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.

The Hitman
To be added. Super-Genius Intelligence: After his head was affected by Banner's blood, the Leader has gained superhuman mental acumen and a few superhuman abilities. He possesses enhanced intuition, pattern solving, information storage and retrieval, and logical and philosophical structuring. The potential of his intelligence is nearly unlimited.
