Count Nefaria (original) (raw)
Count Nefaria
Count Nefaria has always been a dangerous individual. As head of the Maggia Nefaria was a master strategist. He was a normal man who almost managed to turn the entire nation of America against the Avengers. Nefaria is supremely confident in himself and his abilities. Money and power have been in his family for generations and Nefaria is simply behaving the way he feels that he should. Now in addition to the benefits that birth granted him Nefaria has manufactured for himself a power that allows him to fight the entire team of Avengers. Power, intelligence, confidence. You would think nothing could stop this guy...well maybe except those stinking heroes. They always ruin the good time.
Avengers #13-The Avengers stop another of the Maggia's crimes. At an emergency meeting of the American division of the Maggia they discuss what they can do. When they fret what The Count will do when he hears the Electro-Ray signal flashes one of the people lays his hands upon the electro-disc. On the other side of the world Count Nefaria pushes a button and a three dimensional image of his American representative appears before him. The man knows he is in for "The Punishment", and starts to beg claiming he is loyal. Nefaria asks what good he is if he can't even get a simple fur heist done. The man again begs trying to tell Nefaria that nobody can stop the Avengers. Nefaria views it as a challenge. Nefaria pushes a button and cuts the man off from the Maggia with nobody to turn to. Wasp reads how Count Nefaria has plans to move his castle to America. Nefaria uses his companies to move his castle to the New Jersey palisades overlooking the Hudson River. The Count then opens his castle to the public with the proceeds going to charity. He invites the Avengers along saying they will be a big draw. Nefaria greets the Avengers himself. He assigns each of them quarters to "freshen up". While in their rooms Nefaria uses his Time Transcender Beam to freeze time for the Avengers. He makes three-dimensional versions of all of them. Nefaria then causes their images to appear before the press. He has them tell the press that they have decided that they are taking over the country. When the United States refuses the "Avengers" declare war on America. With the country outraged a reward is posted for the Avengers' capture: dead or alive. Rick Jones and the Teen Brigade get suspicious when Cap never comes back for them. Rick and the Geek Brigade find Nefaria's control room, but Nefaria sees them and sicks the Maggia goons on them. He has them thrown into the dungeon. 
Nefaria tells the Avengers the charity function was cancelled and sends them out not knowing they are wanted criminals. Nefaria tells Cap that the Geek Brigade is looking around his castle. Nefaria called the army and they arrive to capture the Avengers. The Avengers escape and learn they are wanted. They seem to remember feeling hazy after Nefaria's castle and decide to return there. One of the Geek Brigade pulls out a pocket ham radio they had. Nefaria intercepts Jones' message and confines the Brigade by putting them in a dungeon filled with a substance that will put them in a state of perpetual suspended animation. He then closes the walls up so that they can't move without touching the substance. The Avengers return and Thor steps on a disc that completely paralyzes him. Giant-Man touches Thor's shoulder and is paralyzed too. Then Wasp touches Giant-Man. Iron Man is paralyzed while trying to get in above. Cap swings in through a window and doesn't touch the castle. Cap is attacked by Maggia goons. Cap ditches the goons and frees the Geek Brigade. Rick shows Cap the antidote because Nefaria had been taunting him with it. Rick takes it to free the others. Cap signals a passing Destroyer on the Hudson, but is then captured by a ray. Nefaria gloats to Cap, but then Iron Man comes crashing through the wall. When cornered Nefaria tries to explain he didn't hurt anyone. He tells them what he did. The general overhears and arrests Nefaria. Nefaria is to be deported. Nefaria fears punishment by the Maggia.

Marvel Girl manages to get Cyclops' eye restraint off. He frees the others and they are contacted mentally by Professor X. The Senate agrees to Nefaria's terms. The X-Men agree to join Nefaria and make the pick up. Nefaria reminds them that only he can turn off the dome in case they think of betraying him. The X-Men drive a milk truck in through a special location. Nefaria also sends his five lieutenants to watch the X-Men.

He plans to take the money and return to Central Europe and rebuild the Maggia. The X-Men make the pick up. Once outside the dome again the Unicorn, leader of the lieutenants, demands the money.

The X-Men regain the case and Marvel Girl gets in the truck. The truck returns to Nefaria. Professor X uses his powers to walk into Nefaria's base. Marvel Girl gives the money to Nefaria. Professor X walks in and manipulates the controls as he saw when in his astral form. Nefaria flees with the money.
