Fictional character biography
Amphibion is an amphibious creature from the planet Xantares, considered a powerful fighter, the Xantarean supreme warrior. He was mutated by the Xantarean Grand Council of Elders, and sent to claim the Sphere of Ultimate Knowledge on the home planet of the Watcher. Amphibion fought the Hulk over the Sphere, nearly drowning his opponent. Amphibion was exiled from Xantares when he returned after his failure.[1]
He later assisted the Sagittarians, along with the Hulk, Torgo, and Dark-Crawler against the Galaxy Master and the Abomination.[2]
Amphibion returned to Xantares with the aid of the Hulk but found it decimated and was determined to help rebuild it.[3]
