The weapon's coma-inducing effect allowed Eric to send his victims into a death-like state, their life signs all but imperceptible. With his opponents off guard, the Grim Reaper overwhelmed them with the power of his scythe. Eric broke into Avengers Mansion shortly before T'Challa was due to arrive and launched a surprise attack on those present - Goliath, Wasp and Hawkeye. ![]() Seizing the opportunity, the Reaper concocted a plan to kill the Avengers and frame their newest member for the act. While preparing to strike against the Avengers, the Grim Reaper intercepted a radio broadcast from Captain America to the team, nominating the Wakandan hero T'Challa, the Black Panther, as his replacement in the team's ranks. Ultron provided Eric Williams with the equipment he needed to craft a costumed identity as the Grim Reaper, the specter of death haunting the Avengers. He also somehow made contact with the evil robot Ultron-5, who shared his hatred of the Avengers.

He tortured small animals from a young age, and often tried to get Simon to join him. Firstborn son of the abusive industrialist Sanford Williams, Eric and his little brother Simon were often subjected to their father's brand of "tough love.” While Simon retreated into books and study as an escape, Eric grew up violent and cruel.
