History: Wulf Sternhammer was a viking warrior back in the heyday of the Norse raiders. He encountered Johnny Alpha who had come back in time in pursuit of Max Bubba and his gang, a ruthless band of mutant killers. When Johnny saved his life, Wulf swore to repay him, and became his life long friend. Accidentally brought back to Johnny's own time, Wulf became his partner, one of the few "norms" to do the job of a Search / Destroy Agent. They worked together for several years, until one day Max Bubba broke out and came back for revenge. Catching the two unawares, he took them captive and staked them out to die in the desert heat. Wulf broke free and took out some of Bubba's gang before he was gunned down in a hail of bullets.
