Biography
Ryder’s story began years ago when Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic brainwashed some Skrulls into thinking they were earth born cows. Unfortunately those cows ended up on a meat farm and were slaughtered and sold just like the cows they impersonated. Ryder was one of the people to eat this “Skrull cow meat” and as a result found his biology radically altered on a molecular level by the alien flesh. As if drawn together all those altered banded together to hunt down the Skrulls on earth and kill them. By the time of the “secret Invasion” he was joined by Triathlon who had become the new 3D Man. After “Secret Invasion” they split and he returns to hunting down skrulls.
Here they realize that their genes have now become completely Skrull. They also stop the senseless Skrull killings as they learn of Earth born Skrulls who are not a threat to Earth’s population.
