When the Hulk's presence on Earth becomes too great a risk, the Illuminati trick him to board a shuttle destined for a planet where he will be able to live in peace, and launch it into space. The Hulk's struggle to escape causes the shuttle to malfunction and crash land on the planet Sakaar, however, where he is sold into slavery and trained as a gladiator.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Greg Pak's 2006 comic run directly inspired Thor: Ragnarok's Sakaar scenes, but this animated version keeps the original's darker ending.
The Illuminati's betrayal of Hulk here mirrors Marvel Comics' Civil War era distrust of superheroes—Iron Man, Black Bolt, Mr. Fantastic and Namor all signed off on this.
