Biography[]
Originally known as the Night-Crawler, this being hailed from the Dark Dimension and possessed immense superhuman strength. The Night-Crawler was a foe of a race of beings known as the Undying Ones. On Earth, a cult leader named Van Nyborg, who worshiped the Undying Ones, wanted to stop the Night-Crawler's aggression against them, so he used the cult's mysticism to take control of the Hulk, sending him into the land of the Undying Ones to combat the Night-Crawler.
Years later, the Night-Crawler (now calling himself the Dark-Crawler), was recruited by the Sagittarian known as Daydra as part of a team of "Hulk Hunters". Although fighting up against the Hulk once again, the Hulk Huners convinced him to join them in their fight against the Galaxy Master and the Ravager of Worlds known as the Abomination.
