Miek is an insectoid alien from Sakaar who was forced underground after the Imperials attacked and killed most of his hive. He was rescued during Hulk's battle with the Red King and worked with him to free his brothers. During this time, he underwent a metamorphosis and evolved into a giant armored form.
Miek located one of the last Queens of his race at an egg farm at which the Warbound were hiding, but she had been consumed by a Spike infection and had to be killed.[volume & issue needed] Miek led the Warbound in Hulk's place while he attempted to ally with Caiera and Hiroim's people.[volume & issue needed]
Following Caiera's death, Miek and the Warbound accompany the Hulk back to Earth, pledging to aid him in his quest for vengeance.[1] After learning that Miek had known of his ship's damaged power core, but never told him, the Hulk attacks and nearly kills him.[2] Afterwards, he is imprisoned in Negative Zone Prison Alpha.[3]
After Amatsu-Mikaboshi becomes the Chaos King, Miek escapes the Negative Zone and attacks Amadeus Cho and Galactus before being defeated by the former.[4]
After being exposed to Amatsu-Mikaboshi's energy, Miek becomes female and moves to the Savage Land. After killing numerous Sakaarans, she attracts the Hulk's attention and is ultimately killed in a battle with him.[5][6][7]
Miek is an insect-like alien with superhuman strength and durability, and the ability to fly.[8] As a gladiator, he developed six-limbed fighting skills, often wielding four weapons at a time to keep his opponents off-balance.[9]
In the What If? issue revolving around Planet Hulk called What if Caiera the Oldstrong had survived the destruction of Sakaar instead of the Hulk?, Miek is killed when Sakaar is destroyed.
