Origin
The origins of the Dark-Crawler are unrevealed, however it is clear that he is an extra-dimensional entity referred to as the Dark-Crawler's Dark Dimension. At some point in time the Dark-Crawler became the bitter enemy of the Undying Ones due to the function of his Dark Dimension, which allows access to other dimensions and planets. The Undying Ones tried multiple times to annihilate Dark-Crawler, but he killed every enemy sent by them.
Creation
Dark-Crawler was created by Roy Thomas and Herb Trimpe. He first appeared as the Night-Crawler in 1970's The Incredible Hulk #126, but later became known as the Dark-Crawler in 1982's The Incredible Hulk #269 in order to avoid confusing him with the X-Men's Nightcrawler.

When Yandroth uses the power of Gaea to summon threats all around the world, Night-Crawler is summoned to New York City where he fights Doctor Strange. It is unclear who won the fight, as Strange is teleported away to Maine before he can finish the battle. Then when Yandroth is killed by the Defenders, all his summoned threats are teleported away.
