Biography
The Golden Skull was a male human native to a reality designated as Earth-15061 in the Multiverse. His origins were largely unknown with many speculations on his identity.
Some believed him to be the son of an environmental activist who snapped and became a super-criminal with the son rebelling against his delinquent father by becoming everything he hated. Others claimed though that he was the nephew of the notorious Parnival Plunder and inherited his uncle's obsessions with material wealth as well as piracy. Another theory claimed that he was a descendant of Sir William Taurey, the traitor killed by Colonel Steven Rogers in the Revolutionary War. (U.S.Avengers v1 #2)
On this world, a tumultuous event occurred known as Zero Day where the Mad Titan Thanos came to Earth and half the world's superheroes. Ultimately, he was defeated but the devastation caused left the planet suffering through multiple disastrous events such as the Euro-Crash and the Climate Wars. This left the planet in a state of recovery with not much left to loot. It was in this time that the Golden Skull came to emerge where he became among the world's most dangerous people. Promising riches to his minions, he gathered his Jolly Jacks where they came to destroy anything to soothe the Golden Skull's ego and sell the spoils for fortune. (U.S.Avengers v1 #2)
After New York flooded, the Golden Skull led his pirate crew on a small craft to steal a cache of helium.
