-Ulik, mightiest of the Rock Trolls, is a little-known Thor baddie, used in the old days just to give him someone he could REALLY slug it out with, and give Jack Kirby the opportunity to draw someone with two toes. He was a rock-hard bad-ass and nigh-unstoppable, but was limited by his stupidity, and the depth of Thor's villains roster in Asgardian Cosmology, so he never really went further. He's the minion of Geirrodur, the King of the Rock Trolls, and is usually sent against Thor in 1960s stories- he doesn't appear so often later. He is eventually killed in a 1991 storyline when Captain America throws a child's hammer made of iron (which hurts Trolls) into his mouth, but resurrects with the rest of Asgard following Ragnarok. Here, he's just a random brawler, one time replacing Thor during Fear Itself when the Odinson was temporarily-deceased.
-At PL 12, Ulik's a hardcore strongman, but still a pretty shoddy fighter overall, so he does LOTS of All-Out Attacking. He's as strong as Thor but worse at fighting, making him one of the stronger guys in the Marvel Universe. Ideal for challenging Thor one-on-one, but not one for plotting or scheming.
