History:
(Incredible Hulk III#95 - BTS) - When
the Warbound broke out of the Great Arena, a number of freed slaves
accompanied him.
(Incredible
Hulk
III#96(fb) - BTS) - An Imperial loyal to the Red King and his forces
infiltrated those accompanying the Warbound when the escaped the Arena.
(Incredible Hulk III#96) - Around a
campfire in the Twisted Wood, the infiltrator tried to undermine the
Hulk, telling the others that the Green Scar hadn't said a word to them
since they left the Arena and that he didn't think the Green Scar had
any idea what they were doing. Miek, Arch-E5912, and an Imperial
dedicated to the Green Scar all voiced their support, with the latter
vowing to follow him wherever he left.
The infiltratrator told the follower he
was an idiot and that he should open his eyes, as the Green Scar was not
their to help them, but rather was a monster, an alien animal, dangerous
and deadly like all of his crew. Calling the infiltrator "Badmouth,"
Miek advised him to hold his tongue, but the Infiltrator continued that
-- if he was smart -- the follower would run away while he still could,
insisting that the Green Scar was a killer, a thief, and a pagan. Miek
warned "Badmouth" that he wasn't kidding, and when "Badmouth" continued
that the Green Scar ate people, Miek called him a liar and tackled him.
Flanked by Korg and No-Name of the Brood, the Hulk taunted "Badmouth," noting that the more "that puny pinkie" talked, the hungrier he got. As the infiltrator fled, Miek told "Badmouth" to keep running. No-Name offered to go after him, but the Hulk told her no.
(Incredible Hulk III#96 - BTS) -
Correctly suspecting the motives and alliance of "Badmouth," the Hulk
evacuated the camp, leaving only himself and Korg behind.
(Incredible Hulk III#96) - Via
communication device, "Badmouth" reported to Caiera that the camp was
completely vulnerable on low ground in a valley between two mountains
with a few rows of forest fortifications. He advised that they could
follow his trace but that there was smoke all over from their campfires
and that the Imperial forces couldn't miss it. Despite "Badmouth"'s
request to move out a bit further, Caiera instructed him to hold his
ground.
(Incredible Hulk III#96 - BTS) - Despite Caiera's concerns that this was a trick, the Governor of Wukar (Denebo Aruc III) ordered that the bombardment begin.
(Incredible Hulk III#96) - Seeing the Amebids overhead bearing bombs, "Badmouth" realized the danger and began fleeing, only to run into the Hulk and Korg, who told him, "There's nobody here but us monsters." They blocked "Badmouth" from running away, and he tearfully watched as the falling bombs approached. "Badmouth" was consumed by the bombs, to which the Hulk and Korg were immune.
(Incredible Hulk III#96 - BTS) -
Subsequently investigating the site they had bombed, Caiera found and
kicked aside the skull of "Badmouth," and she reported to Denebo that it
was a decoy and that the only body present was their own spy.
Denebo ordered that their trackers be dispersed, and
Caiera noted that they already had been, but that the bombs had destroyed
all tracks within the valley.
