Ricky Myers was the biological son of Sandy Verdugo and Leonard Samson and the adopted son of Travis Myers. Ricky was the target of a prolonged scheme perpetuated by The Leader, who faked Ricky's death in Chicago, Illinois during one of the Hulk's rampages. As predicted, the Hulk was framed for murder and alter ego Bruce Banner was living life as a fugitive on the run.
Sandra Vergugo, who had been operating as an undead secret agent for Home Base, discovered the Leader's ruse, and tried to extricate her son from the Leader's hideout. The Leader bombed the hideout however, killing both Sandra and Ricky for good this time.
