History

Ulysses Solomon Archer is a trucker from America. After his parents, also truckers, were killed in an accident, he and his brother were taken in by Poppa Wheelie and Wide-Load Annie at the Short Stop Diner. After attending college, he was run off the road by the Highwayman, and the top part of his skull was replaced by an experimental alloy, which gave him the ability to pick up certain radio frequencies. Vowing to track down the Highwayman, he uses his College skills to customize his truck with weapons to aid him in this. Later, he and the staff of the Short Stop are transported into space, where it became the Star Stop, after winning a race against his brother to become a trucker for Al and his species. Having dated Taryn O'Connell, he later married Mary McGrill and had a son when the former chose to stay on Earth. Xemnu tried to convert US’s son into his own race, but was stopped by the Sensational She-Hulk.

When Spragg attacked the Star Stop, Archer called the Sensational She-Hulk to aid him and helped her defeat Spragg.

Later, responding to a distress call from Taryn and Razorback, he was captured by Skrulls, along with Sensational She-Hulk and Weezi, and later is present when Sensational She-Hulk switches body with Weezi.

At some point he returned to space and helped transport Rocket Raccoon to Planet X in search of Groot.

Return to Earth

For reasons unknown, he returned from space and was seemingly stranded and needed a job. He went to work for his brother, Jeff who sent him on suicide missions, such as transporting hyperspace combustion manifolds with Deadpool as partner. Jeff had genetically-engineered raccoons with guns to attack the convoy in order to steal the shipment and collect the insurance. Ulysses discovered the the Manifold and planned to use it to return to space, however it was accidentally destroyed by Deadpool. He returned to the Highwayman who proposed U.S. to ship dead souls out of Hell via a melting ice bridge built by Beelzebub (which U.S. preferred over staying partner with Deadpool).

Danielle Cage

Archer was one of the many applicants for nanny to Luke Cage and Jessica Jones' daughter, Danielle Cage.
