Reference excerpt

Skaar is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as a supporting character in stories featuring his father, the Hulk, who conceived Skaar with the extraterrestrial Caiera during the 2006–2007 "Planet Hulk" storyline. Created by writer Greg Pak and artist John Romita Jr., the earliest version of the character appeared in a cameo in an alternate history story in What If? Planet Hulk #1 (cover-dated December 2007), in which the character was drawn by Rafa Sandoval. The Earth-616 version of the character appeared in World War Hulk #5 (January 2008), by Pak and Romita. The character has been adapted into various media outside comics. He first appeared in animated form in Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. (2013–2015), where he is voiced by Benjamin Diskin and depicted as unrelated to the Hulk. Additionally, Wil Deusner portrayed Skaar in a cameo appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022).

Publication history Skaar was created by writer Greg Pak and arist John Romita, Jr. The earliest incarnation of the character first appeared in What If Planet Hulk? #1 (Dec. 2007), "What if the Hulk Died and Caiera Lived?", an alternate history story by Pak and artist Leonard Kird, which imagines the sequence of events that would have transpired had the Hulk being killed by his exploding spaceship, rather than his wife Caiera, as occurred in the "Planet Hulk" storyline. The Skaar of Earth-616 (the continuity in which most mainstream Marvel storylines takes place) first appeared canonically in World War Hulk #5 (Jan. 2008) a miniseries written by Pak, and illustrated by Romita, Jr. He subsequently starred in his own ongoing series by Pak, Skaar: Son of Hulk, which ran for 12 issues from 2008 to 2009. Following the "Planet Skaar" story arc, which resulted in Skaar's arrival on Earth, the book's title changed with issue #13 to Son of Hulk, after which new writer Paul Jenkins focused on Hiro-Kala, Skaar's brother. The series ran until issue #17. The story of Hiro-Kala that begins in these issues continue in a miniseries that ties into the Realm of Kings event, Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk #1-4. When Greg Pak became the writer of The Incredible Hulk with issue #601, Skaar allied himself with a de-powered Bruce Banner. The character would then appear in the Skaar: King of the Savage Land miniseries by writer Rob Williams, and later appearing as a regular character in the Dark Avengers series, beginning with Dark Avengers #175.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Skaar (character)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Skaar (character) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Skaar (character) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Skaar (character) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Skaar (character)

In research: Skaar (character) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Skaar (character) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Skaar (character) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Characters created by Greg Pak, Characters created by John Romita Jr., Comics characters introduced in 2007, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Skaar (character) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
