Notable Aliases: Ms. Von Bardas
First Appearance: Secret War #1 (April, 2004)
"Congratulations on your perseverance and American spirit. Most of you were supposed to be dead by now. But so was I. So I guess we're even."
Lucia Von Bardas was Latveria's prime minister. She used tech-based super villains to smuggle certain tech to American soil. Nick Fury however found out her plan and when he didn't get authorization to get rid of her, he went behind his superiors' backs. He gathered a group of heroes who overthrew Latveria's government, Lucia among them.
- Black Eyes of Crazy: Her Ret-Canon appearance has her with black sclerae and glowing purple eyes.
- Cyborg: Her body was rebuilt with cybernetics, to the point it's difficult to determine how much of her remains organic.
- Reforged into a Minion: She was turned into a cyborg and made loyal to Dr. Doom. She eventually snapped out of her programming and went back to being independent.
- Secondary Color Nemesis: She's heavily associated with the colors green and purple.
- Starter Villain: For Winter Soldier vol 1. It's her plot that kicks off the story arc, but she's quickly taken out once a certain other Latverian ruler got involved.
- The Von Trope Family: Just like Victor, she's Lucia Von Bardas.
- Too Dumb to Live: She once tried picking a fight with Doom. Brave, but given at the time she was a cyborg and Victor has skills with technology... it didn't end well for her. He instantly seized control of all her systems and left her a vegetable.
