Aa-Thak (Earth-616) VS Aaron Carpenter (Earth-616)

Aa-Thak was a sorcerer who aspired to become the most powerful shaman of the Pict clans. During a conclave between the Pict tribes of Tathel, Aa-Thak challenged fellow shaman, Gonar. Before their magical fight would have a conclusion, they were interrupted by a raid from Atlanteans and the Picts went to confront their enemies. An Atlantean war band attacked the village to kidnap Dinaldo, a Valusian emissary, and Aa-Thak summoned Jaggta-Noga, demon-lord of the Lost Land, slaughtering almost all the Atlanteans. Gonar's powers had let him learn that one of the Atlanteans would be a important man for the future of Picts and Valusians so he intervened. With his staff, Gonar wounded Aa-Thak and then banished the demon back to his dark realm before he could kill the Atlantean survivor. This survivor would later in the future become Kull, King of Valusia.

Dr. Aaron Carpenter was the world's greatest living brain surgeon. He knew Bruce Banner from high school, whom he saw as an "insufferable geek." After Bruce Banner was shot in the head, Carpenter was contacted by the Ancient Order of the Shield,[1] disguised as S.H.I.E.L.D., the ones who secretly had Banner shot, and was brought in to operate on him. During the surgery, Carpenter was ordered to place a device capable of controlling the Hulk's transformations in Banner's brain. Aaron hesitated, and thought of killing Banner to prevent the agency from controlling Hulk, in order to save lives. However, Banner was awakened by the anesthetist, whose life had been saved by the Hulk decades ago, triggering his transformation into the Hulk. The agency released a gas in the operating room in order to eliminate the witnesses of their actions, but the Hulk managed to break a wall and allow the gas to scatter, saving the life of Carpenter and the other participants of the surgery.
