Maestro
The Maestro is a fictional comic book supervillain in Marvel Comics and is a version of the Hulk from an alternate future (designated by Marvel Comics as Earth-9200). The Maestro is a combination of Bruce Banner's intelligence and the Hulk's more malevolent aspects.
The Maestro first appeared as a vision in The Incredible Hulk vol. 1 #401. He was the main antagonist in The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect #1-2 (Dec 1992 - Jan 1993). The character was created by Peter David.
Maestro's next appearance is in The Incredible Hulk vol. 1 #460-461 (Jan-Feb 1998).
The character also made appearances in Exiles vol 1 #79-80 and Captain Marvel vol 3 #27-30 (Mar-May 2002), which come before Future Imperfect chronologically.
The Maestro returned in issues 9 and 10 of Peter David's second volume of Spider-Man 2099, before appearing as the main character in the Future Imperfect mini-series launched to coincide with Secret Wars.
In June 2015, it was announced that the Maestro would appear as one of the antagonists in the comic adaptation of Marvel: Contest of Champions.
The term maestro is an Italian/Spanish word meaning master, teacher, or professor.
Approximately a hundred years into the future, a nuclear war has killed almost all of Earth's superhumans and has taken the world to the brink of extinction. A future version of the Hulk called Maestro has seized control after being driven insane by the nuclear radiation he has absorbed and the bitterness he feels towards the world at his continued treatment. He has the intelligence of Bruce Banner and the absorbed radiation has significantly enhanced his strength.
An elderly Rick Jones encounters the reality-hopping mutant Proteus, who has possessed the body of an alternate reality Hulk from the year 2099. Proteus intends to discard his current body and possess the Maestro. Jones, unaware of his plan, provides a weapon created by the X-Man Forge, which might be able to kill Maestro. However, the plan fails when the Maestro is warned by the Exiles, who are pursuing Proteus. Proteus possesses a new host and flees to another world, breaking the Maestro's neck during his escape.
