Unfortunately, Caiera, her unborn child, and millions of others seemingly perished when a spaceship exploded in Incredible Hulk vol. III #104. Though his first chronological appearance is in What If? Planet Hulk #1, Hulk and Caiera's child (named Skaar) makes his first appearance in regular continuity in November 2007's issue of World War Hulk #5. Skaar arose from the ashes of Sakaar and he was raised by monsters and he is destined to conquer. He never met his parents but has messages from his mother in his headSavage World of Sakaar
It was believed that her child was never to have the blessing of life. He was born when mother, Caiera the Oldstrong, was incinerated in the blasts that destroyed Crown City, along with most of the inhabitants of Sakaar, it was assumed that both of them lost their lives in this massive explosion. However, his existence is unknown to his father, by some unknown phenomenon, her child rose from the ashes of the charred planet. He was christened with the name of Skaar, and the title Son of Sakaar.
The Son of the Hulk has survived the monsters and of the radioactive swamps, then defeated the barbarian general Axeman of the Fillians. Not long after the defeat of the Axeman Bone, Skaar locked horns with the warrior Princess Omaka. The Princess and Skaar joined forces to defend Sakaar’s refugees from the invading barbarians. Hailed as a savior, Skaar walked the Prophet's Walk through the Great Desert of Sakaar. Once in the shadow of the holy stone, he claimed his birthright of the Old Power promised by Old Sam of the Clear-Eye Shadow. Skaar's ascension to his birthright was spoiled when the hidden technology Old Sam, sought to use to awaken the Old Power within Skaar was cannibalized by the Wildebots. However, there stood a chance that the power would awaken on its own. Before this mystery could unravel, however, the holy rock was destroyed by Hiro Amin, the Axeman's Blind Shadow Priest. His attack was blistering with amazing new strength promising nothing but destruction for Skaar and the refugees. Unbeknownst to all present, Old Sam had once tried to train Hiro-Amin to control the Old Power, but he lacked the discipline and skill to master the secret power of the Shadow People. Skaar was able to defeat Hiro-Amin by separating him form the planet - thereby decreasing his power. After seeing the might of the Old Power, Skaar is now seeking to master the Old Power. Soon after, he finds himself allied with the Former King, who was saved from death and rebuilt with a majority of cybernetic parts by the Wildebots. After becoming his ally, many people who considered him a savior, including the Omaka, daughter of the Red King lose faith in him and ally themselves with Axeman Bone. With his Oldstrong, he manages to see the acts of death committed by everyone on the planet and intends to kill Axeman and his followers, and almost succeeds, when the Silver Surfer makes a sudden return and manages to take away his Oldstrong power and reveals that Galactus is coming to the planet to consume it. He opts Skaar the chance to use the Oldstrong power to revive the ancient technology of the Shadows to evacuate the planet, becoming a hero of the universe as the planet Sakaar would have enough energy to satiate Galactus' hunger for a hundred thousand years. Throughout the series his mother, Caiera, spoke to him asking him to fight for good of the people of the planet, but he insisted on revenge, consumed with rage over Axeman Bone Through one final plea of his mother's spirit, she asked him to give up his rage, he instead proceeds into battle, with no regard for the innocent. Caiera, using the little of her strength left as a spirit, used her Oldstrong power to return in a stone form of herself initially, then in the image of his father. She proceeded to defeat him with ease and asks why he insisted on being a killer instead of a attempting to make peace. He then reveals his plan of killing everyone on the planet he deemed evil after glimpsing the destruction so many people made when he briefly wielded the power of Oldstrong.

Galactus Comes

She then absorbs the power of Sakaar and awaited for Galactus to consume her.
Planet Skaar
Skaar's Old Power allowed him to survive the trip through space to Earth, and when he made landfall, all those with a connection to his blood and his Old Power could sense it. They were drawn to him. Kate Waynesboro, She-Hulk and the Hulk were coming to him. But after an incident involving Skaar destroying a hunting helicopter, H.A.M.M.E.R. and the Fantastic Four were coming for him as well. Skaar was not interested in any of them. He only wanted to see his father. He only wanted to confront and kill the Hulk. She-Hulk and the Fantastic Four tried to reign him in, but the battle was interrupted by Norman Osborn having the site bombed. There was no sign of Skaar in the immediate aftermath, and it was believed he had been killed by the blast.
The Warbound found and reached out to Skaar, but he turned on them. He had no interest in their companionship. He was singleminded in his pursuit of the Hulk, and that was quickly answered as the Hulk arrived on the scene. The two fought despite the Warbound's initial attempt to stop it from happening. Skaar was outmatched by his father's strength, and soon it became apparent that the Hulk had no idea who any of them were. This was not the Hulk who had become king of Sakaar. This was an angry, low intellect Hulk who just wanted to smash. Skaar tried to push Hulk into remembering and becoming the Green Scar once again. He came close to succeeding, but Banner pushed those thoughts away and the Hulk lost interest in fighting Skaar. Their battle had caused collateral damage that risked a crisis at a nearby nuclear power plant. Hulk and the Warbound tried to contain it, but it was Skaar who used his Old Power to successfully do so. He then stabbed the Hulk with his sword and left saying he would return to finish the job when the Hulk was worth killing.
Father and Son
When Banner was rendered unable to become the Hulk anymore, he lured Skaar into a confrontation. Skaar was disappointed to find puny Banner and not the Hulk. He did not care about Banner. However, Banner made him a deal. Eventually, he would become the Hulk again, and when that happened, the Green Scar would most likely kill Skaar. So the deal was that Banner would train Skaar to kill the Hulk when the time came. Skaar seemed doubtful that he needed the help but accepted Banner's company.Banner's first lesson for Skaar came in the form of fighting the Juggernaut. Skaar could not stop the unstoppable, but he was able to hurl and punch it into orbit. Later, Banner explained to him the Conan joke that people kept making when they met him. It was then no time at all before Skaar's next confrontation. The X-Men had sent Wolverine after Skaar and Banner after what happened with Juggernaut. This coincided with Banner tipping off Daken to Skaar's whereabouts to stage a meeting like he did with Juggernaut. Banner kept Wolverine occupied while Skaar met with Daken. The two seemed to bond over their similarities, but things then took an unexpected turn. Skaar transformed again, and the child he became asked Daken to kill him. Daken was about to comply when Banner interfered by throwing Wolverine into Daken. The anger over being thwarted again caused the child to transform back into Skaar and fight. An element within Daken's claws neutralized Skaar's healing factor, and Skaar was nearly at Daken's mercy when Banner forced an end to the fight by threatening to kill Wolverine if Daken did not back down. The two father and son pairs parted ways.
Powers
Superhuman Strength: Like the Green Scar, his strength is based on his emotions. His strength decreases when he is at a calm state of mind and returns to his human form, and increases if he is enraged, meaning that he has almost limitless strength.
Superhuman Durability: Skaar has survived after a full impact of Power Cosmic aimed at him. he also survived when he fell from outer space, becoming a comet and diving to a huge chunk of rock and just second's he manages to stand up back to his feet and continues to battle.
Hand to Hand Combat: He is experienced in brawling beast's and Soldier's. even at his childhood, he battled many Barbarian Invaders that threatened to kill the innocent. and has defeated an Imperial Prime like the Axeman himself.
Weapon Master: Skaar has been shown in the comics wielding large Axes, Swords and Staffs. He is also a master at controlling the Old Power that he uses for his advantage and as his defense.
Power Cosmic: Silver Surfer showed him what it means when a mortal reaches for the powers of God's, so there is only Power Cosmic. Skaar has only obtained the Power Cosmic for minuets and manages to master it and challenges Galactus, but ultimately fails.
