History:

lady_ursula-kow-ex113-partfrontlady_ursula-kow-quick1cov(Quicksilver I#9 (fb) - BTS) - The High Evolutionary's powers began fluctuating wildly, causing him to shift between god-like powers to an ape-like powerless form. Lord Delphis and the Evolutionary created Isotope E in hopes that it would cure him. However, while Isotope E could return him to his more human form, his powers and form continued to fluctuate, with his periods of existing in his more powerful state grew progressively shorter.

(Quicksilver I#11 (fb) - BTS/ Heroes for Hire/Quicksilver '98 - BTS) - At some point following Exodus' assault on Wundagore Mountain (circa Avengers I#380-382), the High Evolutionary realized that this was but the first of other such battles, and he decided that he needed to create new Knights using Isotope E to defend his Citadel. At that time, he created Lady Vermin and the White Tiger, as well as Sir Wulf, figuring that a wolf's ferocity would be useful in the war to come. However, as the last wolf he had evolved became the Man-Beast, the Evolutionary felt that a wolf would not be trusted by the other Knights, and so he proclaimed that the new knight must keep his identity hidden, dubbing him Lord Anon.

(Heroes for Hire I#15 (fb)) - The Evolutionary specifically created the White Tiger to end the threat of the Man-Beast forever.

(Quicksilver I#11 (fb) - BTS) - The Man-Beast slew Lord Anon/Sir Wulf, and adopted his identity, infiltrating the Knights of Wundagore.

see comments for additional possible appearances...
(Excalibur I#113 (fb) - BTS / Quicksilver I#11 (fb) / (Quicksilver I#7 (fb)) - Sometime following Crystal's vanishing via the final conflict with Onslaught, Quicksilver brought his daughter Luna to Mount Wundagore, the only place in the world that ever felt like home to him. The High Evolutionary welcomed them to stay there, and Bova quickly became akin to an aunt to Luna. The Knights of Wundagore -- notably Lady Ursula, Lady Vermin, Lord Churchill, Lord Tyger and Sir Ram -- kept Luna happy in ways that Quicksilver could not.

(Quicksilver I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Declaring the Knights of Wundagore/New Men to be an abomination, Exodus led the Acolytes to assault the Citadel of Science, both to destroy the Knights and to claim Isotope E for their own purposes.

(Excalibur I#112 - BTS) - A plane carrying Colossus (Peter Rasputin) and Meggan crashed in the Swiss Alps, and Colossus carried Meggan into proximity of Mount Wundagore and the Citadel of Science.

(Excalibur I#113 - BTS) - Colossus and Meggan were discovered by Bova who brought them to the Citadel of Science following a brief conflict with Sir Ram.

(Excalibur I#113) - Within the Citadel, Lady Ursula and Lord Gator guided the other knights in preparation for the imminent assault. When Delphis noted that he was looking forward to testing Exodus' mettle, Ursula replied that that was because he would not be fighting on the front lines; Gator silenced Ursula.

      After Sir Ram introduced Colossus and Meggan and assured everyone that they were trustworthy, the High Evolutionary appeared and announced that they did not need Colossus and Meggan's help, and he teleported them away to Paris, France.
lady_ursula-kow-quick1-atsteedlady_ursula-kow-quick1-sword (Quicksilver I#1 (fb) - BTS) - While Pietro was away, grieving Crystal's apparent death, the Acolytes assaulted the Citadel of Science, seeking to slay the Knights and Luna (whose human nature was considered blasphemous to them) and to acquire Isotope E.

(Quicksilver I#1 - BTS) - Bova sent a message to Quicksilver, summoning him back to the citadel.

(Quicksilver I#1 - BTS) - Astride atomic steeds as well as battling from the ground, the Knights fought the Acolytes.

(Quicksilver I#1) - When an Acolyte (Mutate#8) threatened Bova and Luna, Ursula, astride her atomic steed, grabbed the Acolyte by the head with a single hand, lifted him into the air, denounced him as cowardly and punched him away back into the battle. Mutates 3 and 7 recognized Luna and targeted her as well, but Ursula caught 3's extendable arm (blocking it from grabbing Luna) and dispatched the mutate pair with her blaster weapon. Ursula then gave Bova her atomic steed and sent her back to the citadel with Luna while Ursula remained on the mountain to battle the Acolytes.

(Quicksilver I#1 - BTS) - After Bova and Luna reached the citadel and met up with Sir Ram and the High Evolutionary, a number of Acolytes breached the citadel and threatened them. Ram led Bova and Luna to the airship bay so they could escape, and he sent out an alert to all knights to swiftly send reinforcements to defend their master.

(Quicksilver I#1) - After Burst stunned the returning Quicksilver, Ursula watched aghast and then turned away as Lord Gator apparently bit off (or at least into) Burst's head. She then joined the other Knights and Quicksilver in returning to the citadel; Lord Tyger shared Lord Anon's steed, and Ursula presumably rode Tyger's steed; Quicksilver and Steed traveled by foot. They arrived as Cortez fired upon the ship carrying Luna and Bova, and with the Kleinstock brothers restraining Quicksilver, Steed sacrificed himself to stop the blast. Ursula and most of the other knights used their atomic steeds to escort the airship out of the warzone.

(Quicksilver I#1 - BTS) - After Exodus teleported into the citadel, the Evolutionary teleported himself, his remaining Knights and Quicksilver several miles away to safety, leaving his Citadel in Exodus and the Acolytes' hands.

(Quicksilver I#1) -After placing Quicksilver in charge of the Knights, the Evolutionary teleported himself and Isotope E away.

(Quicksilver I#8 (fb) - BTS) - ...to the Savage Land....

(Quicksilver I#1) - ...and teleported Quicksilver and the New Men to his Haven castle on New York's Hudson.

(Quicksilver I#3 (fb) - BTS) - When Polemachus was afflicted with the "burning skies" while Earth was afflicted with rainstorms (both of which were apparently a result of the "Heroes Reborn" return from Franklin Richard's pocket dimension), the priests Brother Cranus and Gullo determined that to survive this, they needed to dimensionally exchange Polemachus and Earth. To achieve this, they generated several dimensional portals from which some of the dinosaurs native to Polemachus escaped to Earth. In order to occupy Arkon and prevent his interference, Cranus and Gullo drugged Thundra into a maddened, berserker state and sent her to Earth-616 and then told Arkon that the sky-fires were a first strike from Earth and that he must travel there to save Thundra.

(Quicksilver I#2) - Within Haven, Lady Ursula was most pleased with Haven, considering it wonderful with such luxury and atmosphere. She and Churchill spent some time entertaining Luna.

(Quicksilver I#2) - Delphis revealed to Ursula and the others that he had determined the global rains to a result of spatial upheavals, but he also noted a second set of dimensional disturbances, which were localized in Manhattan. Ursula was thrilled when Quicksilver  agreed to take the Knights to investigate. Flying in on their atomic steeds, with Ursula giving Delphis a ride, they encountered pterosaur creatures. Ursula leapt off to punch one of the pterosaurs and then jumped back atop the steed. Quicksilver assaulted Thundra as the center of the disturbances, leading to a conflict with her arriving mate, Arkon.

(Quicksilver I#3) - After Lords Churchill and Tyger, Lady Vermin and Thundra were transported to Polemachus, Sir Ram led Ursula and Lords Anon, Delphis and Gator in attacking Arkon to protect Quicksilver until Quicksilver defused the fight and convinced Arkon to explain the reason for his assault. When Anon mocked his having attacked Earth on the word of a pagan priest, Ursula told him to stop it, as they had their faith and he had his. Having analyzed the dimensional disturbances, Delphis informed Arkon that they originated from Polemachus, and that Thundra had been drugged.

(Quicksilver I#3 (fb) - BTS) - Having computed the location of the next space-warp, Delphis facilitated the travel of the Knights, Quicksilver and Arkon to Polemachus.

(Quicksilver I#3) - After Ursula and the others arrived on Polemachus, Delphis delivered a dose of <some antidote, such as naloxone> to Thundra, who guided Quicksilver to smash Cranus and Gullo's portal generators and prevent the dimensional transfer of the worlds.

     Delphis remained on Polemachus to help Arkon's people find a legitimate remedy for their problems, and other priests of Polemachus opened a portal back to Earth that returned the Ram and the other Knights to Haven, while Quicksilver was instead sent to a field where he was reunited with Crystal, who had returned to Earth along with the others temporarily transported to Franklin Richard's pocket dimension.
(Quicksilver I#4 (fb)) - Quicksilver brought Crystal to Haven and introduced her to the Knights Lords Anon, Churchill, Gator and Tyger, Ladies Ursula and Vermin, and Sir Ram. lady_ursula-kow-quick5-civ

(Quicksilver I#4 (fb) - BTS) - The Knights subsequently departed Haven without telling Bova where they were going. When Quicksilver called to check on them, he was disturbed by their absence.

(Quicksilver I#5 (fb) - BTS) - The Knights went out for a New York City dinner.

(Quicksilver I#5) - Afterward, when Lord Tyger complained about the restaurant, Ursula told him he was complaining just because they didn't serve a wine to his liking, and she added that she found it educational to dine among humans. When Sir Ram suggested the return to Haven, Ursula told him that he worried too much and that they could learn much from interacting with the people of the city.

     They were planning to go to an opera but instead chose to see Cats.

(Quicksilver I#5) - Ram sent Churchill, Tyger, Ursula and Vermin in a taxi back toward the castle. He planned to meet them there after he had found Gator and Anon.

(Quicksilver I#5 - BTS) - The taxi driver gassed Churchill, Tyger, Ursula and Vermin and then took off in a flying car.

(Quicksilver I#8 (fb) - BTS) - The captured Knights were taken to and imprisoned in a secluded abbey fifty miles north of Haven, used as a base by Avalanche, Fenris, Feral, Omega Red, Pyro, Random and others serving Exodus.

(Quicksilver I#6 - BTS) - Having returned to Haven, Sir Ram realized that the other Knights who had not yet returned. He resolved to head back to New York to try to pick up the other Knights' trail anew.

(Quicksilver I#7 (fb) - BTS) - Lord Gator was apparently captured separately and also imprisoned in the abbey base of the Acolytes.

(Quicksilver I#7) - Ursula, Gator, Tyger and Vermin waited in their cell as the Acolytes tortured Churchill in an effort to learn the location of the High Evolutionary and the Isotope E he carried with him. Hearing Churchill's howls, Ursula sympathized with his pain. Vermin reminded Ursula that Churchill was a knight and could bear the pain and that, if he must, he would give his life to protect their lord (the High Evolutionary).

    Vermin subsequently convinced a normal rat to take her place, allowing her to escape and seek aid. The Acolytes subsequently returned Churchill, who had refused to talk, and they took the rat, thinking it was Lady Vermin.

(Quicksilver I#8 - BTS) - Lady Vermin returned to Haven and informed Sir Ram and Quicksilver of her fellow knights' location as prisoners in the abbey base. While she did not know their captor's identities, she did know that they had questioned about the location of the High Evolutionary and Isotope E.

 (Quicksilver I#8 - BTS) - Although the knights had not divulged the High Evolutionary's location (they most likely did not even know it), Exodus independently identified the unique energy signature of Isotope E in Antarctica's Savage Land. He therefore instructed his agents to travel there and to secure the Evolutionary and Isotope E. He instructed his agents to keep the Knights alive.

(Quicksilver I#8 (fb) - BTS) - Appreciating the mutants' ship's destination, Lord Anon located the other Knights' armors and stowed them in the craft.

(Quicksilver I#8) - Ursula and the others listened to the death scream of the rat who had taken Lady Vermin's place. When Exodus' mutant agents attempted to force the Knights to accompany them, they fought back and, joined by Lord Anon, they overcame the mutants and took their ship to the Savage Land.

(Quicksilver I#8 - BTS) - By the time Lady Vermin, Sir Ram and Quicksilver arrived (the Knights aboard an atomic steed and Quicksilver by foot), the abbey base was deserted; however, a rat who had heard Exodus' orders to his followers relayed their destination to Lady Vermin, who shared it with her allies.

(Quicksilver I#8 (fb) - BTS) - Quicksilver obtained an Avengers Quinjet to transport himself, Ram and Vermin to the Savage Land as well.

(Quicksilver I#8) - The first group of Knights landed and encountered and battled recent mutates of the High Evolutionary, and Ram, Vermin and Quicksilver arrived soon after. They were upset with Anon's wanton slaughter of these beings who were like brethren to them. Additionally, when Anon blasted and slew a triceratops creature, Quicksilver was stunned by that blast. Ursula helped him to his feet.

     After noting another arriving ship, which they correctly assessed as carry Exodus' forces, the Knights and Quicksilver fell through a pit into the Evolutionary's underground laboratory, where the Evolutionary revealed his gorilla-like face and noted that things had gone terribly wrong.

lady_ursula-kow-quick10-vault(Quicksilver I#9) - Ursula and the other Knights were present alongside Quicksilver as the High Evolutionary reviewed his history and his current state of being dependent on Isotope E. The Evolutionary was distraught to learn that Lord Delphis was not with them (nor even on Earth, as he was still in Polemachus), at which point the mutants serving Exodus -- Avalanche, Fenris, Feral, Omega Red, Pyro and Random, as well as Acolytes Decay, Gargouille, Projector, Scanner and Cortez -- attacked.

     The Knights and Quicksilver fought back and defended the virtually powerless Evolutionary. Ursula slashed Pyro's back, and Lord Churchill secured Isotope E and then gave it to the Evolutionary to flee with it. While Ursula and Gator engaged Random, Lord Anon's armor was breached, and Churchill recognized him as the Man-Beast; however, when Churchill confronted Anon, he slew Churchill. After Quicksilver led the Knights back up to the surface to aid the Evolutionary, Anon told the others that Churchill had fallen in battle. The remaining Knights and Quicksilver joined the Evolutionary back at their ship, planning to return to Mount Wundagore to retake the Citadel of Science.

lady_ursula-kow-hfh15-face-prof

(Quicksilver I#10 (fb) - BTS) - The High Evolutionary, Lady Ursula and the Knights returned first to Haven, after which Quicksilver took the Avengers Quinjet to return it to Avengers Mansion.

(Quicksilver I#10) - As the Knights trained in combat, the Evolutionary stated that they would soon be ready to reclaim their former home, but first he needed him to get word to Lord Delphis to return from Polemachus. The Evolutionary also stated that he considered Quicksilver to be a big disappointment and noted that they would leave without him if he had not returned before their departure. Additionally, the Evolutionary instructed Bova to summon the White Tiger for the coming battle.


(Heroes for Hire I#15) - Bova returned to Haven with the White Tiger, and Ram then introduced her to Lady Ursula and Lords Gator and Tyger, further noting that Lady Vermin was preparing the craft, Lord Anon was out on patrol and Sir Delphis was in another dimension.

    The knights present were a bit put off by her having been previously unknown to them. She revealed her origins, and when Tyger asked why use her rather than him, the Evolutionary interrupted, noting that none should question him.

     Ultimately the Evolutionary agreed to have the White Tiger bring her Heroes for Hire allies to aid in re-taking their castle atop Mount Wundagore; Lord Anon watched silently from a distance.

     The White Tiger subsequently returned with Ant-Man, Black Knight, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, and Ursula -- still not comfortable with the White Tiger -- questioned their nature/presence. Not having expected her swift return, Lord Anon then re-entered Haven, and when White Tiger recognized his true nature, Anon struck her down with his sword. Before he could finish her off, the Heroes for Hire came to her rescue, and a battle between the two groups ensued.

    Ursula battled Cage, eventually lifting him into the air with a single hand and asking why he held back. Noting that his grandmother had told him never to hit ladies, he considered that she never mentioned any lady bears as he punched her in the face. Although her mouth was bloodied, Ursula smiled and told him that she need not have worried before she punched Cage across the room.

     Wielding a scepter containing Isotope E, the Evolutionary ended the battle by devolving Ant-Man, Black Knight, Luke Cage and Iron Fist into ape-like form.

lady_ursula-kow-quick11-upper-armored
(Heroes for Hire I#16 (fb) - BTS) - Quicksilver arranged for the Avengers and Fantastic Four to send word to Lord Delphis to return and aid the Evolutionary and the Knights.
(Quicksilver I#11 (fb) - BTS) - The Knights, High Evolutionary and Bova flew an aircraft toward Mount Wundagore.

(Quicksilver I#11 - BTS) - Quicksilver took the injured White Tiger back to Oracle Inc. (the Heroes for Hire's base) for treatment.

(Quicksilver I#11) - While the Acolytes had been sent by Exodus to Haven in hopes of recovering Isotope E, the Knights arrived at their Citadel, reclaiming armor and weapons from an armory the Acolytes had failed to ransack. Ursula agreed with Gator's vowing that the Acolytes would pay for that mistake with their lives, she added, "let the villains taste our steel."

(Quicksilver I#11 - BTS) - In the infirmary, Bova discovered the corpse of Sir Wulf.

(Quicksilver I#11) - Ursula recognized Bova's cry of distress, and she and the other Knights rushed to the infirmary, where Bova revealed how Sir Wulf had been the original Lord Anon, making the current Lord Anon an impostor. They rushed to see to the Evolutionary, only to find him fallen at the hands of Lord Anon, who revealed his true identity as the Man-Beast.



(Heroes for Hire I#16 - BTS) - Iron Fist, temporarily restored to human form as the Isotope E change had been temporary, used his chi to heal White Tiger. The Heroes joined Quicksilver in a ship traveling to Wundagore.

lady_ursula-kow-hfh16-wtyger(Heroes for Hire I#16) - Lady Ursula and the other Knights attacked the Man-Beast, who used the Isotope E scepter to augment his psi-blasts (he specifically noted that he was saving its energy for "greater purposes," or he would have simply devolved them all). Nonetheless, the distraction allowed Bova to carry the fallen Evolutionary to safety.

     Exodus subsequently arrived alongside his Acolytes (Cargill, Gargouille, Javitz, Harlan & Sven Kleinstock, Mellencamp, Milan, Scanner, Senyaka, Spoor, Unuscione), and while Man-Beast fought Exodus, the Acolytes attacked the Knights; Ursula fought Scanner initially. Alongside Lord Tyger, Ursula allowed the Acolytes to corner them as a delaying tactic to allow Ram and Gator to recover and return with atomic steeds.

    As Gator and Ram took out the Acolytes, Ursula and Tyger traveled to the armory. Finding Bova with the unconscious Evolutionary, Ursula was disappointed to find their lord had not shown any sign of recovery, but she picked up an blaster rifle and stated that they would fight for him.

    When Bova asked if they could hope to defeat both Exodus and the Man-Beast without their lord's power, Ursula acknowledged that they could not and that the attack on the Citadel was a mistake from the start. Nonetheless, they had to find a way to destroy their enemies and to protect Isotope E. She vowed that they would die to protect him: "Is that not why we were created?"

    Atop their atomic steeds, Ursula and Tyger joined the fight against the Acolytes.

(Heroes for Hire I#16 (fb) - BTS) - Man-Beast and Exodus formed a temporarily alliance, and their forces reported that they had captured the Evolutionary.

(Heroes for Hire I#16) - As the Heroes for Hire (including Thena) and Quicksilver arrived, the Knights -- with the Evolutionary reportedly held hostage -- reluctantly allied with the Acolytes against them. Ursula punched the Black Knight in the abdomen, lifting him high into the air.

    Ultimately, the Man-Beast used the Isotope E scepter to incapacitate Cage, while the Knights and Acolytes defeated Quicksilver and the other Heroes for Hire.

(Quicksilver I#12) - Having waited in their training room, when Sir Ram advised they do nothing with the Evolutionary at risk, Ursula advised that they engage the Man-Beast directly, insisting that there was no honor in being forced to serve that villain.

    Having escaped his cell, Quicksilver located the Knights and informed them that he had not found the Evolutionary to be a prisoner of the Man-Beast. He suggested they focus on finding their master.

(Quicksilver I#12) - Sir Ram led the Knights to escape captivity.lady_ursula-kow-quick12-death

(Quicksilver I#12 - BTS) - Quicksilver subsequently freed the Heroes for Hire and stole the Isotope E scepter from the Man-Beast. Appreciating its sudden departure, the Man-Beast called to Sir Ram to get in there immediately, but Exodus informed him that Sir Ram did not appear to be nearby.

    Aiding the Heroes for Hire against the Acolytes, Quicksilver used Isotope E to amplify his own abilities to a level comparable to Magneto's.

(Quicksilver I#12) - In the caverns below the citadel, the Knights located the weakened Evolutionary alongside Bova. After Ram ordered that the Evolutionary be taken to the infirmary at the armory, they were then confronted by the Man-Beast.

    Lady Ursula charged Man-Beast, insisting that they would never surrender to the foul villain, but he mentally commanded her to turn her weapon on her fellow Knights while she futilely demanded he get out of her head. Ultimately, the other Knights could only stand aghast as Ursula -- unable to resist the Man-Beast's power -- shot herself in the head to prevent herself from attacking her teammates; Man-Beast mockingly revealed to the others that he had allowed her to do this to reduce his opposition.

Comments: Created by Ben Raab and Pete Woods.

    Lady Ursula was perhaps the most likable of the Knights of Wundagore from this group. Her death was surprising and sad.

    Lady Ursula could have been unseen or just fully armored (although the sizes of the knights seen did not appear to fit for her size) in any or all of the Knights appearances in Thor I#406, Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#12 and/or Spider-Man: Dead Man's Hand#1.
    She would presumably NOT be one of the Knights who accompanied Thor into the Black Galaxy at the end of Thor I#406, as they all apparently perished in Thor I#407.

(Thor I#406 (fb) - BTS) - The New Men restored the Citadel of Science atop Mount Wundagore to its former glory.

(Thor I#402-405 - BTS) - Presumably under pre-existing orders from the High Evolutionary to obtain cell samples of Thor (which was presumably the start of what would become the High Evolutionary's plan to create the New Immortals via Thor's DNA), the New Man known as Mongoose kidnapped Eric Masterson and brought him to Mount Wundagore in order to lure Thor there.

(Thor I#406) - As Thor approached, ignoring Tagar's disagreement with his methods, Mongoose had a missile launched at Thor, and then after its detonation, he sent the Knights of Wundagore out to recover as much of Thor's body as possible.

     Having destroyed the missile and survived the explosion, Thor attacked the approaching Knights, shattering one of their atomic steeds with his hammer, Mjolnir.

    The Knights attempted to disarm him with Maneuver 138, in which at least four of them launched steel cables around Mjolnir and then tried to pull it free via the power of their atomic steeds.

    However, Thor resisted this force before hurling Mjolnir and pulling them all off of their steeds and then dropping them to ground in his vicinity when Mjolnir returned to him.

    As Sir Panther remained the only Knight still atop his steed, an unidentified Knight fired on Thor, and the blast, deflected from Mjolnir, shattered Sir Panther's steed.

    While Sir Panther fell toward the distant ground, Thor flew down and caught him, after which the Knights acknowledged that honor prevented them from further fighting him.

     At that point, the Knights were summoned back to base at once by Count Tagar, who explained that the attack was caused by the now-missing Mongoose, and he released Eric Masterson as a show of good faith.

    Tagar informed them that the Cosmi-Track device had located the High Evolutionary, and that he and Hercules were within the Black Galaxy.

    When Thor vowed to travel there to rescue Hercules, the Knights insisted that it would be their privilege to accompany him.

    Not trusting the Knights, Masterson also insisted on going, and Tagar provided him with a nuclear-powered environmental suit to protect him.

(Thor I#407 (fb) - BTS) - The Knights were charged with two responsibilities: To find their master, the High Evolutionary, and to return with enough Asgardian cell samples for future experiments. They had no intention of allowing Thor or Eric Masterson to survive the mission.

(Thor I#406) - Shortly thereafter, Tagar had the Stellar Telejump activated, sending the Knights (including Sir Ferret, Sir Puma, presumably Sir Panther, and two others unidentified), Thor and Eric Masterson to the Black Galaxy, where they observed a giant image of Hercules...


(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack I#12) - Seeking a base of operations via which to spread their power, the Genesis Coalition used Cyberwarriors purchased from Cybertek to assault Mount Wundagore.

     The Cyberwarriors were opposed both by the Knights of Wundagore (none of whom were identified), as well as Siege, a Cyberwarrior taken over by the uploaded memories of John Kelly. The Knights noted and appreciated Siege's assistance, as there were many against their few.

    Threatened by the combat, the Genesis Coalition ordered retreat, and they departed, after which Silver Sable and her Wild Pack (Chen, Crippler, Quentino) and the Next Wave (Agent X, Fin, Sandman, Snare, Turk) joined the fight against the Cyberwarriors. After Sandman procured the undamaged head of a Cyberwarrior, Quentino altered the Cyberwarriors' tandem program, shutting them down.

     One of the Knights thanked Sable for her assistance and told her that if she ever required their service in defending her homeland, Symkaria, they would be by her side.
(Spider-Man: Dead Man's Hand#1) - Seeking to cure the Carrion zombie plague unleashed by the William Allen Carrion, Spider-Man had the Tinkerer teleport him to Mount Wundagore to enlist the aid of the High Evolutionary. Swiftly identifying the intruder, the Knights of Wundagore, aboard their atomic steeds, prepared to engage and restrain him.

     When one of them insisted that no one would be allowed to steal their master's work, Spider-Man assured them he was not there to steal anything and -- as he knocked a hand blaster out of one of their number's hand -- that he did not have time to waste fighting them.

     When Spider-Man demanded to be taken to their leader immediately, the Knight flew him to the Citadel of Science on his atomic steed within a few minutes and then brought him to the High Evolutionary.

(Spider-Man: Dead Man's Hand#1 - BTS) - Refusing to become involved with the affairs of humanity or to deal with the actions of Miles Warren (who had originally created Carrion), who had learned from him, the High Evolutionary teleported Spider-Man back to Manhattan. Nonetheless, posing as Dr. Wyndham from the Center for Disease Control, the Evolutionary -- accepting responsibility for Warren having used knowledge taken from him to create the Carrion virus -- assisted S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Leslie Miglietta in developing a cure for the zombie plague.
