10 Comic Book Betrayals We All Should Have Seen Coming

10. The Illuminati Blast Hulk Into Space - Incredible Hulk #91-92 (2006)

Years ago, Iron Man, Professor X, Black Bolt, Namor the Submariner, Reed Richards, Professor X, and Doctor Strange formed The Illuminati - a group brought together to discuss matters considered too dangerous for the public to know. Because The Illuminati make difficult or immoral decisions for the greater good, their discussions were kept secret for a long time, even from each member's teams and families.

When society grew tired of the Incredible Hulk's relentless rampages, The Illuminati took it upon themselves to get rid of him. After the Jade Giant was lured onto a space station, it sealed shut and blasted across the galaxy. As the spaceship began its journey, its computer played a recording of The Illuminati which informed the Hulk that their decision to banish him from Earth was harsh but justified.

Even though the green-skinned superhero was furious, you can't blame his teammates. After devastating cities and destroying entire worlds over the years, it was only a matter of time before the Hulk's rage resulted in the death of innocents. Considering Hulk shifted the tectonic plates when he returned to Earth one year later, nearly imploding the planet, The Illuminati's decision was perfectly reasonable.
