Origin: Psyklop and his people evolved from insects long ago and lived beneath the earth, worshipping Dark Gods, long before humans were around. For some reason, they fell out of favor with the Dark Gods and were put into an eternal sleep. Millenia later, the Dark Gods were in need of energy and awoke Psyklop and tasked him with finding an energy source. In return, they would awaken the rest of him people.

GREAT MOMENTS IN HISTORY

Avengers #88:After the Hulk had been rendered unconscious by the combined efforts of Reed Richards, Professor X, and Tony Stark, General Ross is about to take him prisoner when he mysteriously disappears. He talks to the Hulk telling him how his people lived beneath the earth long before humans ever walked on the land. His people got on the bad side of the Dark Gods they worshipped and were put into an enternal sleep. They have been like that for millenia until the Dark Gods awoke him to find an energy source for the Dark Gods and in return they will awake his people. Psyklop kidnapped the Hulk since he was the only creature with the power that would feed the Dark Gods their required powers. Psyklop decides to shrink down the Hulk so that he can study him further. Suddenly, the Avengers appear and attack Psyklop, distracting him. Before anybody realizes, the Hulk has been shrunk down to microscopic size and beyond. Psyklop uses his equipment and transports the Avengers far away.

The Incredible Hulk #140: Psyklop accidently shrunk the Hulk to sub-atomic size where the Hulk lands on Jarella's planet where the Hulk, with Bruce's mind, falls in love with her and decides to stay and start a new life as her husband. Psyklop finally tracks down the Hulk and, at much larger size, grabs him and takes him away and he starts to grow more. As they make it back to earth, the Hulk grows to normal size and as the control of Bruce slips away and the Hulk's mind comes back, the Hulk grabs Psyklp and throws him into his machinery, defeating him. Before Psyklop can do anything, the hand of a Dark God comes down and takes Psyklop away for failing to get their energy source.

The Incredible Hulk #202: After arriving back at Jarella's world, the Hulk goes to a mountain to track down a god creating problems for Jarella's people. He finds a giant who turns out to be a robot. He opens a door to find out who created the robot and Psyklop surprises him and shoots him unconscious.

The Incredible Hulk #203: The Hulk breaks out of restraints and is about to attack Psyklop when Psyklop hits him with a hypnotizing ray from his eye. He explains to Jarella how after his defeat by the Hulk, he was banished to the planet K'ai by the Dark Gods as punishment. He saw as the Hulk came back again and watched as the Hulk grew and knocked the planet from it's orbit. He tells her that it was this that originally started the earthquakes. By Psyklop created a machine to continue the earthquakes so that the people will worship him. Jarella's sorceror's see what happens and rally the people to go save her. Psyklop also shows Jarella a urn which collects the life-forces from all the people that die from his earthquakes. Psyklop sees the people coming so he sends the Hulk after them making him think it is an army of Psyklops. The sorcerors chant and break the spell. The Hulk, really mad now, goes after Psyklop. One of the Hulk's shockwaves cracks the urn which explodes and envelopes Psyklop and kills him.
