==Publication history==
[[Stan Lee]] chose the name "the Abomination", which he realized belonged to no other character, before conceiving the character's background and appearance. Lee recalled that he simply told the artist [[Gil Kane]] to "make him bigger and stronger than the [[Hulk]] and we'll have a lot of fun with him".<ref>{{Cite news|author=Tim Lammers |title=Stan Lee Pumped Over Return Of 'Incredible Hulk' |work=[[KCRA-TV]] |date=2008-06-11 |url=http://www.kcra.com/entertainment/16574962/detail.html |access-date=2008-06-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013230843/http://www.kcra.com/entertainment/16574962/detail.html |archive-date=2008-10-13 }}</ref>

==Fictional character biography==
Emil Blonsky was born in [[Zagreb]] (then part of [[Yugoslavia]], now the capital and largest city of [[Croatia]]) and became a [[KGB]] agent who infiltrated an Air Force base in New Mexico where Dr. Bruce Banner was attempting to kill the Hulk through overexposure to gamma rays. Blonsky triggers Banner turning into the Hulk, subsequently becoming a hideous lizard-like creature himself.<ref>''Tales to Astonish'' #89 (April 1967).

The Abomination reappears when summoned by a [[coven]] of [[witches]] to briefly battle the cosmic hero the [[Silver Surfer]]<ref>''Silver Surfer'' #12 (Jan. 1970). Marvel Comics.</ref> and uses a Stranger's technology to summon Thor and escape the Stranger's laboratory world. Thor frees the Abomination and the other captives, but, on discovering they are all evil, uses his mystic hammer [[Mjolnir (comics)|Mjolnir]] to [[time travel]] several hours into the past to undo his mistake. After defeating the Abomination and placing the Abomination in prison, Thor departs.<ref name="Thor  #178 July 1970"/> When the Hulk is defeated by the alien Xeron the Star Slayer and brought aboard a space vessel, the Abomination is revealed to be [[Chief mate|First Mate]] of the alien crew. When the captain of the vessel directs Xeron and the crew to battle a creature in space, the Hulk and the Abomination are thrown from the vessel and battle until the pair are drawn into Earth's [[orbit]] and separated.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #136–137 (March–April 1971). Marvel Comics.</ref>

It is revealed in [[Flashback (narrative)|flashback]] that the Abomination entered into a [[coma]]-like state upon impacting with Earth and is buried for two years. Revived by an off-course [[missile]] fired from [[Hulkbusters|Hulkbuster]] Base (under Ross's jurisdiction), the Abomination joins forces with General Ross to defeat the Hulk, but is battered into submission by an angered Hulk.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #159 (Jan. 1973). Marvel Comics.</ref> The Abomination reappears with fellow Hulk foe the [[Rhino (character)|Rhino]], and the pair activates a gamma bomb at the Hulkbuster base in an attempt to destroy the Hulk. The Hulk's companion of the time, [[Jim Wilson (comics)|Jim Wilson]], deactivates the bomb and the Hulk tricks the villains during combat, forcing them to collide and knock each other [[Unconsciousness|unconscious]].<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #171 (Jan. 1974). Marvel Comics.</ref> A comatose Abomination is eventually found by soldiers at Ross's direction and has a miniature bomb implanted in his [[Human skull|skull]], being told to fight and defeat the Hulk or be killed. The Abomination tricks the Hulk into an alliance and betrays Ross by attempting to [[ransom]] the captured [[Kennedy Space Center]]. The plan fails when the Hulk turns on the Abomination and the pair fight, with the Abomination being caught on a [[rocket]] when it explodes.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #194–196 (Dec. 1975 – Feb. 1976). Marvel Comics.</ref>

An [[illusion]] of the Abomination also appears with illusions of other Hulk foes when the Hulk (at the time possessing the intelligence of Banner, thanks to a device called the Encephalo-Helmet) enters [[Glenn Talbot]]'s brain at [[Microscopic scale|microscopic]] size to excise a [[mental block]] placed in Talbot's mind by the [[Gremlin (comics)|Gremlin]].<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #200 (June 1976). Marvel Comics.</ref>

The Abomination eventually reappears as a servant of the alien entity the [[Galaxy Master]], having been empowered with even greater strength. After another extended battle with the Hulk, the Hulk attacks and destroys the Galaxy Master, causing the Abomination to weaken and apparently become lost in [[Outer space|space]].<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #270 (April 1982). Marvel Comics.</ref> When [[MODOK]] invades Hulkbuster Base, he colludes with General Ross to revive the Abomination, who was found in a block of ice above Earth and kept in [[cryogenic]] storage for further study. MODOK intends to use the Abomination against his superiors at [[Advanced Idea Mechanics|A.I.M.]], while Ross wants to use him to destroy the Hulk. The Abomination, however, has become afraid of the Hulk as a result of their past battles and has to be mentally forced by MODOK to even ''fight'' the Hulk. MODOK, however, is ousted by A.I.M., and a hesitant Abomination is beaten by the Hulk when he intervenes to save Banner's laboratory assistant. The Abomination refuses to rejoin the fight, and is disintegrated by MODOK.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #287–290 (Sept.–Nov. 1983). Marvel Comics.</ref>

During the ''[[Secret Wars II]]'' storyline, the Abomination is restored by the demon-lord [[Mephisto (Marvel Comics)|Mephisto]], who directs the Abomination and other villains against the cosmic entity the [[Beyonder]] as a member of the Legion Accursed.<ref>''Secret Wars II'' #1–9 (July 1985 – March 1986). Marvel Comics.</ref>

The restoration is temporary, as a still-disembodied Abomination's atoms mingle with the disembodied atoms of the villain [[Tyrannus (comics)|Tyrannus]], who reintegrates the Abomination's body and places it under his mind's control. Tyrannus, as the Abomination, then comes into conflict with the Gray Hulk, and quickly defeats the weaker version of their foe. When the Hulk reverts to Banner, Tyrannus forces him to create a procedure that will remove Blonsky's mind, who is mentally fighting Tyrannus' mind for control of the Abomination's body. The process is successful and Blonksy is restored to his human form, free of Tyrannus, whose mind is still occupying the form of the Abomination. An enraged Gray Hulk defeats Tyrannus, who is placed into custody by the organization [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]]<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 Annual #15 (Jan. 1986). Marvel Comics.</ref>

After encounters against [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] [[Wonder Man]]<ref>''West Coast Avengers'' #25 (Oct. 1987). Marvel Comics.</ref> and [[Hawkeye (Clint Barton)|Hawkeye]],<ref>''Solo Avengers'' #12 (Nov. 1988). Marvel Comics.</ref> the Tyrannus-controlled Abomination reappears during the "[[Atlantis Attacks]]" storyline with the [[Deviant (comics)|Deviant]] [[Ghaur]] freeing Tyrannus from the body of the Abomination by restoring Tyrannus' mind to a duplicate of his own body and placing Blonsky's mind within the Abomination's body once more. The process drives Blonksy insane, and he battles heroes [[Spider-Man]] and the [[She-Hulk]], managing to knock both unconscious. The Abomination is eventually driven off when set on fire by the She-Hulk.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' Annual #23 (1989). Marvel Comics.</ref> The Abomination's mental faculties eventually return and the Abomination reappears in the "Countdown" storyline as a pawn of another Hulk foe, the [[Leader (character)|Leader]]. The Abomination is sent to a [[toxic waste]] site to collect samples and encounters the gray version of the Hulk again, who is outmatched and also weak due to being [[poison]]ed. The Hulk, however, throws the Abomination into toxic waste that partially dissolves and horribly scars the Abomination.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #364–367 (Dec. 1989–March 1990). Marvel Comics.</ref>

The Abomination temporarily teams with villains [[Titania (Marvel Comics)|Titania]] and [[Gargantua (comics)|Gargantua]]<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' Annual #19 (Jan. 1991). Marvel Comics.</ref> and finds and stalks his former wife, Nadia (a famous [[ballet]] dancer).

Marvel Comics.</ref> The Abomination retaliates against the [[NYPD]] when the [[Police Commissioner]] orders the sewers be cleared of all homeless, who the Abomination has placed under his protection. After killing several police officers, he is eventually driven away when confronted by the Hulk.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2 #431–432 (July–Aug. 1995). Marvel Comics.</ref> The Abomination battles the mutant [[Nate Grey]] (who is searching the sewers for his lover and fellow mutant [[Threnody]], who had been one of the homeless followers of the Abomination), who uses his mental abilities to trick the Abomination in thinking that he defeated Grey.<ref>''X-Man'' vol. 2 #19–20 (Sept.–Oct. 1996).

The circumstances of Betty's death are eventually revealed: Blonksy's transformation into the Abomination apparently alienates his former wife Nadia, driving his hatred of Banner; Blonsky, deciding to deprive Banner of Betty in return, secretly [[poison]]s her with his radioactive blood. After hearing the Abomination's admission, Banner eventually discovers the truth and the Hulk defeats the Abomination in a battle. Taken into custody by the military, Blonsky is forced to watch old [[home movie]]s of him and his wife together (prior to his transformation) as punishment.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 3 #24–25 (March–April 2001).

The Abomination reappears after the events of ''World War Hulk'', encountering a new foe called the [[Red Hulk]]. This new opponent savagely beats, shoots, and kills the Abomination.<ref name="Hulk' 2008"/> Later on, it is revealed that the Abomination's killer, the Red Hulk, is actually General Ross's gamma-powered alter ego; he killed Blonsky as an act of revenge for his deliberate gamma poisoning (and later death) of Ross's daughter Betty.<ref>''Hulk'' vol. 2 #23.
