Super-Axis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Super-Axis was a fictional group of supervillains in Marvel Comics' original Invaders series.

During World War II, the Japanese agent called Lady Lotus used her hypnotic powers to assemble a group of Axis agents with super-powers, and sent them against the Invaders, a team of American superheroes whom Lady Lotus felt were inconvenient. The Members of the group included Master Man, Warrior Woman, the first Baron Blood and U-Man. Later Lady Lotus also hypnotized the Human Torch, and although he was not identified as a member of the group, he fought the Invaders along side them. Eventually, the Torch broke free, and Lady Lotus abandoned the group and fled to safety. The members of the Super-Axis found themselves confused, and dispersed. Years later, U-Man woud kidnap and rape Lady Lotus as punishment for controlling him in this way, resulting in the birth of Nia Noble, who would become an ally of a later incarnation of the Invaders.

[edit] Trivia

It is possible that the Super-Axis was intended as a villainous version of the Justice League of America; The members were apparently chosen for their powers' similarity to DC Comics characters (Master Man as Superman, Warrior Woman as Wonder Woman, U-Man as Aquaman, Baron Blood as Batman).^{[citation needed]}
