Under his master's orders, he served Adolf Hitler during World War II and frequently came into conflict with the Invaders. Despite being slain during the war, he has been revived numerous times, usually in order to battle Captain America, Union Jack or Nick Fury.
The third Baron Blood emerged in from a colorful ancestry; his mother was former Invader Spitfire, his uncle and grandfather had been Union Jack, and his great-uncle had been none other than John Falsworth, the first Baron Blood. Being a frail boy most of his life, he encouraged his friend Joseph Chapman to become the next Union Jack, but, growing jealous of his old friends success, took up the mantle as the new Baron Blood to take revenge on his great-uncle's old enemies.

- Secondary Color Nemesis: Baron Blood dresses in purple.
