Tribbitites,[1] known colloquially as Toad Men,[note 1] are a humanoid, ranine alien race. Possessing technology with advanced control of magnetism, the Tribbitites aimed to abduct the greatest scientific mind of humanity and extort information about the human race from them, with the ultimate goal of invading Earth preparedly. The mind that they found was Bruce Banner, who transformed into the Hulk while on board and took control of the ship. The United States military then fired a series of missiles at the unidentified ship, crashing it. As the military surrounded the grounded ship, the Tribbitites drilled into the ground and away to safety, hurriedly signaling for the rest of their invasion force to attack. The Toad King and his forces arrived in Earth's orbit, and the King threatened to use the Tribbitite's magnetic technology to pull the Moon into Earth. Their plan was thwarted by Bruce Banner, who fired a gamma-ray cannon into their magnetic field, sending their fleet hurtling into space.[2]

Notes

  1. Strangely, Tribbitites have been known to refer to themselves as "Toad Men," though this may have been for the sake of human understanding.
