Fritz crashed landed in Wakanda and sought to murder his way to obtaining the rare metal Vibranium from the people of that nation, but his deadly mission failed. Ulysses grew up and became a physicist working on applied sonics in Rotterdam and the Belgium city of Antwerpen, which eventually led to him developing a sound converter.
