Doctor Omega

Real Name: Albrecht Urkell
Background: A brilliant German scientist and inventor, Albrecht Urkell was fascinated by weapons technology and rose to power under the Nazi regime after devising many fearsome implements of destruction for the Third Reich, including the V-series of ballistic rockets.
In a battle with commando Maximilian Hellstrom, Urkell's face was destroyed with acid, and he donned a mask to hide his injuries. He took the name Doktor Omega to show his commitment to destruction.
After the war, he sought his own power, and over the decades was the one of the world's leading menaces, stopped time and again by superheroes of the Silver Age and later.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, his personal army took possession of coastal Siberia, forming the so-called Free Republic of Transasia.
Several years later, Omega was accidentally killed by the superhero Rebel. Later, he appeared to rise from the dead and launch an invasion of the Pacific nation of Isola, but then was exposed as an impostor.
Group Affiliation: Former head of the Reich Terror Weapons group; President-for-Life of the Republic of Transasia.
Status: Deceased
Skills: Omega was a genius-level technologist. He excelled in the design of rockets and other weaponry.
Technology: In the 1940s, Omega's face was scarred by acid in a duel with Maximilian Hellstrom, and he wore a mask to hide his injuries. Later in life, Omega wore a powered battlesuit that helped extend his lifespan and enhanced his physique.
