Leonard Williams was a professor at Cambridge University who worked with a young Bruce Banner to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum, becoming a mentor to him. Williams disappears in an unexplained occurrence in which several people are killed, and comes to be considered a missing person.

Unbeknownst to the public, Williams survived, became the first Hulk, and assumed the identity of Tyrone Cash, killing numerous people throughout Africa and Asia before becoming a gangster in South America. During this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. monitors him and eventually recruits him into the Ultimates.

S.H.I.E.L.D. later discovers that Cash has been selling Super-Soldiers on the black market. Blade defeats and depowers him before bringing him to the Helicarrier, where Nick Fury kills him.
