Biography

Klaw was easily defeated by Hawkeye and left for the police.^[2]

Ulysses Klaue was a black market arms dealer, operating from a scrapyard on the coast of Africa. He was in the middle of a Vibranium heist until he ends up fighting the Avengers and the Thunderbolts. While fleeing from them, Klaw runs into Citizen V who was the one who secretly hired him to steal the Vibranium. Upon being defeated, Citizen V places a device on Klaw's unconscious body and some on the Vibranium containers. Later on, the device goes off which merges Klaw with the Vibranium turning him into a Vibranium version of himself. It took the Avengers and the Thunderbolts to defeat him. When Citizen V is outed to be Baron Helmut Zemo, he uses the remnants of Klaw's energies to merge with it to form a giant energy monster that resembles Klaw. With help from Songbird, Captain America was able to cause the energy monster to fall apart. Afterwards, Captain America is suspicious that they haven't seen the last of Baron Zemo.^[1]
