Emil Blonsky, also better known as the Abomination, is a supporting character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He was a Russian-born English-raised soldier loaned to SOCOM by the Royal Marines and tasked by Thunderbolt Ross to capture Bruce Banner. After being given a dosage of the recreated Super Soldier Serum and seeing Banner's powers as the Hulk, Blonsky became power-hungry and gained a dosage of Banner's blood and became a deformed but formidable monster, wanting to prove himself as the greatest fighter on Earth.
Following years behind bars, Blonsky has changed his ways for good and is willing to rejoin society as a new man, requesting the assistance of Banner's cousin, Jennifer Walters, to do so. He was later imprisoned for breaking the condition of his release, before being snuck out to Kamar-Taj by Wong. He is the former arch-nemesis of Bruce Banner/The Hulk.
He is portrayed by Tim Roth, who also played Archibald Cunningham in Rob Roy, General Thade in the 2001 Planet of the Apes film, George Wallace in Selma and Pete Hicox in The Hateful Eight.
Appearance[]
When Emil injecting himself with Super Soldier serum appearance of a hulking monstrous muscular build Abomination. His skin lesser green underbelly over 12 heights size. Emil show the spikes between inn back his feet, elbows and back spines.
Abomination redesign in current mutation he same height and muscular build his body full green with rare belly button show in monster from featured fish ear, and back scales.
Personality[]
Unlike Banner, who struggled with his monstrous, but heroic, alter-ego, there was no struggle between Blonsky and Abomination, nor was there enough of a difference between the two to make Abomination his alter-ego. Blonsky proved to already be capable of sadistic tendencies before his operation by Ross and his men, tranquilizing Bruce's dog for barking at him and perfectly willing to take down the Hulk despite the obvious advantage of the latter.
Over the years, Abomination appears to have mellowed out ever since he has been released from custody. He also appears to have developed a genuine bond with Wong, who took care of him after their match and appreciated his kind gesture. Upon meeting his attorney, Jennifer Walters, Blonsky reveals how displeased he was with his treatment under the government, believing that the Super Soldier program they had him partake in would make him be a hero similar to Captain America. Nonetheless, he has taken time to come to terms with himself and his actions, going as far as to refuse becoming the Abomination, contrasting his power-hungry nature from years back. He even went as far as to write letters and haikus to his victims expressing his sorrows, including one for Banner himself, having come to terms with his former enemy.
Despite this, he still shows tendencies of not being honest as his participation in the Golden Daggers Club showed him, despite his claim that he would no longer turn into the Abomination. He did however justify this by stating he was forced to take part in it, something that Wong would later back him up on during his trial. Throughout his sentence, he has shown to become a more well-mannered and reasonable person, as he chose to serve his sentence, despite knowing he could escape any time if he desired it. Even after Wong had let him escape briefly, Blonsky still chose to return back to his cell to prove he has changed for the better.
Biography[]
The Incredible Hulk[]
Emil Blonsky was a Captain in the British Royal Marines and was on loan to the Strategic Operations Command Center. He later helps General Ross track down Bruce Banner / the Hulk. When he first saw the power that the Hulk possessed, Blonsky became obsessed. He started off by getting an injection that would grant heightened agility and accelerated healing factor. After the Hulk hospitalized Blonsky, Blonsky wanted more of the injections. After Blonsky encounters Banner, he knocks him out due to him getting tranquilized. General Ross then arrested Banner, but Blonsky stayed to "interrogate" Samuel Sterns after knocking out Kathleen Sparr.
Blonsky realized that Sterns extracted some of the Hulk's blood, and wants it so he can become stronger than the Hulk. Sterns reluctantly accepts and injects the blood into Blonsky. Blonsky then transforms in the Abomination, knocks Sterns out, and attacks the city, killing many more of Ross' soldiers and several citizens. General Ross releases Banner so he can fight the Abomination. After a long fight, Hulk manage to defeat the Abomination. Hulk was intending to kill the Abomination by strangling him to death with a chain, but Betty stops him. The Abomination was presumably sent to a special prison under Tony Stark's care.
Blonsky was at one point considered a candidate for the Avengers Initiative by General Ross and the World Security Council, but this ended up being thwarted after Tony Stark had a brief chat with Ross.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings[]
Abomination was temporarily released some time after his captivity by the United States Department of Damage Control and started working as a tournament fighter at the Golden Daggers Club. He is first seen fighting Wong in a cage match, during which he gains the upper hand, until Wong creates a set of portals, redirecting his punch and knocking himself out. After the match, Wong gave Abomination support and water for having a good match before opening a portal back to the latter’s cell at the Damage Control Supermax Prison, in which Abomination followed him.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law[]
At some point after The Incredible Hulk, Blonsky decided to atone for his past actions and became a self-help guru, helping to make the prison a better place. For this, he became eligible for parole. He became a client of Jennifer Walters, but before the case, she needed to ask him more about why he wanted to get a parole. Blonsky told her that he could turn into the Abomination but he chose not. He then explained that his attempted murder of Bruce was nothing personal and was just orders. He also stated that he believed that the Super Soldier Serum would turn him into a hero, expressing some bitterness that his opponent became hailed as one while he was locked away. To prove that he had reformed, he cited how he wrote haikus of apology to those he had wronged and even found "seven soulmates" through the prison's pen pal program. After a talk with Bruce, who genuinely believed Blonsky had changed, Jen decided to represent him. However, footage of Blonsky's fight with Wong at the Golden Daggers Club was released, putting the case in jeopardy.
Jennifer then called out Blonsky for lying to her about no longer changing into the Abomination. He explained that he specifically said he did not choose to transform, explaining that Wong forced him to leave his cell and fight, and despite the chance to escape, he returned of his own free will. He then told Jen Wong's name.
During the court trial, Wong and several other witnesses made their statements about why he should go free. Wong explain to the court that after fights, it was Blonsky's decision to return to his cell and repay his debt to society. When the judges brought up the question of whether Blonsky could control his Abomination form, Blonsky, against Jen's wishes, proceeded to transform to show he could maintain control, despite the fact that everyone in the room started to panic. After everything is brought under control, the court agreed to let Blonsky out of prison on the condition that he doesn’t transform into the Abomination.
Blonsky went to his retreat, Summer Twilights, and held sessions with his self-healing group, Abomaste. One day, his pet chicken got stuck in the electric fence. When he tried to rescue her, he accidentally set off his inhibitor, which caused him to transform. As a result, his parole officer came to see him. Blonsky was also reunited with Jennifer Walters, who had come on the officer's request. Before Jen could leave, Man-Bull and Águila barreled into her car. Blonsky then invited her to join them at the Abomaste but she declined, too preoccupied with getting a response back from Josh Miller, who unbeknownst to her, was an Intelligencia member. However, eventually, Blonsky and the others at Abomaste managed to help her let go of Josh and make her feel more secure in this new phase of her life. Afterwards, Jennifer thanked them and was told that she was welcome anytime.
However, in the finale, it was revealed that Blonsky had actually been transforming into the Abomination for self-help talks and had been booked by Intelligencia. But it turned out that he genuinely had no idea Intelligencia was an organization of hateful misogynists and thought this was another job. He tried to save Jen from a gamma-transformed Todd Phelps and got into a fight when Bruce inexplicably barged into the scene and misread the situation. In the revised timeline created by K.E.V.I.N., Emil was arrested for violating his parole. However, while in his cell, Wong opened a portal and offered to free him, an offer Emil accepted.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]

Blonsky can lift thousands of pounds up to tens of thousands of pounds. Be able to carry out any offensive action with the strength of a massive vehicle. Blonsky can lift cars, trucks, buses, medium to large rocks, large trees and often exceeds the physical limits of humans at their maximum.

Blonsky can consume massive amounts of food while retaining his super-physique and possesses incredible wellness, recovery speed and immune system, having managed to recover from a blunt kick from the Incredible Hulk and a brutal landing against a tree, when his bone structure was reduced to a pile of gravel dust, according to the army doctor. He also declared that his heart was beating faster than a racehorse. This means he can withstand more damage than ordinary humans without necessarily having a particularly strong resistance/tolerance to pain. Thanks to multiple injections of Ross's super-serum, Blonsky has become self-sufficient, no longer needing to eat, drink or sleep to live, as his body is now capable of self-sustainability, eliminating sweating, bodily waste, mucus and other crap expelled by the body.

Emil's reaction speed is greatly enhanced, enabling him to dodge several of the Incredible Hulk's blows, dodge a sonic explosion in mid-air, dodge and evade complex Hulk attacks, catch falling objects, block detriments and react instantly to what others take longer to react to, such as high-speed projectiles like sniper bullets, as well as reacting to a being with superhuman speed like the Incredible Hulk. It's also fast enough to overtake the Incredible Hulk, motorcycles and other vehicles in this speed range. Thanks to his speed, he can move faster than the eye can see, and avoid the perception of opponents.
- Radioactive Serum Empowerement: Thanks to Banner's blood mixed with Stern's super-serum, Stern was able to reproduce Banner's experiment for Blonsky, enabling him to transform into the Abomination and become almost as strong as the latter. This gave him physical attributes that were even more powerful than before, enabling him to jump higher than a building, knock out and punch the Hulk easily and send him flying as if he were nothing more than a rag doll, resist powerful Hulk attacks, large explosions, etc.... As well as healing from just about any injury with ease, this level of scar factor varies from simple tattoos to a Hulk beating. And despite the nature of the blood Stern injected him with, namely Bruce's blood irradiated with high doses of gamma rays, he is completely immune to ionizing radiation of any kind.
- Superhuman Durability: The muscle tissue, skin, muscles, bones of Blonskly are incredibly resistant, allowing him to withstand potent attacks like nuclear bombs, extreme atmospheric/water pressure, temperatures fatal to an average human, cold bordering on absolute zero, or heat that rivals the sun's surface. Due to its extremely high durability, Emil's body also naturally manifest Abomination's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than that of normal humans. As a result, his muscles produce practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to those of humans. His virtually inexhaustible Stamina & Endurance enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time without tiring at all. He was able to withstand high-caliber bullets, a Rocket from a Bazooka, and even Hulk's punches. Emil can resist being damaged by large objects of supersonic speeds, atomic to hydrogen explosions worth of energy (kilotons to hundreds of megatons), endure natural disasters and created ones, and some dangerous forms of energy (radiation, chemicals, toxins, etc.), tolerate extremely-heavy armor penetration shots and survive asteroid impacts.

Blonsky can move buildings to skyscrapers, massive bridges, aircraft carriers, the tallest trees ever recorded, thousands of feet tall mountains, and industrial structures. Blonsky can perform any violent act on the earth to generate earthquakes, tsunamis, destroy air-mass thunderstorms, and halt any atmospherically meteorological phenomenon such as tornadoes, down bursts, or counter a nuclear warhead's shockwave. Blonsky is way stronger than normal humans, thanks to the Stern' serum, strength superior to most superhuman; making him immensely stronger than normal humans, can achieve by any method of training. He is capable of lifting from massive vehicles to large airplanes and able to lift massive boulders and locomotives with ease. His high-level immense strength enables him to overpower Hulk. He is capable of tearing through the strongest metals with his bare hands like paper. Offensively, on the strength he puts through, he can send the Incredible Hulk flying several miles away, create cracks in the lithosphere, or release a force of energy equivalent to nuclear weapons upon an entire city. Abomination's strength also extends to his legs, allowing him to leap great distances or great heights. He is able to leap several stories from ground level, using buildings and other structures as footholds to reach areas and also able to leap from a rooftop to a moving helicopter. Blonsky can jump incredible distances and land safely, covering frighteningly tall heights and long distances. Thanks to his extremely strong and durable legs. The distance of how far he can jump can be across neighborhoods, canyons, cities, or even across a planet. Height will be equivalent to buildings, mountains, the mesosphere and eventually reaching space.
- Superhuman Speed: Regardless of his size, Abomination's immeasurable strong legs allow him to run at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of a human being. He also possesses enhanced reflexes and agility proportionate to his size, but his large size can still be exploited by smaller foes to use to their advantage.
- Superhuman Health: Blonsky is more physically, mentally, socially, spiritually and emotionally healthy than normal humans. He lacks physical flaws and are nigh-immune to getting disorders, diseases, disabilities, etc. he also can take a high amount of damage before fainting or succumbing to the effects of ailments, as well as possessing a superhuman metabolic rate. Overall, Emil's health is very incredible, as his physical needs are completely removed. These needs include air/breathing, sleep/rest, food, drink, bodily evacuations, shelter from environmental effects and their lack (heat/cold, dryness/wetness), etc. Blonsky is also able to stay immobile without the normal effects this would have. He can also sanitize himself, granting excellent health and immunity to any kind of disease, Blonsky also doesn't age and lives longer than most humans. At this level, Blonsky can regenerate extremely severe brain damage and even survive decapitation. This would entail head regrowth or head reattachment. Abomination can regenerate from being blown/torn/slashed to pieces, being able to restore his entire body back to its original state from a single part of their body, such as the head, heart, or even fingers. As long as a solid portion of Blonsky's body survives, he can regenerate.
- Transformation: Much like the Hulk, Abomination is able to switch from his human form to his monstrous form by willpower alone. Although Banner's Hulk is more of a second personnality, Emil can transform at will and keep his consciousness while transformed, making it a strong body that Emil can use at any time, except it's stille not perfect, as Abomination possesses sharp spikes on his arms, elbows, back, and feet, enabling him to cause a deep wound on Hulk's chest, cutting right through the latter's extremely durable flesh.

Trivia[]
- Abomination was born in 1971, making him chronologically 53 (or 48 if he was erased by Thanos's snap) during the events of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. It also makes him two years younger than Hulk. It's mentioned he's in a cryo-vault, implying Blonsky was frozen due to being dangerous. If so it would make him physically younger by at least a decade, since his biology was paused.
- Abomination was originally going to appear in the 2003 film, but was replaced by Glenn Talbot. He was later planned to be included along with The Leader in a potential sequel, which was ultimately cancelled and reworked into The Incredible Hulk.
- Ray Stevenson was considered for the role of Emil Blonsky before Tim Roth got the part.
- Tim Roth accepted the role because his sons are comic-book superhero fans.
- When General Thunderbolt Ross asks Emil Blonsky's age, Ross guesses the age of forty-five, while Blonsky states he is thirty-nine. Tim Roth was actually forty-six at the time of the movie's release.
- Tim Roth revealed that Abomination was considered to make an appearance in the early development of Avengers: Age of Ultron as a supporting antagonist.
- He is twice as strong as the Hulk (but this does not increase with anger) and more intelligent.
- Director Louis Leterrier made the Abomination's design different from the comics because he felt the audience would question why he resembled a fish or a reptile, instead of "an über-human" like the Hulk. In addition, when Abomination was planned to have pointy fish-like ears in the movie, Hulk would end up biting them off during the fight. His comic book design would later be incorporated in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
- In the comics, the Abomination is incapable of transforming back into Blonsky. Louis Leterrier had originally intended there to be a post-credits scene in The Incredible Hulk showing Blonsky, human once more, imprisoned and chained in a containment box, but this was ultimately not filmed.
- This is eventually depicted in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, where he is shown in his human form and is established to have full control of his transformation.
- The Abomination is mentioned in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that Grant Ward would have had to watch Emil Blonsky on a night-shift in Alaska.
- Despite his role in The Incredible Hulk, Emil Blonsky is nowhere to be seen in the What If...? episode "What If... the World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes?", with General Ross attacking the Hulk alone with his fellow soldiers before the Hulk explodes into goo due to Yellowjacket's machinations. It's unknown why Yellowjacket murdering all the Avengers Initiative candidates minus Captain America in that alternate universe affected Blonsky's presence in attacking the Hulk in the Culver University's campus.
