==Biography==
===Early Life===
When Caiera the Oldstrong, was incinerated in the blasts that destroyed Crown City, along with most of the inhabitants of Sakaar, it was assumed that both she and her unborn child perished. However, by some unknown phenomenon, Skaar survived. Rising from the ashes of the charred planet, he was christened with the name of Skaar, and the title Son of Sakaar.
The Son of Hulk, having survived the monsters of the radioactive swamps, defeated the barbarian general Axeman of the Fillians. Not long after, Skaar locked horns with the warrior Princess Omaka. The Princess and Skaar joined forces to defend Sakaar’s refugees from the invading barbarians. Hailed as a savior, Skaar walked the Prophet's Walk through the Great Desert of Sakaar. Once in the shadow of the holy stone, he claimed his Old Power, his birthright as promised by Old Sam of the Clear-Eye Shadow. Skaar's ascension was spoiled however, when the hidden technology Old Sam sought to use to awaken the Old Power within Skaar was cannibalized by the Wildebots.
Despite this set back there was still a chance that the power would awaken on its own. Before this mystery could unravel, however, the holy rock was destroyed by Hiro Amin, the Axeman's Blind Shadow Priest. His attack was blistering with amazing new strength promising nothing but destruction for Skaar and the refugees. Unknown to all present, Old Sam had once tried to train Hiro-Amin to control the Old Power, but he lacked the discipline and skill to master the secret power of the Shadow People. Skaar was able to defeat Hiro-Amin by separating him from the planet - thereby decreasing his power.
After seeing the might of the Old Power, Skaar went out to master it. He soon found himself allied with the Former King, who was saved from death and rebuilt with a majority of cybernetic parts by the Wildebots. After becoming his ally, many people who considered him a savior, including the Omaka, daughter of the Red King lost faith in him and allied themselves with Axeman Bone.
