Hulk faces the Warlord himself in the final round of the Gauntlet. Failing the fight, Warlord launches his nuclear missile but the Hulk persona in Cho's head takes control and absorbs all of the deadly radiation into himself. Hulk and Thor remain on Sakaar for another month to help Clan Doka'abi rebuild then return to Earth - but the Hulk remains in control, having suppressed Cho. Sakaar's survival is revealed to have been caused by the Time Stone, which is claimed by the Super-Skrull.
