Henry Gyrich was an agent of the FBI. The FBI was searching to create super soldiers without being reliant on Nick Fury's monopoly on the Ultimates. Based on Ben Reilly's and Otto Octavius' work they created four clones of the vigilante Spider-Man, Tarantula, Kaine, Richard Parker and Jessica Drew, as well as a clone of Gwen Stacy mixed with a sample of the Carnage life-form called the "Stacy experiment". Every one of them escaped from custody when the Carnage/Gwen Stacy clone caused havoc in the intallations. When Peter Parker and his clones faced Otto Octavius in an abandoned OsCorp installation. Gyrich arrived with some agents in order to control the situation and possibly retrieved a unconscious Octavius.
