Fictional character biography

Peter Corbeau is a college roommate of Bruce Banner and the creator of Starcore. When the army manages to capture Hulk with tranquilizer bombs, they bring him to Corbeau. Corbeau uses a device that manipulates the sun's rays, which neutralizes the gamma energy enough to regress Hulk back to Bruce Banner.[1]

Peter Corbeau later calls Colonel Jack Armbruster upon learning that he had captured Hulk and states that he has found a solution that would end Hulk. Hulk awakens upon Corbeau's arrival as Corbeau collaborates with several scientists to create a device that will banish Hulk to a time-space warp. It works, but it ends up freeing Juggernaut from his mystical exile. When Corbeau tries to use the machine to send Juggernaut back, it malfunctions and Hulk returns. The two fight throughout the base until the X-Men arrive.[2]

As an old friend of Professor X, Peter Corbeau rescues Professor X and some of the X-Men from the Sentinels during Christmas. Corbeau assists the X-Men in rescuing Professor X, Cyclops, and Jean Grey, who have been captured by Sentinels. Steven Lang informs the captive X-Men that he has been given funding to initiate Project: Armageddon and wipe out the mutant race. Cyclops frees himself from his containment and then frees the others. When the space station is about to explode, Jean maneuvers the Starcore shuttle to safety.[3]

Peter Corbeau later talks with Jimmy Carter, the Avengers, and the Fantastic Four about a strange force that is threatening to destroy the universe.[4] During The Dark Phoenix Saga, Corbeau learns that the threat in question is the Phoenix Force.[5]
