Tyrone Cash (Leonard Williams) is acharacter appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. The character is depicted in theUltimate Marvel universe, where he is a member ofThe Ultimates and is described as beingThe FirstHulk prior toBruce Banner.[1]
Tyrone Cash first appeared inUltimate Comics: Avengers Vol. 2 #7 and was created byMark Millar andLeinil Francis Yu.
Leonard Williams is a professor atCambridge University who has an unspecified disability that forces him to use crutches to walk. At Cambridge, Williams works withBruce Banner to recreate thesuper soldier formula. He becomes Banner's "mentor", having allegedly taught him "everything he knows." Williams disappears in an unexplained occurrence in which several people are killed, and comes to be considered a missing person.[2]
Unbeknownst to the public, Leonard Williams became the first Hulk and assumed the identity of Tyrone Cash. Unlike Bruce Banner, Cash retains his mind in his Hulk form. The years he was "missing", Cash was monitored byS.H.I.E.L.D., killing numerous people throughout Africa and Asia before becoming a gangster in South America. 16 years later,Nick Fury sendsWar Machine to retrieve him and recruit him into theUltimates. Cash initially refuses the offer and threatens to quickly rebuild his crime empire if War Machine ruins it. Cash only stops fighting after War Machine offers to tell his family that he is still alive.[1]
The first assignment given to Cash and his fellowAvengers is to take out the enigmatic and deadlyGhost Rider. In an attempt to "get the jump on" Ghost Rider the Avengers andS.H.I.E.L.D. agents stand guard at an airport. Ghost Rider eventually arrives to capture, and inevitably kill, his target. Ghost Rider rips a man from his plane and quickly rides off, but his escape is cut short by a well placed rocket courtesy ofHawkeye.[3]
Tyrone Cash is discovered to be behind the sale of S.H.I.E.L.D.-owned super-soldiers on theblack market. After the Avengers attempt to take him down and arrest him, Cash confesses that he was secretly taking orders fromCarol Danvers and that she has been selling S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets for years.[4] Cash is taken down byBlade, who hypnotizes him and drains the Hulk serum from his body. Blade brings Cash to theHelicarrier, where he is killed by Nick Fury.[5]
Using a pill that contains a perfected version of his Hulk Serum, Tyrone Cash has immense strength, stamina, durability, and speed, as well as regenerative capabilities, which are similar to those from the Hulk. Cash also has shown to be a very skilled scientist.
An alternate universe version of Tyrone Cash from Earth-15513 appears inSecret Wars as a member of theThor Corps onBattleworld.[6]
