History:
(Avengers 1,000,000 BC#1 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, the insectoid Hyve the War-Bearer of the Negative Zone met Laufey, the Jotunheim Frost Giant king, and the two fell in love.

(Avengers 1,000,000 BC#1) - Hyve and Laufey traveled to the primitive Earth to consummate their relationship with conquest and slaughter. Their destruction was opposed by the Avengers of 1,000,000 BC and a battle raged between them for seventy days and seventy nights, ultimately resulting in Hyve's retreat and death. On the day Hyve died, Laufey swore a blood debt against all of the gods and beasts of Earth.
