Friederich Schmidt (Earth-2991)

"Killing me will not stop Nova!"

- Friederich seconds before his death

Friederich Schmidt was a German scientist and ex-Nazi who created the chemical weapon Nova-6, a nerve toxin capable of killing a human in a matter of seconds.

Early Life
Schmidt was born on June 11, 1904 in Hamburg, then German Empire. Not much else is known about his early life.

World War II
Before the war, Friedrich Schmidt was a genius who had earned a collection of degrees and was thus sought by the Waffen-SS for his service in the various Wunderwaffen projects. His role was the creation of Nova 6 (the development began in January 1943), a toxin with such deadliness even the creator himself was horrified. The weapon was to be used as a last resort against the Allies, but before it was properly tested, Germany was invaded by the Western Allies and the Soviet Union culminating in the capture of Berlin by Soviet and Polish troops, the suicides of Adolf Hitler and many Nazi officials and the subsequent collapse of the Third Reich.
