Brief Bio:
On planets far, far from the Milky Way, a pair of planets have been waging a war for countless generations. The green, shape-shifting Skrulls, and the powerful Kree. The two sides had fought so long, only their elders even knew why the battle started in the first place. However, as this happened, a love began to bloom just of of the battlefield. A princess of the Skrull kingdom began to have a loving affair with one of the Kree’s best warriors. The two met in private constantly. Always extremely careful about their plans for doing so and explaining their absent moments from the others. The two began to talk about leaving their respective planets, fearing what would happen if their respective races found out, and agreeing to travel to the long away planet of Earth doing so.
As they continued to plan however things took a horrible turn. The princess became pregnant, and it didn’t take long for people to realize who was the man to fertilize her. Both sides suddenly grew more hostile at the mere notion of this love. The Kree warrior was sentenced to be executed, and on the same night, the princess tearfully escaped her own people in a spacecraft. She escaped to Earth where she ended up needing SHIELD’s help in giving birth to Dorrek VIII. In exchanged they asked if she’d be willing to help in tests to learn more about the skrulls. She was hesitant but complied in thanks. Over time she became an assistant of sorts to SHIELD. Teaching them all about the various species of aliens out there and becoming their expert on the subject.
Outside of her SHIELD work the woman now known as Michelle Altman raised her son Theodore in a Manhattan apartment. Privately she taught him everything she knew about being a skrull, though still struggled as Teddy also showed the strength of a Kree warrior. She made sure as he grew up to never be ashamed of who he was. Teddy grew up with the chip on his shoulder. Though was always a bit worried about how people would take to him, especially as he was in middle school and realized he was gay. He did end up with a boyfriend in a guy named Greg Norris. A star football player in his high school. However after dating for a while Teddy showed him what he was in reality, and Greg left him immediately calling him a mutant freak.
Soon after, still reeling, Teddy met Billy Kaplan at a comic book trade show. The two hit it off immediately. Becoming a loving pair, especially after they both realized what they were capable of during the days when all the adults vanished. Now SHIELD has recruited the two for the Young Avengers project. With the both of them ready and willing.
Abilities:
Hulkling’s powers stem from his biological mother and father, a Skrull princess and superpowered Kree warrior. The skrull half of himself gives him the ability to transform his appearance, size, and shape. This can also affect his strength if he increases his mass. Typically in combat Hulkling will create foot long claws on his hands and wings on his back unless the situation calls for something else. Along with all this, Teddy’s skrull powers allow him faster recovery time from injuries, as well as his body subconsciously able to move important organs out of the way should he get impaled.
As for Teddy’s Kree physiology gives him superpowers like his father, granting him super-human strength, strength that is actually mightier than a Kree or a Skrull, as well as super-human durability.
Personality:
A bit of a ‘tops’ person in his relationship, Teddy lives up to his nickname by having a sort of teddy bear demeanor about him. His very protective of friends and loved ones, but not afraid to start swinging if he feels cornered. All that said though Teddy is not only proud to be a superhero, and proud of his boyfriend being a superhero as well, but he takes great pride in learning from superheroes he idolizes.
Having met Billy at a comic book convention in New York, it should be no surprise that Teddy happens to be a bit of a nerd for the subject. Though not quite as much as Billy is, Teddy still has a bit of a starstruck feeling whenever he meets a big time hero.
As much as he resents both the Skrulls and Kree for not only their neverending wars, and what they did with his father and almost his mother. Teddy’s mother has made sure he remains proud of who he is, though smart about not being too blatant about it in public. Still as much as Teddy is a proud alien, he considers if nothing else Earth his true home.
Appearance:
When Teddy is a more unassuming ‘normal’ person. He stands around roughly 6’2 usually and his body tends to be different based on how his feeling that day. Sometimes a lean, fit frame, other times a bulky, muscular body. Othertimes still, in a very rare few moments done either just for laughs or embarrass his boyfriend, he has gone out in public looking comically fat.
Either way, Teddy has more than a few piercings around the rim of his ears, something he did on his 16th birthday when his friends dared him too. Outside of his costume Teddy tends to wear either skateboarding or nerdy shirts his boyfriend gave him, jeans or cargo pants, and a pair of slightly worn out skate shoes.
Affliation:
