Korg was a member of the rock-skinned race of extraterrestrial beings known as the Kronans where he was the son of O-Korg and Ahna. (Incredible Hulk v2 #94)

Many years ago, he along with his brothers including Margus were part of a Kronan expedition force that looked for new worlds to conquer. They came upon Earth with the young warriors being wild and ready to conquer the plane. It was then that they found their first native who was Thor with Margus suggesting that they capture him for study. Despite their strength, they were overpowered by their foes Asgardian power who easily broke the very rock from their skin.

(Incredible Hulks v1 #620) They had even attempted to imprison him in a cage though their foe broke free from it. In desperation, the dispatched their mechano warbot but it too was destroyed and fearing that other natives were equally powerful the fearful Kronans fled Earth. (Incredible Hulk v2 #94)

Korg has become one of the Hulk's most reliable allies. He was one of the few who survived Sakaar's destruction. He accompanied the Hulk to Earth to get revenge upon the Illuminati, a secret cabal of heroes responsible for the Hulk's exile. While the Hulk threatened to destroy New York City, Korg attempted to broach communication with Earth's civilian populace. When he discovered that his Warbound ally, Arch-E-5912 had been murdered, Korg warned the New York City police department that he would aggressively investigate the matter until the killer could be identified. (World War Hulk: Front Line v1 #1)

Following the crash, he came to believe that his comrades were slain and thus he fled onto the surface of Sakaar where he managed to escape into the mountains. For years, he came to operate there in secret where he protected the people of a village by killing any threat to them. This led to the inhabitants referring to him as the mysterious mountain god that watched over them. One day, one of the villagers was implanted with an obedience disk and forced to attack his home with Korg killing him but was unaware of the fact that it was one of the people he had protected. This event affected Korg greatly as he came to mourn the loss of the life he had taken. (World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound v1 #3)

However, a mysterious portal sent him to Weirdworld where he upon soldiers working for the Roxxon Energy Corporation that were being attacked by fearsome predators called Skrullduggers.

His inner monologue states that he came to Weirdworld after hearing that Hulk is back from the dead. In the present, Korg learns from Dario Agger that the Roxxon soldiers are safe in a bunker in Weirdworld. As Weapon H leads the mission to Weirdworld, they are attacked by a tribe of blue-skinned humanoids called the Inaku who blame them for breaking the Earth and allowing the Skrullduggers to take their queen. (Weapon H v1 #8) After Weapon H frees his fellow captives, he has Korg and Titania stay behind to help Man-Thing fortify the Inaku village in case the Skrullduggers show up while Weapon H, Angel, and Blake go on a stealth mission to the Roxxon outpost. He and Titania help the Inaku set up a pit filled with spikes that are coated in berry poison. (Weapon H v1 #9) When the Skrullduggers attack, Man-Thing, Korg, and Titania assist the Inaku in defending their fortified village from the Skrullduggers until they suddenly go in one direction. (Weapon H v1 #10) Korg, Man-Thing, Titania find Weapon H with the Skrullduggers under Morgan le Fay's control as they attack the Inaku village. Thinking that Weapon H is in a battle frenzy, Korg reminds Titania that Weapon H is part-Hulk. When Morgan le Fay of Earth-15238 shows up and is identified as a queen to the Inaku, Titania and Korg are attacked by Protector Hara, the Skrullduggers, and Weapon H. Korg faces off against Weapon H. (Weapon H v1 #11) Korg and Titania catch up to Weapon H where they find that Dario has transformed into Minotaur. When everyone evacuates through the portal during Minotaur's fight with Morgan le Fay, Korg carries Sonia through the portal.
