HistoryText
| - Early Years
Samuel Sterns is a cellular biologist and Grayburn College professor who was finding a cure for Bruce Banner. When he was affected by Banner's blood on his head's open wound, his mind suffered a rapid mutation, greatly increasing his mental abilities, later turning him into the Gamma-powered super-villain known as the Leader.The Leader
Sterns' mutation went wild, and his brain power incremented exponentially, increasing his mutation and enlarging his cranium even more, driving him more insane. Abandoning his true human name, Sterns instead began to refer to himself as the Leader. Over the course of a year, he used his heightened intellect to become a criminal mastermind, and he developed an extensive spy ring with plans of taking control of the United States Government.
His efforts soon earned him the attention of his former ally Bruce Banner, also known as the Incredible Hulk, clashing with him on numerous occasions. He was later captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. several times after his defeats but was freed by HYDRA and sent to work with their special unit division known as the Intelligencia to continue his research into creating gamma-powered soldiers and battle S.H.I.E.L.D., Avengers, and many other superheroes and supervillains who would oppose their plans of world domination.Intelligencia
Eventually the Intelligencia became an independent but a secret criminal semi-organization months after the Ultimate War has finally ended. At some point, the Leader begins to recruit other supervillains of genius intellect in order to combat their foes. Together they plan to restore the information of the Library of Alexandria by stealing the info from various sources across the world.Attempted Assassination
At one point, he was attempted to be assassinated by the mercenary Taskmaster while he was inside a classified and abandoned A.I.M. laboratory, collecting various information about the expanded history of the terrorist organization. He was attacked by the mercenary but failed after he was shot by the superweapon he was secretly holding. Perfect Soldiers
Taskmaster manages to escape the scene, leaving a trail of blood inside the area of the lab. Sterns collected the samples of his blood and examined it, with the conclusion of thinking it might be usable into creating a new army of super-soldiers for Hydra, capable of copying the fighting moves of their opponents.
After revealing that Taskmaster was a former A.I.M. agent turned S.H.I.E.L.D., Samuel planned a tactic that would cause for A.I.M. to turn on S.H.I.E.L.D. once again. He decided to create a serum from Taskmaster's blood that he used for himself so he can gain his powers and abilities of combat mimicry as well.The Hitman

He injected the new serum on himself and began training before he became a fully trained combatant. Eventually he had created a new identity by the name of "Burt Kenyon," where he used advanced technology to craft a new face that he used with the Photostatic Veil, which is also known as a Nano Mask, in order to trick his foes into thinking that this mercenary is a "newcomer."
Finally, he used his newly-gained skills to become the newest highly-skilled mercenary known as the '''[[w:c:marvel:Hitman
