Driven by insanity and greed, Baron Zemo and his Masters of Evil were prominent during the 60s and 70s. Now, thirty-plus years later, they're back to wreck havoc and threaten the world with bizarre doomsday devices.

- Baron Zemo: Baron Zemo was a Nazi scientist of great renown during the Second World War. During that time, he suffered and accident with a chemical called Adhesive X, which scarred his face and saturated the protective cloth he was wearing to it. Trapped with a bag stuck to his head, Zemo went insane, eventually going into hiding at the end of the war. He returned in the late fifties after having built a criminal empire creating weapons for anti-Allied forces. During the next nearly two decades, he gathered a group of villains around him, calling them the Masters of Evil, and building ever more complex doomsday devices to force the world's governments to bend to his will. He was believed killed when his Doom Fortress was destroyed by Christian Kane and his fellow agents, and his Masters of Evil scattered. Zemo is insane, but also a legitimate genius. He was able to create highly advanced devices, equal to Forge's own skills, with 1960s technology. A master engineer, physicist, chemist, and biologist, Zemo's mind is matched only by his insanity. His compulsive megalomania traps him to a ridiculous scheme to take over the world, and his genius makes the threat occasionally real.
- The Melter: Bruno Horgan was an industrialist who specializes in providing munitions to the United States government. Horgan was driven into banruptcy when a government safety inspection team proved that he is using inferior materials. Horgan then discovered that one of his faulty devices is capable of casting a beam capable of "melting" anything. He used his machine to wreck vengence on the government before going into hiding. Zemo recruited him, but when he was apparently killed, Bruno's melting beam was also seized. He spent three decades, half mad, reliving the last days of villiany in the last of Zemo's hidden fortresses, maintaining the small store of remaining devices. Bruno is quite mad; pathologically demented with a presucution complex a mile wide. He is the classic weakling who suddenly gets power and wants more. Once his ray is returned to him, Bruno will fight to the death to hold it. The ray destroys molecule's ability to hold together, reducing any material into either an organic ooze or pile of dust.
- Black Knight: Sir Percy of Scandia was once a noble example of a peerless knight, until jealousy and greed made him forget his vows and slowly obsess about acquiring power. He acquired a strange ebon blade, which earned him the name of the Black Knight. He was ritually cursed for his increasing brutality, and when he died, his sword was stolen from his grave and sold. His soul had been bonded to the sword, allowing him to infest the current owner, but he cannot seize control unless the owner allows it. In the Masters' of Evil time, he had possessed a former American general, who was happy to let Sir Percy indulge his passion for slaughter. He was killed when the Doom Fortress went down. He later took on the body of a young Carrib drug lord. The Black Knight is immune to psionic control, as the mind is split between two people. The sword is mystically cursed, and all but indestructible. The Black Knight possesses enhanced physical abilities, as well as being an expert swordsman.
- Skurge the Executioner: Skurge is a legitimate Norse god, called on to execute the lowest and darkest of evil doers. Unlike his more noble brothers, Skurge delights in the killing. He also remains a hopeless thrall of the Enchantress, serving as her ally and muscle on each of her plots. When she spent the 60s on Earth, he followed closely, wrecking death and havok when ever possible. After Zemo was believed killed, they both returned to Asgard, only to slip back to earth thanks to the magical fluctuations caused by the breaking of the astral plane. Skurge, as a god, is super strong, highly resistant to damage, and his great axe can cut through any material, even invulnerable characters or unbreakable materials, like adamantium. He is immune to psionics as his mind is not human, but susceptible to magic.

- The Enchantress: see Amora, the Enchantress under Asgard.
