History
In his first of several appearances, little was revealed about Hulkling save for the fact he was raised by a single mother. All this changed when the shape-shifting extraterrestrial known as the Super-Skrull showed up, saying that Teddy was a Skrull. The Super-Skrull was surprised to learn that Teddy had super strength and wondered "perhaps the rumors about his father are true."
The Super Skrull followed the Young Avengers to Wiccan's house, where Teddy's mother was waiting for him. The Super-Skrull released a device designed to turn Teddy into his true form, trying to prove to him his Skrull heritage. But the device didn't change Teddy's physical appearance, instead Ms. Altman, who was also caught in the device's beam, turned into a Skrull. When the Super Skrull accused her of being a traitor to her race, she responded by saying that the Empress ordered her to protect Teddy. Before she could say much else, the Super-Skrull killed her.
The Super-Skrull then revealed that, several years ago, during the Kree-Skrull War, he kidnapped Captain Mar- Vell, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch and presented them to the Skrull Emperor. While the heroes later escaped, the Emperor's daughter, Princess Anelle, conceived a child with Mar-Vell. At birth, the child was immediately exiled and grew up on Earth as Teddy. Kree soldiers then arrived to help Teddy, stating that the Kree look after their own. A battle then erupted between the Kree and the Skrull, both claiming Teddy as their own. The only solution that Teddy saw to end the war was surrender. It was settled that Teddy would spend half an Earth-year with the Kree and the other half with the Skrull, at which time he would declare his ultimate allegiance, while also being able to make scheduled visits to Earth. However "Teddy" was the Super- Skrull disguised as him, therefore the real Teddy stayed on Earth.
