Heinrich Schmidt (Earth-5340)

Heinrich Schmidt, known by his alter ego and title of Baron Cobra was the leader of the Nazi sponsored organization COBRA during the turmoiled times of World War II, and the de facto first attempt of a super soldier, being the prime test subject of Doctor Victor Fenhoff with a unstable version of the Super Soldier Serum. With the appearance of a super soldier on the side of the Allied Forces, Captain America, and the subsequent losses COBRA suffered by her, Baron Cobra would become the American's hero archnemesis, orchestrating several assaults in order to eliminate her, but which failed at each single attempt, during one of those he was severely scarred by an attack of Cap with the Adhesive X, which burned his face.

He, however, would gain a piece of the Anti Life Equation, and used it to strenghten COBRA's forces, one particular battle which ended with the death of Captain America's friend James Todd. During a last stand against Captain America and her Howling Commandos, Cobra seemingly died by being absorbed into the Source, but returned to Earth with the aid of Wolfgang von Krupt, disguising himself as a U.S. Senator by the name of Adam Kelly.
