Fictional character biography
[edit]Peter Corbeau is a college roommate of Bruce Banner and the creator of Starcore. When the army manages to capture the Hulk with tranquilizer bombs, they bring him to Corbeau. Corbeau uses a device that manipulates the sun's rays, which neutralizes the gamma energy enough to regress the Hulk back to Banner.[1]
Peter Corbeau later calls Colonel Jack Armbruster upon learning that he had captured the Hulk and states that he has found a solution that would end the Hulk. The Hulk awakens upon Corbeau's arrival as Corbeau collaborates with several scientists to create a device that will banish the Hulk to a time-space warp. It works, but it ends up freeing Juggernaut from his mystical exile. When Corbeau tries to use the machine to send the Juggernaut back, it malfunctions and the Hulk returns. The two fight throughout the base until the X-Men arrive.[2]
