Created by American writer Greg Pak and Canadian artist Takeshi Miyazawa, the character first appeared in Amazing Fantasy vol.

The anniversary special will be written and illustrated by Cho's co-creators Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa, respectively, with Creees Lee and Jethro Morales joining for art.

In a botched attempt, Cho's parents and twin sister Maddy are killed, but he survives and goes on the run with a Vespa scooter and a coyote pup.

[9] Venturing to the town of Excello, Utah, he encounters former FBI Agent Sexton, who had contacted him shortly after the death of his parents, and battles Dupree.

[11] Parallel to those stories, in the aftermath of the Secret Invasion storyline, the character is used by writer Dan Slott in his run on the Mighty Avengers series.

In her place appears a collection of Earth's heroes including Thor and the Warriors Three, Bruce Banner, Skaar, Namor, Namora, the Black Widow, Wolverine, Angel, and Snowbird.

After a battle with the Griffin, Cho is visited by Vali Halfling, the leader of the Pantheon, who proposes an alliance in order to gather the necessary ingredients to become as powerful as the Skyfathers: Hebe's ambrosia, the golden apples of Idunn, the spells of the Book of Thoth, and the amrita cup of Dhanvantari.

[18] Cho helps Hercules and Thor gather Sersi, Venus, Daimon Hellstrom, Silver Surfer, and Galactus together as the second incarnation of the God Squad.

[20] While Hulk and his allies, the God Squad, Alpha Flight, and the surviving Dead Avengers fight Amatsu-Mikaboshi's forces, Cho and Galactus work on a machine that will transfer Earth to the sealed-off continuum.

[26] Eight months after the Secret Wars storyline, Cho becomes the Hulk after absorbing Bruce Banner's gamma energy to stop a nuclear meltdown.

With the help of Maddy, whom he reunited with off-panel, he starts hunting down dangerous monsters that are loose on Earth, but is criticized for his irresponsible approach.

He later joins Ms. Marvel, Shang-Chi, Silk, Jake Oh, and Jimmy Woo for a fundraiser but is forced to battle an alien army after they and several civilians are captured and teleported to a space prison.

[3][6][41][42] In The War of the Realms, Brawn and the Protectors are recruited by Jimmy into the Agents of Atlas help battle Malekith's invasion of Earth.

[43] After Sindr threatens to summon a volcano in Seoul and kill millions of innocents, Amadeus uses Banner's technology to teleport the Atlas Agents away from the battle.

[44][45] They are assisted by M-41 Zu, a mystically enhanced Atlas Android masquerading as the Hawaiian goddess Pele who sacrifices herself to absorb part of Sindr's power.

[46] Shortly after the "War of the Realms" storyline, Jimmy has resumed his duties as the head of the Atlas Foundation while Amadeus becomes the field leader of the New Agents.

During a celebratory banquet held in the Mumbai section of Pan, Amadeus tells Luna Snow his suspicions of Nguyen and Ikeda.

[49] When Amadeus visits his old Champions teammates, they are interrupted a news report featuring Geoffrey Patrick, a senator from Indiana, who is opposed to vigilantes.

[50] Following another confrontation with the Pan Guard, Amadeus splits the team up again: Aero, Wave and Luna are sent to patrol the city for more dragons; Giant-Man is ordered to continue working with Ikeda to gather more intel on him; while tasking Shang-Chi with finding the still missing Jimmy, Amadeus confides in the Master of Kung Fu his own struggles with leadership and his suspicions of Jimmy.

During their investigation, Brawn, Silk and White Fox discover that the heart of Pan does not correspond with any known location on Earth, which causes Amadeus to deduce that the city is in another dimension.

[53] Wary of Namora's familial relationship with Namor, Brawn orders Shang-Chi and Sword Master to spy on her while he, Venus, Aero and Wave embark on a diplomatic mission to Atlantis.

With help from Uranian and 3-D Man, Amadeus replicates the dragon's magic with M-11's generator, allowing it to be safely released while keeping Pan's portals stabilized.

After Namora and Carina of the Sirenas recount their people's history, Amadeus and the rest of the group are torn between protecting Pan and attacking or defending Atlantis.

[57] Amadeus is a teenager gifted with a super-genius mind, bearing the "natural ability to identify the variables and quantum possibilities in any situation".

He is described by Reed Richards as being the 7th most intelligent person in the world,[5] though Hank Pym claims that, with his return to Earth from Skrull captivity, Amadeus is actually the 8th.

[61] Hercules has claimed twice, the first instance to Athena herself, that Amadeus is smarter than even she,[62][19] and the super-genius Olympian god of fire and blacksmith Hephaestus himself admits that Cho is more intelligent than he is.

[63] Amadeus is able to rapidly and without mechanical aid perform mental calculations of almost unimaginable complexity enabling him to, with minimal stimuli on his part, set multiple physical reactions into motion in his vicinity, forestalling technological and human activity with equal ease.

He has shown himself capable of doing anything from redirecting a laser-guided missile with a wing mirror to tracking the Hulk based on his trajectory and jump height.

[citation needed] Kerberos's name was chosen in a contest held by the writers of the comic; the winner was a reader from Montevideo, Uruguay, Martín Pérez.

[70] A version of Amadeus Cho appears in Marvel Zombies Return as part of highly intelligent heroes used to decode the watcher's poets technology.
