Ulysses is the name of three fictional characters in Marvel Comics. The first two are known members of the Pantheon while the third one is an Inhuman.
The first Pantheon version of Ulysses debuted in Incredible Hulk #408 and was created by Peter David.
The Walter Charles version of Pantheon first appeared in Incredible Hulk #379 and was created by Peter David and Sam Kieth.
The Inhuman version of Ulysses first appeared in Free Comic Book Day 2016 Avengers and was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Jim Cheung.
The original Ulysses was much older than Walter Charles, his successor. When Ulysses became annoyed at Agamemnon's illogical leadership decisions Agamemnon ordered fellow Pantheon member Jason to kill Ulysses. Jason refused and the task went to Achilles instead. Ulysses and his future successor Walter Charles went to save a young Nathan Taylor (aka Paris) hoping to get to him before the Watts riots of 1959 began. Up to that point Walter had always worked with his mentor Achilles but Agamemnon made a last minute switch to the orders ensuring that Ulysses would be too distracted by the riot to prevent himself from being shot by Achilles. Presumably Ulysses became a member of the Endless Knights like the rest of Agamemnon's deceased offspring but this has never been stated.
Achilles lied to the rest of the Pantheon and said that Ulysses wanted Walter to take his place in the event that anything happened to him. Walter then assumed the mantle of Ulysses as his own.
Ulysses seemed to have problems with several other members of the Pantheon. Paris hated him for letting his parents die in the Watts Riot. He and Hector often argued about Hector's homosexuality. Jason hated him for plucking out his eye with the handle of a mop. His predecessor thought he was incompetent.
