History

Ulysses' history is presumably similar to his Earth-616 counterpart's.

After humankind was devastated by nuclear war and biological attacks, the Pantheon went into seclusion and lived in a base beneath Canada's Columbia Icefield. Walter passed the time watching recordings of sports games. One day, Delphi sensed that the Pantheon's former teammate Hulk had survived, was now going by the moniker of the Maestro, and was the middle of conquering Washington, D.C. Delphi informed the rest of the Pantheon with Paris informing Ulysses of Maestro's return. Ulysses thought Paris was kidding, but Paris told him that never kidded.

Ulysses and Hector wanted to stop the Maestro, but Atalanta was against it, having grown disillusioned with protecting humankind after its devastation. Later, Ulysses and the rest of the Pantheon discovered that their base had been discovered by Doctor Doom, and he demanded to be let in.[1]

Atalanta told her team to ignore Doom, but he promptly teleported himself into their base, forcing them to hear him out. Doom told the Pantheon that the Maestro planned on conquering the world, which interfered with his own needs. The Pantheon and Doom then came up with a plan to stop the Maestro. The Pantheon met with Maestro who welcomed them with open arms, though that almost didn't happen when Ajax recklessly attacked Maestro. As the two parties talked, the Pantheon told Maestro that A.I.M. had killed their member Prometheus and wanted revenge. Maestro agreed to help the Pantheon, and they took off for A.I.M's base in the Pantheon's jet. Maestro eventually grew suspicious and asked how Prometheus died. Ajax accidentally let it slip that Prometheus didn't die by A.I.M.'s hands. Maestro threatened the Pantheon but was then rendered unconscious by a powerful knockout gas provided by Doom.[2]

The Pantheon knew they couldn't keep Maestro in stasis indefinitely. So, Paris agreed to enter Maestro's mind and revert him back to Bruce Banner so he was easier to deal with. Paris tricked Maestro into thinking he broke free of stasis and killed most of the Pantheon. Paris then used an illusion of Maestro's mother, Rebecca which affected Maestro emotionally, causing him to turn back into Bruce Banner. This allowed Paris to shoot Banner to death with a handgun.[3]

However, Banner recovered from his gunshot wounds despite not being in his Maestro form. So, Atalanta had Banner were sealed away in duranium, believing that it would hold him, while Ulysses openly expressed that this was a bad idea. Ulysses was proven correct when Banner transformed back into Maestro and easily broke free of the duranium. Ulysses and the rest of the Pantheon confronted Maestro as he was breaking into their base's missile room. Maestro took Atalanta hostage and forced Ulysses to fire missiles at A.I.M.'s base in Los Angeles. Despite that, Maestro killed Atalanta anyway. Ulysses knew that he would, though, and chose to launch missiles at the Pantheon's base anyways. While Maestro fled, Ulysses and the rest of the Pantheon huddled around Atalanta's body and waited for their eventual demise.[4]
