History

Early life

Eric Williams alias the Grim Reaper was a high ranking cybernetic Hydra agent. He was the black sheep of his family. He was a vandal and bully in school, and graduated into petty crime. As he got older, he got bolder by joining the Maggia, an organized crime syndicate. But when petty crime didn't satisfy his destructive urges, he moved on and learned about Hydra.[citation needed] Hydra saw the potential in Eric and outfitted him with a cybernetic arm created by A.I.M. which could turn into a "Power-Scythe" and became a high ranking Hydra officer.[citation needed]
