The Puffball Collective is an alien who the Hulk meets after being banished to the Crossroads, a dimension that links to all other dimensions. It tries to help him survive after he loses his sanity and is reduced to a feral, animalistic state.[1]
Unable to leave the Crossroads, Hulk and the Puffball Collective travel through it and battle the U-Foes and Klaatu.[2] Afterward, the two return to the Collective's home world, which was ravaged by the demonic N'Garai and sealed off by a chained gate. However, Hulk learns that the Collective previously summoned the N'Garai while studying magic and was banished to the Crossroads as punishment. In response, he leaves it to be attacked by the N'Garai and repairs the gate so that it cannot escape.[3][4]
Powers and abilities
The Puffball Collective possesses telepathy, and can alter its shape and regenerate if damaged due to its non-solid body. However, it is unable to alter its size and is vulnerable to fire.
