Background

Agamemnon, half-human and half-Asgardian god, was born immortal, and, though he never physically aged beyond the age of 16, the Pantheon are all his descendants. Stationed in the Nevada desert based headquarters called The Mount, the Pantheon recruited the Hulk as a member and ally after he was transformed into the Merged Hulk persona, the Hulk accepting the offer as a means of making up for the damage he'd done in his Savage Hulk days. The Hulk worked with the Pantheon on many rescue and relief missions, the focus of the Pantheon's purpose. In return, several members helped the Hulk out with personal missions, which themselves sometimes dovetailed into the Pantheon's intended purposes.

For a while, the Hulk even led the entire Pantheon. Together they went through attacks by the U-Foes, confrontations with the United States government and a vast space chase, when one of the members was kidnapped by a lovesick alien prince. This eventually led to a confrontation with Agammemnon, who attempted to ensure the long-term survival of his children- none of whom inherited his immortality- by offering the Troyjans the peak of his descendents in exchange for technology to extend their lifespan. As Agamemmnon raised an army of deceased Pantheon members, the Hulk led the rest of the team against their former leader in their final battle. U-Foes is the name of a Marvel comic book supervillain team that gained their superpowers by taking a cue from the Fantastic Four and going up into outer space, and getting hit by cosmic rays. ...

Internal struggles and the devious actions of Agamemnon and former team member Paris led to the Pantheon's eventual pilgrimage away from The Mount, and ultimately to their recruitment by the United States government. Members of the team possess powers such as super strength, a healing factor, and are able to create energy formed weaponry.
