Emperor Hulkling (Dorrek VIII, also known as Theodore Rufus "Teddy" Kaplan-Altman[2]) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character has been depicted as a member of the Young Avengers, a team of superheroes in the Marvel Universe. Hulkling's character is patterned on the Hulk, with shapeshifting abilities that go far beyond the ability to mimic the Hulk, and superhuman strength. He is known for his relationship and eventual marriage with fellow Young Avenger Wiccan, notable for being one of the highest-profile gay relationships in comics.
Hulkling will make his live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Disney+ miniseries Agatha All Along (2024), played by Miles Gutierrez-Riley.
