Origin:  Ulik is a member of the Rock Trolls.  Over a millennium old, Ulik the strongest and fiercest of all the Trolls.  Virtually nothing is known of his ancestry, his early life, or how he got to be so much more powerful than his kinsmen.  Ulik first met Thor, mightiest warrior of neighboring Asgard, several years ago when he attempted to steal Thor's hammer for the Rock Trolls.  Although he gave Thor a hard-fought battle, the thunder god ultimately triumphed.  Ulik faced Thor on a subsequent occasion, again coming close to overpowering Thor, but not succeeding.  Ulik later led the trolls through an interdimensional tunnel to Earth in an invasion attempt which was repelled by Thor.   His failure, coupled with his attempt to usurp the rule of the troll kingdom, led the King of the Trolls, Geirrodur, to consign him to stoking the subterranean furnaces that heat the trolls kingdom.  Dissatisfied, Ulik eventually escaped and wandered deeper beneath Asgard's surface, finally discovering a lost tribe of trolls unknown to Geirrodur.  Ulik disposed of their leader and led this tribe through the interdimensional portal to Earth to again attempt to invade it.  Once again Thor fought in Earth's defense, vanquished the invaders, and sealed up their portal with molten rock.  Ulik's current whereabouts and activities are unknown.
