History:
(Harley-Davidson/Avengers#1) - Baron Zemo formed an alliance with
Gar-Lekk and a group of warriors from the Negative Zone. Zemo's Masters
of Evil and the Negative Zone beings hijacked a truck carrying Starcorp
portal technology that they took to Kurskyn, Russia while Hawkeye was
hiding in the back of the truck. Hawkeye got captured, but the rest of
the Avengers soon located him and the machine. While the Masters of Evil
fought the Avengers, Zemo used the Starcorp machine to open a portal to
the Negative Zone and bring an army of creatures to Earth. He claimed to
Gar-Lekk that Captain America was an evil xenophobe that wouldn't
approve an alliance between Gar-Lekk's people and Earth.
(Harley-Davidson/Avengers#2) - Starcorp's Road Force aided the Avengers in fighting Gar-Lekk's army and the Masters of Evil. Gar-Lekk was disappointed that their forces were not enough to defeat the Avengers and so was Baron Zemo, who fled and left Gar-Lekk behind to fight for himself. The Avengers and Road Force ultimately sent Gar-Lekk and his army back to the Negative Zone and sent the Masters of Evil there along with them, except for Zemo, who was caught by Hawkeye. Iron Man destroyed the Starcorp device to close the portal.

This profile quickly went from interesting to meh to frustrating.
Gar-Lekk does not appear in the Captain America/Road Force crossover comic as some websites claim. Totally different species in that comic!
The Road Force comic like many other comics Marvel did as part of a promotional deal for other companies are not on Marvel Unlimited (anymore in Road Force's case because they were the last time I did a profile on Road Force field leader Shadow) and finding a source for some of these is quiet a feat.
This profile was completed on 06/21/2026, but its publication was delayed as it was intended for the Appendix 25th anniversary event.
