Character Bio - Eric Williams, the brother of Simon Williams, who later became known as the
Wonder Man, was born in Paterson, New Jersey. Eric was always the black sheep of his family. His mother would tell him that he was "born bad" whilst heaping affection on Simon. One day, Eric was playing with chemicals in the garage and caused a fire that burned down their house. Simon felt guilty for having not stopped Eric, and resolved to be responsible for Eric from then on. Eventually, Eric joined the Maggia and moved to Las Vegas; meanwhile, Simon took over the family business, Williams Innovations. Partly due to competition with Stark Industries, Williams Innovations began to fail. Desperate, Simon turned to Eric and his mob ties for help. Simon embezzled money from the company to invest with Eric, but Simon was caught and jailed. Simon was freed from jail by
Baron Zemo, induced by an offer of revenge on Tony Stark by defeating
Iron Man and the Avengers. Simon was transformed into the Wonder Man in order to infiltrate the Avengers, but Zemo's empowering process also poisoned Simon, ensuring his loyalty in exchange for the antidote. Simon's better nature won out, however, and he died saving the Avengers from Zemo's trap. Learning of Simon's death, Eric was inflamed with guilt and anger. He contacted the Tinkerer who provided him with his scythe weapon. Taking the name the Grim Reaper, he defeated the Avengers, but was beaten by the surprise appearance of the
Black Panther. Later, the Grim Reaper confronted the Avengers with his Lethal Legion. The Legion was defeated when the Grim Reaper found himself unable to strike down the
Vision, having discovered that he possessed Simon's brainwave patterns.
