Ulysses Klaue was a Netherlands-born black-market arms dealer based mostly in South Africa. In 1992 he stole a quarter-ton of vibranium from Wakanda for N'Jobu, and in 2015 he sold the rest to Ultron, who cut off his arm. In 2016 he teamed with Erik Killmonger, was captured by Black Panther in Busan, was freed by Killmonger, and was then killed by him.

Comics

Ulysses Klaw, a Belgian sonics physicist who invaded Wakanda for Vibranium, killed King T'Chaka, and was later turned into a being of living sound. He repeatedly fought the Black Panther, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, joined villain teams such as the Masters of Evil and Frightful Four, and was destroyed and rebuilt many times, most recently by T'Challa in 2017 and again afterward.
