History:
(Incredible Hulk II Annual#19 /2 (fb) - BTS) - After Hank Hunter became indebted to an unidentified boss, the boss sent Simon, Tommy and Wendell halfway across the country to find and kill Hank for lack of payment.




(Incredible Hulk II Annual#19 / 2) - Tommy first found Hank Hunter shortly after Hank had visited his father's blown up mansion and moments after Tommy began a car chase with Hank, Simon joined in as well, pulling out a gun. After Hank ultimately got into a minor fender bender while frantically trying to outrun Tommy and Simon, Simon exited his car alongside a third hired goon, Wendall, to confront Hank. When Hank swore he would get them their money, Simon reminded Hank that they had traveled halfway across the country trying to track down Hank, who then ran from them when they began following him. Remarking that Hank had ran up quite a large amount of debts, Simon punched Hank and expressed his doubts that they would ever see their money again. Simon then pointed his gun at Hank, noting that they would settle for seeing Hank dead, but when Simon pulled the trigger, the bullet stopped in midair thanks to Lazarus' telekinesis. Lazarus then revealed his presence and when Simon pointed his gun at Lazarus, Lazarus telekinetically exploded the gun in Simon's hand. As Simon fell to his knees in pain and with a bloody hand, a fourth thug joined Tommy and Wendall in pointing their guns at Lazarus. In response, Lazarus levitated a car and dropped it on top of them, crushing them all. When the Hulk later arrived on the scene, a horrified Simon exclaimed that he would do whatever the Hulk said, including turning in state's evidence against his boss, as long as Hulk didn't let Lazarus hurt him.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Simon should be distinguished from:

Tommy

Tommy was a thug assigned to track down and kill Hank Hunter alongside Simon and Wendall. Tommy was the first to confront Hank from the windows of their cars, prompting a terrified Hank to speed away. Tommy, Simon and Wendall pursued until Hank crashed his car. Tommy and Wendall then accompanied Simon to Hank but when Simon attempted to shoot Hank and the bullet was telekinetically stopped in midair by Lazarus, a shocked Tommy dumbfoundedly stared at the floating bullet as Lazarus confronted Simon. When Lazarus exploded Simon's gun in his hand, Tommy, Wendall and a third thug all pulled guns on Lazarus, who levitated a car and dropped it onto them, crushing and killing all three.

Wendall

Wendall was a thug assigned to track down and kill Hank Hunter alongside Simon and Tommy. Wendall joined in the car chase when Hank Hunter sped away from Tommy and Simon and, following Hank's crashing of his car, Wendall got out of his car and grabbed Hank before he could flee again. When Lazarus arrived and exploded Simon's gun, Wendall, Tommy and a third thug all pulled their guns on Lazarus, who levitated a car and dropped it on top of them, crushing and killing all three thugs.
