Victim: Hate-Monger (“H.M. Unger”)
Disguise: Unknown
Victim: Hate-Monger (“H.M. Unger”)
Disguise: Unknown
Synopsis: After the Hate-Monger's defeat in a confrontation with the Fantastic Four and the Beyonder, Scourge, hidden in an
alley, guns down the Hate-Monger, revealing him to be an artificial lifeform.
Is it key to the Scourge storyline? No.
Does it tie in to the main story? Only to the extent that Secret Wars II covers events from Fantastic Four#279-281. Since Psycho-Man begins using the Hate-Monger there, Scourge's hit actually ties more into the Fantastic Four issues.
Postmortem use of victim: Unger has not been recreated as of February 2015. He was the third of four (to date) villains using the Hate-Monger name and hate motif but otherwise bearing little resemblance to one another.
Other comments: This is the first Scourge victim to be killed in his initial storyline, as well as the only one to be an artificial lifeform. Scourge's disguise, if any, is not actually seen here. While the gun the Scourge uses is referred to by She-Hulk as a raygun, it actually looks fairly similar to the gun Scourge used to kill the Miracle Man.
