to fall by the hand of count Natasha’s
as with most comic book characters
they’re often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have

13 which was expanded upon in 1965 s
tales of suspense number 67 1977 s
Avengers number 164 to the 166 and 1999
s Ironman annual of 1999 Luchino nefaria
developed a hatred for the Avengers way
back in 1965 as the leader of the
worldwide crime cartel known as the
maggia the regal count nefaria was
displeased at the way the world
superheroes kept disrupting the Maja’s
criminal operations as the counts
association with the crime organization
was a secret he decided that he was in a
unique position to stop the Avengers
nefarious to America and lured the
Avengers to his castle under the pretext
of a charity event once there he managed
to place the Avengers in a form of
suspended animation he then created
holographic duplicates of the heroes and
sent them out to threaten the leaders of
the world as such the nations of the
world declared the Avengers public
enemies it’s difficult as this is to
accept Captain America is a fugitive
from shield the heroes didn’t know this
when they were released from suspended
animation and left to nefarious castle
they immediately became the victims of
armed attacks from government forces
which they naturally fought back against
unfortunately this convinced any
doubters of their guilt and intentions
to take over the world these so-called
heroes have to be held responsible for
the destruction done to the city
realizing that Nefario was behind this
plot they returned to his castle once
again he managed to trap most of the
Avengers but fortunately teenager Rick
Jones and his pals were able to lend a
hand when the Avengers needed it most
The Avengers then made quick work of the
count the count was then deported but
unfortunately due to his status as a
foreign noble was not fully punished
that’s diplomatic immunity for you the
matcha crime family rules unit and our
presence in the new world is inevitable
count nefaria has no super power but was
able to tangle with the Avengers by
using his sinister inventions later in
1965 tales of suspense number 67
The Count created another new machine
that gave him the ability to enter into
and manipulate iron man’s dreams the
twist was that if he was able to kill
the armored Avenger in his dreams he
would also die in reality our man of
course survived and defeated nefaria in
1977 nefaria launched a plan to gain
legitimate superpowers of his own
enlisting the services of the scientist
who had helped Baron Zemo create the
super-powered Wonder Man nefaria gave
enhanced abilities to a trio of villains
he then absorbed those superpowers into
himself becoming a villain who was
almost unbeatable unfortunately the
process also caused ‘nope area to
rapidly eight turning him into an old
man in the span of just a few hours the
count survived but now he needed a
constant source of ionic energy to stay
alive and maintain his super powers
which had become even more formidable in
a 1999 encounter with Iron Man he almost
destroyed the superhero by tossing an O
liner and a mountain at him Ironman
defeated him but the count would
continue to prove himself a dangerous
foe with cunning that was equal to his
incredible strength countif arias powers
evolved quite a bit over the years
but fortunately Ironman and the other
Marvel superheroes were always on hand
to put a stop to his efforts at world
domination his nobleman status may have
granted him a degree of immunity but his
evil machinations have not yet given him
