Miek



Miek is an insectoid warrior, one of the last of his kind from the planet Sakaar. He becomes warbound with the Hulk during Planet Hulk.

Origin
Miek was a member of the Natives, an insectoid race believed to be the only sentient people truly native to the planet Sakaar. Despite being the true native race, the Natives were victims of the red-skinned, humanoid Imperials. This was a truth Miek experienced directly when he was quite young. His father and hive were slaughtered by a unit of Imperials by the order of the Red King. The Red King desired the hive's land and resourced, which were granted to Miek's hive by the previous emperor for his father's honorable service in the Spike War. Miek survived the slaughter only to be taken as a slave.

Over time, he became a runaway known as Miek the Unhived, a taboo that made him an outcast even among other Natives. The sense of community was so strong among his people that most Natives did not survive for more than one or two years unhived, but Miek was unique and managed to endure.

Eventually, Miek was recaptured and enslaved once more, but this time he was sold off to be a gladiator and likely die in the arena.

Powers
Miek is a member of an insectoid species that is native to Sakaar. They are typically short (shorter than a normal human) and thin, bipedal, and have four arms and an armored exoskeleton. After changing into King Miek, Miek became much larger and thicker (comparable to the size of the Hulk or Korg). He is much stronger than before and his armor is also much thicker and more durable, able to withstand blows from the Hulk. He could be comparable to a giant cockroach in that aspect.

Like other members of his race, Miek possesses a low level form of telepathy which he can use to communicate to other members of his species sharing common memories and experiences (a process known as chemming). This ability is not limited only to members of his race, as when he accepted the Warbound as members of his hive they were able to become involved in the chemming process once Miek initiated it. When this happens they are drawn into the chemming without necessarily consenting to it.
