| significant_issues = Brought together by the Collector for a game with the Grand Master (Hulk #00, 0000); Paired up with a different member of the Defenders on a separate battlefield (Hulk #00, 0000); Betrayed by Red Hulk and each were killed until Grandmaster resurrected them (Hulk #00, 0000)  bio_text= The [[Elders of the Universe]] possess nearly infinite amounts of power, and with it, they do as they wish without fear of reprisal. Their endeavors brought them to [[Earth]] several times where they pit one or more super-powered individuals against each other for their own amusement. The [[Grandmaster]] is the most notorious of the Elders to do this - making wagers with other beings at the expense of those he deems less significant than himself. Such was the case when Grandmaster and the [[Collector (Taneleer Tivan)|Collector]] decided to play a game where the losing group would forfeit their very lives. The Grandmaster chose to begin with the [[Hulk (Bruce Banner)|Hulk]] and allowed him to choose his teammates, so Hulk chose the original [[Defenders]]: [[Silver Surfer]], [[Namor]] and [[Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange)|Doctor Strange]]. The Collector began with the Hulk's newest nemesis, the [[Red Hulk]], and he chose [[Baron Mordo]], [[Terrax]] and [[Tiger Shark]] to be his Offenders.  bio_text= The [[Elders of the Universe]] possess nearly infinite amounts of power, and with it, they do as they wish without fear of reprisal.
