When one of his Hulkbusters team-mates was killed in a training mission that was interrupted by Dr Leonard Samson, LaRoquette swore vengence against anything with gamma-irradiated blood. Though having to work with Dr Samson as part of a deal with SHIELD, he still wished to kill both the Hulk. When Nick Fury shut down the Hulkbusters, the Leader offered him and his former team-mate Craig Saunders Jr. a chance to help him to defeat the Hulk. The Leader changed LaRoquette into a stone-exoskeleton wearing machine of destruction. |
