Friedrich Steiner (Earth-5082)

"I remember you... Vorkuta. You don't know what we did to you! Killing me won't stop Nova."

- - Doctor Friedrich Steiner to Alex Mason

Doctor Friedrich Steiner was a Nazi German scientist specialized on the development of chemical weapons for the Waffen-SS, which led him to discover the nerve toxin he baptized Nova 6, which was capable of killing a human being in mere seconds of exposure. His work attracted the interest of the Soviet officer Nikita Dragovich, who rescued him in a mission to the Artic instead of killing him as per their orders.
