It was then that he was approached by a woman named Elektra who served as the Kingpin's enforcer where she came to threaten Urich with her telling him to stop his investigation.

He took part in a news conference with Director Norman Osborn after a rogue Hulkbuster attack where he criticised the Dark Avengers role as it had caused more damage. Under the grounds of national security, Urich was escorted away from the news conference.
