the Skrulls and Captain Marvel of the Kree, which makes him royalty of both species. He was sent to Earth by his mother to protect him, and was given the name Teddy Altman. He first started using his powers to imitate famous superheroes such as the Human Torch, Iron Man, and the Hulk. He then later joined the Young Avengers and started dating and became engaged to Billy Kaplan, aka Wiccan.

Wait, so he's not actually related to the Hulk? In any way? Weird.

[u/gangler52 → u/waaaghboss82]

That was sort of the premise of the Young Avengers. They were all Avengers stand-ins who turned out to be less like The Avengers than they pitched themselves as.

So Wiccan for example was initially trying to be some kind of mini-Thor, neglecting the breadth of his magical abilities in the process. They all had something weird going on.

[u/pacotacobell → u/gangler52]

Exactly. The only ones actually related to their Avenger counterparts were Stature and Vision.

That's also why you get this weird feat from Wiccan. An Asgardian obviously has super strength, but he's not an Asgardian and it doesn't look like he's using strength amplifying magic, so...
