What a name…Ulysses…. Anyway, he’s the main villain for the hero Black Panther, and we even got to see him in Age of Ultron!
Yeah, that creepy Wakandan guy (played by Andy Serkis) with the South African accent. Who knew Klaw’s greatest weakness was cuttlefish? (Reference to AOU)
Yes that’s a cuttlefish
Ulysses has always been obsessed with the power of sound waves, and wants to use vibranium as a medium for his devices because of how incredibly volatile the metal is.
It was important that Ultron kinda chopped his arm off because Klaw does have a missing hand. He attaches a very powerful sound converter to his stub and uses it to sonic boom the snot out of anyone who threatens him.
The dude has great durability and strength and is sometimes even able to convert himself into pure sonic energy. O.o Also, it’s pretty difficult to sneak up on him since he uses sonar to sense his surroundings. I bet he’d be great at a game of Stalk the Lantern.
The reason he has a missing limb in the comics and how he came to be an enemy of Black Panther is due to him being such a douchebag. He dueled Black Panther’s father, T’Chaka, who was the chief of the Wakandan tribe. He cheated though, and killed T’Chaka in cold blood right in front of his son. Young Black Panther (T’Challa is his name) was so outraged that he attacked Klaw and Ulysses had to run away at the cost of his hand. Still grieving over his father’s unceremonious death, Black Panther continues to fight Klaw, who seems to grow more powerful every time they meet.
We shall certainly see this noisy villain in the future, and definitely in the Black Panther movie coming out in a few years time.
This ruthless manipulator of sound is one mean bad guy for Black Panther, his power only matched by his hatred for Wakanda.
Looks like T’Challa had better watch his back.
And as always, have a marvelous day. 😉
