Powers/Abilities: Darkshorn had a number of magical abilities sufficient to allow him to drive off and usurp the home of the resident sorcerer Saraband, at least when catching Saraband off guard.

    Darkshorn could generate an expanding spell of darkness, with everything that fell under its pall falling under Darkshorn's dark power.

    Darkshorn could trap even another sorcerer within a "sleep spell of death" that might take seven days to take effect

    Darkshorn rode a chariot driven by a pair of griffins, and he was also served by an unidentified number of Demons, dinosaur-like creatures, dragon, harpies, minotaurs, ogres, trolls, yeti-like creature(s) and more.

    After gaining sufficient power from his spell's expansion, Darkshorn could grow to immense size and project bursts of mystical energy.

(HULK#21 - BTS) - Banner ultimately used Nimbli's sword to slay the dragon, after which Nimbli brought Banner to Saraband's castle ship. Saraband told Banner of the Myth-Realm's nature, origins, and history, and clarified that pathways to Earth were inaccessible until Banner could defeat Darkshorn and set the Myth-Realm free. Additionally, Saraband explained that as only a monster could enter and survive the dark tower, and that only a man could rescue Morgaina, they needed a man who was both man and monster.

    As it was already the 7^th day of the sleep spell, Saraband urged haste, as Morgaina's death and thus the destruction of Myth-Realm was imminent.

    Armed with a sword, Banner fought his way through trolls, harpies, ogres, dragons, and more. As they reached the high tower, one of Darkshorn's demons grabbed Nimbli and began flying away, but Nimbli hurled Saraband's vial/potion to Banner. Drinking it, Banner became the Hulk, and he leapt and punched out the demon, recovering Nimbli and then continuing on to the tower. The Hulk swiftly subdued the monsters there (a dinosaur-creature, a minotaur, a yeti-like creature, and another demon).

(HULK#21) - Darkshorn then arrived in a griffin-drawn carriage, irate that Saraband had sent a man-monster against him. Vowing to win nonetheless, Darkshorn resolved that even if the man-monster freed Morgaina from her spell of sleep, they would both remain trapped in the tower for all time.

    The Hulk tore off the dark material covering Morgaina and touched her cheek, reviving her. Initially startled, Morgaina saw the beauty in the Hulk's heart, and she proclaimed him to be her hero and to be beautiful. When Darkshorn warned that though she had regained control of the high tower, if she would leave it, she would die instantly.

    Proclaiming her gratitude, Morgaina suspended time in her hourglass, and for "a time called forever" she and the Hulk enjoyed a romance. Darkshorn waited outside, biding his time.

    Eventually, however, the Hulk refused to believe she loved him, and he shattered the hourglass, breaking the spell and allowing time to move forward anew.

    Wishing vengeance on Saraband, Darkshorn offered that if the Hulk surrendered his life, Morgaina could go free, but Morgaina warned that Darkshorn could not be trusted, and he would slay her anyway.

    Considering that Morgaina could not leave the tower, the Hulk tore the tower free from the castle and carried it to the seaside town beyond the spread of evil where Saraband's ship resided. Outside the region of darkness, Morgaina was able to exit the tower, and she was reunited with Saraband seconds before Darkshorn arrived atop the spreading dark clouds, announcing that he was willing to risk his own life to achieve victory by defeating the man-monster who had humiliated him. The Hulk confronted Darkshorn, tearing free the griffins and the chariot, but Darkshorn remained aloft under his own power while the Hulk fell back to the ground.

    Exclaiming his own power, Darkshorn grew to to perhaps 75-100' tall and unleashed sorcerous withering death-energies at the Hulk.

    However, the Hulk shrugged off these assaults, and he leapt to the attack nonetheless. Darkshorn shouted in denial of the Hulk's assault, but the Hulk reached Darkshorn's face and punched him out, causing him to vanish in a burst of light and a "NOOOOOOOoooo" and a "SPA-BOOM."

(HULK#21 - BTS) - The dark clouds then faded away, replaced by sunlight and singing birds, and the Hulk was hailed as Myth-Realm's savior before reverting to Banner when Morgaina kissed him.
