Biography
 |
Simon was head of Williams Innovations. However, the company was overshadowed by Stark Industries and began to fail. He confronted Tony Stark who simply brushed him off then stated he was buying out his company.
He met up with his brother Eric, then known as the Grim Reaper and working for HYDRA. Eric convinced him to go to A.I.M. to get revenge on Stark. MODOC turned him into a being of pure ionic energy and dubbed Wonder Man.
He then attacked Stark, who was in his armor as Iron Man, and his teammate Ant-Man. Ant-Man tried to talk to him, but Iron Man attacked him. Fellow Avengers Captain America, Thor, and Wasp showed up to help the two. Iron Man offered to return him to normal in Stark Tower but Wonder Man refused and was defeated. Afterwards, Stark revealed that he bought out his company knowing it was failing so that Simon could work for him.
Later, he was approached by Baron Zemo, Enchantress, and Executioner to join the Masters of Evil. He joined and helped to recruit Abomination.
Once formed, the Masters of Evil attacked and took over the Avengers Mansion capturing the Avengers there. Ant-Man, who evaded capture, found Wonder Man and asked why he was doing this reasoning he was a good man. He felt he didn't have a choice. He was defeated along with the team.
Later, the Masters of Evil used Asgardian Norn Stones luring the Avengers to various locations across the planet. Wonder Man fought Black Panther in a cemetery when the Avengers and Masters of Evil were scattered across the Nine Worlds of Asgard. He ran when the two were confronted by bodiless spirits.
Afterwards, Enchantress began seeking revenge on the other members of the Masters of Evil, seemingly to kill several. Baron Zemo, Abomination, and Wonder Man went to the Avengers Mansion seeking help. They fought Enchantress but Zemo used a Norn Stone in attempt to stop her and the Avengers. Wonder Man grabbed the stone and seemingly sacrificed himself to destroy it.
