duration of the Hulk's 2099 Unlimited appearances, with the young knight being rescued.<ref>Hulk 2099 Vol 1 #7-8 (June-July 1995)</ref> Gawain's salvation would be short-lived, as he would die at the hands of the villain Draco at the start of the Hulk 2099 series, fueling Eisenhart/Hulk with guilt and remorse throughout the rest of the series over his broken vow to protect the young knight.
