Ulysses Bloodstone

Ulysses Bloodstone appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe / Disney+ television special Werewolf by Night, voiced by Richard Dixon.

Ulysses Bloodstone first appeared in Marvel Presents #1 (Oct 1975) and was created by Len Wein, Marv Wolfman, and John Warner.

His long life allowed him to assemble a vast fortune, which he used to set up a series of outposts, fully staffed and equipped, in various corners of the world.

In his hunt for Ulluxy'l Kwan Tae Syn, he had become a mercenary, adventurer, and soldier-of-fortune, proficient with most of the world's weaponry.

[5] He embarked on a series of adventures with him that took them to the far corners of the globe, traveling to the Savage Land and Monster Island and fighting Mole People as well as Fin Fang Foom.

The life-sustaining gem fragment was surgically removed from his chest by one Conspirator, the surgeon Dr. Juden Bardham.

[14] The Hellfire Helix was later revealed to have resurrected itself, and it possessed the corpse of the first Baron Zemo, which disappeared down an inactive volcano in Japan.

[15] The Bloodstone restored the Punisher, who had been resurrected as a Frankenstein's monster-like entity derisively nicknamed "Franken-Castle," to normal after a damaging fight with Daken and Wolverine.

The Bloodstone also provided vast regenerative capabilities that enabled his rapid regeneration of injured or missing body tissue with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human.

Aside from his greatly enhanced healing, the Bloodgem rendered Bloodstone virtually immortal in the sense that he was immune to the effects of aging and to all known diseases.

Bloodstone's life was dependent upon the presence of the fragment and, as a result, he had ceased to require food, water, or air to survive.

He possessed a kind of invisible third eye on his forehead that allowed him to see human auras, which enabled him to see people even in total darkness, and the ability to travel mentally onto any one of the various astral planes of existence.

Bloodstone's greatly extended lifespan afforded him many lifetimes' worth of time to study virtually anything he wished to learn.

He carried a specially-designed sawed-off shotgun whose shells he could detonate mentally, as well as a stainless steel Bowie knife and .45 caliber semi-automatic handguns.

[17] In the alternate future of Earth X, in the afterlife Ulysses joins with dozens of other deceased heroes in attempt to stop the genocidal plans of Mephisto and Thanos.

Civil War: Battle Damage Report[20] suggests that Nextwave adventures actually happened, but due to mental conditions and drug treatments given to the main characters, they were in a constant delusional state, accounting for the weird memories Elsa displays of her father.
