Fictional character biography

Amphibion is an amphibious creature from the planet Xantares, considered a powerful fighter, the Xantarean supreme warrior.

Amphibion fought the Hulk over the Sphere, nearly drowning his opponent. Amphibion was exiled from Xantares when he returned after his failure.^[1]

He later assisted the Sagittarians, along with the Hulk, Torgo, and Dark-Crawler against the Galaxy Master and the Abomination.^[2]
