Known Relatives: Colonel Fritz Klaue (father, deceased), Mrs. Klaw (mother), Julia Klaw (sister), unidentified great-great-great grandfather
Aliases: Ronald Pershing, Master of Sound, Murderous Master of Sound, Sound Master, Sultan of Sound
Base of Operations: Mobile
Place of Birth: Vlaardingen, Netherlands
First Appearance: Fantastic Four I#53 (August, 1966)
Powers/Abilities: Composed of solidified sound, Klaw does not need to sleep, breathe, eat, or drink, and is immune to diseases, impacts, and wounds. He can increase his size by converting surrounding sounds into mass and adding it to his form, and can decrease his size by discharging sound mass from it. Through unknown means, Klaw's prosthetic grows or shrinks in size with him. Klaw can alter his own shape, and has done so to form himself into a large sound train. He can also add other elements into his form as he grows larger, as he once mixed water in with his increased sound mass, appearing as a watery giant. Klaw is resistant, if not immune, to telepathic attacks. Klaw is super-strong, capable of lifting up to five tons. Klaw's form can be cut apart and fused back together without injury to himself. His form was once converted into a group of lenses before becoming corporeal again. Before his transformation, Klaw replaced one of his hands with a prosthetic sound converter, also called a sonic claw or sound horn, which can absorb sound and solidify it. When Klaw has been dissipated in the past, his form is generally absorbed by his own converter until a sound or vibration restores his form and sentience. Klaw, through unknown means, has attached his prosthetic to his sound form, and it has been known to increase and decrease in size with him. Though his prosthetic has at times been destroyed, Klaw has either reformed it or re-equipped himself with another. Klaw has occasionally upgraded his prosthetic, making it larger and once equipping it with a Vibranium lace (which ultimately proved unhealthy), but he has always returned to using his standard prosthetic.
Klaw can create various constructs of solidified sound which he can mentally control and which maintain cohesiveness until Klaw dissipates it, either willingly or because distracted, or because the construct is disrupted. Klaw can maintain these constructs even at a distance. He generally prefers to create giant constructs of various jungle animals, usually gorillas, panthers, and elephants, and has been known to call these constructs his “Sonimals”. Klaw has also created solidified suits of armor, walls capable of shattering bullets, balls that will continue to absorb sound mass independent of Klaw, diagrams, and even a baseball team. Klaw's constructs are capable of speech if he wills it. Klaw can reabsorb any of his constructs at will. Klaw's constructs are almost always crimson, but he has been known to create black and gold constructs and while under the influence of the Beyonder, dozens of multi-colored monsters. Though non-sentient and less powerful than him, Klaw's constructs are capable of vast damage and usually possess enhanced strength. When Klaw's prosthetic is damaged, he is unable to create sound constructs.
Klaw can manipulate sound vibrations to varying effects. He can amplify existing sounds up to an intensity of 170 decibels, capable of deafening anyone in a .6 mile radius. Klaw can utilize vibrations to cause vertigo in the inner ear of others, burst the ear drums of others, briefly hypnotize others, or drive animals into frenzies with high pitches. Klaw can mimic any sound, including music and others' voices. Klaw can fire concussive blasts of sound at others, sometimes referring to these blasts as his “immobilizer beam”, and can cancel out his other constructs with a “reversion blast” of sound. He can also fire steady streams of sonic pulses.
Klaw can transform himself into pure, non-solidified energy. While propelling himself through the air at the speed of sound he can smash through the hull of a battleship. Klaw can also utilize his constructs to fly with him at this speed, even if those constructs contain living beings, and he has used this as a method of transportation for various teams he's belonged to.
Klaw is extremely vulnerable to the vibration-absorbing ore Wakandan Vibranium which, when in contact with his, causes him to lose energy or parts of his corporeal form. Klaw has successfully been held in prisons with Vibranium bars or walls. Klaw was once briefly empowered by unstable Vibranium, which was weakened due to a “Vibranium cancer.” Klaw is also susceptible to the metal-disintegrating Antarctic Vibranium, which can destabilize his form. Klaw is vulnerable to sonics or vibrations that disrupt his own internal vibrations, and can be knocked unconscious by blows or blasts powerful enough to do this. Klaw cannot generally maintain his corporeal form in a vacuum, though he has been known to do so by drawing from the sound in his own body. Klaw's form or energy has been absorbed by super-heroes capable of doing so, such as Dazzler, Guardian (Heather Hudson), and Ms. Marvel. Klaw's ability to utilize his powers seems to depend upon his mental state, his inner vibrations harmonics, and his time spent recovering from wounds. Klaw's powers, when unstable, have caused his form to build to dangerously explosive levels.
Using the right frequencies, Klaw was able to possess humans with
sound vibrations, turning them into facsimiles of him with sound waves;
these frequencies could be countered with the right counter-frequency.

History: (Fantastic Four Unlimited#1/2 (fb) - BTS) - Fritz Klaue loved Greek mythology, and so named his infant son Ulysses.
(Black Panther I#166 (fb)) - Years ago, Fritz Klaw was abusive to his wife, Mrs. Klaw, as well as Ulysses and Julia, who suffered from hearing voices. At the Antwerp Lunatic Asylum, young Ulysses visited his Julia, who was silent after suffering from a lobotomy, one her parents had submitted her for.
(Fantastic Four Unlimited#1/2 (fb)) - Klaue, an ally of the Third Reich during World War II, crashed his ship in the country of Wakanda, and was tended to by the Wakandan king T'Chanda and his wife Nanali. Seeking to utilize Wakanda's powerful Vibranium in the war effort, Klaue, who had one hand replaced by a hand of iron, formed a mercenary force and murdered many who opposed him, including Nanali. T'Chanda, guised as the Black Panther, stopped Klaue, and Klaue fled, vowing that he or his son would return to Wakanda for revenge someday. Years later, T'Chanda's son, T'Chaka, became king and the new Black Panther.
(Fantastic Four Unlimited#1/2 (fb) - BTS) - Klaue changed his last name to Klaw, and raised Ulysses, who learned of Wakanda from his father.
(Fantastic Four I#53 (fb) - BTS) - Ulysses Klaw, calling himself the Master of Sound, developed sound weaponry.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe I#6) - Klaw worked as a physicist in the field of applied sonics at the Technical University at Delft. He designed a sound converter, and theorized he would need Vibranium to utilize it.
(Fantastic Four I#53 (fb)/Black Panther III#5 (fb)/Rise of the Black Panther I#1) - Determined to prove that the rare mineral Vibranium existed, and needing the ore to power his sound transformer (which could theoretically turn sound into mass), Klaw, using intel purchased from Hydra, led a mercenary force into the hidden African country of Wakanda, using his talents of geology to track the Wakandan Vibranium meteor, and demanded that King T'Chaka give up his people's rights to Vibranium. T'Chaka refused, and Klaw fired on T'Chaka's young son T'Challa, but T'Chaka intercepted the blow and was killed. The mercenaries turned their guns on the people, scattering them. T'Chaka's young son, T'Challa, stole a sound-blaster and returned to the village, where Klaw and the mercenaries were scattering, pillaging, and burning things down.
(Killmonger I#1 (fb)) - After N'Jadaka's father was killed in Klaw's war, he had the boy taken away by his aid, M'Demwe.
(Killmonger I#2 (fb) - BTS) - In South America, M'Demwe informed Klaw that N'Jadaka was from royal blood.
(Wakanda I#3/1 (fb) - BTS) - Klaw gathered other children, including Simbarashe, Genet, Izaak, Aamadu, Bassel, Xolani, and Dzigbode, and sent them to climb a mountain to gather some fruit. He secretly gave the children missions to kill each other to see who would survive. Only N'Jadaka returned alive.
(Killmonger I#2 (fb)) - Klaw summoned N'Jadaka, telling him he would teach the boy how to kill, and telling him that he would be called Erik from now on.
(Killmonger I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Erik hunted down M'Demwe, killing him, and vowed he would go after Klaw.
(Jungle Action II#7 (fb)) - Klaw sold some Wakandans, including N'Jadaka (who would become Killmonger) into slavery.
(Fantastic Four I#53 (fb)/ Black Panther II#5 (fb)/Rise of the Black Panther I#1) - T'Challa turned the blaster on the mercenaries, then on Klaw, and the blast shattered Klaw's right hand. Klaw retreated with his men, vowing to return for the Vibranium.
(Fantastic Four I#53 (fb) - BTS) - Ten years later, Klaw, his hand replaced with a 'metal force glove', returned to Wakanda and set up his machinery in a deep cave near the Vibranium mound, his sound transformer now operating, and giving him the ability to create sound constructs and control them. He secretly used these constructs to terrorize the locals. He heard of the hero the Black Panther, but he believed him to be a myth. Klaw's prosthetic could tap into his machines and turn sound waves into solidified sound which Klaw could shape to his will. He began terrorizing the land with various sound constructs.
(Fantastic Four I#53) - Two of T'Challa's Territorial Patrol investigated reports of a giant predator, and came across Klaw's gigantic sound-gorilla. It attacked them, but exploded into energy when they shot it. Before they could recover, an enormous sound-elephant attacked them, and they ran for it. Another sound-gorilla charged at the Vibranium mound, absorbing the energy discharges fired by the locals and returning the fire. The visiting Fantastic Four attacked and the sound-gorilla was resistant to flames until Thing punched it. The explosion sent the heroes reeling, having given off a sonic boom. T'Challa, now the Black Panther, attacked Klaw in the cave before Klaw could launch his final attack. Klaw created a sound-panther to fight Black Panther while another sound-elephant fought Thing until it faded away. When Black Panther proved the sound-panther's better, Klaw allowed it to dissipate. Klaw prepared to kill Black Panther, who flipped a switch and overloaded Klaw's equipment. The cave exploded with Klaw inside, and all of his sound-constructs dissipated. Trapped in the cave and devastated, Klaw jumped inside his own sound transformer.
(Fantastic Four I#56) - Now a being of solidified sound, Klaw moved to get revenge on Black Panther. He traveled to New York and staked out the Baxter Building headquarters of the Fantastic Four. At the right moment, he trapped Mister Fantastic and Thing behind a sound wall, then attacked the Invisible Girl, using varying levels of vibrations to break through her forcefield when she refused to surrender or contact Black Panther. The heroine, invisible, ran for it, but Klaw pursued, amplifying the sound of her footsteps to find her. He prepared to fire an immobilizer beam at her, but Thing intercepted it, having escaped. Klaw dispelled much of his energy to down the Thing, the sonic energy seen all around the building. He then saw Invisible Girl at Mister Fantastic's barrier and fired a reversion blast that allowed she and Mister Fantastic to be reunited. Mister Fantastic received a package via a rocket from Black Panther that contained Vibranium bonds. He absorbed Klaw's blast and took the offensive, jumping over Klaw's blasts at the floor. Mister Fantastic engulfed Klaw in his elasticized body and absorbed the rest of his energy. He planned to lock Klaw in a Vibranium prison.
(Killmonger I#1 (fb)) - Klaw was completing a heist for Kingpin with his man, Bru, when a shot was fired by N'Jadaka, but it narrowly missed. Klaw fled in his car.
(Avengers I#54 (fb) - BTS) - Klaw was contacted by the mysterious Crimson Cowl and agreed to join a new Masters of Evil team when promised they would take on the Avengers, which Black Panther had joined. New teammates included Black Knight (Whitman), Melter, Radioactive Man, and Whirlwind.
(Avengers I#54) - The Avengers' butler Jarvis arrived, working with the Crimson Cowl and after the villains recounted their motives for joining the team, provided the plans for the Avengers' security system. Crimson Cowl gassed Jarvis, then dismissed the Masters of Evil until midnight. However, warned by Crimson Cowl, they followed Black Knight, who planned to betray him, to Avengers Mansion. Klaw knocked Black Knight from his horse, then burst into the mansion and saw the Wasp. She kicked Klaw, but he quickly subdued her. The villains regrouped with the captive Avengers (Black Panther, Hawkeye, Goliath (Pym), Wasp). They were then contacted by Crimson Cowl, who was confusedly unmasked as a robot and then subsequently as Jarvis himself.
(Avengers I#55) - With the Avengers prisoner, the Masters of Evil boarded their ship, heading back to Crimson Cowl. Klaw kept Wasp in a jar, planning on keeping her in his base in Africa. Klaw refused to kill the Avengers, fearing the Crimson Cowl still. Left to transport the Avengers into headquarters, Klaw was unexpectedly attacked by Goliath, who'd awakened, leaving Crimson Cowl to save him by gassing Goliath. Crimson Cowl insulted Klaw, who furiously turned his most powerful sound blast on Crimson Cowl, and realized it had no effect. Klaw pleaded for his life, and Crimson Cowl agreed to spare him. Back with the other Masters, Crimson Cowl revealed his Hydrogen bomb, within which he planned to load the Avengers and blackmail the country. The Masters soon learned that Jarvis wasn't really the Crimson Cowl, but had only been under hypnosis, and the real Crimson Cowl was the robot, Ultron-5. Jarvis escaped and led Black Knight to the villains, and they freed the Avengers, who then attacked the Masters. Klaw turned his hand blaster, now called his sonic claw, on the Avengers, but was soon caught up in the complex battle and was beset by arrows from Hawkeye and knocked out by a kick from the Black Panther (who, perhaps, had Vibranium soles in his boots).
(Avengers I#83 (fb) - BTS) - Klaw aided his fellow Masters of Evil in escaping from prison.
(Avengers I#83) - The Masters of Evil (with no Crimson Cowl), who grew angry with Klaw for acting as their leader, planned to kidnap famous scientist T. W. Erwin from a parade in Rutland, Vermont, that the Avengers (Black Panther, Goliath (Pym), Quicksilver, Vision) were also in. The Masters climbed on Erwin's float, which also contained Tom Fagan, and were spotted. The Avengers attacked, and Black Panther fired a blast on Black Panther, collapsing a wall on him. The Lady Liberators (Black Widow (Romanoff), Medusa, Scarlet Witch, Valkyrie (secretly Amora the Enchantress)) arrived and Black Widow knocked Klaw away from Black Panther. The Masters were all soon defeated.
(Fantastic Four I#119) - Based in the African country of Rudyarda, Klaw manipulated Jeth Robards and Nathan Kumalo to sneak into Wakanda to retrieve a new invention, the Vibrotron, which was capable of augmenting Vibranium. Klaw confronted Robards when he returned, and he shot Robards down when the minion tried to flee in Klaw's own helicopter. Klaw briefly battled T'Challa (briefly calling himself Black Leopard, Human Torch, and Thing, who defeated Klaw by smashing his prosthetic, leaving T'Challa to knock Klaw unconscious.
(Avengers I#126 (fb)) - Klaw was terrorized and beaten by the Rudyardian police. Klaw teamed up with fellow captive Solarr and they took the fight back to their captors, threatening to kill them and possibly murdering one. The two put together a plot to get revenge on the Avengers and Black Panther.
(Avengers I#126) - Posing as Rudyardian ambassador Ronald Pershing, Klaw, who wore a fake hand, a disguise, and carried a briefcase with his power source inside, approached the Avengers (Black Panther, Captain America (Rogers), Iron Man (Stark), Mantis, Scarlet Witch, Swordsman (Duquesne), Thor, Vision) for aid against Klaw and Solarr, who he purported were terrorizing their government. When they arrived in Rudyarda, Klaw spoke through a giant sound construct of himself, and trapped several of the Avengers and himself, as the ambassador, in a sound bubble. Klaw, through his sound construct, demanded vengeance on the Rudyardian government and diplomatic immunity once the battle was over, and ordered Black Panther to cede control of Wakanda over to Klaw, and threatened that if his demands weren't met, Solarr would kill their hostages one at a time. To show the truth of this, Solarr shot Klaw's ambassador form, and Klaw feigned 'near death', though he held on to his briefcase. His point made, Klaw dissipated his giant form. With their teammates still trapped in Klaw's bubble, Black Panther, Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor moved to find Klaw, but were attacked by sound-panthers. Black Panther finally deduced the truth and attacked 'Pershing.' He destroyed Klaw's power source, and Klaw and Solarr were soon defeated.
(Ka-Zar II#15 (fb) - BTS) - Shauran, an alien Sheenarian from another dimension, approached Klaw for aid in bringing his people forward for an invasion of Earth. They needed Klaw's powers to open a portal to allow the army to pass through. Klaw agreed, having been promised a ruling position in the new government.
(Ka-Zar II#14) - Hearing that Ka-Zar had returned to London, Klaw, aboard his airship, prepared to attack him. He sent a sound-panther through the window, and Zabu, the saber-toothed tiger, attacked it until it faded away. Ka-Zar leaped at Klaw, who tried to kill the hero with a blast, but Ka-Zar's Vibranium belt protected him and Klaw fled. They continued their battle in the Imperial War Museum, where a stray blast from Klaw caused a hanging plane to crash, injuring reporter Tandy Snow. Ka-Zar broke Klaw's sonic horn, and Klaw fled, rescued by "Junior" (an alias for Shauran) aboard the airship.
(Ka-Zar II#15) - Klaw immediately repaired his claw and created a monstrous sound-bird to attack Ka-Zar, though the bird was soon defeated. After traveling to the Savage Land, Klaw fired his powers on a large mountain of Vibranium, allowing the invasion to come through. The Sheenarians immediately started killing Savage Land natives and enslaving others.
(Ka-Zar II#16) - Klaw helped confront Ka-Zar and his allies Tandy Snow, Kirk Marsten, Bernard Kloss, and Tongah. Ka-Zar and Zabu managed to escape while Klaw was bantering with Saxtur, the new alien leader (as Traikar had been killed in battle). Klaw lorded over his prisoners, stating that he would do anything for power. Ka-Zar attacked anew and freed the prisoners. Threatening to slit Klaw's throat, he forced the villain to open the portal again, then forced him to enter the other dimension with him and his allies, as well as Saxtur and another.
(Ka-Zar II#17) - Klaw and the others watched as the alien Quarlians, aboard flying sharks, attacked all present, but Klaw chose to flee with Saxtur.
(Ka-Zar II#18) - Klaw returned with Saxtur to his home headquarters, and the aliens expressed determination to see the outworlders, except Klaw, to be put to death.
(Ka-Zar II#19) - Klaw waited impatiently as the Sheenarians worked to build new dimensional bridges that would allow them to return to Earth.
(Ka-Zar II#20) - Klaw learned from the Sheenarians how to transport himself home. He knocked out the guard with his sonic powers and moved back to Earth, determined to pursue lucrative crime again.
(Fantastic Four I#187 (fb)) - Klaw appeared back on Earth in Florida, where he saw Man-Thing dropping the powerful Molecule Man's wand. Klaw picked it up, and Molecule Man tried to possess him, but was unable to do so, so Klaw took the wand back to Manhattan and hypnotized a vagrant into taking the wand, allowing Molecule Man to possess the vagrant.
(Fantastic Four I#186) - Klaw and Molecule Man attacked the Baxter Building, knocking out Fantastic Four ally, Impossible Man.
(Fantastic Four I#187) - Klaw sought a way to procure a permanent body for Molecule Man, and attacked Thing with a Thing sound-construct until Molecule Man defeated the hero. Klaw modified a machine of Mister Fantastic, the Psi-Amplifier, to aid his ally, but they were attacked by Human Torch, who Molecule Man defeated, and Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic, who Klaw quickly subdued. A furious Impossible Man created a construct to battle Klaw's construct, and the ensuing explosion when the constructs met, knocked Klaw out.
(Fantastic Four I#188) - While the Fantastic Four battled Molecule Man, Klaw was left unconscious on the floor.
(Marvel Fanfare I#14) - Klaw teamed with the Mad Thinker in a plot to take down the Fantastic Four. They waited for Vision to exit mansion, then Klaw created sound constructs of Scarlet Witch and the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four constructs attacked Vision and the Scarlet Witch construct, knocking Vision out and seemingly kidnapped Scarlet Witch. Mad Thinker programmed Vision to attack Fantastic Four, though Klaw disapproved of this plan. Vision did so, defeating the Fantastic Four, but Mad Thinker placed the Fantastic Four in a deathtrap rather than letting Klaw kill them. Vision shook off his programming, though, and freed the Fantastic Four, who attacked Klaw and Mad Thinker in the Baxter Building. Klaw sent sound blasts everywhere until he was restrained by Mr. Fantastic and Thing smashed his sonic claw.
(Black Panther I#14-15) - When Klaw noticed his’ powers dwindling, he set up a plot to energize himself. Allowing himself to be mugged by the Thunderbolts gang in Central Park, Klaw fell into a coma when a bullet passed through him, and his form was picked up by Black Panther and moved to a shipyard, where he planned to take Klaw back to Wakanda. Klaw's sonic claw, however, was stolen by gang members Levon and Jackie, and Klaw used his sonics to hypnotize Jackie into leading the Thunderbolts gang into attacking the shipyard. Jackie fired the sonic claw at Klaw, which re-energized him back to full power. Klaw battled Black Panther and the Avengers, though Klaw's energy was building towards him becoming a sonic bomb. Black Panther managed to turn Klaw's energies in on himself, and Klaw exploded into the river.
(Marvel Two-In-One#57) - Held in Project: PEGASUS, Klaw's sonic claw lay inert until Solarr, seeking to escape, tossed the claw against the wall, the vibration allowing Klaw's corporeal form to return, though Klaw's memories were still of drifting underwater. Klaw and Solarr hijacked a sky-car and moved to escape, briefly battling Quasar, who retreated. Klaw blasted Thing off the car-track, and Thing derailed them in return. Klaw and Solarr battled Quasar, Giant-Man (Foster), and Quasar, and Klaw's constructs were shoddy as he was still not up to full power. Klaw absorbed Thing's blows and turned them back on Thing, then knocked out the other heroes with a sonic pulse.
(Marvel Two-In-One#58) - When Aquarian approached, Klaw's form dissipated back into his sonic claw. Project: PEGASUS was then partially destroyed.
(Marvel Two-In-One Annual#6 (fb)) - A cleaning woman found Klaw's claw, inadvertently restoring him, and he fled. Klaw set up a mining operation on a Native American reservation. When some natives protested and entered the mines, where they saw Klaw's complex equipment, Klaw fired a sound blast at Jason and Ward Strongbow, knocking them into a uranium radiation machine and unintentionally granting them powers. Taking the ore he had and taking Ward as a hostage, he then took his men to the Savage Land for the Vibranium he needed.
(Marvel Two-In-One Annual#6) - Klaw had his men capture some dinosaurs and cage them, just in case some heroes attacked. They dug for Vibranium, and Klaw was shocked to see Thing attack.

Despite Klaw's efforts, Thing soon knocked Klaw unconscious.
(Dazzler#9) - Klaw was returned to Project: PEGASUS and placed in a sound-proof Vibranium cell. When Quasar gave Dazzler a tour of the facility, Klaw typed into his computer screen (his sole means of contact with the guards) that she shouldn't trust the Project, laying seeds of doubt in her. Later, Dazzler walked by while technicians were pelting him with harmless sono-probes. Klaw made Dazzler believe he was being tortured however, and she used her powers to stop the guards, inadvertently freeing Klaw. He hit her with sonic energy, then successfully withstood Quasar's attempts to stop him, felling the hero and moving to kill him. Dazzler attacked him, though Klaw offered to let her go free, and tried using her powers of changing sound into light to defeat Klaw unsuccessfully. He then turned his powers on her and she began absorbing his sound form, unable to stop until his form was gone, leaving only his sonic claw behind.

(Secret Wars I#6 (fb) - BTS) - Klaw, as energy, was absorbed into Galactus' ship and remained there, unable to go back to corporeal form. Galactus called his ship to Battleworld, where he had been stranded with dozens of heroes and villains by the Beyonder.
(Secret Wars I#6) - Doctor Doom entered the ship and sensed Klaw's energy. He helped Klaw achieve his solid form again, but Klaw was raving mad, continually repeating words he'd heard and rhyming nonsensically. Still, Klaw agreed to serve Doom, and took instructions back to Doom's other minions, including Absorbing Man, Bulldozer, Doctor Octopus, Enchantress, Lizard, Molecule Man, Piledriver, Thunderball, Titania, Ultron, Volcana, and Wrecker.

Doom then seemingly destroyed all the heroes.
(Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars#4) - On Battleworld, as Dr. Doom battled the heroes, wielding the powers of the Beyonder, Klaw echoed madly. Deadpool fought him solo and ended up releasing the essence of the Beyonder, who had been hiding within Klaw. Soon Dr. Doom was defeated and the heroes returned to Earth. (see comments)
(Secret Wars I#12) - Under the influence of the Beyonder, Klaw told Doom how the heroes had survived, and convinced Doom to transfer some of his godlike power to Klaw so he could defeat the heroes. Klaw turned on the assembled Avengers (Captain America, Captain Marvel (Rambeau), Hawkeye, Iron Man (Rhodes), She-Hulk, Wasp), Fantastic Four (Human Torch, Mister Fantastic, Thing), X-Men (Colossus, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Professor X, Rogue, Storm, Wolverine), Hulk, Magneto, Spider-Man, and Spider-Woman with dozens of multi-colored sound constructs until Captain America fought his way through and knocked Klaw aside. The Beyonder then further weakened Doom's powers by continually resurrecting Captain America after Doom slew him. The Beyonder finally reclaimed his full power, releasing Klaw from his influence. Klaw and Doom disappeared in an energy blast.

Klaw used a sonic pulse to start the engines of all equipment in a nearby construction site, helping to overwhelm the heroes' defenses. Then he and Hydro-Man burst through the wall of the Baxter Building. Klaw fired a blast at Ms. Marvel before Invisible Woman held him in a forcefield, but he later escaped with Titania's help.

Klaw threatened the lives of Alicia Masters (secretly Lyja Lazerfist) and Franklin Richards, who used a mind-blast to knock Klaw aside. The heroes gathered together and Invisible Woman used a forcefield to repel all of the villains, so the Frightful Four fled back to their headquarters. The villains agreed to work harder at teamwork. Meeting again later, they were shocked when the Fantastic Four attacked them. Klaw fired on Mister Fantastic, who knocked Klaw aside with a set of Vibranium knuckles. Soon, Aron the Watcher and Dragon Man arrived, having been contacted by Wizard for aid.

He knocked Molecule Man out and tossed Volcana through a window, shocked when she returned to fight him in stone form. Volcana defeated a sound-warrior, so Klaw wrapped her in a ball of cohesive sound, which would collect mass from sound until it killed her, but AIM had him remove it, now wanting Volcana alive. Klaw fought the ashen Volcana and Molecule Man, his powers restored, even escaping from a vacuum, which Molecule Man created, by using the sound from inside his body. Molecule Man destroyed Klaw's sonic horn, so Klaw hit them with a mighty blast of sound from his body, knocking them both out. Now free from A.I.M.'s control, Klaw went his own way.

(Fantastic Four Unlimited#1) - Hearing that his men had failed, Klaw furiously turned his sonic claw on them, killing at least one. Klaw led his men to battle, and created a group of sound-condor, gorilla, and panther, calling them "Sonimals", to keep Human Torch, Invisible Woman, and Thing busy. Black Panther placed an attractor device on Klaw's back, and Mr. Fantastic fired a sonic disruption cannon at Klaw, causing his sonic claw to go wild, creating dozens of sound creatures, causing Klaw immense pain and leaving him begging for death as his own energy rushed out of him. Black Panther rushed Klaw into the Vibranium mound, and it absorbed the intense vibrations, easing Klaw's pain and dissipating the sound-constructs. Klaw tried to attack Black Panther anew, but the hero had the villain arrested.
(Alpha Flight I#121) - Alongside dozens of villains, Klaw attended an auction for the powerful bodies of Silver and Auric held by the Chess Set.

(Avengers West Coast#94) - After the West Coast Avengers invaded Demonica, the other Pacific Overloads defeated them, and Klaw held the heroes in sonic restraints.

(Avengers West Coast#95) - Klaw was caught up in a complicated battle between the Avengers, the Pacific Overlords, and Raksasa's demons. Later, Demonicus prepared to sacrifice Mockingbird to Raksasa, causing Klaw and Zvezda to question their loyalty to him, not wanting a demon for their master. They turned on Demonicus and began aiding the Avengers in fighting. Klaw turned his attack on Raksasa until his sonic claw was taken over by the Overlords, causing his blasts to run wild.

Huntara left on her own, Paibok and Devos captured the Fantastic Four and returned to space. Klaw discovered the monstrous form of Ms. Marvel in stasis and put together a plan.
(Fantastic Four Unlimited#5) - Weeks later, Klaw formed a giant sound-gorilla to distract the Fantastic Four (sans Mister Fantastic with new ally, Ant-Man (Lang)) while he liberated Ms. Marvel from stasis. As the two escaped, they were pulled aboard the Wizard's ship. Wizard proposed an alliance and after some debate, Klaw agreed to acknowledge Wizard as leader of a new Frightful Four. Soon they were joined by the Red Ghost, who Klaw briefly contended with, then the Four each drew a hero's name at random to attack, Klaw drawing Ant-Man. He attacked Ant-Man at the Baxter Building and used his control over his body to match the hero's diminutive size, then fooled Ant-Man by creating several ants, of red and black shades, to attack the hero.

Psi-Lord (the adult Franklin Richards) attacked, and Klaw fought back by crating high-frequency sonics, giving the heroes vertigo. He knocked the Inhuman Devlor through a window, then created a sound-ox to fight the fledgling heroes. Vibraxas used his vibratory powers to disrupt Klaw's internal harmonics and Klaw moved to retreat, but Black Panther arrived and defeated Klaw, who was soon arrested by Code: Blue.

The Masters were temporarily stymied when Techno threatened them with offensive weapons, so Crimson Cowl teleported her team away.
(Cable II#54 (fb) - BTS) - Klaw allied with Black Panther's cousin, Joshua Itobo, who sought to exploit Wakanda's Vibranium for his own reasons. Itobo smuggled Klaw into Wakanda.

(Cable II#54) - Klaw threatened Itobo that it was time to act or be killed. He lost patience with waiting for quiet entry into the Vibranium laboratories and lashed out at Itobo, striking him deaf. Klaw descended into the Vibranium mound, striking down all who got in his way, but he was soon attacked by Cable, who was visiting Wakanda. The two fought, Klaw immune to Cable's telepathy, until Black Panther attacked, holding Klaw off with Vibranium knuckles.

Klaw held back until he leaped at Songbird, draining her sonic energy until she pushed him away with a sonic backlash, then started draining Klaw's energy. But when Songbird was distracted, Klaw blasted all the heroes, who were grouped together, with a mighty blast that defeated them all, brashly proving to Crimson Cowl his value on her team. He then kept the heroes in sound constructs, prepared to kill them, but Dreadknight (secretly Hawkeye) attacked, allowing the heroes to escape. Rather than fight more, Cowl ordered Klaw to transport all the Masters away in a sound construct, and he again pointed out his invaluable worth to the team.

White Wolf revealed that he was the adopted son of T'Chaka, and that he wanted Klaw to attack Black Panther, looking out for White Wolf's best interests of Wakanda. Klaw agreed, and traveled with White Wolf to Libya, where he propelled himself as a sonic missile to down a United States ship, the Roussos, allowing Black Panther to take the blame.
(Black Panther III#28) - Eager to kill Black Panther, Klaw had a waiter drug White Wolf and then flew toward Lemuria, where he downed Ghaur, the Lemurian leader, then used his powers to mimic Ghaur's voice, ordering a Lemurian missile launch on Wakanda. He then rushed for New York to attack Black Panther directly. He found Black Panther there and attacked him with a large sound-train, dulling the sound in the area so that Black Panther could not call out for aid or hear his communication device alert him to Wakanda's troubles.
(Black Panther III#29) - Since Black Panther's costume had a Vibranium weave, Klaw couldn't harm him directly, and the costume's Antarctic Vibranium claws made Klaw become incohesive when hit with them. Klaw tried to smash Black Panther with the train, then with a sound-baseball team. Black Panther hit Klaw's corporeal form with his claws, so Klaw quickly transformed himself into energy and retreated. After Black Panther allied with Sub-Mariner, Klaw used his energy form to cover itself in a massive amount of water, dispersing his corporeal form throughout the watery giant and thus immunizing himself from Black Panther's claws, and he renewed his attack on Black Panther, but Black Panther used a Vibranium blade overlaid with Antarctic Vibranium and specifically keyed into Klaw's resonant operating frequency, dispersing the water and getting back to Klaw's corporeal form. Black Panther's blade blocked Klaw's frequency, rendering Klaw blind, and then the hero stabbed Klaw repeatedly, causing him to lose more and more cohesion. Klaw was believed dead.

He still promised that he would seek a solution to the problem. Klaw told Batroc and Cannibal a made-up story about how he killed T'Chaka at a global economic conference as a hired assassin and almost killed his son T'Challa as well, who cost him his arm when he shot him several times.

Hearing an explosion nearby he blamed Radioactive Man at first, but when it turned out it wasn't him Klaw transferred his mind into the Wakandan mainframe and hacked into the security feed to learn the US government had sent an army of Deathloks in "support" of Wakanda. Trying to take command of the Wakandan defense system Klaw ordered Igor to take down the whole nation if he didn't hear from him within 15 minutes because Klaw didn't want to conquer the nation only for the Americans to take control over it. Failing to take control over the system Klaw ordered Igor to destroy Wakanda immediately, but Igor got distracted by T'Challa's sister Shuri, who he was hunting through the Great Mound's mine. Returning to the real world the Dora Milaje, S'Yan and Ramonda had fled. When Klaw tried to snipe them he was stopped by Black Panther (T'Challa). Klaw's shot accidentally hit the plane of T'Challa's cousin T'Shan, who was on his way back to Wakanda with Igor's wife (actually Cannibal possessing her). Black Panther wrapped Klaw in a blanket, ripped off his mechanical arm, which only made him more dangerous. Klaw's arm kept shooting, but after shooting Black Panther through the shoulder with an eyeblast he got stabbed through the chest by the Wakandan monarch. Batroc asked for medical attention for himself and Klaw while Black Panther told the Deathloks to leave his country because he didn't ask for the US' help against Klaw and his mercenary army and he didn't need them anyway.

Klaw was kept inside his prosthesis in a case carried by Wizard.

The heroes were all downed as Klaw ensured Wizard of his loyalty, then Klaw generated a sonic wall to repel the attack of the Thing, who was surprisingly not harmed. Thing burst through the wall and discorporated Klaw with a punch, revealing he'd had Vibranium ear plugs in his ears. The Frightful Five were later defeated.
(Fall of the Hulks: Alpha#1 (fb) - BTS) - Though unaware of it, Klaw has been resurrected several times over the years due to the machinations of the members of the Intel (Dr. Doom, Leader, Mad Thinker, Red Ghost, Wizard).

(She-Hulks#3 (fb) - BTS) - After the dissolution of the Frightful Four, Klaw went with the Mad Thinker to Switzerland, where he hoped to have his powers taken away so he could be normal again.
(She-Hulks#3) - Just as the Mad Thinker was ready to transfer Klaw's powers into a giant robot called Byte, the She-Hulks (Jennifer Walters and Lyra) attacked. Klaw's powers went out of control, causing an avalanche to crash over the building.

(Klaws of the Panther#3 (fb) - BTS) - Hearing about the destruction of all Wakandan Vibranium, Klaw came up with a master plan to blanket the world with a sustained sonic attack (by disrupting the world's satellites) that would leave everyone in his control. He boarded AIM's space station, killing the crew, and trapping the daughter of AIM's chief scientist there. Klaw subjected the girl to experiments that would turn her into a Multiframe Universal Sonic Integration Codec, or MUSIC, and used her as leverage in forcing the chief scientist to mobilize AIM into serving Klaw and helping him gather enough Savage Land Vibranium to put his scream project into effect.
(Klaws of the Panther#2) - Klaw fired a sonic blast at the heroes, taunting Shuri with the murder of her father, T'Chaka. She soon turned a herd of dinosaurs against him, but he quickly defeated them and fled to the ship. As he flew away, he fired a sonic blast at a volcano, setting it off, and leaving the heroes, including the newly arrived Storm, to stop it. As the AIM agents kept gathering the Savage Land Vibranium, Klaw later found Wolverine and Black Panther in Madripoor, where they were interrogating one AIM agent that Klaw killed. Shuri tossed some Vibranium on Klaw's prosthesis, making it unravel, but she hesitated to kill him while he was weak. He collected himself, warned them of the Scream, and vowed to kill everyone close to Shuri before fleeing.
(Klaws of the Panther#3) - Frustrated by the low resources of Savage Land Vibranium being procured, Klaw reminded AIM of his deal with them, and promised to keep his commitment with MUSIC once all was said and done. Klaw, revealing that he knew of the chief scientist's holding SLV back from him, put his plan ahead of schedule, and told the scientist he would have to convince MUSIC to serve Klaw. When Spider-Man and Black Panther attacked, Klaw traded blows with the web-spinner while Black Panther made her way to the space station with the chief scientist, but they were too late to stop its launching.
(Klaws of the Panther#4) - Choosing to leave Spider-Man alive, so he'd have powerful slaves once he ruled the world, Klaw rushed off after the space station launch. He launched several missiles in preparation for his final conquest and grew furious when MUSIC begged for release and questioned his motives and humanity. Klaw lashed out, saying he chose to be what he is and that he wanted to ascend to a new world where he was the supreme being, and she said she would love to share this with a man but not a monster. Klaw chided MUSIC for trying to change him, then confessed his plans to use her goddess-like nature to reshape the world and corrupt all the wrongs of mankind. Just before the weapon was finalized, Black Panther and Black Widow attacked, but the scream still hit the entire planet with a massive sonic attack and began driving the world mad. Klaw was stabbed by Black Panther, but still fired on the Black Widow to protect MUSIC, firing sonic blasts and sound-constructed animals at them while drawing upon MUSIC's powers to strengthen his own. While Shuri held a blade to MUSIC's throat, debating whether to kill her, Klaw promised to destroy her and Wakanda and then create another MUSIC anyway. In the end, Shuri couldn't follow through and Klaw taunted her. MUSIC, however, was moved by her compassion and she knocked Klaw into space, where he dissipating, saying she'd have gone with him if he'd only had compassion.

The sound-bird Ka-Zar fought in Ka-Zar II#15 was dubbed the Hellbird on the cover.
In the first six issues of the new Black Panther series, by Reginald Hudlin, a version of Klaw appears that is irreconcilable with this Klaw. The Hudlin Klaw grew up in South Africa, was a Belgian assassin, killed T'Chaka and many others at a United Nations meeting, had a technological hand put in place of his shattered arm, and recruited a team of villains (who also had nothing to do with their counterparts) in order to invade Wakanda.
After years of contemplating how to do it I added
the first Hudlin Black Panther arc to Klaw's profile.
--Markus Raymond
In Everett K. Ross' narration of Klaw's background in Black Panther III#5, he describes Klaw as a geologist who invaded Wakanda to track the Vibranium meteor there. I'm going with the original version for this profile.
At the time Thunderbolts I#3 was published Don
Fortunato was on the rise in the New Yorker underworld and he worked
together with Hydra, like Black Widow surmised. The Arms Merchant's
deal was probably with him.
--Markus Raymond
Klaw has entries in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe I#6, Deluxe Edition#7, Master Edition and All-New OHotMU Update#3.
While Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars was definitely retroactive continuity, this could potentially still be canon. Deadpool uses the Beyonder's energy to make everyone forget his involvement at the end.
Black Panther used one of Klaw's sonic horns to repel a symbiote invasion in King in Black: Black Panther#1 (April, 2021).
In Legends of Black Panther I#1 (by Tochi Onybeuchi and Setor Fiadzigbey), the origin of Black Panther is retold once again, this time portraying Klaue as a delegate from the United Nations the first time he entered Wakanda. Klaue had obtained a Kimoyo bracelet, which he revealed after T'Chaka refused to sign over mining rights for Vibranium. Klaue activated a weapon (somewhat like his sonic horn) and fired it at T'Challa, but T'Chaka leapt in the way and was hit, killing him. Zuri then chopped off Klaue's arm. Klaue blasted Zuri away, then escaped. Then in #4, Klaw (human form with his sonic horn) attacked Wakanda with sound constructs at the same time the Fantastic Four first visited the country, fighting Black Panther and Okoye on the Vibranium Mound before Klaw was lost in an explosion, though his hand later emerged.
The two headed barbarians from Originators, Coates does not name them, but Black Panther: Protectors of Wakanda: A History and Training Manual of the Dora Milaje from the Marvel Universe (2022) by Karama Horne says who are called Ibeji, the inspiration is certainly the twin orisha of the same name, they also name the underwater inhabitants as Children of Olokun, Olokun is an orisha of the waters and says that Vanya descends from the gorilla god of the Jabari (Ghekre) and that Simbi descends of Set.
