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.[1][3]
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.[4][5]
