History:
(Tales to Astonish I#67/2) - Kanga Khan and his assistant discovered an unconscious Bruce Banner, who -- as the Hulk -- had traveled to Mongolia after an adventure in Russia. Khan debated simply killing the foreigner, but Banner convinced him that he was wealthy and Khan would be richly rewarded if he turned him over to Americans. Khan's agents sent word to the US that he was holding Banner hostage, and General Ross sent Major Glen Talbot to recover Banner. After Talbot arrived, Khan's group of bandits were attacked by Hakun Gantu and his Raiders, rivals of Khan, seeking to steal the American and the ransom money for themselves. Outnumbered, Khan led his bandits to flee into the hills, and Banner and Talbot escaped in the confusion.
