30 Fun Facts About The Avengers: Age Of Ultron Trailer

The Scene: Ulysses Klaw

At one point in the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, we see a very shady character giving a nefarious glare.  It’s none other than motion-capture actor extraordinaire Andy Serkis as a pre-transformation Ulysses Klaw.  But what does he have to do with Ultron and the Avengers?

From the Pages of Comics

Ulysses Klaw first appeared in a flashback in Fantastic Four #53 (August 1966) as a physicist who worked on the science of sound and its applications.  After losing his hand in a fight with T’Challa, the future Black Panther, Klaw would reemerge with a sonic weapon in place of where his right hand use to be.  Eventually, he transformed himself into a being of sound.  In another battle, Klaw would be imprisoned.  However, in Avengers #54 (July 1968) a villain called the Crimson Cowl frees him.  It turns out that the Crimson Cowl was actually Ultron.
