Ultron appeared onboard Klaue’s ship almost instantaneously after the demand and issued a demand of his own for the man’s vibranium. Special mention among the arms dealer’s enemies must be made of Ultron, the artificial intelligence who took Klaue’s ill-gotten vibranium (though he at least paid well for it), as well as the man’s arm for what the robot perceived as a slight against his origins. T’Chaka’s son T’Challa took up the reins of the chase after his father’s death and offered some of the strongest opposition Ulysses Klaue had seen in decades, resulting in his capture and temporary incarceration. T’Chaka spent time and resources on tracking the man who tried to assassinate him and also stole vibranium from his nation, but one of his life’s biggest disappointments was his inability to capture Klaue. Ulysses Klaue’s attracted many opponents over the years, but the last two rulers of Wakanda rank high on the list. If anyone ever existed who Ulysses Klaue actually favored or cherished, the memory of them has been lost along with the man himself. The arms dealer treated him with something resembling a teacher-mentor relationship at first, but Klaue ended up being a pawn in Killmonger’s plan whose death would serve a key role. One of Klaue’s longest associations seems to have been with Erik Stevens, also known as Erik Killmonger, son of N’Jobu and himself a prince of Wakanda. His acerbic personality and occasional erratic behavior seemed to keep most normal people away. Known Associatesīeyond his former taskmasters of the Intelligencia, his various clients through the years, and a small retinue of hired soldiers he kept to protect his interests, Ulysses Klaue rarely associated with anyone for anything other than one-off assignments or brief bits of business. It also featured the ability to disrupt other devices and forms of energy. The arm responded to his thoughts and was able to produce waves of sonic force with which he could move small or large objects or simply destroy them. He favored handguns for personal use and while he was not opposed to subterfuge in achieving his goals, he preferred to work in the open, not caring who saw him or what impression of himself he left behind.Īfter Klaue lost an arm to the artificial intelligence known as Ultron, he replaced it with a prosthetic limb sporting technology based on Wakandan mining operations. His skill with weapons indicates the possibility of some military training. He would kill without compunction and spread destruction wherever he went, cackling as he did, but when he got down to business he acted as a true professional, albeit a murderous one. Klaue operated in devil-may-care fashion throughout his twisted career, with little regard for any life other than his own. During the event, Klaue learned of Wakanda’s true nature as a technologically advanced state, and set off a fatal explosion that would cement his status as an enemy of Wakanda for decades to come. Using information provided by Prince N’Jobu, King T’Chaka’s brother, Klaue stole vibranium from the small country of Wakanda to bolster the prince’s desire to see the metal shared with the rest of the world. This business allowed him to rub shoulders with such luminaries as Tony Stark, but always on the shadowy side. He perhaps excelled most, however, as a weapons dealer working mainly out of South Africa.
A merchant of death, Ulysses Klaue dabbled in assassination-for-hire.
