VILLAIN OF THE DAY: THE MAESTRO !

Today's "Villain of the Day" is THE MAESTRO!
(from Hulk: Future Imperfect)

In an alternate future of the Marvel universe, a nuclear war killed most of humanity, including the majority of Earth's superheroes. One of the few survivors was the Hulk, who found that he simply absorbed the radiation, greatly increasing his strength. The Hulk declared himself "the Maestro" and set out to conquer the remaining world, along with his cousin, the She-Hulk (now calling herself "Shulk") and the Abomination. The latter two eventually betrayed him; the Abombination was exiled, and Shulk was imprisoned in the Maestro's castle.

Maestro, a brutal tyrant, rules all living beings that inhabit Dystopia, a jade city of his own design protected by radiation shielding. In the city, high-tech and brutal soldiers keep the "peace" and impose the Maestro's will. If you are lucky, the Maestro will take one of your daughters to become a member of his Herim. Sure, she probably won't last long (who would?!!), but atleast your Village shall not go starving that season and know some sort of peace.....most likely.

Physically the Maestro is an older version of the Hulk and retains all the smarts from Mr. Banner himself. He possesses even greater physical abilities than his present-day counterpart, and is not hampered by any moral or ethical considerations. The Maestro's body absorbed the radiation left over in Earth's atmosphere and the base level of his strength has been increased to a level far surpassing that of the present-day Hulk. The Incredible Hulk, however, appears to still be able to achieve greater rage than the Maestro.
