Dr. Ulysses

Age: Unknown

Occupation: Physics professor

Workplace: Prestara University

Family: 7 year old son, Frank/Frankie

Details:

Dr. Ulysses is a character first introduced in Xavier's Anecdotes story "A Special Vacation" and later portrayed in "Voyage of the Outcast", Xavier's branch of "Prologue to Tomorrow".

Anecdotes Story:

In the Anecdotes story, his son Frankie has an essay assignment to complete over summer vacation. When Ulysses asks his son what he wants to be when he grows up, Frankie declares that he wants to be a Deepspace Hunter. Ulysses is a little surprised but says that he knows an old friend who is Deepspace Hunter and that he could introduce Frankie to him.

"I have a friend who's a Deepspace Hunter. In fact, he's the best of the best. Do you want to go to his place and have him teach you how to become one?"

Ulysses takes Frankie to stay with Xavier for a while so that he can learn more about Deepspace Hunters for his essay.

On the last day of summer vacation, Ulysses comes to pick up Frankie and reads his completed essay. After he finished reading it, he asks Xavier "Did you cast a spell on my son?".

Frankie goes on to sing Xavier's praises. But when he says he can't tell him just how amazing Xavier really is because "it's a secret between me and Xavier", Ulysses doesn't know how to react. The story concludes with the following thoughts from Ulysses:

"He doesn't know what kind of secret son agreed to keep for Xavier, but... Whatever. It's not on Frank. After all, when Ulysses was younger, he was also "fooled" by Xavier"

"Voyage of the Outcast":

In "Voyage of the Outcast", Dr. Ulysses is introduced as a physics professor at Prestara University. He's known for teaching tough classes and is described as the strictest professor at the university. Though he's strict in class, an unnamed student says he's pretty chill on the basketball courts once classes are over.

Dr. Ulysses was formerly an assistant professor but was promoted to associate professor two years ago (in 2046). He is among the few researchers who has access to the campus research center.

Interesting Facts:

During his stay, Frankie mentions to Xavier that Ulysses told him not to eat super spicy food.
